FLOWER QUESTION

I am having a winter wedding. My girls are wearing dark gray with black sashes or maybe vice versa. I am having trouble picking out flowers. I did a search on the internet for winter flowers. I love peonies! The internet shows snowball mums. Does anyone have pics of them in a bouquet?

Re: FLOWER QUESTION

Your question had me curious about what winter brides do for flowers, so I did a Google search and found this, and thought it gave some good suggestions:

'Blues and purples, especially in combination with shimmery white, metallic silver, and glittery gold accessories, also create an illusion of winter and are popular with brides seeking a more contemporary look for their winter wedding. For flowers consider iris, freesia, statice, and heather. Or use blue or purple as an accent color, such as for iridescent ribbon on a bouquet or church pew; glass vases or bowls to hold arrangements of sparkly glass balls and greenery; or candles on mirrored surfaces.'

Dava what site is that from? Sounds like it has good suggestions and I'm totally clueless about what type of flowers I want for my yellow white and green theme. . .

Re: FLOWER QUESTION

I just typed 'Winter wedding flowers' into Google. If you need suggestions for yellow, white, and green, have you looked through TheKnot.com's photos yet? I got a lot of really good idea there.

Re: FLOWER QUESTION

i browse through them occassionally though I haven't done that in awhile. Have to see if they have anything new ...

Now that we are almost done booking the DJ I'm trying to get together an idea of what I'm looking for so I'm not entirely clueless when I go see some florists!
