Our wedding is in November, I'll be in ivory and BMs in olive green. Anyone have any suggestions for flowers? No theme really-a few Irish touches here and there-but nothing that I feel we need to incorporate into our flowers. I really like the whole fall look-vibrant harvesty colored flowers, grasses, etc.
The florists we've met with have not been very helpful (IMO) in terms of creativity. Most start off with-so, what do you want? I haven't seen anything yet that jumps out at me.
Anyplace that I've lived with garden space, I've always grown flowers, but they tended to be wildflower mixes, sunflowers, climbing vines-very haphazard. I'm having trouble pulling everything together!
We're trying to keep this all under about $ 2000-$2500.
Any ideas, ladies?

I've having a fall wedding and using red roses and dalhias, and hydrangeas. All these flowers come in different colors.
With your color dress, I would suggest, yellows, oranges, and reds. You could use sunflowers in that. There are some pics of boquets with sunflowers on the knot.com

Re: Help for the floral-ly challenged!
be careful with sunflowers! these are my absolut favorite flowers and I was going to incorporate them into my wedding but I have learned, they wilt quickly once out of water! Also, if you don't get them in their seasonal time, June-August, they are more expensive because your florist will have to import them.

I am getting married in October and doing fall flowers as well....here are 2 pics I found that I like with fall colors and all.
Since your BM dresses are olive green, I would probably try to keep their bouquets low key and a solid color.

I would definitely recommend going to see John at Flower Michelle in Huntington. I'm pretty florally challenged myself and I met with him over the weekend. He had some great ideas and we came up with beautiful combinations. He suggested things I never would have thought of that looked just beautiful. Definitely go see him, he's one of the most highly rated florist on this board also!
