How did you pick your flowers?

How did you pick your flowers?

I'm so indecisive! I need to pick flowers for my bouquet and reception centerpieces. I'm having a daytime wedding and my BMs hopefully will be wearing lilac dresses. How did you select your bouquet and centerpieces?

I looked in the Bridal Mags and went from there.

I neded up with light green hydrangeas, queen annes lace and cream colored garden roses.

I'm also having a daytime wedding. I picked lillies for me, and roses for my BMs, all peach and white. It was an easy decision for me, I picked my Mom's favorites.

Their dresses are platinum

I brought a swatch to the florist and went through a bazillion pictures there and on the web and in magazines.

I basically started with a swatch of the BM dress and then went with what was in season at the time. I'm having a night wedding this January 31st so basically I went w/ Roses and Lilies which are always in season. My BMs are wearing Watters & Watters. I saw a picture of a cranberry dress in one of their brochures w/ the BMs holding a mixture of pink & lite purple roses.. it looked so nice against the dress, I knew I had to go w/ that. Also, I knew I didn't want to carry white flowers- so it all has to do with your 'vision' I guess.

It was easy with the kind of flowers i wanted, they were roses, and the red rose is my favorite. I knew I wanted a cascade for my boo-k, so the person whose handling the flowers, just showed me different kinds of the rose, and the girls are having a celedon dress, so we went with that.

I gave a swatch to my florist, told her some general preferences in terms of style, and then let her make suggestions. I didn't have any particular flowers in mind.

talk with your florist (or any florist) about what is in season in July. then look at some pictures and decide what kind of flowers you want (really manicured, wild flowers, more of a gardeny, free-flowing look?). There are some great pictures and posts on this site! In July you should have lots of nice options! Good luck!

Wacky - your BO-Ks sound amazing!!!

I basically knewe I wanted all roses and wanted to keep it simple and then I just looked at lots of centerpieces (thread) and went to Florist with ideas, I kept the rose idea but changed my centerpieces when I saw what the florist had to offer.

I went with my theme...'summer garden' the centerpieces were every in season and colorful flower...the bo-ks were yellows greens and whites...my colors


I had complete faith in my florist...since he was a family friend and I pointed to a few pictures and never worried about it after that...

they came out better than I expected...

I basically knew what boquet I wanted for myself. I gave my florist a swatch and met with her. She was very helpful and gave me alot of her time. I basically got ideas from magazines too.
