WHAT FLOWERES!!!!

Hello to be

I AM NOT SURE IF ANYONE KNOWS ALOT ABOUT FLOWERS. I AM GETTING IN SEPTEMBER 10, 2004, I REALLY WANT AN ALL ROSE WEDDING, MY BRIDE'S MAID DRESSES ARE A CHAMPAGNE COLOR AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT IVORY ROSES BUT WHAT ELSE CAN I PUT WITH THEM.

THANK YOU KAREN

Re: WHAT FLOWERES!!!!

I would use more of a color! the ivory will get lost in your pics if the BM's dresses are champagne

Re: WHAT FLOWERES!!!!

I think a rose color would look wonderful with a champagne dress - I agree with Stacey that the ivory might get lost...

Re: WHAT FLOWERES!!!!

Why not pick an accent color, like wine, rose, lilac, and then include that color on some other things, and then have the BM's carry those color roses.

For my Brother's wedding we wore champagne and carried red roses, they looked beautiful together. But the got married in December, so a lighter color might be better.

Check out this website Roses

I think you definately need some color in your flowers. Otherwise they will blend in with the dresses. You can add like a filler flower such as purple caspia, or pink waxflower. But if you are going to do an all rose wedding, why not mix up the colors. I think if you have bouquets of all different colored roses, it would look gorgeous. Especially in the reception room. OHH! Pretty!

Peach Roses are a nice touch. My sister used Peach roses in the girls boo-ks and it was beautiful. We had champaign colored dresses...I think that would go great

I wore a champagne colored dress for a freinds wedding and the flowers were totally vibrant! Like bright fuschia and purple and yellow, all stems wrapped in pink ribbon. I dried my bouquet and still have it on a shelf, it's beautiful.

Re: WHAT FLOWERES!!!!

You could have light pink roses, peach roses, light yellow and darker peach roses to brighten it up...Ask your florist to show you an arrangement of roses that all match but that would look elegant and vibrant in contrast to the BMs dresses...

Re: WHAT FLOWERES!!!!

I also wanted only one color roses (orange), but my slorist convinced me it will look borring, and she was right! She used ro80% roses varying from orange to dark ivory colors, and 20% other flowers also in orange and peach! itI loved the way it came out!

Re: WHAT FLOWERES!!!!

maybe more of a blush color of rose. I actually used bluch and ivory with some wax flowers (not sure if this is the right name of flower) the wax flowers gave it enough color.
