    What kind of thing are you looking for? Hand tie, shower, teardrop?

    Contemporary, Traditional, something out of the ordinary?

    Any colours or flowers in particular?

    We're having jade green as our colour, so I was thinking ivory and probably roses.

    These are my Bridesmaid bouquets -

    I've gotta shorten the stems and re-wrap them though.

    I had calla lillies

    I've had so many comments on the simplicity of my flowers because a lot of brides have callas with another flower as well. The ribbon matched the 2 tone colour part of my dress and the bm flowers had blue and silver ribbon.

    Im having teal and so also thinking of ivory colours and green foliage. Here are a few of my photos.



    Here is a picture of what my bouquet will be like and on the right the table flowers but I will have the same flowers as my bouquet.

    These were my bridesmaids flowers. the hand tide posies were for the adults and were real flowers. The cages were for the little ones and contained silk flowers.


    This was mine.

    Thanks Sherrie, I've seen dark purple ones used as button holes before and they looked really nice, am thinking along the lines of these or Gerberas but cant make up my mind! but want them in pink and purple (think we will be sticking with these colours instead of blue and pink.)

    I've used the dark Purple before:

    But Vanda Orchids look great as buttonholes they are larger than the phaelanopsis though.

    These look great Sherrie!

    Think I may be going with some kind of orchids for my flowers, mix of purples and pink and then would want the button holes one single orchid and the BM with wrist orchids....but then i also keep thinking of gerberas.

    Thank you! They're lovely. I think I have decided on fresh flowers though, although I am seriously tempted to get a silk replica of my bouquet so I can keep it forever.

    I am trying to convince the OH to have a sunflower button hole but he thinks it will be too big ☹️

    Most of those bouquets can be done in fresh by your florist, with the exception of the medieval handfasting one which has red poppies in - these can't be bought commercially. The sunflower I used in the buttonhole is a mini one which has a matching larger one in the artificial flowers but you could maybe ask your florist for a mini gerbera (germini) in yellow which is similar. You'll have to work your magic on him!

    Lol, yeah I'm going to give it a good go!

    My bms are having tied yellow roses and the other men are having lizianthus button holes as are the corsages a mixture of both so I wanted sunflowers, yellow roses and lizianthus for me with sunflower and lizianthus for OH
