I am hoping to do my wedding flowers myself, infact it it one of the things I am looking forward to most about the Wedding!

Can anyone give me some names of species of rose or other suitable flowers to use for a relaxed/vintage feel in dusky purple/lilac and pink please, as I would like to try and start contacting florists and wholesale flower suppliers, to see if they can get me the flowers I am after, but currently not sure of any names of ones that would be suitable!

Also any advice of what to grow myself that might be useful to use too, as going to have a bash at that as well!?

The Wedding is in August.

Many Thanks.

    You could have Amnesia roses (which is a dusky purple colour) and sweet avalanche rose (which is pale pink)
