    I am having pink and ivory roses, Lisianthus and fressia in mine but my BM is having a similar bouquet but will be just ivory as she is in pink and didn't want to overdo the pinkness! I went to a wedding recently that was teal and the BMs had hot pink gerbera bouquets which looked fab! If I find a pic I'll post. The Bride struggled to get a teal bouquet that looked right with their outfits...

    My colours are purple and navy (the main colours in the kilt he's wearing) I'm having purple, white and yellow tulips, my bridesmaids are having purple and white carnations (my late gran's favourite flowers - needed someone to have them there!)

    Good Morning Mrs A To Be,

    As I am having an October wedding I have decided on Calla Lillies and Roses.

    My colour scheme is Ivory / Cream / Oyster.

    I want a cascading bouquet and my BM’s will have a poesy type arrangement. I’m only doing button holes for the wedding party so want H2B's calla lily button hole to be cream and all the other’s to have an oyster colour (if possible).

    I have a few ideas for top table and centre peices but have not decided style I want yet x

    Teal is one of the hardest colours to match up. I would advise the same & have Ivory flowers , Roses, Lisianthus, Freesia, sweet peas and the add either ribbon in Teal or beading to bring in the colour. Teal flowers don't look real, they look artificial and there are no natural teal flowers. It is better to either accent with Teal or add in a complimenting colour such as Orange, Pink, Lemon to accentuate the Teal colour.

    Yes one of the most expensive times of the year to get married! Mother's Day, Valentines Day, Easter always the Fresh flowers are more expensive. It will also depend on the flowers that you want some are more expensive ie. Roses, Calla Lilies & some Orchids .

    I am having lillies as my dress is modern.. am struggling on price though and don't know what to pay.

    I found a flowers guide price https://www.watchshopping.com/watch-guide/best-wedding-watches-for-the-bride-and-groom/ but it doesn't give it by individual bouquet type. Does anyone know how much lily bouquet can cost?

    After deciding on artificial flowers, i am now getting fresh as i got a quote from a fab florist in our town (after a quote from the first one nearly gave me a heart attack) and they were more of less the same as the artificial ones and Im having a Hand tied bouquet with lisyanthis, fushia gerbras and greenery and other purple flowers i cant remember the names off! and my 2 older brides maids are having the same but smaller and my 2 flower girls are having a single gerbera with purple ribbon on etc

    I like the idea of the bright pink gerbera with the teal!

    These are mine and my OH's with MOH being a smaller version of mine. We have a teal theme, but will be having the flowers bound with teal ribbon and a few peacock feathers dotted around (only in mine).

    I corporated the colours by using ribbon on the stems as I'm not a huge fan of everything being coloured in weddings anyway.

    I am having a turquoise colour scheme - and was going to have ivory flowers, but have gone with hot pink (after my mum turning her nose up at this she now thinks its fab!) - i've seen quite a few teal weddings with pink flowers too!

    i am having 3 different types of roses (but can't remember what they are called!) in a hand tied bouquet, with smaller ones for the bms! i asked for recommendations and about 5 people said this same girl - turns out we were in the same class at school!! she was soooooooooo reasonable too!

    Snap! Im having Teal as my theme too! Im having a shower bouquet with ivory avalanche roses and freesias, some eucalyptus and foliage. Im also having little teal diamante to pick up on the teal theme and also some butterflies.

    My bridesmaids are having hand tied of ivory avalanche roses, freesias and teal diamante.

    For the reception we are having Martini glasses filled with the above but with different teal accents like wood sticks etc.

    Hope that helps.

    If you want any other ideas for your teal theme let me know as it can be a hard colour to match like Sherrie said! xx
