I need help! Flowers....

GeordieBarbie, 5 May, 2010 at 09:05 Posted on Planning 0 3

OK, for someone who hasn't been hung up about this matching that, i've suddenly been having a stress about the flowers... ?

I always knew I wanted gerberas - pink ones. I found a pic on a website, showed it to the florist and that was it - sorted.

We're going for our final meeting with her on Saturday - 2 weeks before when we need to confirm exactly wat we want. Easy I thought - just need to sort out the colours for the men and the women. Except I jad a wobble about my bouquet (it's too much of a ball) and now I'm in a tizz about flower colours. What's happneed to me??? ?

I want fuscia pink, D wants white for his buttonhole. The BMs I thought about pale pink as their dress is a darker pink and then thought the men should match the BMs. But what about the Dad's and Mam's and Grandma's??? The women I thought white so it matched outfits and possibly the Dad's in white too. But then I'm the only one with fusica??

I have:
Bride
Bridesmaid's x 2
Groomsmen x 5
Dad's x 3
Mam's x 3
Grandma's x 2

This is the bouquet I thought I wanted - but it's too ball like. Something similar, but not so ball like, with maybe some greenery in it - less structured. I dunno. I did always love Fressias as a kid so thinking if I need to break it up, maybe some white ones - then I could tie in with D??

Why am I suddenly trying to make everyone match??? Arrgggghhhhhh!!

    Chill Missus. It will all be fine. I think you're overanalysing things a bit. Noone is going to come up to you on 22nd and say 'I noticed that you were the only one with a pink bouquet. How very odd.' ?

    Once you sit down with the florist, she'll help you interpret what you want - that's what she's there for. E.g. if you want that bouquet, but less structured, see what ideas she has.

    I really don't think it matters if you're the only one with fuscia pink - you have the shoes remember!

    Just go with your gut, don't think about it too much or you'll end up with daffodils or something completely away from your original plans. Your florist will help, I promise!

    Exactly WSS!

    What about having less flowers in your bouquet? I'm having 6 handtied gerbera for mine, so only fairly small...

    Aw hun, i was having this stress last week when i was asked to confirm my choices. I have the same colour scheme as you and my sister is in a hot pink dress so i'll show you what i have picked - may help you confirm your decisions or realise that what you first thought is the right choice.

    Button Holes x8 (1x Groom white carnation 5x Groomsmen inc FOB hot pink carnations 2x coursages for MOB and MOG hot pink carnation but different more feminine leaves with very small white flowers) hope that made sense. I would have the groom different from the rest as he is special!

    Bridesmaid x1 Gerberas (ive gone for bright colours as her dress is such a hot pink) with Carnations (to tie in with the buttonholes and a little greenery will look like this but obv with the carnations.

    Bride (ME :o)) Roses (White and hot pink) Gerberas (Hot Pink) Carnations (Pinks) and long green things, basically going to look like this but with out the lilies and brooch it will be wrapped half stem in hot pink ribbon.


    You are stressing as your wedding is so close now and you want everything to be perfect - relax it will be what ever you choose, any flowers with your amazing venue and dress it will be fab. Try and relax xx
