Do these flowers/bouquets go together?......

kj82, 1 June, 2010 at 20:31 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hey ladies,

I was originally going to have all rose posy style bouquets buuuuuuuuut then I changed my colour scheme to dark/hot pink and i just dont like hot pink roses!!!I dont really want a white one myself as i wanted some colour against my white dress. Do you think roses look ok with stargazer lilies?? Ie my bm's have white rose posies and me have the stargazers. Do you think itd look better if i had some roses in my bouquet too to balance it out??bThey would be fakeys btw Smiley smile

Any pics/inspiration would be welcome, I know you ladies normally solve my problems hee hee!!! Smiley smile

    If youre not sure about bright roses, why not look at bright ranucculus or peonies... you can get good fakes of them too

    But if you love the bright stargazers Id have them on their own, rather thn mix them with roses. Your BMS can have different flowers. Then you could have half the tablecentres with roses and half with stargazers.... to reflect the look x

    When I said your BMS could have different flowers i mean the roses you have already picked. You dont have to have the same flowers in your bouquets

    My flowergirls are have carnation pomanders and Im having a bouquet of peonies, hygrangeas and dahlias xx

    Roses go well with stargazer lilies. These are the new 'real touch' artificial stargazers which are better quality than the standard artificial ones:-

    Ranunculus would also go with the lilies but personally, I wouldn't put peonies with lilies as peonies are higher up the ladder in the floral world than lilies and to put the two together would, in my opinion, cheapen the peonies if you see what I mean. Feel free to browse my website for ideas on artificial bouquets.

    The Bridesmaids are having Ivory Roses with cerise Beading to tie in the colours:

    These are for a Chocolate & Hot Pink Colour scheme:

    Because of the detail of your dress on the right side of the photo (love the dress by the way!) I would go for something which echo's the curves such as either a medium size, semi crescent bouquet curving in the same direction such as this (Ignore the flowers) :-



    Or, an extended posy which is basically a posy with a tail on such as this:-


    These are both artificial - lots more different styles on my website. Not sure if these photos have loaded properly as Hitched is extraordinary slooooowwwwwww this morning! Hope that helps - Brenda.

    Have a look through my album of Real Brides, it sometimes helps to actually see the Bride holding a Bouquet:
