What kind of flowers should i use for my bouquets, boutineres , corsages and altar arrangements ?
Im not a really big flower person. My bouquet is going to be the only one with real flowers and the rest is silk flowers . My colors are Cornflower blue, Palm Beach coral and white .. the wedding is in July :-] Please i need some good suggestions ?
Coral is pretty easy what with the wide array of rose colors now. I’m a bit stumped for other flowers that fit the "coral" mode.
The blue: Look at hydrangeas, iris, delphiniums, corn flowers. Pure blue is limited to only a few flowers.
Whites….. big selection; from orchids single or in a spray, lilies, calla lilies, roses, carnations, lisianthus……oh my. Two sites you might want to look at is Teleflora.com…….yes, the flower site. But you can select by color and look at some of their ideas. Granted coral and blue combo isn’t show, but you might get some ideas. The second site is a wholesale flower site for the industry, but you can see what’s available to florists around the country. It’s www.sierraflowerfinder.com
It’s a slow site because it has to zip world wide with each search to see what each grower has available. A faster site is www.bloomsxpress.com Once again you can see what’s available in the trade.
Of course you can always go with a white arrangement and select blue and coral ribbon trailers…….

you can get iris in alot of different shades of blue, and lilies in coral. also you can take food coloring and dye white flowers to the color you want.
