How to Make Beautiful Flower Arrangements

Okay here’s the thing I had to change my colors to my wedding due to lack of flowers and since it is in December I decided to go with red and silver and do a christmas theme. Well my best friend just got married an did the colors red, white, and black and she used red and white roses and I would like to know what kind of floral arrangements I could do to make mine different? I was told I can use some kind of flowers to place in for my greenery so I wouldn’t have to coordinate it in through my b/m’s and or the groomsmen b/c the color looked a little tacky to me with the red and silver but I don’t even know what kind of flowers to do.I would like them to be silk flowers and not real.Also I am on a tight budget so I can only spend about 300 no more than 400. I had asked so called experts an instead of getting advice they tell me they don’t know. Well I figured someone on here could help with advice.Any ideas will be more than helpful please! My wedding is in 11 and a 1/2 weeks it was short notice but I need help! Thanks so much!

Silk flowers are just as expensive as real ones, but you have the advantage of doing them ahead of time.

For the table centerpieces, just buy one pot of amaryllis or one pot of pointsettias. This alone will keep costs down. http://viette.poweredbyindigo.com/images/products/AmaryllisMinervaS.jpg
Amaryllis in Dec are forced blooms (similar to forcing tulips to bloom in the winter instead of spring), and can be ordered ahead of time. Or, you can buy them about 1 week before your wedding from anywhere; the blooms last a really long time.

For your bouquet, you could do white irises with red tulips, or red lilies. For a little more money, you could do white orchids with red roses.

For your bridesmaids bouquets, keep it simple and pick only one flower out of your bouquet, to be in theirs only. For example, all irises, or all tulips. Their bouquet should be smaller than yours.

Making corsages are really really easy, but remember to make extras because the groom’s always gets crushed when he gets hugged. Make it yourself for < $2; buy it for $10.

hello im a florist from norwich, i have done a few weddings using cream roses as they are very popular and always give a clean look to a wedding. To keep the wedding simple you could use a gold and chocolate sand in the bottom of a fish bowl (they come in all different sizes) and float 3 rose heads in each bowl, its a simple yet modern design. If your wedding is going to be more traditional you could have small posy arrangements in gold or chocolate containers with greenery, wires or diamante pins in each of the roses, looks really effective.
Hope your wedding goes well, all the best. lucy x

I know all of you have made a good point in my last post, but i don’t think i illustrated well enough, its VERY complicated but isn’t love eh!
Basically what happened was she tried ringing me one day alot, 98 times to be precise and i didn’t get them because they were so early in the morning, she just wanted to hear me basically, i totally forgot about the phone calls and ended up falling asleep.
When i woke up i barely looked at my phone and didn’t call her for some stupid reason, anywho she was working that night so i thought, ill pop in with my friend and see her (my friend drives and it was kind of the only way i could go see her) and anyway, when i got there she had just finished but arranged a lift home with her dad, so i waited with her and she totally was blanking me, and i couldn’t think why.
Her lift arrived after barely talking or discusing the problem and then she kissed me and said bye, she told me the day after she wanted me to go after her and follow her back to hers to sort things out, but because i was confused at why she was being dull i left it and did my own thing, the morning after things went COMPLETELY out or proportion, i fell out with her bigstyle on the phone and messenger etc..
I went to see her but was i really stubbern, i didnt want to compromise just get my words in.
she got really upset and her brother told me to leave which i did. she text me that night and i felt awful so i sucked up to her bigstyle.
The day after that she came to mine and i turned on the symapthy act again STUPIDLY and made her upset when i should of settled it.
I didnt see her all weekend after that because of her working hours but by the time i had a chance to see her she was really unwell and i was defenceless, i felt terrible ringing all my friends trying to fix it, i bought her flowers and a "me to you" toy bear. she came to mine 2 days ago and kissed me vigorously and said "everything is fine, i love you and i want to be with you i just need time to get through my medicine"
basically im just scared that she doesnt lose her feelings for me while she recovers remembering that i was a total dick to her, i would chop off my arms and legs to make that girl smile, i beg that she would still take me back… i know ive made myself sound like a bastard but i have done some REALLY sweet things to attempt to redeem myself. what i should i do? give it more time its been over a week nearly now? please please help

You don’t need time. You need to be trying to get with her at every chance, since by your own admittance you were a total dick to her. From what you said it does sound as if she deserves better than the way you’ve been treating her. Send flowers, take her out to dinner, leave her singing telegrams, what ever you can do to make up for the way you have treated her. If she doesn’t respond, then you’re just getting back what you put out there with her. Trust. ‘;-)
