mysterygirl had a good list of flowers that can be ordered through a florist at any time of year, though you'll find some are more difficult to get and so more expensive than at different seasons.  Another idea, have a main component of your flowers, whether your bouquet or other arrangements, be greenery.  I worked one wedding where the bridesmaids bouquets were each a different kind of green, one was holly, another lemon leaf, another eucalyptus, etc., each with the same ribbon.  The bride's bouquet had a combination of the greens with white roses, it was very pretty and unique (and much less expensive than just using flowers).\n\nTalk to your florist, they can help you with what to do.  Congratulations, enjoy your beautiful day!

Well.. Flowers are for some guys.. but my hubby doesn't particularly like them.. (just his way I guess)\n\nBut he does love junkfood...a surprise pizza delivery for lunch...\n\nIf you want to send flowers, there is a really neat chain called Candy Bouquet.. they can make the candies look like a vase of flowers.. but they are edible..\n\nNow THAT my hubby WOULD like.. even if he doesn't particularly like flowers.

Unless you are willing to go silk flowers ( I did at my wedding.. had them dyed black and platinum which were my colors) I would keep the bridesmaids carrying white flowers of a different variety than yours - ie like Daisy's.  That color in natural flowers would be hard to match.  For the reception hall decorations though a nice deep green would offset that color nicely.  Good luck and congrats on your upcoming nuptials.

I think that sounds lovely, especially for an outdoor wedding in the summer! If anyone says they don't like it, stick out your tongue and tell them to bugger off. It's your wedding and you can do what you want.

wow...that sounds really beautiful and I hope it comes true for u. As for me, my fiance and I are paying for our own things. We are having a nice wedding (with a wedding dress and tuxs). for the reception it is going to be one with  hay...music...liquior and a bbq. it is us. We arent the whole fancy stuff. Like a country barn dance like u may see in some movies.  It looks great in my head so I pray it looks good out of it.  2 months to go.

FYI - My friend just purchased hot pink roses from Sam's Club - they were GORGIOUS!  \n\nA lighter shade of pink mixed in would create the contrast with the dresses without resorting to white.  \n\nYour bouquet could have white and the lighter pink to follow the theme!\n\nGood luck.

First, you will need one of the bouquet holders, that have styrofoam mounted to it.  Secondly, select your flowers.  The way you attach the flowers, is with floral picks.  Green sticks, with wires on the end.  (Available at Michaels, etc.)  You will also need some white floral tape to wrap around these, later.\n\nWith wire cutters, cut the flowers apart...and at the desired length that you want them.  Lay the stem of the flowers against the pick, and wrap the wire around it...to secure it to the pick.  Wrap the pick and much of the green stem, with the white floral tape.\n\nArrange flowers in the bouquet holder.  For the cascade effect....use longer picks that extend the flowers downward, and/or some vine type flowers that will hang down.  Attach ribbons, in the color of the wedding with picks, too.\n\nIf you want the ribbon to look like it is woven throughout the bouquet, make small loops of ribbon....attach each single loop to a pick....and put them all around the bouquet.  Be sure to cover as much green as you can, as this is a wedding....or, if you prefer to let the green show...use green floral tape.  Most prefer white, though.  \n\nJust be sure to fully cover all the wires, to give it a neat appearance.  It really is easier than it looks.  You can do it!

Start w/ knowing your budget -- to the dollar.  Save money on location and food.  Do you have a friend w/ a pretty house or landscaping?  Get married there.  Invite only a few guests, splurge on pictures or honeymoon, simple cake w/ punch.  Skip the fluffy dress and go w/ a white or ivory tea length.  The important thing is you and him and celebrating w/ those that you love and love you.  Remember KISS -- Keep It Simple Sweetie!  Congrats and good luck.

Here are a couple cute ideas all under $2. or you could check out some other sites for other ideas. The dollar stores are your best bet. They usually have nice stuff that can be dressed up cheap. Since it's summer a package of flower seeds in some tulle(wedding colors) in a mini flower pot would be cute, classy and inexpensive.

Try sending flowers via 1800flowers.com . I have been using them and so far ( knock on wood ) , they have been doing a good job cause the people i send to flowers to sends me an e-mail saying they got it. There on time as well .When you request the flowers to be there on a Thursday , it will get there on a Thursday

A small intimate wedding in the springtime is what I would choose. Since I am not you that is your decision's. I choose small and intimate because I would rather have my closest friends and family there than alot of people that I really don't talk to. As to the flowers that is definitely a personal preference.

If you look at prices online, you may not get accurate info. The best thing to do is call more florists in your area. Prices will vary greatly from state to state, even city to city, for many reasons-- Climate, availability, cost of living, competition, etc.\n\nGood luck and have a great wedding day!

Though I'm not a florist, I personally have a few ideas apart being a regular of flowers buyers for company events and for friends. \n\nFrom a customer's view; I would love the flowers I brought to be; \n\n1. Fresh\n2. Variety to choose from \n3. Creative (with styles compliment by the florist, him/herself)\n4. Affordable .....or simply Compatible with the florist creations from types of flowers or presentations that's been used. \n5. Extra Service, Delivery, discount vouchers, .......little extras. \n\nwell.....my advice is for you to do more research on the wholeseller's ; on where to get your stock of flowers from, then you have to check out what's the trends for the flower presentation's that appeal to your crowd/ customers , then you also have to deal with your business location as well as your delivery service (on types of  vehicle to use ), and....most importantly, your cost / budget for the business!\n\nGood Luck !

Hi!  Congrats on your engagement - I just got married in October.  The cost of invitations is unbelievable, isn't it??  What I did instead of going to a printer was create them myself.  Any good craft store (Michaels's, AC Moore) has pre-made wedding inviations kits that you print on the computer.  Everything is encluded (inviation, response card, and corresponding envelopes). Mine looked professional and for 225 guests I spent about $100 total. The directions are easy to follow and they turn out great.  Just a thought!  Good luck!!!!

You can get hydrangeas, iris, delphinium, and a world of other blue flowers that should be in season.  I wouldn't attemp dying gerberas.  They are a very tempermental flower and are very difficult to tell if they are gonna last even if they haven't been altered.  adding chemical dyes would most likely not be good for them, other flowers maybe, but prolly not gerberas.  They make a spray paint that is specially made for tinting flowers.  Your florist can get it.  This would be far less harsh on the gerberas.  Some florists refuse to do it, but many will if your paying!
