Wedding Flowers
Hello. I am having a garden wedding next June and I am very confused about what flowers to go with. I love so many, but would love some suggestions. My dress is ivory with some floral detail that is colored. My bridesmaids are each wearing a different color dress, which matches the colors in my gown. The colors are celadon, lilac, frost blue and mauve. It is a very colorful wedding. I am not sure if I should stick with plain flowers to not clash with all the colors in the gown. If you have any suggestions please email me at xmarcndebx@aol.com

Hey Debbie,
If your gown has a lot of color, you might consider having your bouquet done in all ivory or white. There is no reason you can`t have lots of color in your maids` bouquets. You can do a mixture of all the colors, or
Do a bouquet to match each dress: for the mauve, have pinks, hot pinks, burgundies, mauves, etc. In her bouquet.
The main thing to consider in an outdoor wedding is choosing flowers that will hold up well in the heat. Remember that roses are a good choice, but will begin to open in the heat. Check with your florist for choices.
Hope this has helped!
