what goes with roses?

[sarah+tim060609]

I am making my own bouquets and alter arrangements.
We are using red, white & silver for colors and are trying to keep costs as low as possible. I'm actually thinking of getting the flowers from BJ's or the grocery store.
I'm wondering what types of flowers go well with Red/white roses other than greens & baby's breath. Those are the only two things I can picture with roses.

There are many wonderful flower choices when it comes to red and white hues. Here are a few flowers which come in your colors and are readily available from any floral wholesaler: carnations, lisianthus, snapdragons, alstroemeria, gerbera daisies, chrysanthemums, delphinium, gladiolus, stock, the list goes on. Instead of baby's breath you can use waxflower or use an unusual greenery and no "filler or accent" flower at all.

Also, a quick suggestion. Consider asking a florist if they can buy the flowers in bulk for you and cut cost rather than purchasing through a regular grocery store. You can utilize their expertise and strong connections to ensure that you will get the right product at its best quality. A florist will be able to order specific varietal names of roses, and other flowers, ensuring the right colors are delivered.

Good luck with everything, and let us know if you need any more floral guidance.

I don't know why you missed Yellow Rose. Yellow & Pink are good colors which are suitable with bunch of other color roses ...

gee why didn't I think of that, maybe because I was using red, white and silver for my colors and not yellow or pink

If the colors are red, white, and silver, WHY would you use yellow and pink? That is odd.

LOL I'm sure the post was just a random one-timer who wanted to get their signature link out there but I couldn't help it. Got a laugh out of it anyway.

This is so amusing to read while bored at work.

I think yellow flowers won't fit in because first of all they are the most bright ones in whole set and secondly everyone doesn't like yellow color.

Roses are really beautiful and great but rather that that you can also take flowers like Hydrangeas, Tulips and Lily of the Valley. They are affordable and better as wedding bouquet.
