totally lost

[apeters]

I need some help with my flowers... My colors are briaght red, black adn white. I know I want calla lillys but I have no idea what else?
I'm also wondering about possibly dying the calla lillys but I don't know about price?

I didn't use Lilly's but this is my BM flowers.


If your girls are going to wear red I suggest you don't put them with red flowers. I put the guys with a red rose and they had a red shirt on and it clashed..

I did use calla lilies for my flowers. I had all white for mine, and then my BP had yellow/orange ones. I bought all of mine at Hobby Lobby, and they looked very realistic. They also had red ones too if I remember correctly. They have all colors, anyhow. As far as my prices, since I bought all the flowers when they were half off (Hobby Lobby has some awesome sales, the usually rotate the floral and bridal dept. half off) I spent a total of $50 on all my flowers. That included my bouqet, the BM's, the GM, the groom, my dad, corsages for the mom's and special helpers, and the toss bouqet. So, if you're going to go the silk route, I'd suggest going there.

Also, like Lj said, if they're wearing red I wouldn't give them red flowers, red's a hard color to match shades of.

Mine is on the left, the BMs is on the right. I loved my flowers. :-D

I have no idea abotu dying calla lilies just cause I haven't really heard of it.

But here are a few suggestions that work with your color scheme:







I wouldn't use the ones with red if your girls will be in red for them but you could still have red if they don't.

I really like the callas with the berries that KM posted.
Sparkle I don't know that I have ever seen pics of your flowers, they turned out great!!!

[sparklesweetie]

Thanks Breezy! I promise as soon as I can find someone that has high speed net, I'll get my pics loaded and you can see them all together!

Hi apeters. I haven't had time to read your intro yet, so here's a welcome to Pash from me.

My colors were black & white, with red and silver accents too. I had white roses for myself and my BMs, almost exact to the rose photo that kenziesmama posted. (I was in white and my BMs were in black.) My advice would be to go with a solid colored flower with those colors, or to use one of those colors for your bouquet, BM bouquets and/or centerpieces.

I would definitely be careful with dying the flowers because if any of it rubs off on your dress, it would be very difficult to get off.

I really like the picture with the callas and berries. It looks really pretty while being simple and still having a touch of something.

I totally agree It's very elegant & simple, but kind of modern too

[kenzies_mama]

The one I posted with the berries is my favorite too, and it would be so easy to make with silk flowers.

[m_t_rose]

Silk flowers are really easy to use but to give one peice of advice it would be give your self lots of time. I had most of my flowers done and then one day I decided that I did not like one of the BM bouquets so I took the whole thing apart and started from scratch.

Since you chose a dramatic color scheme, I can see each person carrying a giant single calla lilly, in a color contrasting with each gown.

Or maybe a black and a white one with the red dresses, and a red and black bouquet for yourself?

[apeters]

I'm wondering if anyone can help me find pictures or ideas of boquets with mainly only red and white or red white and black calla lilys... I'm having trouble!!!
