Irish Molly:

Chocolate Cosmos:

There are a couple brown flowers. Greens should be easier to find. I think snapdragons come in green? Those are pretty...

Welcome to Pash!

I guess it depends on what you mean by "unique"--in coloring? Flowers that aren't often used? I don't have suggestions, but try talking to a florist or looking at some flower websites.

Keep in mind that you want flowers that do well when cut, and "unique" may mean "expensive"--varying by your location and the date of your wedding and when and where the flowers you want usually bloom.

Are you using a fall theme? Being in October....
There are many unusual wild flowers out there.
Let me know what kind of floral theme you are wanting to go with. I will hunt things down for you if you can give me a bit more specific idea of what you want.

Try this one. ?????

If you want something dramatic, then brown anthuriums would be exotic - rich and glossy, and very unusual. Ask for "Tropic Night" for the darkest shade, almost black, "Choco" for a plain-chocolate colour, or "Castano" for something more brunette. Chocolate cosmos, a daisy-like flower in deep rich brown, with a real chocolate fragrance would also be unusual and interesting.

For a focal point a cream Bianca or Akito rose is lovely.

Add your unique style with diamante or gorgeous ribbons to bind the handle of your bouquet or perhaps a brooch?

Okay, so I'm an Oct. bride too, and I've been floral brainstorming as well, with Chocolate Brown as my main color, and no knowledge of anything floral lol.
I LOVE those Chocolate Cosmos Bree posted, so I googled the heck out of them and thought I'd post one of the sites I found to give you more ideas. PRETTY arrangments, that I'm sure you could even DIY if you could search for the individual flowers.

ETA: If anyone else finds anything on these, let me know. I'm determined to find some silk chocolate cosmos.
