Flower colors - blue? green?

For my wedding, I am having 4 bridesmaids, each of them in a different color. The colors are lavendar, light blue, celadon (think celery), and tea rose. I was hoping to match their bouquets to their dresses, but I don't know what flowers would work best with all those colors. I know blue and green are particularly hard to find. Ideas? Suggestions? Also, I'm on a tight budget, and I don't want to spend a lot of money. And if it makes a difference, I am getting married in a "backyard" kind of garden. And how can I incorporate those flowers into my own bouquet?

Having them all in different colors is a great idea, but you want to tie them all together somehow. Having them all carry the same bouquet would be the perfect solution. Also, when you think of a bouquet, don't think it has to have a few dozens flowers. There are some very classy options, like 3 tall white callas tied together with ribbon - or 3 white gerbera daisies also tied together. Incorporating those into your bouquet would be much easier than 4 different colors of flowers.
Reply:Silk flowers are a good idea. Blue flowers, like mums and carnations are easy to find. Baby's breath will make an attractive bouquet.

I wouldn't use green flowers, although the stem leaves can fill in the arrangement nicely, and make it real.
Reply:Your florist can do this. Wildflower bouquets with a little of every color would be a good option. The florist can do the same with your bouquet, but bigger and better. Or, have them all carry a simple white flower, like daisies.
Reply:Work with your florist to find a mixed bouquet with each of the colours incorporated as well as white, yellow and greenery, then have each bouquet be the same for each bridesmaid. Then, you have a larger bouquet with the same flowers, with maybe a few differences, such as an orchid, more roses, a stargazer lily, for example.

Good for you for going with this idea! We had four colours for our wedding as well - pink, lilac, yellow, and light teal.
Reply:I know theyre very simple, but how about daisies? They are sweet flowers, something you might find growing wild. Even though they are white, I think it would work well.
Reply:I got married on a beach so each of my bridesmaids were in different shades of blue. I had them each carries white mini calla lillies and it looked great! Maybe you could do something like this with roses (I think they are a little cheaper) and the ribbon can match the dresses.



Another suggestion I have is to not have the lavender and light blue BM stand next to each other if it can be avoided. I remember shopping for the different shades of blue and lavender looked a lot like some blues. I think it would look better if you broke it up a little bit. :) Just my opinion.
Reply:Leann M is totally right, when I was reading, thats what totally came to mind for me. Hydranges come in light blues, greens, pinks, and purples. Not to menion white. You could have each bouquet match their dress, or have all the girls carry white ones and you could carry hygrangeas in all those colors, so its like an opposite effect. They are a very big flower, so 3 of them would make a plenty big bouquet for bridesmaids, and you could do 2 of each color to have a bigger one for you. You could maybe even tie in some white roses or something of that nature to give them a little contrast to the dresses. Hope it helps!

Reply:Use fake flowers. Hydrangeas sound like they would work great with your colors. :) Also consider corn flowers.



It sounds really pretty! Be sure to have a good time and don't stress too much! :)



Congratulations and good luck! :)
Reply:You could do pink roses with blue hydrangeas. Flowers are always expensive. Add white roses to your own bouquet of pink roses and blue hydrangeas. Thats what I am doing. Good luck.

Reply:Hydrangeas, Hydrangeas, Hydrangeas.... you can also use roses as they come in green, somewhat blue tones, lavender and pinks... I sell wholesale flowers for the do it yourselfer if you are interested. I am a florist, so please do not hestitate to ask any questions you may have.



Hydrangeas and roses are also very cost effective... you can mix them with the roses in all colors in your bouquet, and let the bridesmaids mix roses and hydrangeas in there color. I will try to find you a picture if you would like.
Reply:Silk comes in any color and is much cheaper than real.
Reply:Just do a bouquet of Baby Breaths I saw one on line yesterday and they did a beautilful bow where it ties. You could do the bows with each shade of the dress and yours could be with white roses and all 4 color shades ribbon. baby breaths are really in expensive and if you bunch them up it would look gorgeous.
Reply:I know you want to match, but I think white Calla Lillie's for everyone is wonderful...thats what I did. For the bridesmaids, one for each of them. There so big, one is perfect. There usually about $8 per flower, so it's not that bad for cost if your only getting one for each person. Tie a matching ribbon for each dress on the stem. It will be simple yet elegant. Then for yourself, just have about 5 Calla Lillie's tied with each of the bridesmaids colors.



For the parents, grandparents etc. it's so much cheaper to go with a white rose for the corsages. For the groomsmen, get a single miniature Calla Lilly.
Reply:i would go with creamy color flowers. the blue and green will blend in 2 much because of all the colors on the dress. The original plain color creamy will stand out great. But For your flower bouquet add a little color so you will stand out a lot more than the bridesmaids. Is is your day

and congrats on the big day
