Peonies are definitely pretty and feminine. Maybe pairing them with blue hydrangeas. I also love white petite calla lilies.

I think ‘delicate’ is the keyword here. Something vine-y and trailing would work beautifully in this style, such as sweet peas and delphiniums. France and the ‘fleur de lis’ come to mind too. Why not some Irises? One per bridesmaid?

I may be way off base, but I immediately thought of France. The blue and ivory, the fleur di lis – like flourishes on the cake, the sweet girly touches everywhere. I could see using Magnolias and going a New Orleans route. Or wildflowers of Provence. Just trying to think outside the box : )
hope that inspires.

I think peonies are perfect but they can be a bit pricey. Ranunculas (sp?) are a great alternative to roses and they are very romantic. I could also see anemones (they can look very dramatic while still being soft) and dalhias too. Dalhias can be great because they have so many petals and even look a bit lacy. They are also big so they can take up a lot of space for just one flower.

I see your bouquet with an assortment of Gardenias and touches of sweetpeas, light pink ribbon with a vintage brooch of your guy’s picture. On the tables, go for different, try centerpieces of mixes of camellias, delphinium, & stephatotis. They would look beautiful…then maybe in the vases, pink lights for the effect. Everything always needs a pop of color, think light pink would be beautiful for you.

I said “I Do” on April 5, 2008 in Charleston, SC. When it comes to flower selection and availability, April is the perfect time of year! There are only two things that you have to worry about…

1) Your budget (ie – roses vs peonies)
2) The climate of your location (ie – a hot/humid location might ruin delicate flowers like tulips or peonies and vice versa)

But here are a few of my favorites

White &/or Ivory – Rose, Casablanca Lily, Allium, Bouvardia, Calla Lily, Phalaenopsis Orchid, Ranunculus, Star of Bethlehem, Stephanotis, Tulip, Lisianthus, Peonies

Blue – Delphinium, Hydrangea, Sweet Pea, Hyacinth, Iris, Lavender, Blue Forget-Me-Nots, Bluebonnets, Bachelor Button

Green – Cockscomb, Fuji Mum, Hydrangea, Viburnum, Queen Anne’s Lace, Hanging Amaranthus, Jade Rose, Bells of Ireland, Hypericum Berry, Cymbidium Orchid

Brown – Monkey Tail, Curly Willow, Rose, Chocolate Cosmos

Best Wishes!!!

I agree – hydrangeas would be beautiful. I used blue hydrangeas in my bouquet. My hair-do was similiar to that picture – I absolutely loved it! I used fresh freesias in my hair.
