I am getting married July 1, 2006 in an outdoor garden wedding on beautifully landscaped grounds. I want an armheld bouquet in pinks, chocolate brown and sage green. My 2 attendents will wear sage green and have the same color combo in their bouquets, same colors for table centerpieces and cake flowers. Haven't seen this combination anywhere online to get some ideas. Can anyone help?
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO USE SILK FLOWERS. NONE OF THE COLORS THAT YOU MENTIONED ARE HARD TO FIND. I HAVE DONE SILK FLORAL'S FOR ABOUT 150 WEDDINGS, INCLUDING MY OWN 4 YEARS AGO. MY ATTENDANTS ALSO HAD ARM BOQUETS. MY CENTERPIECE FOR THE HEAD TABLE WAS ABOUT 40 INCHES WIDE, WITH 5 CANDLES IN THE CENTER. I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND YOU PICTURES TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA. MY CENTERPIECES FOR THE OTHER DINNER TABLES WERE ALL DONE ON 12X12 BEVELLED MIRRORS. I DECORATED EACH ONE DIFFERENTLY BUT STILL USED ALL THE SAME COLORS. I HAD A DEEP CORAL, CREME AND BLACK. MY ACCENT WAS GOLD TRIM TO EVERYTHING. IT WAS VERY ELEGANT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DO YOUR FLOWERS FOR YOU PLEASE CONTACT ME. AND, ,,,EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT IDEAS, I''LL SUPPLY THOSE FOR YOU ALSO. I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS DAY IS FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK, YOU WILL LOOK STUNNING.

Sandy; I actually really want to use fresh flowers. The spot we are getting married is under a pergola outdoors on lovely landscaped grounds with alot of Nature at its finest surrounding us; wildflowers, small creeks, a pond with fountain, walkways thru gardens: there is just SO much Nature there it would not make sense to have artificial flowers. And we don't want any candles incorporated into the centerpieces because our ceremony is at 3:30 in the afternoon July 1st. It will still be daylight even when dinner and everything is all over. I'm trying to stick to those colors , Earthtones, by maybe finding small brown clay pots and planting fresh flowers in them, tying gorgeous gingham ribbons around them and then placing say 8 or 10 in the center of my tables for the centerpiece, but after the reception each guest gets to take one home so they become the favor too.

Yes, I am interested in finding out more about fresh flowers available in those colors, esp. The chocolate brown. I suppose just the tips or insides could be chocolate brown. I like different orchids, calla lillies. Some deeper mauve with the pinks and sage green will be good. My gown is long sleeved (almost all illusion lace) and the color is Antique which is a pale mauve with Ivory lace over it. Definitely an arm held bouquet. Thank you.
I am doing the same color combo for my flowers..although my girls dresses are brown. My bouquet(bride) will be white/cream hydrangeas and vendeal roses with chocolate cosmos around the rim. BM will have a combo of green hydrangea, pink garden roses, and anemones with brown centers.
I too am using the sage green and chocolate brown for my wedding in October. I am going to have a brown bridesmaid dresses with a green bouquet and i am going to incorporate curly willow into the bouquet for the brown. Just an idea. Best wishes!
