So, I'm meeting with a couple of florists in the next week or so and while I know they will help figure out what works with what, I thought I'd post on here first. I'm also considering going the DIY route with these, and even though one of my bridesmaids used to work as a florist, I'm still apprehensive.
I'm doing mostly all orange flowers with the exception of throwing some white into my bouquet and maybe the parents and flower girls. My other color is gray, charcoal gray (medium charcoal) bridesmaid dresses and gray tuxes. I love the idea of orange garden roses mixed with orange (light and dark) dahlias, zinnias and some peach colored hypericum. I love texture. For my bouquet, I'd love to throw in some white scabiosa flowers and/or white anemone ( I really like the dark centers to tie in some gray).
THAT or I'd do all one type of flower for the bridesmaids like all dahlias, which I've found pictures of and think is really pretty too.
In my head the idea is great, but I have googled and googled and googled and can't find just what I'm looking for.
What do you all think?
