I need help!  I am having the hardest time trying to find beautiful flowers for my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets/groomsmen bouts. My bridal party is wearing "blue velvet" long dresses from David's Bridal. I attached pictures of the actual dress (in red), but the color will be that blue. I am wearing an offwhite strapless dress. My colors are black/white damask runners for the reception over black table cloths with silver candelabra centerpieces.  Any ideas?  I was thinking something with lime green orchids....any ideas would be great!

    I see that you have an October/Fall wedding, so you could do some vivid fall colors or jewel tones for the ceremony/WP flowers.  They will really pop against the vivid blue if you want that "wow!" effect.

    The ceremony and reception colors/theme don't have to match, but because of the black and white with silver accents going on at the reception, I think I'd keep the flower colors simple. 

    The green you suggested would be simple, and pretty with either the blue, or the black and white at the reception.  I would probably personally go with all white flowers for simplicity.  Or you might could combine the white flowers, with just a touch of the green orchids for interest.

    My colors are a dark red.  I am thinking of pink flowers with white baby breath.  I am not sure if a touch of yellow would be a good idea.  Any suggestions?  My wedding will outdoors in the summer....  Thanks.

    My bridesmaids are wearing the same color. Our flowers will be ivory and green roses with white peruvian lilies and green hypernicum berries.

    @spim- yes, i like the green hypericum berries. I was thinking white roses, white lisianthus, eucalyptus and green hypericum, with lime green orchids maybe? 

    @calalily- ooo lavendar could be really pretty! i haven't thought about that. any ideas for a beautiful lavendar?

    @kristy- i love deep red. I dont know how i like it with pink flowers though, especially during summer. Something about it seems too valentine's day-ish. Definitly no blue because then it's too patriotic. I always like the look where the bride holds flowers that are the bridesmaid color (so a bouquet of red roses or something), then the bridesmaids hold bouquets like the brides dress (so beautiful white flowers).  If that is too simple for you, i think a pale yellow would definitly be really pretty- gerber daisies are cute summer flowers. let me look at some ideas...
