Flower colors

jnc1904

I am having a wedding that is blue, brown, and ivory. I don't want to use those colors exactly when doing my flowers except maybe the ivory. Anyone have any ideas on flower colors or flower types? Thanks!

Hydrangeas have all those colors  to some degree. Or, you  could just do ivory.

Check around on some floral websites  like growersbox.com or fiftyflowers.com or costco.com for ideas of colors.

Good luck.

Yeha, it's kind of hard to find blue or brown flowers, but have you considered using bright or contrasting color?  Like coral, orange, bright green, or hot pink?  Or a combination with some ivory mixed in? 

Or if you want pastel or muted tones, maybe a very soft blush color, kind of a soft peachy/pink?

Or like the previous poster suggested, check out colors of hydrangeas.  There is one that is kind of a pinkish/ light brownish color, and blue ones.

I'm in the same color boat as you, except I'm doing white instead of ivory but it's close enough.

The ivory flowers are going to be the easiest to find so if you can I'd try to lean towards using them. If you're looking to keep within a budget try carnations, peonies, roses or hydrangeas but you can also get ivory/white flowers in orchids, ranunculus, sweetpeas, lilly of the valley... yeah there are a lot of them.

For blue flowers the cheapest will be hydrangeas but you can also find blue flowers with delphinium, some irises, and grape hyacinth just to name a few. If you've got a creative florist you could ask them to dye some carnations or roses blue, but that might be a stretch for a few of them. If you don't want blue flowers you could also try feathers or blue colored bouquet jewels.

I don't know of any brown flowers, but you could try wheat stalks (which are more tan) for your bouquet or coffee beans for your centerpieces.
