We're having an early spring wedding in 2010 and I'm trying to come up with ideas about the boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, fathers and a grandfather, and corsages for the mothers and grandmother. I have found what I am hoping will be my bouquet and its is a mixture of dark champagne tulips, Sahara roses which are a much lighter champagne, and white parrot tulips. I'm planning on my bridesmaids carrying bouquets of just the roses and white tulips. I'm wearing a champagne dress covered in ivory lace and the bridesmaids will be wearing dark blue (David's Bridal's marine). I have found a mixture of flowers that I would like to use for the reception centerpieces that have purple tulips with white edges, the Sahara roses and a type of white rose, and a mixture of lilac, lavender and white sweet pea and white freesia with deep purple anemones, so they are really just the whole spectrum of purple with champagne and white (I would post the pics, but don't know how). The dark blue will be elsewhere during the reception in the chair sashes and the linens for the couple's table, the buffet table and the cake table. Its in the spring so I want color, and I think the purple is a nice compliment to the dark blue dresses and accents instead of trying to find dark blue flowers to match.I have been thinking about what to do for my fiance's boutonniere and his party's, as well as the flowers for our parents and my grandparents. I am thinking about using calla lilies as the boutonnieres for the guys and tulips for the parents and grandparents. The groom would wear an ivory lily with some grass loops, and the groomsmen would wear purple lilies. There are no lilies anywhere else in the wedding, but I'm more concerned about there not being purple in the ceremony. Would this be okay? I want to set the groom's and groomsmen's flowers apart without complicating the simplicity of the lily (which is what drew me into them in the first place) so I figured just make them different colors. I was planning on the groomsmen wearing the dark blue vests and ties to match the bridesmaids, but now I'm seriously considering black vests and ties and still have the groom wearing the coordinating ivory vest and tie. Sorry for the long post, but any suggestions? Would this be tacky?
