July 2012 Weddings

What color is your bouquet??

I'm a little discouraged..... my wedding is a "package" type thing the Bed and Breakfast we're renting for the weekend - 2 bouquets and a bout are included.  When we first went there to talk about what we wanted - they seemed very accomodating and they said if I wanted specific colors/flowers - whatever just send them pictures via snail mail since they aren't very tech saavy and it would be fine. (edit: I DID SNAIL MAIL THEM PICTURES!!)   Today I had e-mailed to confirm check in times and I asked if the specifics on flowers had been nailed down yet and I got a response that an "off'-white" bouquet is part of the package and if I wanted something else i'd need to work directly with the florist..... I'm okay with that - but to me that spells more money... I've already shelled out additional money to keep the photographer longer....... do orange roses really cost more white ones?   To me - and this is maybe just me - a white bouquet with white/ivory dress doesn't really stand out....... I really really want orange - it'll be an awesome pop of color and I also included orange in FI's custom shoes.... I'm feeling overwhelmed and broke.    Is white super normal and I'm just strange??

  • Mine is purple, pink, and blue with splashes of ivory and green in there. I didn't want the traditional look of all white flowers.

    Mine are off-white roses, with a few apricot and lavender roses mixed in. I didn't get the impression that it would cost more to have color added.

    I'm so sorry you're finding out about this now! But before starting to worry too much, I'd ask first. All I know is that price depends on the specific flower species (??) not just the color. I mean there's many different orange roses and price varies depending on which species are available or asked for. So go and find out first! I'm totally with you, IMO all white bouquets blend in.

    And if it turns out to be too expensive, could you maybe mix white and orange for your bouquet?

  • Mine will be blue, white and purple hydrangea with white roses. Can't wait to see it!

  • Mine is red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple. So a lot of colors. I say go with colors since your dress will already be white/ivory, right?

  • I think working directly with the florist basically just means that you communicate with the florist instead of the venue doing it for you. You're cutting the middle man, basically. I don't think this should cost you extra.  As for the color, orange probably would be slightly more but the florist might be willing to work with you. 

    The colors of my wedding are very muted so I am going with ivory/white/pale pink bouquet.
