So I know absolutly nothing about flowers. My colors are green and black. I want my flowers to be mostly green with a little white and the BM flowers to be mostly white with a little green. I really dont want to spend a fortune...I kinda wanted orchids but recently found out they are a little expensive...does anyone have any ideas for me???

    Hydrangeas. 

    Roses and carnations come in all colors too.

    I'm using green hydrageas in my girls bouquets and centerpieces. As PP said, roses also come in green, and I know there are also other flowers available in green too - just ask your florist and they can give you some ideas/show you some pics.

    Cymbidium orchids!! Yummy! Per stem they are a little pricey, but if it's just for your bouquet and if you use just a couple you could fill the rest in with white snapdragons or hydrangeas. 

    And you can always fill in a bouquet with white flowers with plenty of green foliage, berries, etc.

    OOooo...what are the flowers in the second picture posted?  My colors are the same and I was thinking about flowers and how to make them look good without going overboard on green.  And i think those second flowers are perfect!

      Hydrangeas can be expensive, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. They are large and you don't need a lot to fill up a vase. As well, you could try kermit mums, fugi mums, full sized roses, spray roses, carnations and mini carnations, Bells of Ireland, anthurium. You can also add green with interesting foliage like dracaena, euphorbia, bupleurum, ferns, etc. You can also add use limes and green apples in your arrangements.

    Those second flowers are hydrangeas.  The only thing about hydrangeas is that they tend to wilt unless you soak the bouquets periodically throughout the night.

    This was taken at a friends wedding so I'm sorry, I don't know the names of the flower/leaves but it's a cool idea!

    I used green orchids in my wedding. They were gorgeous!!  I got them from AFLORAL.COM.  They were incredibly reasonable. My bouquet of Green Orchids and White Lilies cost about $20.  I used the "real touch" (latex) flowers and they were amazing!

    The above are all good listings.  You might also want to consider green calla lillies.  They come in different sizes and variations of green and green/white.

    Costco has nice Spider Chrysanthemums that come in green.
    My bridesmaids have black dresses, I would like white roses and the green Chrysanthemums.  They were $80 for 80 stems.
