flower help! wedding colours are teal and chocolate brown

salsa_bride · 07-07-2007, 09:17 PM

Hello... I'm having a hard time thinking what flowers will look good for my wedding. Our colours are teal/aqua and chocolate browh. I'll be wearing a white dress with a teal (tiffany blue)sash. My bridesmaids will be wearing tea-lenth cream-coloured lace strapless dress with chocolate brown sashes.... (maid of honor though will be wearing teal sash as well as the flower girls). the groomsmen will be in linen suits. What colour / type of flowers would look good for our bouquets and the mens' lapels? is there a turquoise flower out there (and that is available in cancun in may??) We don't really want to stray off of our wedding colours.. so I'm thinking maybe stick to a white/cream bouquet and accent with teal? Any advice would be appreciated... thanks!!

I think Teal flowers are going to be pretty hard to find.

But you may want to find a teal vase or Vases and have white flowers?

You could also use teal colored glass in a clear vase?

You might be able to get some Gerberas Daisies sprayed a teal color.

What about doing a secondary color like fuschia or pink? If you are not into this then I would suggest doing an all white bouquet and then adding a teal sash to the bouquet. This will make the teal color stand out. Have everything in white and then have everything else in teal. It will make the color stick out.

I agree with Glenda's suggestion. However I think if you add a 3rd color it could really "pop"...

Such as this... (Jill I hope its ok that I'm posting a link to your webpage) It's of a wedding done in your colors but with accents of orange. Looks amazing..

I think you could stick with all white or cream, or you could add a little mango/orange in there which would look awesome I think. I know you said you didn't want to stray from blue/brown but I really think that would look amazing.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - I like the all white/cream bouquet with the teal ribbon... however I will pass the idea onto my fiance about another accent colour

He is after all the one that wanted the teal and chocolate brown.

I would also take a look at the Angels Accents website. Even if you are doing real flowers, she's got some beautiful designs in her galleries that gave me plenty of ideas. ANGEL'S ACCENTS - Divine Creations

Here's a link to the page where she has brown and teal bouquets. There are other options with her browns. Check it out. Maybe there is something you'll like without having to add the 'accent' color.
