Flower Question

BethBride1 · June 22, 2010

Hey girls, I'm still a bit lost with my flowers & my wedding is in 9 days!

So I wanted something really tropical for the bridesmaids & found a bouquet of ginger & bird of paradise that I love.....but it's really too much for my dress. So I was thinking of doing all white orchids for myself. ....but then there is no consistency between my flowers & the girls Are you allowed to do this Then what will the boutonnieres be?? Originally they were going to be bird of paradise. Now everyone will flow together but me. Are you allowed to do this?? Any ideas on how to tie us all together??

First of all, I say you can do anything you want to do, it is YOUR day! I personally like to tie things together a bit more. How about adding a few white orchids to the ginger & birds of paradise bouquets - just as accent flowers?? This would tie them to your orchid bouquet.
I love single orchids for boutonnieres - that is what I will be doing.
Just my thoughts!
