My wedding colors are black and blue, but I'm havign trouble finding flowers?

I'm having a "boxing" theme wedding, so I have chosen the colors black and blue. I will be dressed as one of those ring girls, and the notary officiating the ceremony will be the ref, my groom will of course wear a boxing robe and shorts! The groomsmen will all have fake black eyes, but I can't find the right kind of flowers... I want the bouquets to be all taped up, just like boxing gloves, but the florist won't do that and says she can't find black flowers... what do I do? Are there any black flower varieties, or should I use fake flowers and make my own arrangements?

use red like boxing gloves.
Reply:Use white flowers and put them in a bowl with food coloring 2 get it 2 the exact colors u want them. cheap, but it works!
Reply:if that it really the concept that you want for your wedding ....well, it's just your choice...that's your wedding...you are exactly correct that we cant find flowers colored black...so all you just need to do is to make use of fake flowers and make your own arrangements
Reply:do you like carnations? they are the easiest flower to dye. purchased white ones, and using food coloring mixed with water, let the canations stand in the water-stems in water- until you see the white turn colors. the longer they sit the darker they'll get.
Reply:I really hope this is a joke. I can't imagine someone actually getting married in this fashion, but to each his/her own.





Use the fake flowers. They last longer and hold up better and you can get any color you want.
Reply:you could use white roses and have your florist put black tips on them, they tip them in back and only the very ends are black.





There are many varieties of Lillies, Gerbers, snapdragons,Clematis that work well.
Reply:u can dye flowers.
Reply:There are such things as black roses, but they are very expensive. Go with the fake flower arrangement. Use black and light blue. That will bring the boxing theme all together!
Reply:Talk to more florist for ideas.
Reply:I would just stick with blue flowers. Unless you spray paint baby's breath black.
Reply:Use fake flowers, florist have to spray paint real flowers and won't do that because they think there reputation will look bad. You could always do this yourself.


By the way I think that sounds like a fun wedding, have fun planning it!
Reply:make your own arrangements. those were my colors for my wedding. find a florist who can do a deep blue flower. i went to the grocery store that had a florist and had mine done. congrats...
Reply:this is a joke, there is no way this is for real, I can't see it myself, it sounds really silly, it is making a mockery of the dignity of the occasion.
Reply:Use fake flowers. Besides, they won't wilt during the wedding. Real ones will.
Reply:fake flowers and arrange them yourself.





i made mine and i still have them around the house.
Reply:I'm sorry, but that sounds awful. I got married last year and had a very traditional and beautiful Greek Orthodox wedding - and the thought of you having a "boxing" theme just makes me sad. I hope that is really want you want, and it's not some funny wedding idea your fiancee came up with. Even the florist doesn't want to work with you. Reconsider traditional - it will be fantastic and you will have an easier time making choices on flowers and so forth.
Reply:Paint the flowers !!!
Reply:y not use those blood red roses kinda like a play on the whole boxing theme?
Reply:just use the fake flowers or don't use any at all.
Reply:i am having trouble to but i have talk to florist and if you take a white rose and they will color the flower and color you want
