If you plant flowers to attract hummingbirds, what kind do you plant and how soon do you plant them?
Good choices. They like bright flowers... especially red, ...but they also like purple, white, orange, pink and blue. They like flowers with trumpet, tubular shapes.
http://birding.about.com/cs/birdshumming...
These are the 10 flowers most used to attract hummingbirds:
Bee Balm
Red Columbine
Delphinium and Hollyhock
Butterfly Bush
Catawba Rhododendron
Rose of Sharon
Trumpet Vine and Trumpet Honeysuckle
Cardinal Vine
Lantana and Fuchsia
Silk Tree
http://landscaping.about.com/cs/forthebi...
Here's a whole page of the hummingbirds favorite flowers, shrubs %26amp; trees, vines %26amp; bulbs; Hummingbirds are attracted to flower colors and nectar, not fragrance:
http://www.thegardenhelper.com/hummingbi...
Aside from the colorful nectar filled flowers, make certain that there is always fresh water available for drinking as well as for bathing. They need sunnny areas and they especially need shady areas to perch as well as to build their nests.
Willows and Eucalyptus trees provide nesting materials along with bits of leaves, spider webs, moss, and lichens to build their tiny nests.
Good Luck! Hope this helps.
Reply:Rose of Sharon is also an excellent choice.
Reply:Red Beebalm is what the hummingbirds really go for in my flower bed. I get some really great viewing as they will feed for a long time. These are by far their favourites and I have many of the same plants you do.
I'm in western Canada and I never plant anything until the end of May or beginning of June when the likelihood of snow is gone. We'd had snow in May and June before and I've lost some plants that way. I sometimes start plants from seeds and usually do that sometime in April indoors and then transplant later.
Reply:I plant salvia, red salvia, they love it, also honney suckle
Reply:Harold the humming birds are attracted to my Night Blooming Jasmine!! I was amazed to see the dozens and dozens of them surrounding the plant. I took a branch from the plant with several flowers on it, held it out to them, and they came right up to it in my hand. it was so great to see. Take care- Jen
Reply:The hummingbirds go crazy for the monarda in my garden but i agree with the other answers that red flowers of most kind of flowers draw them but i also think a feeder helps keep them around also. Hope this helps.
Reply:hummingbirds like bright pink or red flowers. just plant something big and pink. :]

What Do I Wear With A Floral RaRa Skirt ?
I recently bought 2 floral rara skirts from matalan. They both have black backgrounds, but one has blue flowers and the other has purple and pink flowers. What do I wear with either of them, - shoes? tops ? cardigans ? jewellery ?
What Do I Wear With A Floral RaRa Skirt ?
if you are wearing them out wear a plain top in the colour of the flowers, black tights to match the black in the skirt and patent black shoes will look good.
If you want to wear a cardigan i recommend wearing a white tank top and a cardigan in the colour of the flowers.
if it is for a daytime look wear without the tights and with coloured dolly shoes/ballet pumps to match the flowers.
Hope i've helped
xXx
Reply:i would buy some tops that are the same colour as the flowers on the skirts and if possible try to find some shoes that colour too. if not then black flipflops with the straw bottoms would be perfect. if it is a cool day and want to warm your shoulders there is a great little black cardigan in newlook at £10 (i think) that would look fab. as for accessories i think the best would be bouncy/curly hair as it makes the outfit and would go amazingly with the bounce of the skirt. hope this has helped :)
Reply:A simple black or white vest top, some nice wedges or courts, maybe a flower accessorie in your hair and a big chunky bracelet.
Reply:You should try to wear a solid color that matches the flowers along with matching shoes. As for jewelery you should either go with pearls or some silver jewelry maybe a necklace. Hope this helps!
Reply:a white or a black vest top
long wooden necklaces
dollyshoes or flip flops maybe

What are some symbols of romanticism?
I am not talking about romance, I am asking for symbols of romanticism...I have already found the blue flower, and I was wondering if there is anymore, I am having a hard time finding some.
What are some symbols of romanticism?
In painting intense battle scenes or big crowds, with faces full of emotion, in landscape painting breathtaking panoramas, big mountains, cliffs that give you a sense of the infinite.
Also graveyards, lonely figures with their backs to us, isolated places, mist etc. Romantic painters also liked to use chiaroscuro (light vs darkness).
One of the most famous romantic painters was Fransisco Goya. If you type his name in google images, you'll see some of his paintings.

What flowers (or colors of flowers) would look nice at a wedding with these colors schemes?
Options for Possible Wedding Colors:
1. Lots of different shades of Blue, White?
2. Turquoise, Aqua, Coral, White, Tan (Beach)?
3. Blue, Pink, Orange, Yellow, White (Sunset)?
Thanks for the help!
What flowers (or colors of flowers) would look nice at a wedding with these colors schemes?
1) Choose several of the following: blue delphinium, white larkspur, white lilies, white daisies, white asters, blue iris, white alstromeria, blue Belladonna, white statice
2) Choose several of the following: Peach gerberas, pastel snapdragons, blue carnations, pastel alstromeria, and some of the white flowers mentioned above
3) Choose several of the following: Pink, orange and yellow alstromeria, orange and yellow lilies, orange gladioli, orange and pink gerberas, yellow larkspur. (I would leave the blue out of the sunset colors.)
To see what these flowers look like you can go to: http://www.virtualflorist.com and type in the name of the flower to see it in a bouquet with other flowers. I had blue delphinium, pink alstromeria and a white star shaped flower that I can't remember the name of in my bouquet. I love alstromeria (alternate spelling alstroemeria). It comes in many different colors, is not very expensive and the blooms last a long time.
Good luck!
Reply:In my opinion i like #2.
Reply:1)Blue violets and baby's breath
2) Use lilies! These flowers are usually a blend of vibrant yet soft colors....like soft lavendar flowing into hot pink. You can find them in a variety of exotic colors, and the flowers just have a 'beach' look that'd go well.
3) Go with tulips!! You can get them in all of these colors listed....they are beautiful flowers, and with this bright arrangement...it'd be gorgeous.
Reply:It's all relative to the season you would be getting married during.
1. I think the prettiest flowers here would be white roses with yellow accent flowers or if getting married during the summer, even decorating with sunflowers (they come in a "baby" size too that would be cute for butonniers).
2. It sounds a little too busy, you should just get married at the beach and use the natural splendor there . . .
3. Would be cute, because you could have each bridesmaid where a different color in the same dress which could be really fun and different. As far as flowers go, maybe orchids or something tropical?
I personally think the first one would be the easiest because you could make it a provencial (think France) theme and have sunflowers and lavender (which smell divine) and big beautiful white roses or hydrangeas in the pale bluish-purple and cream . . . it would leave you with more options all together.

Reference to a blue chrysanthemum in Virginia Woolf's 'The Waves'?
Have you read The Waves? If so you'll know about the flowers symbolism.
I'm trying to write an essay on this book (among others) and I remember reading a passage where she uses a blue chrysanthemum, but now I can't find it. I'm I just imagining her use of this flower? If you remember it too, do you happen to know roughly where in the book it was? Thanks

Why are flowers and plants different colours?
And how are they different colours? I've got a rose in my garden (I've got a few actually), it's a pinky colour, but it should be blue, any idea how I can get it to be blue?
Thank you for answering. :)
Why are flowers and plants different colours?
Many flowers have developed colors to attract beneficial insect or birds to their pollen and polinize other flowers, some colors are to warn or to make predators get away or at least make them thing. Know it have been seen in UV cameras , that many yellows color in flower are captured in UV so birds and insect can see them also!..In green plants the variation depends in the chlorophyll (green pigment) how much sun light they receive also, the soil conditions and some parts of the leaf lack chlorophyll and other have another pigments that give them this red or purpish color.
Now, they are many variation because man has modified plant genetically also.
About your Rose, have it give blue color before? If not check very well if you have the right one. And is your rose fully grown?
Reply:I am not a gardening expert but i think it has something to do with the acidity or the alkalinity of the soil. Ask a garden centre or go to B%26amp;Q and ask their garden department what the PH of the soil should be and what you can add to get it correct.
Reply:As flowers attract bees for a purpose of pollination, they do this beautifully. They seem to know how to charm and entice nature for a purpose. They know exactly what colours to show off and what patterns to assume to be noticed and appreciated in this grand masquerade of nature where all purposes are concealed behind ever so more luring shapes and forms. If just by being purposeful flowers look beautiful then we should understand that nature appreciates beauty, as we know it. And if nature appreciates beauty then nature is beautiful.
What we see in flowers is essentially what flowers see in nature – condensed beauty and purposefully expressed. If the beauty of nature is in the honesty of its purpose then flowers reflect this perfectly well like a mirror. It is true that it is free for us to see and enjoy but it is not vain or without its purpose. We see all this but we are not able to locate a single intelligent mind either in flower bearing plants or anywhere else in nature, and yet all this happens. Where is then the mind that makes this all happen?
And then we notice all flowers are not the same. The delicate tapestry of fauna and flora stretched on the bosom of this earth is not lacking in its range or variety. There are flowers of all sorts. There are trees of all sizes. And there are bees and insects of all kinds that depend on flowers, and birds of huge variety that dwell on trees.
I can say that flowers are somewhat like us. They may have similar purposes but their needs are specific. Some like to blossom in the morning – like Morning Glory; some like to constantly look towards the Sun – like Sunflower; and some simply would not live without banks of lacks and rivers – like Water Lilly. Some like to grow in hills while others prefer to blossom in the mellowness of temperate vales. They need to have insect companions who are happy in these conditions. They express their needs in terms of their coloration and specific shape and formation of their petals. In general what they look like is a beautiful or an agreement between their specific needs and their environment. You can for example have red roses, and then you can have crimson, white and pink. This is sweet and true. But if you live in water and want your roses in blue then make sure you have bees that swim, and are also madly in blue.
Reply:Because we can see different colours and it would be boring if all of them were the same.
Reply:To attrack different insects and that way be able to reproduce and expand.
I know that you can change the colour of some flowers by adding products(that usually are sold in garden centers) in the water or in the soil. I know that is better if the flower is white, I don't know how well it would work with pink.
(You can always try to spray them with food colouring :-P)
Reply:So their mom can tell them apart!

Reply:Looks like stephanotis. Any florist should be able to get them. Show the bouquet to your florist, they should be able to recreate it if that's really what you want.
Reply:I believe that's a stephanoitis, dyed blue with pearl pins poked through. They are normally white.
Reply:They are forget me nots. You can get fake ones at the craft store. I have never seen them fresh...perhaps call a florist to see if they can get them for you.
EDIT: actually, I think the answerer below me is correct. They must be sprayed blue. forget me nots are smaller and have broader petals.
Reply:Its called stephanotis and they are real flowers. Usually white. They can be dyed to match whatever your wedding colors are though. I saw a show the other day where a girl had her hair done up and on the back of her head right below all the curls she had several of these flowers pinned in her hair and it looked SO cute.
Reply:Oh that's beautiful! I wish I knew! Maybe you can contact the owners and ask about the photo that you referenced. They would probably be able to help you more! Good luck!

Is it ok for me to start planting flowers?
If you soil is workable, and you don't live in Alaska, there are loads of spring flowering plants and bulbs you can put in, including flowering shrubs, roses etc. Just nip along to your local garden centre and you will be amazed on the variety of plants that are waiting to transform your garden into a spring wonderland. So get off your winter butt, get down to magic land, don't forget your wallet, and have a browse. My missus has banned me from such places, I can't resist the goodies.
Just two things to remember, the soil must not be too sticky and do not plant if severe weather is forecast. there is still time for this, though the harbingers of spring are already with us.

I live in Puerto Rico and I need to known which is the proper care of a planta named Isabel Segunda?
This plant produce blue flowers.
I live in Puerto Rico and I need to known which is the proper care of a planta named Isabel Segunda?
You will find that Isabel Segunda is called Plumbago in English.
I had a lot of success with this plant in Puerto Rico- I had lots of it planted in front of my front porch (balcon) and it got some sun but mostly shade. In my experience it did well because it rains so much in PR. But here in Texas I found that I cannot keep them alive in containers- they like the soil, I guess. Just do a search on "Plumbago" to see what gardening websites say. It is a beautiful plant! Good luck.

How does salt affect the coloring of flowers?
So, there's 2 carnations and one of them is in a vase with water and blue food coloring. The other one was in a vase with water, blue food coloring, and salt. After 60 hours, the one with salt in it had less color than the other one. Why is that?
How does salt affect the coloring of flowers?
Think "osmotic pressure"
Reply:salt bleaches.and in this case it washed away the color.

Name of deciduous, oval leafed shrub, clusters of dark pink, waxy, 1" stellar flower, blue sphere in center
what is the name of a deciduous, tropical or semi-tropical, oval leafed shrub that produces panicles of deep pink (fuchsia colored), waxy /succulent looking stellar ( pointed star shaped)shaped flowers, around one inch diameter, with a blue, spherical/ berry-like in the center of each flower? Can provide photo to post somewhere if needed for identification. Saw this plant in temperate-semi tropical area in N. Italy and told it was not native, a sub-tropical plant.

If you can provide a photo that would help sooo much. Use flickr, it's free and you can provide the link here. I'm sure you'll have your answer in no time. ;)

ARe Sweat Pea flowers--do they grow on a vine?
and would they grow easily up on a fence and produce a lot of flowering?
Just bought 'em and would like it to be a nice background,ect
hopefully in much abundance as well :-)
the kind I got are blue
ARe Sweat Pea flowers--do they grow on a vine?
yes, they are a flower producing vine that needs a trellis or something to grow on. they do produce an abundance of flowers and come in all colors. they do better in milder climates, i hear they don't like it too hot. i live in southern louisiana and i can't grow them here. good luck with the. hope this was helpful.
Reply:yes they are a vine and they flower very nicely. I think they would look splendid on a fence or a trellis. have and enjoy the look and fragrance they produce.
Reply:Yes, they would grow nicely on a fence as long as they have something to cling to. If well watered and in not too hot a climate, they will flower nicely and oooooh, the fragrance! One suggestion, soak the seeds over night before planting and they will germinate much quicker. Love 'em!
Reply:Sweet Peas are a flowering vine that like to climb. They would grow well along a fence, I would add a transparent trellis netting along the fence line to give them a bit more to grab onto. You can attach it to the fence with zipties or staples. This is the product I bought for my sweat peas:

I need help identifying a rock from the Mimbres, New Mexico area. See details for description.?
I found a rock in the Mimbres River, New Mexico area yesterday that my rock hound friends and I can't identify. It is rough, hard, and has caramel and silver-blue "flowers" throughout. It reminds me of fossilized coral, though coral does not exist in the area. The area has igneous rocks, mostly. I have photos of the stone, slab, and a rapidly finished cabachon on our Flickr site in public photos. Thank you for your help in identifying this stone.

Does anyone know how much these flowers cost at a flower shop?
I was just wondering if anyone would could help me out by telling me how much these flowers cost: Blue Bells %26amp; Forget Me Nots. I've looked but all that come up on the internet is seeds. It would be of great help. Thanx very much.
Does anyone know how much these flowers cost at a flower shop?
I agree, call a florist. Don't be shy, they are use to people calling and asking about prices.
I will tell you this, florist are expensive.
Reply:You're probably having trouble finding them because they are out of season. Call a florist in your area and ask what they usually charge.

When you are feeling blue what is the one thing that will pick you up again? song,hug, flowers,going outside?
My friends kids. They always put a smile on my face. Espeacially the month old little girl. It is so easy to get her to smile and she is so easy to take care of. It never fails I'm in a better mood when around them.
When you are feeling blue what is the one thing that will pick you up again? song,hug, flowers,going outside?
For me, singing. Somehow no matter how bad I'm feeling, if I begin singing I feel better.

Deserving design episode new guest guest room?
Vern Yip purchased two paintings of blue flowers and a dragon fly, he said that they were by a local artist. They seemed to be painted on a piece of wood or on a canvas board. I was wondering where can I purchase those same paintings. In the episode Vern visited the atlanta botanical garden and a very modern store. Thanks

What should I wear to the symphony?
I'm going with a friend to the symphony next Saturday night. I don't know a thing about it except that it's in Denver. What should I wear? I have a dress that I've worn to a couple of dances. It has a black lining that comes a few inches above my knees, and over that the whole dress has a sheer black layer that comes down to my shins. The bottom hem is trimmed with a light blue ribbon and there are light blue flowers adn rhinestones sewn on from the hip across to mid thigh. It has spaghetti straps and isn't too low cut. I'm sorry if I spent too much time describing it, but I want to be sure it's acceptable, because I can't afford to go out and buy a new dress. If I wear this one, how should I accesorize, makeup, etc?
What should I wear to the symphony?
symphony=classy
a plain black dress might work a lil better but this sounds fine
just keep the accesories to a minimun and make up lik you usually do for a night out...with the parents
look sophistaced yet still like youreslf ...the dress sounds great
Reply:Maybe wear a pair of tights or hose black or tan will work for this kind of outfit, go with high heels, and do what the one girl said go light on the makeup, but just enough people can tell you are wearing it, you do not want to look like a trashy person. good luck and hope all goes well.
Reply:The dress sounds fine and elegant. Try small jewelry it's classic.
Reply:It sounds appropriate. I'm assuming it's not super flashy or shiny. If it has spaghetti straps, you might want to bring some kind of jacket or wrap to wear over it, just in case everyone around you is dressed more conservative than that. Just don't go in a bright orange summer dress. ;)
Reply:http://www2.oprah.com/index.jhtml
Reply:The dress sounds beautiful -- but just to err on the conservative side, take a black shawl or wrap to cover your shoulders just while walking outside. (You can remove it as soon as your coats are taken or you are ushered inside.)
Since the dress is (seemingly) intricate in its detail, I would let THAT be the main focus, and accessorize sparingly. Light blue, sterling silver, or black jewelry. (No chin-length chandelier earrings or chunky necklaces.) Feel free to add a couple bracelets and rings, though.
I'm no expert on make-up, however -- I would go dark on the eye shadow and liner, leave the lips a somewhat natural color, and go easy on the blush. Foundation and cover-up is a must, and use powders (before you put on your dress!) in case the theatre is warm. You don't want to look oily or sweaty. You're going for classy, elegant. Less is more. Again, let the dress and your eyes be the focus tonight.
Good luck, and I hope you enjoy the performance!
;)
Reply:Wear something that is comfortable. Going to a Symphony Concert is really not the time to get overdressed. Wear something that is simple, and that you feel comfortable with. Remember, that you are going to be sitting for quite a a long time. Go and listen to great music ,and enjoy.

Why not lay them across your bed in different combinations to see how they go together?
Or try a few combos on, and then look in a mirror.

In what way is blue hour considered considered especially flattering for people with blond hair?
The blue hour comes from a French expression (l'heure bleue) which refers to the hour experienced between the hours of daylight and darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day (also in photography; it is considered especially flattering for people with blond hair) and because in the summer, this is often when the smell of the flowers is at their strongest.

I have a question about matting and framing.?
I have two 16X20 pictures of my kids when they were 15 mos. old (They are now 13 and 15) that I would like to reframe and hang in my living room. My living room is decorated in muted reds and golds. The picture of my daughter is a light blue background and she is wearing a white romper with baby pink and blue flowers. My son's picture is also a light blue background. He is wearing a white sweater with primary red and blue shapes on it. How can I mat these pictures in such a way that they would fit into my living room. I am very proud of these pictures and NOT hanging them in my living room is not an option. Thanks in advance for your help.
I have a question about matting and framing.?
Use a light beige matting, be sure the frames you choose do not clash with existing pictures frames on your walls or your livingrooms woodworking.
Reply:Using the gold for matting will make the pictures stand out as something of great value in your life. If you double mat them you can use both colors, the red and gold.
Reply:Take a pic of the area you wish to hang the pics, bring pic and pics to a framing shop, and go over your options..do it right, or you'll be sad!
Reply:Hi - If you are going to be doing the framing yourself...then take the photos to a Home Depot or Lowes....use the paint samples to see which look best with colors. You can take the paint samples to a framer also, if you are having the photos framed professionally.
Reply:Take a couple of pictures of your living room with your cellphone camera. Then when you go to the frame shop, show the framer your pictures. S/he can then help you pick out a matt and frame that would match.

What does a blue lotus symbolize?
I'm planning to get a lotus tattooed on my body soon. I know and understand the general meaning of lotuses, religiously, historically and philosophically.
And I know that the different colors of the lotus flowers have separate meanings. Does anyone specifically know the meaning of a blue lotus?
What does a blue lotus symbolize?
This is the symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, of intelligence and wisdom, of knowledge. It is always represented as a partially opened bud, and (unlike the red lotus) its centre is never seen. It is the lotus of Manjusri, and also one of the attributes of Prajnaparamita, the embodiment of the 'perfection of wisdom'.
Reply:You avatar's name, start with ani- are you a Buddhist Nun of Tibetan Buddhism?
I do believe most of the descriptions from web site referred seems to be correct, except most Manjushri's thankgas I saw from three of my schools, where I attend my training all still showing Manjushri sat on Pinkish red lotus flower throne?
However, there are some Bodhisattvas holding blue lotus flowers, most noticeable is Mahāsthāmaprāpta, the Bodhisattva standing on left hand side of Buddha Amitabha.
Else, just the Angry Buddha Dharmapalas are standing on the Blue Lotus thrones.

Reply:i believe it means sacred, because the blue symbolizes Krishna (who is blue), however in general all lotuses represent peace

What type of flowers were on the lei in Bill Rancic's wedding?
Bill Rancic and Guilana something from E! had their wedding on the island of Capri in Italy. There is one scene where he has a blue lei, I was wondering what type of flowers they were because they were such a beautiful color.
What type of flowers were on the lei in Bill Rancic's wedding?
I think his wedding to Giuliana DePandi was televised (or at least there was a tv special) so hopefully it's on the web somewhere.
I know their arch was hydrangia, her bouquet looks like stephanotis and calla lilly - but I can't find any pictures of him with a lei...sorry.
If you can post one maybe that would help...

How do I get rid of this weed?
It has bright blue flowers, bees love it, hairy, stingy stems %26amp; leaves, roots go down to Australia! I always garden organically to preserve wildlife but this has now taken over my garden.I think it's called Akhlanet or Alkhanet or something.Help! Am in south U.K.
How do I get rid of this weed?
Alkanet, common bugloss (a perrenial herb) is a very evasive plant to get rid of it you must its .

Good luck with this very troublesome plant, once established you must have patience to get rid of it. Also wear gloves when dealing with this plant, as skin problems are common as the stingy hairys are actual posion, even though nobody has every been reported as dying from this, Irritant to skin
Reply:Round-Up will kill this plant easily, but be sure to "bag" each plant so the seeds don't end up on the ground.
Good luck. Report It
Reply:hi put fence preserve as near to the root as possible i.e. cut above ground foliage off and also a few short lengths of copper pipe into the ground. tried and tested also in south west,
Reply:Oh dear! looks like you have got Alkanet, a real nasty type of herb which gets absolutely blinking everywhere.
There is really only one way to get rid of it, and that's to pull up all the roots. As you say these roots are sometimes small and stingy, and pulling them up can be a real ball ache.
Because the plant is very fast growing, one has to try and rid the roots in one go. Unfortunately, weed killer is not too effective on Alkanet, as the roots are wide spread. Like another contributor said, wear gloves, as the roots are stingy and can cause irritation and blistering.
I had this same problem a couple of years ago, and since I up-rooted the plant I have suffered no problems. Good luck, and I hate to say it, aching knees. Lol

How do I get rid of this weed?
Alkanet, common bugloss (a perrenial herb) is a very evasive plant to get rid of it you must its .

I am going to a daytime wedding in June. Can I wear a dress that have a white background?
Is in an English Heritage art deco palace. The dress is to the knee and with very big bold royal blue flowers. I am planning to wear a big hat and heels? But which colour? Please help.
I am going to a daytime wedding in June. Can I wear a dress that have a white background?
I give you this quote from "Never Been Kissed" starring the incomparable Drew Barrymore:
Josie Geller: That'll teach me to wear white after labor day.
Gibby Zerefski: I don't think you're supposed to wear white after 1983.
Reply:Hat and heels (and your bag) could be the royal blue colour - if you can match... Or how about silvery/grey... Sounds lovely - you might want a wrap/shawl in case it gets cooler in the evening too.
Reply:yes you can wear a dress with a white background..it sounds lovely with bold royal blue flowers!! you can either wear white shoes %26amp; hat..or the same royal blue as the dress...if it was me - i would opt for plain white accessories and there sounds like enough royal blue in the dress for it to be acceptable...you wont be in too much white..competing with the bride!! - have fun..sounds very plush at a palace!
Reply:white hat. white heels
Reply:of couse you can wear a dress with a white ground( technical term for backround).
white hat with blue or yellow trim...
heels..keep to same as dress...especially since dress is a bold print..you don't want to bring in too many colours..or distractions.
make the dress the focal point.
let the hat compliment %26amp; blend with dress.
Reply:I would suggest a blue. However, if the blue flowers are printed on a white or coloured background. Go with the coloured background.
Reply:Brides wear white on thier wedding day. Noone else.
Reply:There was a time when you would be looked down on for wearing any form of white to a wedding. Now days it's okay as long as you are not wearing all white. Just don't wear white shoes, hat, and bag. That would be a little to obvious that you are trying to compete with the bride. Make a simple statement, with the shoes, hat, bag. Try not to go really bold, try to make your shoes, hat, and bag a shade lighter than your dress. Good Luck.
Reply:Yes, you just can't wear all white. If it was down to the floor and you were wearing a veil, I think that might get you in trouble! Enjoy yourself
Reply:Royal blue and white are lovely. Your hat, shoes and handbag should be similar blue or white. You will look lovely I am sure.
Reply:It is perfectly fine to wear a white print dress. Just don't go solid white for obvious reasons. As far as matching the hat and shoes, you could go with a matching blue or any of the khaki or neutral brown colors. I suggest you take your dress or wear it when you go shoe shopping.
The link below is very informative and suggests to stick with florals pink, yellow or blue. Although it says not to wear white, I assume it means solid white.

How can i decorate this room with the ugly wallpaper I am not allowed to remove?
Its old ladyish, with blue flowers and I like more art deco/contemporary feel. I am willing to purchase A new bed/furniture as well but I live on the 3rd floor and cant get most large stuff up the stairs. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/g...
How can i decorate this room with the ugly wallpaper I am not allowed to remove?
It's not so bad- I was envisioning gigantic blue roses...! Decorate with what you like, but go sparse rather that crammed- get plain straight lines in furniture, no curlicues and waves, Plain colors, not patterns when looking at bedcovers/curatins/cushions. Try timber blinds or a holland blind in a favorite/strong colour.
The plainer things are, the less granny-ish the room will look, and it will look tidy even when its isn't so tidy!!
Reply:you could hang a blanket most place you buy from will bring it up
Reply:It will not show too much.I would make the window the main site for the eye.Lacy curtains in whatever color you like and then the bed to go with the color scheme...
Reply:i like the room. get a different rug to put on the floor, such as a solid color or one with a simple design. from far away, the roses look like polka dots. go to ikea if you live near one. they have cheap, modern stuff. and they pack stuff in small, flat boxes, so it is easy to move to your room. the dresser has clean, sharp lines already, which is good. i don't know what colors or fabrics you like, because art/deco is a big category, so i can't tell you what to decorate with. just do what you like and your room will say you! Good Luck :)
Reply:it`s not ugly.
Reply:OK how about putting posters all over you wall instead of taking it off
Reply:Okay... can you paint it?? That's what I would do.
If you can't, you could consider putting up some really nice fabric (use a stapler... it works great and doesn't show when you take it off :) I suggest something very zen like bamboo....
If you can't do that, make sure you stay away from all oranges and yellows, which will make the flowers stand out even more.

What is this flower? Blue Mountain Flower?
I am looking for information on a mountain flower found in the Pyrenees mountain range in Spain. This flower has blue petals surrounding a pure white center. They grow in the mountain hills of Bonaigua Pass, Catalonia - I found a picture of them online...but above is all I can find out about them. I am attaching a link to their picture http://www.hickerphoto.com/blue-mountain...
My friends says they may be a type of flowering grass. I think they are beautiful. Thinking of using them as part of a tattoo...if I can find out more about them.
What is this flower? Blue Mountain Flower?
I think they are a species of gentian, which is a large family include all sorts of beautiful flowers.

Reply:The previous answer is right on the ball, I believe. Clicking thru the wikipedia he posted I did a google image search on something that looked like your flower:
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en%26amp;q=...
Visually, the elements from your photo do match the ones in the search. I'm no botanist, so there maybe something I'm missing, but the petal shape, colors, clustering, and general arrangement of the flower itself seems to be dead on.

What is the meaning of Frost's Fragmentary Blue?
I came across this poem and was wondering what it means.
Here's the poem:
Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)--
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

In Virtual Villagers the lost children where is the medical cactus?
Is it one of these? If so which one.
-The green plant in the upper left hanging over the wall of stones.
-The blue flower at the top center just to the right of the cave.
-The lavender daisy at the far top-right above the sacred area.
-The black chain of flowers just above the waterfall on the east.
-The bright red flowers southeast of the dam.
-The large orange flower to the south of the village.
In Virtual Villagers the lost children where is the medical cactus?
The medical cactus is in Virtual Villagers: A New Home, not The Lost Children. However, all of the above plants will do the same thing as the medical cactus. If, after you solve the puzzle consisting of the mastery of these six plants, you drag a villager to one of these plants, they will show an increase in healing ability.
Hope this helps!

Our wedding colors are chocolate brown and blue please help with ideas for decor....?
WHAT FLOWERS WILL WORK? WHICH COLOUR WORKS FOR BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES? LOOKING FOR CHEAP PLACE FOR THESE DRESSES ALSO? I WANT TO TRY TO COORDINATE BUT NOT OVER DO THE DAY... WE HAVE A VERY BASIC VENUE AND WANT SOME WOW FOR LOW COST AND WANT GUESTS TO BE HAPPY AND OF COURSE WE WANT TO ENJOY THE DAY...
WHAT WORKS WHAT DOESN'T...THE WEDDING IS IN AUGUST. WE THINK THAT CERTAIN PINK FLOWERS MAY SUIT THE COLOURS SCHEME... I DON'T LIKE DYED BLUE FLOWERS OR BLUE FLOWERS IN GENERAL...
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE.
Our wedding colors are chocolate brown and blue please help with ideas for decor....?
Hmm...well, for starters great color choices! I wanted chocolate and pink but my hubby was against the pink. :)
If it were my wedding I would put the guys in chocolate tuxes with blue vests (or cumberbunds)and ties. The girls would be in blue dresses with coordinating flowers. I'm assuming your blue is icy? Then I would do pink roses or an arrangement of light colored flowers, focusing on pink.
For table decor, use blue for things like napkins, plates, table runners, votive holders, personalized favors (ribbon on bubbles, letters on mint packages, m%26amp;ms ect) and use the brown for table cloths, seat cushions/back covers.
Back to flowers: if you do an assorted bouquet pick your favorite flower in the bunch to use for the boutineers(sp?). I would consider that same flower for table centerpieces (single flower in a clear/blue vase) and use assorted arrangements for bigger things like the guest book/gift table, cake table, ect.
Also, for my own wedding I had a vase full of water for each bridesmaid at the head table, in front of her place setting. It was a convenient spot for her to drop her flowers and instantly decorated out table for us! My vases were clear (each one was different) with a ribbon on the neck.
Hope this helps!
Congratulations on your engagement!
Reply:Just white I guess, as your color choices are odd together. Could you please stop YELLING - it's irritating to read your info.
Reply:irst you need tochange your colors. that does not sound good at all.
Reply:Well if your wedding colors are blue and chocolate brown then your bridesmaids dresses should be chocolate brown. Since you don't like blue flowers than you should have brown, creme and white lillies or carnations for your centerpieces. To incorporate the blue you should have blue napkins, place settings and party favors so that the blue can stand out. Davids Bridal is a great bargain store and you should also research small businesses in your area that sell bridesmaid dresses because they are affordable.
Reply:Chocolate and light blue or chocolate and light pink are very popular wedding colors these days.
I am not much good at decorating ideas, but have you seen the chocolate colored ring pillow, basket, garter, and guest book set at customweddingsolutions.com? Its really nice.
Reply:How about white flowers? Have your bridesmaids carry white flowers, daisies specifically are super cheap. And then you can carry white flowers with blue embelishments. Have them put some kind of pokes in the boquet and blue ribbon. Tableclothes can be white...use a wide blue ribbon down the middle of the table to decorate, and you can just have small votive candles in brown on the table. Simple and elegant.
Reply:I agree. Ivory would look a lot better. Brown is a hard color to match up with. Think about it. If you were wearing brown pants, what color top would you put on? Probably not blue.
Hope you are not offended, but it's just my opinion.
Reply:i would suggest changing one of your colors. that is a horrible color combination. chocolate with ivory or pink would work great. that you way your options are pretty much countless when it comes to decoration.
if you really need blue in the wedding, add a blue flower to your bouquet of white. and that way you will also cover the something blue. if you want it done inexpensive, it will look inexpensive.
Reply:I think that blue dresses would work for the bridesmaids. You might want to think about getting white flowers or red roses, they are a rich color like brown. Pink might fit. I don't know. Pink seems to go with brown better than blue though. Oh, congratulations on the big day! Good luck!
Reply:I think your colour choice is great and is very modern. You could do a pink colour flower or white. For table centerpieces the ostrich feathers and surround with different color votives.
PS Above people who noted that the color choice is not a good one need to update themselves
Reply:It depends what kind of blue you are using but fuschia pink and powder pink both look great with brown for flowers. Or white calla lilys would be really pretty. Jessica McClintock has nice dresses that could be used for bridesmaids that aren't too expensive. Good luck!
Reply:peach colored roses for the flowers and peach dresses with brown trim would be nice
Reply:calla lilies ...my fave and they come in a wide assortment of colors to chose form. they can be kind of expensive but that is the case for most flowers right! I am also having a fall wedding! good luck!
Reply:If you're talking light or ice blue with chocolate brown,I think this is a pretty combination. A darker shade of blue with a deep color like brown won't complement each other very well. Chocolate brown dresses for your 'maids with blue sashes or visa virsa. Flowers- what about cream or ivory colored hydrangeas and roses with chocolate brown ribbon and blue jewel embellishments in the arrangements. If you're renting linens for the reception, go for alternating brown and blue table clothes, with the same flower scheme. Or, do blue table clothes and use a large dish of chocolate candies for a centerpiece. These could be your favors for the guests. Also, you could use draped fabric in your colors to dress up the walls. Check your local fabric stores in the bargain and sale bins. If you have trouble finding supplies in your blue color, considering tying in another color to help, or switching the blue. Light pink and green (sage?) also go well with chocolate brown. I have seen all three used together. Just keep your eyes and your mind open. I think you can make the blue work. Just make sure you and your groom are happy with the choices and you don't blow the budget (too much).

Can you dye a darker fabric with a floral print a lighter color?
So... I am getting married in September and found these cheap 120" round linen tablecloths. They are a terrible print but, for the price I am willing to buy them if I can fix them. I am not sure if there is any way of lightening them. If I bleach them they might come out all splotchy. There are 20 of them. They are pretty large. They are beige with burgundy roses some greenery and blue flowers on them. Since my wedding colors are chocolate, dusty rose and ivory..yeah...I need to either get them ivory or just dye them chocolate brown! Which I don't want them brown...cause it's gonna cost alot to buy that much RIT dye! hmmmm...any suggestions on how to get them lighter...technique wise that is??? Did I mention these 20 tablecloths were only $50.00...yeah...see why i'm trying to work with them?? P.S. Wedding's are expensive...ya have to try to save somehow.
Can you dye a darker fabric with a floral print a lighter color?
Forget it. If you try to dye them Everything will come out the color of the dye, some lighter and darker areas where the print is

What is a simple item of clothing I can make?
I got 1.2M of a piece of material because I liked the pattern. Its beige with small blue flowers, very sheer cotton with a bit of light embroidery throughout. I don’t think its called embroidery but I don’t know what it is called.
What is a simple item of clothing I can make?
Simple......
An A-Line skirt is pretty simple. I'm guessing you have not done much sewing, so something with an elastic waistband is probably easiest. Simply cut the desired angle from waist out to hemline, join at the sides, hem bottom. Turn over enough to run elastic through at the top. Pretty basic.

you could make about 3 cute little girls aprons and give them as christmas gifts to friends with little girls or nieces or if you have a girl of your own - add a tiny tea set - or tiny baking set (tray and cookie cutter and roller pin) - how cute!
Otherwise - you could make a pretty little table cloth - just hem the edges and set the table with a creamy / beige vase with blue and white flowers and white dinnerware.
Clothing for yourself - your could make a pretty little handkerchief style summer top and head band to match (kind of like hippie style.
Reply:Well the most obvious is a shawl or a scarf, which essentially involves cutting to size plus hem and then hemming it. Depending on the pattern you might cut it to a shape and hem it and then pin the shape to an existing curtain as a room feature or tack it to the wall like a painting.
I have pieces of brightly colored fabric draped over the cafe curtains (half height) that we have on all windows, and I change them periodically. I didn't even hem them.
With that amount of fabric, about all else you can make is some kind bag - hand bag, book bag, shoulder bag.
Reply:perhaps a lined vest with a contrast or harmonizing back.
Reply:Make a skirt, or like a hulter top.
Reply:1.2M ... is this about 45" square?
If you are tiny, it could become a sarong-type skirt.
If you are larger, there may still be enough fabric for an empire-waist tube-top:

to be worn with a jacket or open cardigan or without.
What is a simple item of clothing I can make?
Simple......
An A-Line skirt is pretty simple. I'm guessing you have not done much sewing, so something with an elastic waistband is probably easiest. Simply cut the desired angle from waist out to hemline, join at the sides, hem bottom. Turn over enough to run elastic through at the top. Pretty basic.

How can I get help making my tattoo ideas into a tattoo?
I have a few drogonfly tattoos. I really want a a large cherry blossom tree with blue flowers I can't decide wether to go for half a sleeve or to go from my waist up my ribs around the back and over my shoulder. If anyone has any Ideas that may help, great let me know.
How can I get help making my tattoo ideas into a tattoo?
Hmmm. I suggest finding a really good artist and having them actually draw it up for you. Once you have a complete idea on what the image will look like, you might be able to decide where you want it to go. I personally like the over the shoulder idea...kind of like they are cascading down your back. But, thats ultimately up to you.
Reply:dont get any real tatto yet.. Why dont u get an temporal tatto with vegetable ink that its reraseble like in a week.. it would be better to decide somehthing that u will wear the rest of ur life.. try to be discret, remember, someday u will be 45, 50 years old-.., nd ur kids will see it... think about it..
Reply:Go to your tattoo artist and tell him your ideas. He is the best person to help you realise your ideas.
Reply:It sounds like a really interesting design. I would definitely speak to your artist and have him/her assist you with the design.
All of my tattoos are custom designed with the help of my artist. Sometimes I just had an idea in my head and sometimes I found a picture that I used as a guideline. I have never regretted any of my artist's suggestions and I hope that your tattoo turns out the way you envision it.
Reply:Tattoo artists were artists first, and then tattoo artists. Well, virtually all of them and anyone you use should be. They know how to draw, and draw well and are able to bring your ideas to life. They've also studied the human form and understand how a body moves and bends and how to make a tattoo fit an area to look its best. Every single one of mine are custom. Nothing off the shelf for me and my guy did it beautifully! Just do your research. Ask to see their portfolios. Check out tattoos you see being done in their shops. Inquire about health procedures. Have fun!
Reply:Depends on how much you can afford to spend on it. If you went from your waist to shoulder(ouch!), it could add up. I think it would look wonderful though! Leave the sleeve for something else.
Reply:Why not talk to the artist that will be doing the tattoo?

What should I put around my dog house?
I am getting an aussie in a couple of months, and I'd like to put a lot of flowers, and vines around her dog house. What should I do? I'm thinking of having it between my maple trees, with lillies, other perannuals, annuals around it and morning glories and sweet peas vining up. But if she has blue eyes (shes an aussie), i'll probably have all blue flowers. Thanks in advance.
What should I put around my dog house?

Think about it .Do you plan on training her to tip toe through the tulips. GET REAL!!!
Reply:I wouldn't keep my dog outside in a dog house away from me. Poor little doggie will miss you. If I had to leave her to go to work though I would definitely put some cedar wood chips around to help keep bugs away from her house. If you are getting a puppy be careful. Puppies like to eat everything and some plants are toxic. Maybe just use hanging flower baskets, something your pup cant get into and hurt herself.

Identify purple flowers?
Each plant is less than an inch tall. Each leaf and each flower is less than a quarter inch in diameter. The flowers are bright light purple. They grow by the millions among ordinary grass. If you pluck one, you don't get much of a stem, because there are leaves all up and down the stem. There are about twice as many leaves as flowers, but the overall impression is of light purple blue flowers rather than green leaves, because the flowers stand out more. These flowers grow very close together, in big patches, giving an impression of light purple fabric.
They grow a few miles south of the Ohio river in west central Kentucky.
I haven't been in this area before, so I don't know how common these flowers are. I might be surrounded by a million people who know the name of these flowers, and I might be the only one who doesn't.
The petals have small dark purple markings, covering only a small fraction of the face of the petal, so the overall color is still light purple.
Identify purple flowers?
Dilbert, It sounds a lot like the wild violet. I live in the area you mentioned and they are very common here. I guess that they are pretty much a weed, but more like wild flowers to me. Some people try pretty hard to get rid of them, but I don't see that they cause much problem.
Wild violet is a winter perennial, growing 2 - 5 inches tall. It can have a tap root or a fibrous root system, and also can produce rooting stolons and rhizomes. The leaves can vary but usually are heart shaped, on long petioles with scalloped to shallow rounded margins.
The flowers of wild violet range from white to blue to purple and appear from March to June. Wild violet flowers are pansy-like with three lower petals and two lateral petals on long single flower stalks.
Wild violets are found throughout the United States, except for the Rocky Mountains. Wild violets are more common where they are sold as ornamental ground covers.
This link has a picture, but I haven't found a good one. They come in different colors, but the ones we have are a darker purple or violet.
Reply:I think(?) from your description it may be a bluet. (sometimes called quaker ladies)

How to get rid of creeping plants?
I planted some flowering plants a couple of years ago. I am not sure what they are called. They are a creeping plant that gives little navy blue flowers in late August to late September. They are a nice mound plant, but they have started to creep were I don't want them. So I have to pull the creepers out like weeds. How do you fully get rid of the creepers after I dig the whole plant out , so none of the plant comes back next year.
How to get rid of creeping plants?
If you have left any of the plant in the ground, use Glycophosphate weedkiller - you just put it on the leaves of the plant you want to get rid of and it travels back to the roots and kills without affecting any other plants
Reply:Put the plant in a buried tub. That should slow growth enough for you to keep on top of it.

Would blue and orange sakuras be weird?
I know sakuras are traditionally red and pink, but I want it to be in blue and orange (different flowers). I have a half done tatt with a few sakuras, getting it coloured in a month's time. I'm pretty tanned (think the rock), would it be possible?
Would blue and orange sakuras be weird?
I am having a hard time picturing cherry blossoms in those colors. Maybe if they are done softly - more of a pastel look - that would make sense. I think soft blues would look good on your skin tone and the right orange....it would have to be maybe toward a peachy tone.
Reply:i wouldn't because i remember on an episode of miami ink, one of the tattooist said that he didn't like using blue or purple color ink on tan skin because when it starts to fade away, it will look kinda grayish

Reply:Pale pink looks lovely with the tiff's blue and brown.

Reply:Try some of these ideas:
1. Tiffany blue daisies:

2. http://www.wedding-decoration-idea.com/a...
"**For a more dramatic, striking decor, match up the Tiffany blue with shiny black and silver. Go with a formal theme for this - pure elegance with sleek centerpieces. Skip the flowers and float balloons at each table - black, white and Tiffany blue.
**Deep, rich jewel tones are a wonderful accent to the bright sky blue of Tiffany boxes. Try a shimmering satin in burgundy, or a rich, deep emerald.
**For a more lighthearted look, choose jellybean green and white to set off the aqua. Play it out with favors of Lucite gift boxes filled with JellyBelly jellybeans in honeydew and berry, all wrapped up with a Tiffany blue satin bow.
**Create a backdrop for white flowers and blue ribbons with chocolate brown tablecloths. Fill Tiffany blue round bandboxes with chocolates, and top with tulle-wrapped Jordan almonds in blue and white."
3. Go with baby pastels or white flowers, and accent with tiffany blue crystals, ribbon or even glitter
4. A large, clear glass candleholder (hurricane lantern type?) in the center of the table with tiffany blue glass beads in the bottom and a white candle would be beautiful for a centerpiece.
5. Or, a large martini glass filled with blue jellybeans and/or blue jordan almonds...

Have some cystal sparys through out the arrangments, table top linens in Tiffany blue with brown napkins and silver chargers would be lovely.

Their gown is Ivory and Blue.....
Do you think plain ivory or blue (whatever flowers would be blue?)
What color of flowers should someone use in their wedding if? (Read Details)?
Being that flowers really aren't actually white white I would probably do some ivory roses with blue hydrangea mixed in. I think the hydrangea would give it enough of a contrast to the dress. Do you have a picture of the dress that you could post? And what color blue?
Reply:Go with a neutral color...how does white sound?
Reply:Just make sure you have something that is a neutral shade blended with your dominant shade. You can go with blue flowers but perhaps have a few in different shades of blue like a darker blue, a lighter blue, blue violet and something white so its like a wide array of colors but they dont clash but they arent boring because there is a mix in there. :)
Reply:I think the flowers should be a contrasting color. How about yellow roses?
Reply:Oh I think blue roses would be gorg. They can change the coloring with food coloring in the water. But you could go with white if you wanted.
Reply:blue violets..
Reply:I personally think that a plain ivory bouquet will get lost against the ivory and blue. You selected to put a color on your gown because you like originality and color, so keep it up with the inclusion of color in your flowers.
Since the ivory and blue are softer colors, I'd stick with soft colors,

what else can I add to my bowl? I can only think of rocks, but is there anything shinny I can add also?
Thanks for the help!
What can I use to get a really clear shade of blue in my vase (so it looks like blue ocean water)? natural?
add a few drops of food coloring to the water. drop clear marble-like glass beads in the bottom on top of a thin layer of sand. you can get the beads at the dollar store and sand at home depot - unless you already live near the beach!
Reply:O.K. first thing, to make your water blue, use Mrs. Stewarts bluing (available in laundry section of grocery stores) then to add a little sparkle or shinny, try some colorful marbles, they are cheap and if you had flowers with stems, would hold them in place. Be careful in the use of the bluing as a little goes a long way, drop by drop is the answer!
Reply:food coloring
fish (1 blue japanese fighting fish)
rocks
shells
ocean/water plants
sand
marbles
Reply:We tried sand for ours- it just looks muddy and kinds floated around until it settled- ugh. Try a mirror under the bowl %26amp; candles in clear glass votives/ tea lights to add sparkle- fake diamonds/ crystals... We decided on a clear glass plate (a real dinner plate! They are 10 inches and only $1.50 at Walmart!), 3 pillar candles in varied heights and sat them in a bed of sand. Then scattered petals all around the plate. This was done on 1/2 the tables. On the other 1/2- I bought tall cylinder vases form Goodwill for $1 each- filled them with tiny tiny limes and water, then the florist who made ONLY the bridal party flowers ordered extra stems of orange and hot pink calla lillies that we stuck in the vases (ourself-no arrangement fee!) and let them sorta 'flop' over the edge. We then put candles in votives around the floral centerpiece and roses petals liek on the others. This was a 'tropical themed' wedding. Best Wishes! I shopped on Craigslist.org and at Goodwill for lots of things- bought all my table cloths (18 white round and 3 rectangle buffet style) on CL for $90 (less than renting and then I can resell!) and hot pink chair sashes (145 of them) for $80 (again less than renting !) I shopped the Goodwills near me for candles, vases, baskets...the DOllar store for shells, candles, votives, paper lanterns, bamboo palcemats that I took apart and used to decorate other things...Best Wishes!
(FYI- $500 for bridal bouquet (orange callas, pink roses, lime green roses), 2 bridesmaids (callas only), groom (2 callas), 2 groomsmen, Father, ringbearer, flowers for the ladies hair, wristlet for Mom, officiant, cake flowers, petals for tossing and scattering, and a head table centerpiece, and callas for the 5 centerpieces that had flowers (the other 6 had candles %26amp; petals)
Reply:A tiny bit of blue food coloring will help dye the water. What color is the flower candle? I would do a clear, silvery shiny glass beads in the bottom. Like the ones used in fish tanks, I used these for mine, and they looked amazing! Make sure it has some sort of iridescence, or shimmer to it, so it picks up the light. You can get these at any pet store (=]), craft store, they even sell them at some dollar stores! Good luck! Congrats!
Reply:a small amount of blue food coloring. You could also add these stones that everybody is using now. They are in bags at the hobby stores or even at wal- mart in the craft area. They have some that are a slight color of blue and they shine really pretty. They aslo have silver ones.

For my wedding party, the girls are wearing brown dresses(fall wedding).Should they have a pink or blue sash?
And if a pink sash, what kind/color of flowers? If blue, (and it would be like a tiffany blue) again what kind of flowers do you think?

I like blue - flowers are hard to match though
Reply:Oh, I think pink looks best with brown, definitely!
I think the flowers should be a mix of white blossoms (calla lilies, gardenias, etc.) and pink blossoms that match the sash (pink sweetheart roses, etc.)
Reply:blue with blue hydrangea or pink with pink hydrangea would be really cute. I think I favor the blue though.
Reply:I think brown and blush pink (soft pink). Will look very nice. Has for flowers pink and cream roses will look great.
Roses
Tulips
Pennies
Either one will look good.
Reply:either one would look good. I dont know about the flowers
Reply:Pink sash. I would do pink and white roses or another type of flower in pink and white.Or, you could do fall colored bouqets---it all depends on your preference.
Reply:My too have brown dresses, but light brown. With a champagne colored sash. It is actually creme.
Reply:I think something cream colored with just a hint of your accent color...you dont want to many colors going around...I like the blue idea
Reply:Hi, my fiance and I are getting married October 18th 2008 and my bridesmaid dresses are chocolate brown with a light pink ribbon at empire waist level ( cocktail length). I love the contrast of the colors. They are carrying a hand tied bouquet of variations of pink sweetheart roses and spray roses with gerbra daisies with these little brown berries and flowers mixed in. hope this helped Congrats
Reply:I think pink and than have pink and blur flowers
Reply:I vote for a pink sash. Have a little bouquet where the stems are bound in the same pink fabric. Include pink chrysanthemums, palest pink carnations, berry sprigs and white baby's breath for softness.
If the bridesmaids are agreeable, you could match an elastic and ribbon hairband for them ( looks pretty in short and long hair) and match it to the pink sash.
I like your idea of brown dresses. Good luck with your plans!

What type of flowers would you use for a beach wedding?
i have to do a wedding project and the colors are baby blue white and a sandish color.
and it's on the beach, in the bahamas.
what flowers would you think would go great with those colors and theme?
thank youu !
What type of flowers would you use for a beach wedding?
Hibiscus or white orchids....Frangipannis are really tropical and pretty too!
Reply:If the wedding is being held on the beach, keep in mind that you will need "sturdy" flowers that do not wilt easily and will not be beaten by a strong tropical breeze. I attending a beach wedding in Destin, Florida and the bride's colors were purple and white. She used white and purple wisteria and the flowers were wilted and beaten before the ceremony took place.
Reply:I think that calla Lillie's and hydrangea may be good as you can find some blue hydrangea to match the baby blue.
check this site http://desbijoux.com as you may find some other interesting accessories that match beach wedding theme.
Reply:Any tropical flower will do as long as you like it. My personal favs are Dahlia's. They look great in bouquets
Reply:White flowers. Small bunches or singularly (this is my preference, as less is more!) of orchids or calla lillies.
Also, if you want a little more casual maybe frangipanis.
Reply:I would do a palette of tropical flowers in the bridesmaids bouquets accented with palm leaves for greenery.
Reply:My daughter %26amp; Son-in-law were married on the beach in Orlando Florida. She wore a traditional wedding gown, bare feet %26amp; carried calla lillies.
Reply:I would use tropical orchid leis

What color flower(s) should i plant in front of blue house???
what color(s) would be best you think???
What color flower(s) should i plant in front of blue house???
You can do a couple of things. If you want to go for the monochromatic, try lavender and purple azaleas. If you're going for traditional, tulips, white roses, or daisies work nice. If you're going for all out color, choose your greens first. Pick out some nice green plants and flowers and sort of blend that way. depending on the green, you might want to go either pale pink or fuschia pink. Good Luck!
Reply:Burgundy %26amp; White. You could even plant a Burgundy leafed shrub to give you a foundation plant.
Reply:Bright yellow daffodils, and it depends on what zone you live in. But Yellow looks best with blue. And white. White Calla Lilies.
Reply:White, pinks, purples for summer. Yellow and red for spring bulbs.

Colors that go with cornflower blue?
I am having soooo much trouble picking out flowers and accent colors for my september wedding..the bridesmaid dresses are cornflower blue, which I am now kicking myself for because it is a hard color. and i dont like blue flowers really???? ugh!! please help...what colors would look good for my wedding !!
Colors that go with cornflower blue?
Yellow looks awesome with the cornflower, or you could do a darker blue, or cream....either way I would do cream and yellow flowers, hand tied with cornflower colored ribbon. Hope this helps good luck and congrats
Reply:to my mind the soft pink (like in this bouquet) will be perfect as it is very romantic and in september it will look nice at wedding
http://helloasap.com/usa/bouquet-37.php
hope it will help you to choose
Reply:champagne
pale gold
Reply:soft yellow and cream with a little cornflower blue in the ribbons! good luck!
Reply:My main color is blue as well and I am using hydrangeas. I think they're beautiful and easy to use. I would look it up on the internet. They look beautiful in bouquets, centerpieces, and even on the cake. That was the only blue flower I liked as others are either really small or too bright and look purple.
The color I went with as an accent color was called latte. It's a lighter brown. It looked good with my colors because my dress is ivory and champagne and the latte color matched the campaign.
If I am remembering right, cornflower blue is a brighter blue?
I can think of a few combinations:
cornflower blue and purple
" " pale yellow
" " green
" " burnt orange
" " white
Good luck. I would just look up ideas on the internet of blue weddings. That's what I did. Also, ask your/a florist for ideas.
Best of luck to you!
Reply:a lighter blue, white or a light pink! Good Luck!
Reply:i.d.k. lavender maybe or soap blue i.d.k.
Reply:ivory

I really hope this helps!!!
Reply:Awww..please don't stress! I'm the mother of the groom in a wedding in September and JUST found out the color the mother of the bride picked, so I get last choice. I chose cornflower blue because it goes with the MOB's dark maroon with hint of navy long gown, the bridesmaids and MOH are navy long gowns and the flower girl has a white gown with navy trim. The other color is silver but haven't heard of it any wear in the tuxes yet.
So, the wedding is outdoors and at The Dallas Arboretum. The bride chose all white flower bouquet. I would have chose a mix of all the colors plus some yellow, red, purple because they all go with the theme colors. She chose all white because it was less of the stress thinking about colors.
Good luck. Congrats!
Reply:Hi and congratulations!
Don't stress! What I tell brides is to NOT try to match the color of the dress AND the color of the flowers. It's too "matchy-matchy" and you want something that contrasts and stands out from the dress.....not blends into the dress.
September is a beautiful month. Why not go with some reds, yellows, even oranges! You want something to "pop" against the dresses. Look at this photo, I think these dresses would be cornflower blue and they have lovely arrangements of bright colored flowers:

Also.....go to your florist! Get their recommendations. You don't need to try to figure it all out before you go to the florist. That is their job! They do weddings every weekend. They will be able to help and guide you.
Hope this helps!
Reply:pale yellow for sure
Reply:pale yellows and creams !!!
Reply:Add ivory or pale yellow or both
Reply:For an "almost" fall wedding, why don't you use a lot of greenery (i.e., ivy, the petit-pointe small type) and I think some bright colors, even a little orange, with white, yellow, maybe a few daisies thrown in. Really, cornflower blue is a beautiful color. Remember it is almost purple...so you could even pair pinks with it, i.e., pale pink rose with some purple statis... but I would do lots of lacey green foliage. I think that looks so beautiful and classy for a wedding.
