Blue is my wedding colour, so is it best to have blue flowers?

My fiancee is wearing a baby blue tie, and the wedding party are wearing navy. Also, touches of blue will be every where (ie: table runners, candle holders, etc). I'm just unsure of what flower colours to pick for my bouquet, my maid of honour, etc?

Blue is my wedding colour, so is it best to have blue flowers?
My color was a sky/baby blue. My flowers were pink, purple, yellow, and a little bit of blue. Wow...it does sound horrific, but it was actually quite pretty. I loved them!





I am a fan of a colored bouquet for the bride. It "pops" against a white dress! (If you're wearing any shade of white...)
Reply:I think yellows, or reds/pinks or white. The reason being is that the blue will blend in, or look overdone, you want to draw attention you and the girls not have people that look like big monochromatic blobs. There aren't very many flowers that come in blue either. You could do a yellow boquet (White will blend with your dress) and the girls all carry a white that will pop with the colors of their dresses. White flowers for the bride usually look boring and blend too much in my personal opinion.
Reply:I would stay away from being too matchy matchy.





Try to find colors that compliment eachother without being the same. That will keep it from being overwhelming.


White roses are simple but very beautiful and you could personalize them up by adding a favorite charm or scarf to the wrap.





Congrats!!
Reply:If you have a blue theme already, I wouldn't add fall colors on top of it...it'll just be confusing.


I wouldn't use blue flowers for the bouquet, though you might be able to add some small blue flowers as accents in the bouquet, or maybe a blue ribbon holding the bouquet together.


Of course, you don't *need* to have it there if you don't want.
Reply:I would go with creams or yellows. Don't go with blue, you're over doing that color. Pick an accent colour. I think you're safest with a cream-colour. Even though it's the fall you're stating "baby blue". If your main blue colour was navy then you would be safe to go with a darker accent colour. Creams and/or a yellow will accent any blue.
Reply:Go check out CHURCHBOWS Com. You can see different color decorations there. I would say which ever blue you are using less of have put in your bouquet in small amounts with white. Light blue in the bouquet would look good and go with his tie. Anyway go to the website and ask them. They make custom bouquets in your colors. Good Luck!
Reply:There are some silver-blue roses that could make a lovely accent. There are also a lot of blue flowers of varying sizes, shapes, shades, and heights that could make lovely accents or a lovely bouquet. It depends on what you like best. You could do creams or whites for the main part of the bouquet with just a few accents in the blues to complement your chosen colors. A totally blue bouquet could be lovely, but only if it is done with some bright blues, some light blues, accents of white or yellow, and some different heights to give it some sparkle and lighten up the blue theme. Congrats and good luck.
Reply:Yellow is a nice complementary color to blue. If you really feel you need blue, have them add a little stephanoitis (tiny white flower they can dye any color including blue) to the bouquet, but just a tiny bit.
Reply:I was a bridesmaid at a wedding that had a blue wedding colour and they had bouquets with white roses and small blue flowers. Also on the bit that you hold of the bouquet it looks really pretty if you tie white ribbon around it before pinning it in place with little diamond pins!
Reply:yellows and oranges would work, i think whites and creams would be pretty. there are some floweres that come in blue but i think i would go with an accent color, something to pop against the dresses. if you do decide to do blue floweres i recommend not having your florist paint them, i think they look cheap and tacky. hope this helps
Reply:MAYBE SOME CREAMED COLORED FLOWERS AND THEN USE THE BLUE IN THE RIBBON IN YOUR BOUQUET......THE BOTTOM LINE IS THOUGH THAT IT IS YOUR DAY AND YOU DO WHAT WILL BE MOST MEMORABLE FOR YOU AND FUTURE HUBBY.....
Reply:Don't do blue flowers, that's a little too much. Try white, cream or some other neutral color.
Reply:For flowers you could go with white, cream, yellow or pink and it will look wonderful, but blue flowers may be too much. Try wrapping the stems in blue ribbon to keep your theme going.
Reply:You don't need to have EVERYTHING blue. You can mix two or three colours that compliment each other. And besides, if you have blue flowers, you have to start artificially colouring them all...





I think creams, yellows, golds, silvers (not for flowers I guess!), but you get the idea. Perhaps you could incorporate the blue in the bouquet by using blue ribbon to tie the flowers.
Reply:Dont do blue flowers, pick another wedding color along with blue
Reply:Yellows, Reds and Oranges will look amazing! my sister in law had a similar color scheme for fall and the colors really popped against our dresses and showed up beautiful in the pictures!
Reply:talk to your florist , if you don't have one maybe put a small amount of blue,with whiteor cream i would really talk to someone that does this for a living. kc
Reply:blue flowers look so unnatural! I would use white or cream or possibly another accent color to break it all up. If it is spring or summer a nice touch of pale celery green would be pretty. Like the pastel green color.
Reply:if you are going to do blue i would use Different Hues of the color blue..Dark Blue..Navy..Cobalt.."blue"..Sky Blue..Pale Blue..If you do the same blue for everything it's going to hide all the detail of you wedding. Blue's nice..Orange is the opposite of the color blue on the color wheel so your girls..w/e blue they may be in ..will look great. Same for all you other accessories of the wedding
Reply:i would say pick white to accent with the blue though which will set it off nice depending on what flowers you are using.


i think white lilies and deep blue lilies are just beautiful but depends on what you like.


i found some pictures of them if you search 'blue flowers' on google.com
Reply:Use a complimentary color. Try pale pink, yellow, cream, ivory but do put little bits of blue in the bouquet as well
Reply:Hi I had baby blue as my wedding theme, I had pink and cream orchids with a few sticks of lavender in it, and many people commented on how gorgeous they were. They smelt gorgeous with the lavender on the day.





Have similar colours for your maid of honor too. She can have maybe roses which are nice in a posy style.





Good luck, and enjoy a wonderful day, mine will forever be in my memory as the best day of my life.
Reply:I would say blue and white. I think blue and white roses look nice. Any other color could take away from the blue.
