I am getting married this July. The bridesmaids are wearing navy blue dresses and the groomsmen are wearing navy blue vests. The reception room has beige chairs, white tablecloths, and a patterned navy blue/mauve carpet. I would like to know why kinds of flowers and colors of flowers I could have for the bouquets, as well as what colors and types of flowers would work best in that room. Any help is greatly appreciated.
What colors and kinds of flowers would go best for my navy blue summer wedding?
Stargazer lilies would look beautiful with navy
Reply:In July you can use summer flowers. Yellow is a blue complement, so I would think asters, lilys, mixed colorful flowers and sunflowers. One of the most beautiful centerpieces I ever saw was sunflowers with a few mixed blue and purples in a big clear glass vase which was filled with lemons. Stunning! It had some long spriggley things in it for added height.
Reply:You'll always be safe with white. I think you'd want to avoid red because it would look too American-flag like. Lavendar roses alone or mixed with other purples that leant toward the blue side would be beautiful. Violets are especially sweet in weddings.
Reply:White?
Reply:Here are some ideas for you. It lists flower type and color:

Reply:There are tons of silk flowers available the will compliment the navy blue. First find out what you like then start looking from there. You could always use white, or antiques colored flowers. There are many varieties of white, cream and antique colored roses both fresh and silk. Congrats!
Reply:Cream and mauve roses would look fantastic!
Reply:Orange and/or yellow flowers would really stand out against navy. And they work with a white or cream/ivory gown. I had orangey/yellow tulips for my bouquet and my girls wore navy and carried yellow tulips. Yellow roses would be nice, too... or tiger lilies. You could use yellow and white flowers on the tables, maybe the same type that you use for your bouquets.

What flowers will grow with blue spruce trees nearby?
We have 3 young blue spruce trees in the yard of our new house. They are about 10 feet apart in a row. Is there anything I can grow close by to them? They were probably planted to hide the fence, and I would love to do sopme gardening.

As long as your flowers are in the sun, they should be fine.
I have lots of blue %26amp; norway in my yard, my garden is right in front of them, no problems.
Reply:Anything should do fine. I have violets growing under the bows of the blue spruce and they thrive

What flowers that go with brown and light blue?

What flowers that go with brown and light blue?
Hi. You should flip this question into the wedding section. You will get lots more answers.
Anyway, I'm assuming the bridesmaids dresses are chocolate brown? Ivory roses would look nice with either brown or aqua. Or...if roses are too expensive, go with white or ivory gerbera daisies.
Reply:Hmmmmmm. What time of year ?
I'd go with lots of leafy green and celery green and mix in tan, maybe on the stems %26amp; delicate leaves, and shades of light, medium, and dark blue.
Try going to the silk flower sections in a hobby store or Wal-Mart and gather up your colors.
Once you gather some of that up, take stems of another color and put it in to see how it looks.
There are so many shades of lavendar and purple, but I would try something with purple. You don't want to 'overpower' the light blue. Try some 'silver' and maybe some shiney silver and white with tan twisted stems jutting out.
If you go too much pink, it looks like baby colors. Yellow is for Spring. Orange would have to be very, very soft.
If it is Winter, you might try going for the crystal and snowflake look with the ice blues, whites, crystal, silver, and white..... and add strings of little white lights where needed.
It's my opinion you will find your answer by looking at the different shades and putting them up next to your colors.
Reply:I would go with white roses or something like that. Also try looking on knot.com they have all kinds of good Ideas on that site.
Reply:calla lilies would be lovely.
NO SILK FLOWERS
Reply:Roses, carnations, etc.. can have multi colors.
Some people took white flowers with tips of petals 'dipped' in other colors - - such as blue.
Personally I like orange, yellow roses with white baby breath.
Reply:yellow. not too bright though.
or maybe white roses, always classic.

and if you looking for blue flowers, Hydrangeas are beautiful!!
Reply:Forget-me-nots are my favorite blue flower.
Reply:Cream colored roses, cream stock( smells great). Any flower thats in season, roses, stock, daisies.Yellow would work as well.
Reply:hydrangeas are my favorite blue flower. they are naturally blue too.
Reply:Cornflowers are a gorgeous blue, as are forget-me-nots and grape hyacinths. Another option is to have flowers dyed, eg white roses or carnations. There is always the option of coloured silk flowers as opposed to fresh of course, and I would mix them with creamy-white blooms for a fresh light look. Have fun!

Why do certain flowers bloom in different seasons. I have noticed there are more blue flowers in winter!?
Photoperiodism ... short day versus long day plants. The different groups having different periods also aid in pollenation. Check out http://home.comcast.net/~john.kimball1/B... as a starting place. As for blue flowers I have not noticed that bias.
Why do certain flowers bloom in different seasons. I have noticed there are more blue flowers in winter!?
It's all about pollination. The color blue is an optical illusion that takes place in our vision. Pollinators such as insects see it differently and the flower color is probably evolved to allow them to see the nectarie markings that guide them to the nectar and thusly the pollen or pollen receptacle. as for more blue flowers in winter, that must be a personal observation based on your area. In thinking about the few flowers that open in winter in central Illinois, it seems they are mostly white and non native; like helebore and daphne.
Reply:Depends on their life cycles. A lot of annuals can't begin to grow until spring is warm enough, then reach a flowering stage by late spring/early summer. Some flowers need a particular daylength, as stated. Here in Australia, there are a lot fewer 'seasonal plants' especially in desert regions.
Rain in the desert is very unpredictable, as soon as there is heavy rain whatever the season a lot of plants flower so the seed will have some chance of moist soil.
