Colour themes- flowers?

Hi there, my fiance and I are getting married next august and have decided on a blue colour theme, so we%26#039;ll be ranging from the very pale to fairly dark. Now apart from blues and whites can anyne recommend any flower colours (or types of flower) that I can include, I just can%26#039;t think. Thought a baby pink might be pretty...

Colour themes- flowers?
Gypsophila or Baby%26#039;s Breath is tiny frothy and white sprays and in the Victorian Language of Flowers it symbolised %26#039;Everlasting love%26#039; and %26#039;the pure in heart%26#039;, its available in August too.





This would provide a nice backdrop for pink roses, also the right season, which symbolise %26#039;happiness perfected%26#039; in the language of flowers. Also roses were the traditional flower of weddings from roman times and their petals were sprinkled over the bridal bed as an aphrodisiac.





So hows that for a starter, a bit of good symbolism as well as colour for your wedding.





By the way the best wishes to you both for a happy, loving and enduring future; and a fabulous wedding day too.
Reply:In the colour spectrum, blue is regarded as a %26quot;cold%26quot; colour. Blues and %26quot;baby pink%26quot; are fine for an expected baby or a Christening, but not for a wedding. Think of the main theme of the wedding, is it formal, family friendly, or a fun day of celebration? What colour is your gown, your attendants gowns? Will you share the same flower design? How big is the venue? How much are you prepared to spend? Is the Church to be decorated? Also, is the same theme to be used on parents, groom and ushers etc? This is about so much more than a %26quot;blue colour theme%26quot;. Best advice? Save your money on all the fancy trappings and concentrate on having a wonderful day with your family and friends. Do it on the cheap, if more couples put as much effort into their marriage as they do in to their weddings they might last longer. A good wedding is but one day, a good marriage is for a lifetime. Sorry if I have burst your bubble, but get things into perspective hun. No wonder so many men call it off at the last lap, the %26quot;wedding%26quot; can often appear more important than them. Good luck, I wish you both many happy years together, just remember what and who are most important. xxxx
Reply:yellow would be pretty with blue and white. Light pink would also be good. Types of flowers- yellow roses, white roses, white lillies, yellow or white calla lillies, blue roses (roses can be died to a certain color), iris (come in yellow, blue, white and combos of colors on one flower).
Reply:you could try lilacs and deeper shades of purple and creams match well , go for things like cream roses and cornflowers or cream roses and forget me nots in small bunches have a lovely aroma and look gorgeous simply tied with ribbon ..or even introduce silver into the colour scheme ..ad crystal stems to your flowers etc

Reply:a blue theme? blue seems so sad and depressing. your wedding day is suppose to be the best day of your life.. make the color theme something bright and cheerful.. yellow. pink. something more happy then blue..
Reply:Yellow would look nice. I think I would stay away from the baby pink because that wouldn%26#039;t look nice with the darker blues.
Reply:Violets?, Bluebells?
Reply:use some cute yellow flowers... or mix yellow and pink... theyll really pop out against all this blue!
