what color flowers
Jason
We are having a military (Air Force) wedding so the male attendants are
going to be wearing their blue dress uniforms. We decided to go with navy
blue and white for our colors so nothing will clash with their uniforms.
The only question we have left is what color to make the flowers. My mother
and I think eith red roses or tulips would be pretty (and it would be
patriotic to go with the military theme), but Jason doesn't like that idea.
Any ideas on what colors to use for the flowers?

Yellow might go good with the blue.

how about a nice, rich yellow or maybe consider using daisies?

It seems like people usually use romantic flowers, such as roses, in their
wedding. However, I was wonder how common it is to use carnations? Wine
and white carnations symbolize a great deal to John and me, and we would
like them to be the primary flowers of our wedding. Would it be difficult
to do this? What other flowers can we use to complement carnations? I
personally love the aroma of freesia. Help!!

Carnations are incredibly easy to get, not to mention inexpensive.
That's why they're typically used as filler in bouquets with roses. No
reason why you can't have a carnation bouquet if that's what's
meaningful to you...
We've been buying supermarket bouquets lately, and everything seems to
go with carnations -- the problem is preventing them from being
over-powered by more dramatic flowers. Small daisies seem to work, as
does statice (purple) and alstromeria (looks like freesia, probably
spelled some way other than what I did). Freesia can be really delicate,
but alstromeria survives almost anything. Small "in season" flowers
would also work with carnations.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using carnations in a wedding. I love
the scent of white carnations and the wine coloured ones are incredibly
intense. The got a bad rap because of how they are used in design. Miniature
carnations are also very nice. If mixed with other flowers like roses,
freesia, alstroemeria, lilies and filler flowers like wax flower and monte
casino you will get a beautiful rich look.

I am a florist who would generally reccomend roses, IF the client doesn't
have any floral favorites. The fact that these special carnations have a
special meaning for you two means you HAVE to use them, it would be great! I
think carnations get a bad wrap, they smell great, they open beautifully, and
they last a long time even without water. What more could you want from a
wedding flower! And I have seen the varigated wine carnation, they are really
different. Maybe instead of babies breath as filler you can use something a
little different like, Monte Casino(September Weed) or white Wax Flower.
White Fresia would be a great flower to combine with these carnations
especially in your bouquet. White Lillies would also be great!
Good Luck!
