Bouquet questions 2 questions?

We’re having a very small casual ceremony only 4 adults and 2 kids in 18 days and I still haven’t picked out the flowers for my bouquet. I’m wearing a pretty floral dress with both bright (almost fuchsia) flowers and soft pink flowers with a sheer black overlay top, very casual.





I want my flowers to match my dress, I know I can get soft pink roses, but what about the bright pink?..what kind of flower is bright pink? …and I don’t want carnations.





Second question…my bridesmaid and my fiancé’s best man are married to each other and the kids (girls) are the only ones left to throw the bouquet to, so I was thinking, If I chose just light pink roses, say about five of them, I could hand one to every girl, keep one for myself for that day and place the other in a book….how does that sound?

various roses come in all shades of pink - talk to your florist about maybe do a variety of pink roses - if you want the pale and bright pinks.





I definately like the idea of passing out the flowers - very classy touch to a small wedding.
Reply:A bouquet of mixed white, light pink and dark pink lisianthus. I think the second idea is lovely.
Reply:First question for bright pink flowers - Gerber Daisies beautiful bright pink.......or Tiger Lillies,Stargazers too





Secon question for bouquet throw - Your idea is wonderful.
Reply:You could check with the florist about special-ordering bright pink roses (I've seen the spray-type in florist catalogs), or try bright pink gerbera daisies. They don't have a smell, but they are cheerful and more casual than roses. How about stargazer lilies, which shade from white to bright pink? (Make sure that the florist cuts off the stamens so they don't stain your clothes.) Bright pink orchids are also a possibility.





Go down to the florist RIGHT NOW and see what they have available, or check with an online place like florist.com.





Re the second question: there's no need, particularly for a small wedding, to throw the bouquet. What you propose sounds very sweet. You could even order extra single roses to hand to your girls without having to dismantle your bouquet, if you wanted to. I wish you luck.
Reply:Hi and congratulations!





OK....I had to read your question a couple of times to get it. So you will dismantle your bouquet and give each girl a rose (3 total), keep one, and preserve one. That is a great idea!





My suggestion would be to get to a florist! Unless you want to do your bouquet yourself. I love roses also, so I would stick with roses. For a small bouquet I would go with one shade of pink only (mixed with some greens). Since your dress has some bright flowers in it, I would go with a pale or medium colored pink rose. Go to a florist and see what they can get for you.





Do you want your groom to have a boutonniere? They are usually only around $10.





Good luck!
Reply:i cant answer your first question because i dont know flowers very well





but your second question... your idea of handing out the flowers, sounds really nice and i think the girls will love it
Reply:First of all your dress sounds lovely! For the bright pink i think gerberas will be awesome! they are a gorgeous pink and will look lovely! they are also quite easy to get now..The idea about the roses sounds great! Best of luck! Wish you all the happiness in the future!
Reply:I honestly can't answer your question about the flowers, but I just had to say that your alternative ot the bouquet toss is wonderful!
Reply:Usually the florist will give you a complimentary bouquet to toss...but your idea of giving the roses to the girls is really cute. Another way, and maybe even a cheap way, would be to get a dozen roses from the grocery store the night before. Wrap a few of them in ribbon and let the girls have them for the ceremony. It will make them feel included.


As for your flowers...why don't you do something like in this picture? You can use the roses and gerbera daisies-the gerbera's are wonderful and affordable. http://www.flowersbyanne.com/cgi-bin/lis...


Or you can use the roses with some nice tulips
