Need help with wedding flowers?

My wedding dress is http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns... and my brides maids are wearing clover. The sash as of now is pink pearl, but that is always subject to change. I'm looking for flowers that are full of bold color and all kinds of color. I did some google searches, but I can't seem to find anything close to what I want. My mom and I are building the boquets ourselves to save money. Any suggestions?

Need help with wedding flowers?
Here are a few pictures that you can look at. Maybe they will give you some good ideas for colors. I tried to look for bold and jewel toned colors...so hopefully this is something what you had in mind. I picked a lot of things that had the Gerbera Daisies in them since I love that flower. Hope that this will help! Good luck and congratulations! =)

Reply:Clover? as in green? If you want to look at lots of different types of flowers go to sites like proflowers, ftd, and 800flowers. I love bouquets that contain lots of color also. Lilies are a good choice, delphiniums, tulips and irises all have good color. Good luck
Reply:DAY LILIES ARE NICE THEY COME IN COLORS,LOTS OF FOLAGE, AND PINK PEARL RIBBONS, IRIS ARE IN BOLD COLORS AND ARE VERY NICE
Reply:definitely put some reds and yellows in there, or even blues. if you look at a color wheel, the colors that are next to green are colors that compliment green. the colors opposite from it are colors that most "agitate" green (not in a bad way!). it really depends on the effects you want. if you choose reds and green, it'll create a really bold look. choosing colors next to your primary one is going to create a soft look.
Reply:Well, the thing is that it really depends on your style. Are you into carnations %26amp; roses (formal) or are you into orchids %26amp; ginger (tropical)?





So, here it is. If our tastes aren't the same it's okay, I'm just trying to help. I will be wearing white/ivory also and my bridesmaids are also wearing clover. My wedding will be outdoors so I'm going more tropical %26amp; using fuchsia orchids as the main flower w/ accents of orange, like dahlias.





You said bold. And when bold is what you want, you need to consult a color wheel. The colors that are actually the most complimentary, are the colors that are exact opposites on the color wheel. If you look, you'll see that fuchsia is green's opposite. Then, to add another color, you simply choose a color between the two opposites that you already chose. You'll see that my orange is in the middle of fuchsia %26amp; green. That's how you get that "pop" effect.





If you don't like orchids just pick another flower you like. But, my vote is for fuchsia!

Reply:I work at David's Bridal and that is an AWSOME dress.





My mom and I are having "issues" about flowers too. We can't agree! LOL Anyhow, I would say a nice light pink rose (to go with the sash)...maybe some bold gerbara daisies; bold lillies; some austramaria's; depending on when your wedding is, tulips (they are VERY bold).





Hope that helps!
Reply:LOVE the dress. Not sure about flowers but it looks like you've got LOTS of good suggestions already!!
Reply:I made my bouqet myself as well. I just picked my wedding colors, went to wal-mart and found flowers in those colors, went home and made it and it turned out beautiful. I would just go and find the flowers and colors you like and it will all come together. However, just curious, if your bridesmaids are wearing clover, then shouldn't your sash be clover, or at least a more bold color to match rather than the pearl pink? Just an idea, whatever you like is what matters.
Reply:Hydrangea comes in a pretty green and you can find several flowers with pink (roses, lilies, peonies). Try http://www.brides.com/weddingstyle/decor... for some examples.
