Flower help?

I need help with my bridal bouquet. I have a cathedral length train and an all white dress. I want a cascading bouquet. My colors are royal blue and baby blue. Should I have blue flowers in my bouquet, if so, what type? Should I have an all white bouquet? I know it's my day and I can have anything I want, but please give me suggestions, and pics if possible!

Flower help?
All white could be lovely, but adding a few pale blue flowers, or even some deeper blue ones could be absolutely gorgeous as well. If you're doing a cascading bouquet, I love the idea of having some strandsof ivy dropping in the cascade - I think it's just a beautiful effect. Calla lilies or orchids also look lovely in a cascading bouquet.





There are tons of things you could use for white flowers. You could have a few blue irises if you like a touch of darker blue.


Delphiniums come in both pale and deep shades of blue (they can also be purple and white).


Or you could have a number of white flowers tinted blue.





Here's some pictures...

I would probably go with the idea of all white, possibly with a very small amount of blue in it, and a blue ribbon tying it together (do you suppose that could count as your "something blue").





If you are really unsure, I would just do a google image search for cascading bridal bouquets; maybe specify white, and see what it comes up with. If you find a picture of something you like you should be able to approach your florist and ask them to duplicate it.
Reply:I'm partial to the all white bouquet however if you wanted to stick in some baby blue crystals or pearls to add some tone to your flowers that would be really pretty. I'm sorry I don't have photos of it. I think I would stay away from anything too dark up against your white dress otherwise its really going to stick out.
Reply:It depends on the time of year of your wedding as to what is in season. Here are some ideas:





How about some blue hydrangeas, like these:

Or some other blue flowers:

Reply:Hmmmm, not blue flowers they wouldn't go with the dress colour and style. The white bouquet sounds good, may you could have some ivy trailing down? And a blue ribbon to hold the bouquet together :)
Reply:fiftyflowers.com has a bunch of pictures by color, flower, etc. Maybe you can get an idea from them.
