Getting incredibly frustrated with my flowers. How can I combine ivory (dress), burgundy (h2b's jacket) and lilac (invites) in the flowers to create some kind of theme? Was thinking burgundy roses (black Baccarat), grey/blues and grey/mauves in hyacinths and other delicate blooms, and some dark pinks/mauves to tie the burgundy and lilacs together. Do you think that would look too dark against an ivory dress, or do you think it will add a bit of needed colour?

Also, can anyone recommend a modern/stylish florist in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire? Can't seem to find anything beyond the traditional florist outside of London.

Help! G :eeeeek:

Hi sorry cant recommend a florist as I come from Hampshire but no, that doesnt sound too dark. My bridesmaids are also a burgandy colour and my h2b likes yellow roses so I also have dark flowers in my bouquet, probably roses but I dont know which ones!

I think that sounds great! really pretty and will stand out from the dress (otherwise why carry them at all right?)

Hi

I think that sounds really nice. I'm planning on having dark rust coloured bridesmaids dresses and bouquet with an ivory dress.

I think the dark colours will stand out stunningly from the dress!

It sounds lovely!!

Can't help with the florists though, I'm in Cardiff!
