jennyss :
I’m looking for flowers for bouquets, decorations, and centerpieces. Would like to know some good flowers, preferably some I could order online and make my own arrangements. I’m getting married in May, so I’m looking for flowers that would be in bloom at that time. Thanks!

tulips, try something a little different.
Any white flower can be tinted. Take your pick.
Gerbera Daisies, they come in all different colors, but there are a couple of shades of pink. They are somewhat of a larger daisy, very pretty. I am using them for my wedding in all different colors.
I too got married in May, although quite some time ago. I had great results with tulips for bouquets and peonies for centerpieces. Both are in bloom in May and, because the peonies themselves are such a large flower (about 3 + inches across), they are terrific to make simple, but lush, centerpieces with lots of greenery.
Be sure to specify light pink, as both peonies and tulips come in lots of shades or pink.
Roses tulips and carnations are the first ones you think of…but most white flower can be tinted to a shade of pink by mixing up food coloring with water…. try it to see if it works first but I’d go to a floral market and see what is available, you’d really be surprised at the flowers that are out there that you’d never think of or plain didn’t know about. Good Luck!!!!
i do floral design on the side. i would suggest walmart, michaels crafts, hobby lobby. how about soft pinkish mauve colored roses with baby’s breath and some ivy? please email me and i can send you more ideas
Light pink tea roses would be very elegant.
Roses, carnations, tulips, lillies.
Pink gerber daisies are really cute.. They come in like every color imaginable… I’m also getting married in May and I’m using a dusty pink colored gerber daisy.
roses…and congrats!
Peonies are lovely and come in many shade variations. Happy wedding to you!
For clothes or for flowers or for everything in general? (Colours cover a LOT at a wedding!).
For clothes – red and gold is a nice striking combination, but I think it is more appropriate to the winter months. For a spring wedding, soft yellows and blues. For summer – pretty much anything you like! Autumn – blues and lilacs, the cooler end of the spectrum.
I would say don’t go for the whole theme of pink – even though I love pink myself – simply because it just doesn’t suit a lot of bridesmaids and they aren’t too happy about having hundreds of photos of themselves looking like a wrapped sweet.
Yellow is a good colour – particularly if your flower arrangments refelct this by including lots of big sunflowers in them. Striking and cheerful!
To state the obvious – only go for what you and your partner are happiest with, even if it’s nothing like what I’ve mentioned or whatever anyone else says is “good”. It’s up to the married couple, after all!

What about orchids? They are very classy and bloom several times a year. Congratulations!
