Blue Brown
Posted on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 at 8:33 pmWhat color flowers with chocolate brown and cornflower blue?
The bridesmaids chose their dress and colors... chocolate brown with cornflower blue trim and sash. And my dress is "diamond white" (or ivory/ off white). So... any suggestions on colors (or types) for the flowers? (Bouquets, corsages, centerpieces, etc.?) I'm also using chocolate brown tablecloths with blue/brown/ivory striped runners for the reception, and the ceremony is in a church with mostly "buff" colors and wood accents. THANKS!
For your bouquet, I would go with ivory roses, and cornflower blue accent flowers. The the chocolate brown could be incorporated with some dried filler and/or ribbon. Depending on what style your dress is, make sure the bouquet complements it. An elaborate gown should be paired with a simple bouquet, like a hand or arm over a cascading or teardop. A more simple gown could be paired with the bigger bouquets.
The the bridesmaids could go with the blue flower as the main, and accent with the ivory roses, brown filler, and ribbons.
The groom should defiantly have the ivory in his boutonniere and the blue accent flower.
Maybe dyed blue roses for the groomsmen. Or the ivory without any accent. They should be smaller than the grooms boutonniere.
Mother corsages, your mom could have one color and
his mom could have the other in the roses so that they stand out. Coordinate the fathers to their spouses. The accent color is up to you whether or not you would want the mother's corsages and father's boutonnieres to have one or more flowers. The more flowers you add, the bigger they get.
For centerpieces, try alternating each table. Once with ivory and blue accents, the next with blue and ivory accents. Keep the brown filler for the centerpieces.
