Wedding Flowers

danielle asked:


i would like to use blue dyed dendrobium orchids in my wedding bouquet, but i’m worried the dye will rub off and ruin my dress. i’ve never used dyed flowers before, so i was wondering if anyone knows more about the subject– do they always rub off or just when they’re wet? do they stain?
what would you recommend doing?

I am getting married and I really want to have a floral bouquet, but I don’t really want to kill a bunch of flowers to have it, I’ve thought about carrying potted plant, but I don’t know how to do that with out it being incredibly awkward. any ideas, suggestions?

I’m seriously running out of money for my wedding and I’ve heard that using fake flowers for a bouquets can look nice and save a lot of cash (especially if I them it together myself). We are having a fall theme. Any opinions or suggestions?

I want to know how much it cost you to have flowers at your wedding. I am thinking about having roses.

How much did it cost you to have flowers at your wedding? What type of flowers, and was it through a florist.

Now on a second note, I know how to make boutonnieres and corsages on my own, and bouquets.. So we were just gonna by bunches of roses and do it ourselves. =) I am trying to figure how much we are saving based on how much you guys spent on flowers for your wedding.

I’ve been asked to use real hydrangeas on a wedding cake that I will make and I just want to know if there is a proper method to prepare the flowers for arrangement on the cake. I don’t want to just cut the stems and stick the flower in the cake. I’m being mindful of the fact that the cake will most definitely be consumed. I don’t want the wedding guests to get sick.

My FI and I are pushing our wedding back from a year and a half away to two years away (for financial reasons).

The problem with this is that we’ll now have a January of February wedding (at the beginning of 2011).
We’re from the Chicago area so both months are verrrry cold! I know that buying in season flowers save money, but what flowers could we get in the winter time?

In the beginning, we were going to have a brown and blue May wedding with blue hydrangeas, but I am open to changing our color scheme.

I love daisies! They are my favorite flower and they have them all over my parents land growing wild and very pretty. My mom wants to make my flowers for the back home reception for my destination wedding to save money. She used to work at a flower shop. How well do you think this would work with red and white as the wedding colors? Or at this time of the summer?

I really want to do lillies for my wedding and my dad is trying to cut corners with money. Well he came up with the idea of ordering them from Costco and then having someone make the arrangments. Would this really save money? Has anyone every ordered flowers from costco? How did they turn out?
