I have a question about the color of the flowers.  My dress is white; the bridesmaids' dresses are hunter green, and the vest colors of the groomsmen are gold.  I was considering peachy color flowers, until we picked out the gold vests.  I do not know how to go about the color of flowers now.  I am not using a florist, my uncle is a supplier and I am getting the flowers through him and a friend is arranging them
 


With the colors that you mention, you might want to use
ivory and yellow flowers for your attendants' bouquets with accents of
another color, such as lavender or pink or even blue.  The peach could look too orange with the gold vests.

For your bouquet, you will want to use darker shades so that the flowers
show up in the wedding pictures rather than blending into your gown.  You might use deeper shades of yellow and you can also add accent color.

You might try doing an on-line search of some of the wedding directories and look at the colors of bouquets so that you get a feel for what you like, both in color combinations and in flower sizes and types.  There are so many lovely flowers, everything from roses to daisies, to lilies.  There is a yellow calla lily that is quite striking if you like calla lilies.

Best wishes to you.
