I am having a military wedding ,
my fiancι is in the Air Force. We want to have a patriotic theme
and want red white and blue flowers. Can you suggest any flowers
that look good together?
We were thinking of red roses, gardenias (his favorite flower) and
baby's breath dyed blue. What do you suggest?
Your florist can show you pictures
of different types of flowers that you might want to
consider. That will help you get a feel for what you like and
what will look nice together. Delphinium is one flower to
consider.
It comes in either pale blue or a darker blue. Larkspur also
comes in blue. Both are taller, spikier flowers and would
provide a nice contrast to the roundness of the gardenias and
roses. Your florist can cut them down to any length, so
you won't have a long spike protruding from the bouquet, but the
pointed tips and the smaller flowers would provide contrast.
If you want a rounder flower, carnations can be dyed blue.
There is also a filler, similar to baby's breath but with
smaller blossoms, called Misty Blue, that would look nice with
your colors.
You can also use ribbon in your
bouquet in any color that you want, perhaps in all three
colors. It will look lovely, and quite patriotic.
