What Flowers Come In My Color?

Every bride considers flowers for her wedding day...who doesn't want to have some gorgeous flower confection in her hand for all of those photos?! Bouquets are great for so may reasons...it gives such a great color splash, it nods to the style of the rest of your event, and, in the end, it's just something for you to do with your hands! But, what flowers to use?

Can you name any of these?


Most people can pick out a rose, a lily, a tulip and a daisy when you ask them, but there are hundreds of flowers out there and thousands of combinations that you can choose for a simple bouquet, and that can get overwhelming! Google Images is a great way to look up flowers...but you have to already know a name that you can type in before a picture will pop up. So, how does a normal person find fun flowers for their wedding?

Flowers.Org, of course! Flowers.Org is a British site dedicated to everything flowers! Link to their page and you can look up flowers by season, style, and even by color. As you're looking at a list of names that fall within the purple category, you can even click on the name and take a look at a picture of that flower! It's a fantastic site to help the flower fundamentals in putting together some ideas for a unique and beautiful bouquet using more than just roses and daisies.
