I’m getting married on 2/20/10 and I was looking for some ideas for winter wedding flowers. My colors are light pink and espresso brown. I obviously know that roses are always in season, and they will be the staple flower in the bouquets, but I’m also looking for some supplemental flowers for the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. I want to stay away from red flowers (too cliche around Valentine’s Day) and I like the more traditional blooms. Also, I live in Minnesota, if that makes a difference regarding my selection. Thanks in advance!

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.

Imagine sending your loved one a lush bouquet of red roses with a stray striped carnation on it. You would basically be sending the person you love a confused message of deep love and a refusal to be with her at the same time. Even though all these things may seem a thing of the past, small remnants of the meaning of flowers are still present with us to this very day.
