Silk Gardenia
I need help with flowers for my wedding! HELP!?
I will be getting married in a little over a year. Our colors will be green and black. My Fiance is in the Army, and he will be wearing his Class A's, which are dark green. My dress is white with ivory pearls and embroidery. The groomsmen will be wearing black tuxes. I want to use silk flowers, because I would like black flowers. I was thinking of some sort of black flower, gardenias, and green hydrangeas. Could you tell me what you think about maybe using other kinds of flowers, tell me what types to use, and what color you think the bridesmaid dresses should be, along with an accent color for the dresses? I really like green, white, and black together so I'm sticking with these colors. Also, it will be a summer wedding, so In-Season flowers are preferrable. Thank you very much! Any comments are greatly appreciated!
alright...it doesn't matter if they're in season. they're fake. SORRY ABOUT THAT!
I think the bridesmaids would look great in either black or green (or even black with a green sash or green with a black sash). You could just get them all to buy a black dress that way they get to choose a style that will suit them and they can wear again.
As for flowers:

I love this bouquet with black leaves rather than black flowers- you could tie it with a green ribbon: http://budgetdreamweddings.com/weddingplanning/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/2-title-bouquet-big.jpg
Black calla lillies: http://66.34.224.169/uploads/images/content/CeanOne_bouquet_black.jpg
Black irises: http://www.directgardening.com/large/4210_l.jpg
You could go for real: black leaves or black flowers such as black calla lillies or black irises. Some florists will also dye certain (real) flowers black for you (e.g. Orchids stems can be put into black colouring, which will make the flowers turn black- the same as they do to get blue orchids).
Sometimes silk black flowers can look really fake as they're kind of shiny due to the dark colouring - so look for good quality if you really must go with fake.
I'd also suggest mixing up the black with green or white (or both) just so the bouquets aren't too dark, as they won't photograph as well if you have a whole lot of all black flowers clumped together.
If you were to go for black bridesmaid dresses, I think green and white flowers would look really nice (e.g. the first link above). A green or white flower to go with the black tuxes would also look good, rather than having black on black.
