Which flowers for a black and white wedding?

I've decided to have a black and white wedding. I'll be in white, all the bridesmaids in black dresses of their choice, and the groom and groomsmen in black tuxes. What kind and color of flowers should I have for the bouquet, boutonnière, alter, and centerpieces?

Which flowers for a black and white wedding?
Calla lillies is definately the way to go.. All your bridesmaids could have white...

and you could have black as a great contrast to your dress or white with lots of greenery.

Check out all the pics for some ideas.





You can even use mini callas for buttonholes.

And a mix of both colours or one colour as centrepieces. Black on white table cloths would look great.

These napkin "rings" are great too... you can carry the calla theme on to favours, candles etc

Reply:good luck but find white and black rose but the first answer was gREAT!!


or daisys
Reply:Well, you could go with different types of all white flowers, like peonies, roses, etc. Or you could have a splash of color so that the flowers stand out more. You could have a mostly white bouquet with a pinkish accent flower, even if its a small one, just to break up the white. Red is also a nice choice, Its bold and goes beautifully with both black and white.
Reply:I'd do something dramatic like orchids
Reply:I would go with bold colors for the flowers. Reds, purples, teals. Something like that. Even those very bright daisy will look nice. If done with white flowers.
Reply:Anything red would be stunning. You could mix red and a little white too- white hydrangeas are great or if you like red roses. You can find almost any flower in red or white
Reply:cala lillies
Reply:I think any color you like will work. I think red would look really cool with black and white. It would pull it all together.
Reply:I would go with something dramatic, and red. Calla Lilies, Roses, Gerbera Daisies... It's going to look stunning!





Good luck, and Congratulations!!!
Reply:I had a black and white wedding and the clothing was like you described. We had the tiniest splash of green too. I carried black calla lilies, the girls carried white roses sprinkled with green orchids, the groomsmen wore green orchid boutonnieres, the groom wore a white orchid boutonniere, and the centerpieces were white orchids.
Reply:For a bright color accent - red or hot pink roses.





To keep it black and white, use white Rananculus mixed with Stephanotis (with black headed straight pin instead of white).

Stephanotis...http://weddings.theknot.com/ODB/themes/s...





The Rananculus are less expensive than the peonies, but just as beautiful.





The Stephanotis with the black will give you a black and white bouquet. Wrap it with black ribbon or use it to make pomanders for the bridesmaids with a black hanging handle for an addes touch...I like pomanders for black and white weddings!
Reply:I would have to say any color/flower! My brother and sister in law also had a black and white wedding, and had gorgeous red roses :) they popped out in every photo!! It looked amazing!
Reply:i did the same thing--turned out GORGEOUS! i had white calla lilies, some other small white flowers, and lots of trailing greenery. stay with white. the natural greenery is the best accent color.
Reply:I think any color can be nice. Something really bright (red, pink, yellow) or really pale (light pink, baby blue, lavender) would be really dramatic and pretty.
Reply:most deff... i love the white peony





here is a picture...they are so pretty.

Reply:Red roses would bring out the withe and black theme...
Reply:white roses or callilies, you can sparkle black dust, or something on them for the black and white look.
Reply:Oh I am so happy you went with black and white. My colors too ya know. LOL. Same with the dresses as well.


Well a charlotte red bouquet of roses would look great for you and white roses with stephanotis for the maids.Red rose boutonniere for your groom and white ones for the groomsman. For my centerpieces I am doing 3 roses with some hanging greenery. I have the extremely tall vases for them to go in, well the venue does actually. For the altar I would use a mix of all the flowers you are using. Roses are always classic. Well I am partial to that because that's what I am doing. HeHe. If you don't like these colors/ideas you could use some pretty pinks,oranges, yellows in a mix of different flowers. Those would definitely stand out against the black.


I am having trouble with pics for ya but here is one not that great of a pic though

Reply:My wedding is March 29th of this year and this is my exact theme. I am carring deep red roses in somewhat of a ball, and my bridesmaids are carring white ones. The boutonnieres are red except the groom and the dads have white!





congrats!
