I posted this in my other thread....

Flowers! Thanks Gypsy!

I am looking at doing pale green hydrangeas with white roses and a burgurdy or deep purple flower. I think I want something ball shaped. DIY of course, HELP!

(((((HUGS))))))

thanks in advance!

Hi IWPO!

I''m happy to help. Let me post for you tonight from my home computer (which has all my pics).

When you say ball shaped... are you referring to your bouquet, centerpieces or something else?

Bouquet.

My centerpieces are fruit...still looking for a good flower to replace the lily....

Chargers are now silver and larger...

I think that Dalhias are in season around that time.. maybe something like this Victorian dahlia? Or is that too round?

Thanks, I need somethings rustic almost.

Hmm. Not finding anything spot on. But maybe these will give you some inspiration.

You can do burgundy/deep purple accents instead of blue ones (oh,have you seen Sabine''s bouquet? That one would work, with your colors instead). I would do deep burgundy spray roses (dark dark red) if I was DIY.

Ahh... perfect. The burgundy/ dark purple flowers are mini callas.

Oooohhhhhh lovely Gypsy! Now how would I put it together?

http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/wedding-flowers/articles/homemade-bouquets-basics.aspx Has basic instructions that should help. Hydrangeas are pretty large, so decide on the size of your bouquet, then buy the flowers (overbuy, you will break some).

I would do a trial run if you have the time. If you don''t, no worries. Just make sure you have enough flowers on hand in case things get a little wonky.

You''re the best!
