<title>Afloral&#039;s Wedding Flowers Blog : Summer Brights</title>
<link>http://blog.afloral.com/categories/summer-brights/#IDComment138665653</link>
<description>You have chose a lot of bright colors.  For your groom I would use an iris and accent with a spray of freesia  and incorporate the third color with the ribbon you choose.  If you are using all white flowers for your bouquet, start with 3 stems of hydrangea &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/eIYwSD,&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/eIYwSD,&lt;/a&gt; 3-5 lilies, freesia &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/ewki1e,&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/ewki1e,&lt;/a&gt; 3-5 iris &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/g5gQqm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/g5gQqm&lt;/a&gt; and delphinium &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/g2AqaQ&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/g2AqaQ&lt;/a&gt;.  If you wanted to add color, you could mix it up with blue/purple.  </description>

<description>I love the concept of the horizon blue and the sterling jewelry.  I would go for the all hot pink bridal bouquet (peonies or even gerbera daisies) but I am partial to hot pink.  I am not sure about the fern green and mixing the gold with silver.  l have seen ties that have a diagonal pattern maybe try to find one that has both the blue and hot pink.    </description>

<title>Afloral&#039;s Wedding Flowers Blog : Jillian&#039;s Sangria and Fall Color Wedding Inspiration Board</title>
<link>http://blog.afloral.com/citrus-and-sunset-colors/jillians-sangria-and-fall-color-wedding-inspiration-board/#IDComment135836184</link>
<description>The color you chose are perfect for a fall wedding.  The Sangria will look great with the chocolate/khakis.   You can add variations of the colors but you have to be careful.  Too many colors sometime make it harder to make everything coordinate properly together.  I will give the link to our category Silk Flowers by Color &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/fgn7Tl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/fgn7Tl&lt;/a&gt; and the link to our premade Bridal Bouquets &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/9rPxZq&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/9rPxZq&lt;/a&gt;.  Let me know what you thing!!  </description>

<link>http://blog.afloral.com/radiant-reds-and-wines/lorethas-black-and-cream-wedding-inspiration-board/#IDComment132359840</link>
<description>We have a huge selection of neutrals &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/cyx9IS&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/cyx9IS&lt;/a&gt;.  Hydrangeas and peonies would be a great alternative to the roses.  You could use a soft peach or yellow to accent or keep it all cream and just accent with greenery &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/fK6ChG&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/fK6ChG&lt;/a&gt;.  </description>

<description>Tropicals look great with these colors &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/cn28Ji&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/cn28Ji&lt;/a&gt;.  We have a wide selection of orchids.  If you like roses you can use a mixture of colors: pinks &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/g8RQts,&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/g8RQts,&lt;/a&gt; oranges &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/eZEa8t&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/eZEa8t&lt;/a&gt; and creams &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/adfQur&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/adfQur&lt;/a&gt;.  </description>

<description>I think you have picked the perfect colors for a beach wedding.  You can go two ways:  Use the Horizon as a bold statement and do a bouquet with all blue hydrangeas &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/fYNPpG&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/fYNPpG&lt;/a&gt; or a bouquet in all neutrals &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/e1zNpm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/e1zNpm&lt;/a&gt; is just as stunning.  A mixture of whites and creams &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/cyx9IS&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/cyx9IS&lt;/a&gt; will look fabulous!!  Hydrangeas are a personal favorite of mine and they can be mixed with some large open roses &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/adfQur&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/adfQur&lt;/a&gt; or peonies &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/fl1bTW&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/fl1bTW&lt;/a&gt;. You can use silver ribbon &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/i8s3ly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/i8s3ly&lt;/a&gt; to wrap the bouquet handles.  </description>

<description>We are finding that our brides&amp;#039; are loving the bright colors.  Guava is looks great with tropical flowers &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/cn28Ji&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/cn28Ji&lt;/a&gt; or you can use it as an accent and choose neutral colors (Ivory/Cream) &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/cyx9IS&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/cyx9IS&lt;/a&gt;.  </description>

<description>It depends on the pews.  You may be able to attach with ribbon by weaving it through the handles.  If that is not possible you may have to use pew clips. &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/fWu5eN&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/fWu5eN&lt;/a&gt;   </description>

<description>Orchid&amp;#039;s and calla lilies make a beautiful bouquet and they are very easy to arrange in a cascading bouquet &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/fJmOjr&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/fJmOjr&lt;/a&gt; .  A single calla lily would be perfect boutonniere &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/gaxJKk&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/gaxJKk&lt;/a&gt; .  If you are looking for tall bold centerpieces you can mix the heliconia, birds of paradise, orchid etc.  For an elegant look mix orchids and calla lilies together.  </description>

<description>We carry our sunflowers year round  &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/hLVEhU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/hLVEhU&lt;/a&gt;.  I would accent with a smaller blue flower, such as an iris, cornflower or cosmos or use a blue ribbon to wrap the bouquet.  Here is everything we offer in blue &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/ePg0Uf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/ePg0Uf&lt;/a&gt;.  If you love lime green you could add it to your bouquet, but the blue and yellow would great together.  </description>
