What Flowers Did You Carry in Your Wedding?

Also: very very economical. We got married in November, so there's not a whole lot of "seasonal" things to put in there, and there were lots of browns/autumn colors, so wheat just seemed the most appropriate.

Someone told me about an AOII wedding where they carried sheaves of wheat--their pledge pin is a sheaf.

One daughter is deciding this week what kind of flowers she'll carry in her April wedding. Looks like the bridesmaids will carry lavender, ivory, and green hydrangeas. Another daughter's bridesmaids carried Christmas bouquets of lilies and red hypericum berries; another simply used white freesias.

I love to see hypericum berries used as fillers! These days they come in every color.

Oh, and the current bride will carry something in her colors, maybe ivory or pale green cymbidiums with lavender markings; the second one above carried red roses and the third carried shell pink roses.

Here's mine (I have a pic since I was married 6 1/2 months ago):



I had one yellow rose to represent OphiA and the fact that we got engaged at my sorority's convention.

I also had some hydrangea, lavender roses, among others in my bouquet as well.

Here are the bridesmaids, which were smaller, so although this pic looks like a big bouquet, it's actually about 3 small ones put together in one vase:

I was really picky about my flowers. I had marigolds, zinnias, delphinium, some celosia (aka cockscomb), lisanthus and varigated greenery. I wanted seasonal, regional stuff - we were married in Georgia in August. The guys wore zinnias in their lapels.

This is not one of the "professional" ones, but it should give you a good idea.
