I carried blue and white hydrangeas and white lilies, stamens carefully removed. I'm ALLERGIC to lilies but if you take out the stamens, no problem. Besides, they bleed all over the flower over time and makes the flower ugly.

I had very light blue hydrangeas, white roses, and white violets (for ZTA, of course). My maid and matron of honor had blue hydrangeas (darker than mine, but not dark-dark... apparently darker blue hydrangeas are not native to the US). The flower girls had puff balls (pomades? pom-poms? I forget the real name) of blue hydrangeas. The boutonnieres were all sprigs of hydrangeas as well.

Obviously don't have my flowers yet, lol, but...I originally wanted nothing but bold, purple flowers like this:

But then I learned about stephanotis flowers: http://pinterest.com/pin/47147127318584520/ (the white ones)
Apparently it's somewhat a tradition to use stephanotis flowers for just the bride and groom. I thought that was cute and now I'm considering putting them in my bouquet and his boutonniere.

Still don't have any pictures!! All of our bouquets were presentation style, with deep pink and white larkspar-type flowers, blue hydrangas, one large deep pink cabbage rose, and tons of magnolias! The church was ugly with magnolias!

I carried black magic roses hand tied with off white ribbons. My matron of honor carried white roses with cream ribbon. My flower girl carried a nosegay of white roses with a opened black magic rose in the middle.

^^^I had all roses - dark red, orange, and white. My bridesmaids had dark red & orange roses, no white.
