My wedding dress is nude and black, what colour flowers should I go for?
I'm a bit clueless!

I'd be tempted to go for something like this; maybe less structured depending on the style of your dress.

That is lovely!
I'm torn between a real pop of colour, or maybe just ivy and grasses type thing.

Is the dress more nude or black? I imagined it more black like this but might've gone for something greener if the main colour was nude Grin

How orangey is the nude colour in the dress?

Which colours do you like, out of yellows; apricot/peach; oranges; pale pink; stronger deeper pinks; purples?

You could go with one of those with the green ivy and other foliage. Best to ask the florist!

That's a gorgeous frock!
I like the purple flowers above, or a deep velvety red rose bouquet would work too. I think you need a neat sculptural shape, nothing trailing or droopy.
Are you wearing a hat or anything in your hair?

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 06/08/2014 18:42

I would go for a few tall calla lillies tied together with some rope.... will find a pic

AnaisB · 06/08/2014 18:42

Peachy to pink like this? Quite structured would probably be better than a free form "cottage garden" style as the dress is quite sophisticated imo.

I think the most relevant thing is the month of the wedding?

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 06/08/2014 18:45

ike this but rope/twine rather than a satin binfld.

Stunning dress - am sticking with the purple idea - it would look so sophisticated.

OsloGin · 06/08/2014 18:48

Such a great dress! Definitely like the idea of structured flowers.

mumtosome61 · 06/08/2014 18:49

Yes, when is the wedding? A winter wedding would really suit red. I also like the ideas of lillies - although be careful of the pollen.

A white flower and a strong colour in smaller quantities combined I reckon would look nice. I adore that dress!

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 06/08/2014 18:57

Wow, stunning dress!

I agree with the darker/bolder colours myself. It does depend a lot on what is seasonally available and what your florist would do, so I'd canvass florists first if you have a date set!

Allalonenow · 06/08/2014 19:08

Orchids in cream with maroon/purple mottling would work well.

I think if you use twine rather than ribbon to bind then you should use a very fine one, or it will be at odds with the lace and satin of the frock, which is very sophisticated and glamourous.

If you are thinking of light coloured flowers I'd use creams and pale greens rather than white.

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 06/08/2014 19:16

Maybe a simple orchid spray with some bear grass?
Very structured and lots of colour choices which don't depend on season.
Maybe something like the Cymbidium Orchids, Wax Flower, Eustoma, Bear Grass and Galax Leaves or the Grevillea, Leatherleaf, 'Captain Rosette' Calla Lillies and 'Upper Secret' Roses on THIS LINK
They're on the third row down, left and right sides.

Or, anthurium and fern, with a colour of your choice (as opposed to the white)

How about purple lillies. They look kinda art deco like.
