Purple & White Theme/Flowers

Some more from t'internet!

OOoh thank you x. Just love love love the tulips bouquet, so am thinking now..... purple tulips, purple lisianthus, something lilac (to blend the colors), maybe memory lane roses and definately something white, maybe white roses???

Sounds perfecto!

How you feeling today?

Feeling pretty bleurgh... went back to bed about 3pm for an hour and back in it again now, just cant cope with the pain very well so just sitting in bed on laptop lol... the lads are all on the XBox downstairs anyway so have hogged the big t.v lol...

We use a stunning purple rose in the shop - can't remember what its called but its just beautiful... its shown here... it has a real 'antiquey' look about it - vintage I suppose? We actually did a wedding using this 'wild' look with these flowers as the bride wanted natural looking flowers rather than overly stylised, including her bouquet and it was just gorgeous!

ETA - sorry you're not feeling great KBS.... hope you feel better soon! the flowers you've got listed above sound lush - the lisi's in this photo are lovely - but beware that the buds can droop pretty quickly, so we usually snip the tight buds off. The open flowers last fine tho'...

That is pretty gorgeous actually, I love it!! **shouts Sherrie**... lol

Its fab isn't it? So 'easy going' looking but it had a lot of admirers - specially my Mum whose table it ended up on!!

Are you having silk flowers?? just wondering if you're shouting for Sherri!

Yep that is pretty impressive, I have an antique looking Rose similar here:

I wasnt going to have silk flowers but when the florist was giving me grief about sending the quote Sherrie very kindly stepped in to help me...

Sherrie, I love those vintage roses but if Im having cadbury purple BM dresses and table linens will I not need a dark purple in the bouquets/table arrangements or I suppose I can have both the dark purple and the vintage purple together?

Yep ypou can have a mix of the two, purple Lisianthus for the Cadbury Purple. I can show you them all mocked up when you come down but yes we can do anything to tie in.

Sorry to hijack but yellow roses are sentimental to us so I was looking at Ilios roses (lighter yellow) with lizianthus. Yellow will look ok with purple BM dresses and mine in ivory won't it?

Loving that vintagey purple rose!!

Yellow & Purple is one of my favourite colours for a spring wedding and really compliment each other

Oh good! Thank you

x

I had some purple and ivory flowers although this pic doesn't show as many of the purples ones there were actually more of them:

ETA - should have stuck in some of my planning pics:

Gillsy love your flowers!! are they real ones?? x

OOOh yellow & purple, that's our colour scheme, theme is butterflies!

I haven't seen anyone else having this, nice to see beautiful together! xx

I think we're having the same wedding LOL!!

We're having yellow and purple flowers with butterfly theme!!

Having purple BM dresses, groomsmen are in silver suits. my dress is ivory.

Sounds a lot of mis-match there but I'm really hoping it works!!

ha ha. definately sounds like it, we're having purple BM dresses too & grooms in grey; i haven't chosen my dress but was thinking ivory as its kinder than white!! lol

I'm sure it will look lovely!

When are u getting married? We are May 2012!

HAHA!!

that's so strange! makes us wedding twins lol

We're getting married August 2011

can't wait to see it all come together!

Here are some purple & yellow ideas for you:

These were one of my favourites done in Lemon & lilac but could be done using Cadbury Purple & a sunshine Yelloe:

Ah lovely pics, thank you!! I'm trying to find the perfect yellow card at the moment for the stationary but the purple we have chosen is very dark, like the dresses on the pic above!

The pics below i think is how the colours will be

Cadbury Purple with Lemon is gorgeous together always reminds me of Springtime & Iris's , Crocus, Freesias. Now you have my creative juices flowing!

Are the dresses you have an eggplant colour?

LOL, I can't have cadbury purple, my friend is having that!!! lol! But yeah I haven't bought any yet but i think that is probably the best way to describe the colour, I've still got 18 months to go so trying to match my colours properly so I can start making invites Then I can match everything else

Mine is Cadbury Purple.

I'm so tempted by Sunflowers, one of my fave flowers but not sure how it would work as they're such a statement flower and I really want yellow (lemony Ilios) roses as well!

Works perfectly well:

Have found a couple of table arrangements I like, think I prefer the 1st one, can you do this Sherrie? Would I need to supply the goldfish bowl? Not sure how the lights would work though...

I can do the Goldfish bowl the lights are battery operated lights. It depends where you are I have bowls to hire but they would be too heavy to send. I can get them for you & have them sent on if that helps.

I do really like them... how much would we be talking about to buy them and the lights? x.

Email me *****@************.*** and I can give you a quote.

You have mail... x

In love with that top bouquet Sherrie, thank you! Made my mind up for me now ?

KBS - i love that first goldfish bowl with orchids!

As soon as I saw it I thought it was pretty gorgeous... I think I may end up with going for them...
