Here is my dress and the bridesmaid dresses; what should I use for flowers?

My dress is being handmade by my mom and is a long halter version of this dress:

Here are my bridesmaid dresses:

http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2963501/0~23...



The colors are black white and yellow. I am a fashion marketing exec so everything is very chic and fashionable because I hate all the cookie cutter looks. I recently changed the whole look of my wedding from vintage to this and now I don't know what to do for flowers. I am doing hurricane vases with lemons for centerpeices because it is an outdoor spring wedding and we are also serving lemon drops as our cocktails. I wanted to offset the black with something really spring and summery! But what flowers should I use? I need more than just one option also, like suggestions for the entire bouquet? Thanks

I would use the gerbera daisies. They come in all different colors and are a very affordable flower. They are simple, but they have a great look to them. You mentioned you were doing the hurricane vases with lemons...here is a picture to give you a little idea on how it might look. I hope this helps. Congrats!

Here is a bouquet that is really amazing with yellow calla lillies and Pincushion flowers in an orange with yellow. They would look amazing against the dresses.



Lillies would always work, but they wilt unbelievably fast, and personally if you have the chik look I wouldn't use them.
Reply:You could use red orange and yellow gerbera daisies, like

This are nothing like a cookie cutter bouquet (you'd have to change the color though)

Another suggestion even though you don't want yellow roses, what if you combined red roses (Love), Orange roses (Desire) and Yellow roses (Friendship %26amp; Joy). I think that would look stunning with your dress and your girls.
Reply:I think gerber daisies would be absolutely gorgeous. Especially yellow and white ones. Maybe throw in some accent colors like some lavender?
Reply:What about white or yellow dahlias, daffodils (mabye a little to orange), lilies, white peonies, yellow tulips.



You could do some white or pale yellow roses, they have so many different types that you wouldn't even know they were roses.

Hope you find something perfect!
Reply:I would go with daffodils!
Reply:With everything being black and white...I would use yellow tulips. The brightness of them would really make them pop! Oh, that would look so cool, very fashionable.



Love the bridesmaid dresses by the way. Your girls will be very pleased that they can wear them again!
Reply:Wow, first time I think I have said this but I LOVE EVERYTHING and I am a picky SOB! I would say yellow and pink is one of my favorite combo's and you could even do a bright hot pink to really give it a trendy kick. I personally would do lots of pink yellow and maybe some orange. I wouldn't do red unless it's an evening wedding and then that would look great.
Reply:How about throwing a few shocking red or orange flowers in there? Along with yellow...even though it means friendship, sometimes that's the most important part of a marriage! And lots of unique whites.



Or have you considered lilies?
Reply:Yellow cymbidium look beautiful in a bouquet on their own -

I also found this bouquet in my search -

It has lemons in it, which would tie in with your centerpieces. It does have yellow roses, but those could easily be replaced with tulips, gerbera daisies, or lilies.
Reply:how about peonies? or, i know this is not very elegant, but what about daffodils? you don't see them much in weddings. or yellow tulips would be gorgeous, especially since they have the black on the inside!!
Reply:daffodils would be interesting. yo ucan do about anything colorful with those dresses.
Reply:Hey,

Thanks for the answer yesterday it really helped but want I think that you should use is colors that will go with black wite and yellow I think that since you are doing a spring theme I think that you should use sunflowers, or daisys or maybe even daffodils? The web address below might help you decide but I have never been good at bouquet designs but I hope the other information helps. Sorry if it doesn't.
Reply:black eye Susans would be really original
Reply:Have you checked out the knot.com? They have a whole section on yellow flowers.



I like this one because it incorporates your lemon centerpieces with orchids, and yellow cottage roses (which look very different from the ones that symbolize friendship): http://weddings.theknot.com/odb/themes/r...

Here's a matching bouquet: http://weddings.theknot.com/odb/themes/r...
Reply:Calla lillies would be an interesting effect and go with the colors that you have chosen..
Reply:I think lilies would be pretty!
Reply:Perhaps oriental lillies and roses? Those can be found in a variety of colors in almost every season.



Edit: You can get white lillies, black roses, and yellow ribbon to tie it all together.

I think either of these sets would work with the style and colors you are going for.
Reply:Gerbra Daisies, they are very summery and come in a rainbow of colors (yellow, red, pink, white, etc...). For your bouquet I would use white roses (in a round bouquet) with a few minature Gerbra Daisies of your color choice to make it pop. I recommend the Gerbra Daisy because they are not used very often and are a beautiful flower.
