    Are you going with a florist, or DIYing? I was planning on ordering all my flowers from 50flowers, but the picture they show on there for amnesia roses looks so much different than ALL others I've seen. Seems like a much darker purple than it should be or something.

    @krissybee: yes, those are them!

    @honeybun: we were going to DIY, but we found a freelance florist to assemble for us. You might want to check locale wholesale flower markets if there is one you can get to; apparently amnesia roses are getting *really* popular and you can find them in the (wholesale) markets.

    honeybun,

    I would recommend doing a trial first, with that specific varietal of roses, so you can see how long it takes them to open, and make sure you like the color in person.  I did DIY flowers from fiftyflowers.com for our wedding on October 10th, and they turned out beautifully, but one shade of the flowers (the lavender ones) opened much faster than the pinks, creams and peaches.

    These are like the ones Mrs. Perfume used, right?  They are so beautiful!  (And I am such a Mrs. Perfume stalker, haha.)

    @jhphi:  thanks for that advice - i will def. do that.  I was leaning that way anyways, but now I know I really do need to see them in person first.

    Yes, that's what I used in my wedding (hahaha, Mouse!). They don't look great in person, but photograph REALLY well!

    I just used them last month in a wedding. 

    They are very very antique looking, outer petals are green.

    They for sure have a "dirty" color so be sure you want that kind of effect.

    I LOVE amnesia roses.  They didn't go with our color scheme but I would use them in a heartbeat if I could.  So pretty.
