I don't have an specific recommendations, but here is awesome site to help you pick something out.
Here are some great green flowers: http://thebridescafe.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/04/post-9.html
Cymbidium orchids would be nice because it's very contemporary. You can also consider calla lillies which are quite green in the stem, and have a little white which is also really contemporary.
Don't be scared to explore green carnations. I really had to do a double take when I went to a 5 star hotel recently and saw centerpieces at each table consisting of green carnations in a square vase. When closely bunched, it gives a really contemporary look. I could e-mail you a picture of that if you would like. :)
Hi Brookem,
Since your color scheme is brown and green, you could also do some type of white flowers- hydranga maybe (I also think they can look green if they aren't in full bloom) since the stem and leaves will be green.
i did green and white arrangements for my FSIL's wedding. i used bells of ireland, white hydrangea, white roses and green hypericum. they gave a clean look to the reception, even though the flowers are somewhat more traditional. pm me if you want pics! i have to scan them in still.
i would stay faaaaar away from green carnations. they don't occur in nature and ensuring that they're dyed properly would be really hard for you to do. i'm just afraid they'll end up looking like a first grade science fair project.

I have a green-related color scheme. Green orchids, bells of ireland, green mums (button, spider), there are completely green calla lillies.
bells of ireland, green goddess calla lilies, you might even be able to do some nice arrangemetns with clover or grass for centerpieces.
My flowers are green and cream. Cream and green roses, green and white hydrangea, and green cymbidium orchids.
Green cymbidium or dendrobium orchids, green spider mums, green anthuriums

Do a google image search of "green bouquet" and lots of great stuff will come up if you need pictures to take to your florist!
My wedding was all white roses, hydrangeas, mums, tulips and parrot tulips, green hypericum. I just saw a wedding on a blog with all bells of Irelands and it was gorgeous, all green goddess callas look fabulous too. You can also try the "antique" hydrangeas that have a hintof pink and green and cream in them. My BMS dresses were brown and the green parrot tulips popped so good in all the pics. I can definetly recommend you try color in your bouquet if your dress is white and thiers are of any color. Good Luck!
Try Bells of Ireland, green mums or green hydrangea. You can even find green orchids. As for brown there are some great ones out there. There are brown cosmos, chocolate dahlias and zinnias. Oh, and there are green roses if you want something a little more traditional.
i love all green bouquets! i considered doing something like this bouquet for mine. it's very green & very modern. it's from the wedding of anne & ryan from theknot.com. it's green bear grass, spider mums, Kermit mums, hydrangea, and some other green blooms.
Thank you so much ladies! Bells of Ireland are wonderful. I will haveto use them. I really liked the idea of using clover, too. I could find a picture of "chocolate dahlias", though ... does anyone have a pic? This helped me a lot. I wasn't sure if I was going to go with the green flowers but now I will FOR SURE! Thsnk you goldtome for the pic.
Thanks!
Our color scheme was chocolate brown and hunter green. We brought in a lot of white to lighten it up. I didn't want the dark colors to get too heavy. Here's a pick of the bouquet I did myself... http://s246.photobucket.com/albums/gg113/jeremyandbonnie/?action=view¤t=DSC_2092.jpg I used one green hydreagea bloom as the base, green limbo roses, green hypernicum, white gerber daisies and a few sweet peas for sentimental reasons. I then wrapped the stems in 2" wide chocolate brown satin ribbon. I was super duper happy with them! We used wheat grass that we grew ourselves (so easy!!!) in wooden window boxes that my husband made for decoration on the buffet tables. Good luck!!

Hello Ladies!
My wedding colors are Moss Green and Chocolate Brown. What should I do about flowers? I have had white suggested, which I will keep in my back pocket, but I would prefer something contemporary, fresh and green! I have seen some great bouquets/centerpieces, but I don't have pictures to take to my florist (and to use for myself - just to be SURE) Anything would help. Suggestions? Pictures would be fabulous!
