    Bees -

    My colors are black & white, with teal accents.  I'm going for a classic look with a definite twist towards the modern.  My BM's will be wearing black dresses with teal shoes.

    Here's where I'm hung up... What color or kind of flowers would work well with this color scheme?  Should I stick with simple white bouquets like I orginally thought, or is there a color option out there that might work well?  Since there's no teal flowers (to my knowledge) and I don't like black flowers I'm short on options!

    What do you think?  Have you seen bouquets that I could use for inspiration? Please share!! :)

    OOO, I've seen dark red (roses, callas, dahlias) used in the flowers for weddings with this color scheme - it's such a pop of color and so awesome in pics. 

    I'm sure whatever you choose will be beautiful!  I'll try to find some pics :)

    there are pretty white flowers with black centers, like anenomones - you could do these in a teal vase or a teal table runner.  if you can't find teal vases you like, wrap plain glass cylinders with teal fabric or paper!

    here are some b&w flower inspiration shots that I think are really cute! you could also stick teal feathers in the arrangements to work the color in, or fill glass vases with something teal (beads, polished glass, etc)

    check this post out - she is one of my favorite floral designers, this is the source for the above attached photo, and the whole shoot is Aqua Black and White (not too far off from teal!) I think it's lovely!

    likr the other post you could use the white and black.Anemone Coronaria. If you do all white your florist can spray your flowers teal if you choose. Just a thought :)

    I'm not sure if you like orange but it geives it a nice pop of color with the flowers.

    I do like the Anemone Coronarias but do you think they'll be too trendy? I want to keep my pictures looking timeless....

    I already have non-floral centerpieces planned but want a "wow" bouquet, too! :)

    Keep 'em coming ladies! THANKS SO MUCH.

    I agree that orange would look pretty awesome and give it a nice modern pop.

    I never really considered orange, I'm a redhead so orange is pretty much the color of my hair - lol.  I could do red though, or maybe yellow ...it IS in June so summer colors are an options.
