    Okay so I'm getting married in 3 weeks and I still haven't decided what kind of flowers I want! I know that's awful lol. My colors are turquoise, ivory and royal blue accents. My BM dresses are turquoise. What kind of flowers/colors would look good? Pictures would be great.

    :)

    @Belle2Be: I do too, but I wasn't sure if it would go with turquoise! What do you think?

    Are you working with a florist or DIY?  If you are DIYing, don't get too stuck on a particular flower or plan.  Be open to what the universe might throw at you.

    I did the DIY route and ordered flowers in bulk online and the day before the wedding they called to say the anemones I ordered were damaged during shipping.  I picked white dahlias instead.  When those arrived we pulled them together in bouquets and they were okay, but nothing special.

    On the day of the wedding I was walking to my hair appointment and passed the farmer's market and saw 3 beautiful bouquets that were way better than the dahlia bouquets I had in my fridge at home, so I bought them for $15 total and those are what we used for the wedding.

    So, it is a risk, but you might want to just pick out your flowers when you see how everything looks the day before- like produce.  Good luck!

    there arent really any flowers that come naturally in touquoise anyhow, so i think blue is just fine (unless you like the look of dyed flowers)

    @smith207: I'm working with a florist! He had just wanted me to find an "inspiration" picture for him.  So far, I can't seem to find one!

    I think it's gorgeous! What if you wrap the stems in the same turquoise as your BM;s?
