    Bees,

    I am feeling completely overwhelmed! I have no idea what flowers to choose! Any floral buffs out there? I want something modern, simple, and pale yellow. I don't care for bright yellow (I wouldn't mind a few hints if need be). I also like the idea of some greens and some creams and whites. I do not like roses. I know that is a common choice, but I am just not a fan at all.

    Anyone want to throw some inspiration pictures my way? I am going insane. I know nothing about flowers at all!

    Umm, I like tulips, hyacinth, stock, mums, I've seen pretty yellow and white iris. Garden roses come in pale yellow and look more like a peony than a typical rose. I'll see if I can find some pictures.

    I, also, don't want regular roses, callas, or orchids... ya know, typical wedding flowers.

    @mmm31911:

    Hi, if you go to www.fiftyflowers.com you can look for flowers by color and season. For a March wedding you could certainly go with daffodils, and tulips, and you can see what else you like here:

    I would also take the time to see how big each flower is, and how many you actually get for the price.  Best of luck!  :)

    The top right is a yellow magnolia, the bottom is a garden rose (looks like a peony, but cheaper) and maybe carnations... I couldn't get a real good look at them.

    Are you using a florist? I know nothing about flowers, so I went in clueless. She had a book of different flowers, I went through it and said "I like it," or "I don't like it." It was very helpful, and it gave her an idea of what I do and don't like.
