    Hello :)

    FH and I are having such a hard time nailing down our colors...mainly because we can't imagine what color flowers to go with our palette of teal, navy, and greens.

    Our wedding is in September so we don't want it to be too Springy-looking...but at the same time, we don't want there to be too many colors brought in due to the flowers.

    Any suggestions? I've attached a few pictures that we've used for inspiration for our main colors, so please offer suggestions of what color flowers would look good with them - Thank you:)

    Have you considered orchids? The greenish ones (I'm sure there's a more exact color name) should fall within in that palette.

    The hydrangea in the same color might provide a less expensive alternative.

    Personally I think yellow or orange flowers would be lovely with your color palette (I'm going the peacock blue/teal/orange flower route myself) but since you seem concerned with having color overload, you could go with blue or green hydrangeas. You could also go with white flowers - there are so many types to choose from if you go with white.

    @ Kittyachi - Do you have an inspiration photo or something with these colors together? Adding in a yellowy-orange sounds pretty...

    Here is my favorite one (and the one I keep on my work computer). I'll see if I can find some of the others I'm using on Google. Can you tell I'm in procrastination mode today?

    Purple goes nicely!! More so a dark purple I think. Also any shades of cream or ivory would be lovely I think. And i do love orange/blue for a combo

    While it'd be beautiful to add a punch of color with pink or orange - I'd stick with like colors.. I'd either suggest not adding in any more color and doing something like this bride.

    OR -  consider adding purple in - it's a nice contrast to the blue.

    Hey! We've got something similar going - I have so much color with the decor that we've decided to go with white flowers. You can get almost any flower in white, and it coordinates with everything! Below is my board - you COULD use purple as an accent too!

    The flowers lara bee posted are great! I was going to suggest a bouquet with succulents if you wanted something untraditional to pull in on the greens. I also like the bright color pops sometimes but I feel like your going for a more softer look? I would stick with the same colors and/or whites and ivory...

    I love your invites!  I'd suggest pink or purple if you wanted to add a color.  You could always use greenish and blueish hydrangeas if you wanted to stay in the same color family.

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I feel like I can go into the meeting with our florist in a few weeks with some great ideas.

    @texasmeredith - thank you! I love our invitations too! I love the watercolor look of the flowers on the bottom - they are from wedding paper divas :)

    I just showcased some floral at a Bridal open house, and my inspiration was teal and lime green.  The accent was on hot pink and Peacock feathers.  It was absolutely stunning!  Very rich and decadent with a touch of whimsy!

    Here is a pic!

    I love your inspiration invitation!  Do you remember where you found it or do you know who makes that invitation?

    As for flowers, I think purple would look nice.  I also like the green orchids posted above.  Orange is also a good suggestion.
