    I am having a black, white and lime green destination wedding in Key West FL in Dec.  I have no idea about flowers.  Any suggestions on inexpensive white flowers?  No roses or carnations please!

    Spider Mums!  They're gorgeous, inexpensive, and they come in white and lime!  :)

    I LOVE these spider mums!  I have seen several beautiful pictures of white anemones with black centers that i really like, but i didn't know how expensive they are?

    Not sure but I do know they last a long time. why not mix in lime green and white lights that you can always re-use at Holiday time?

    I plan to use white spider mums or baby's breath for my bridesmaids flowers!  I think they both make GORGEOUS bouquets!

    hydrangeas, roses, amarylis, mums, orchids, gardenias.  My coordinator just posted a wedding on her blog that was last week and used the same colors.  Its close enough to the same time of year, that you could get all the same flowers.  Im sure you could pull some insperation from their flowers.  www.moiraevents.com/blog  there are like 5 posts or so...

    Spider mums last like forever and a day.  So, they'll probably be able to handle warm weather of a destination wedding. 

    I believe anemones can get pretty expensive but you could use a few mixed in with the spider mums.  Since they're so full, you won't need a ton & you'd still get the look.. 

    and both types of flowers make for damn fine fascinators!

    i would have to agree with the spider mums.

    a farmers market near my job has them on sale like, every day. it's $3.99 for a bouquet, and you can get all one colour (so white, limegreen, sometimes blue), or you can mix them with different colours or the circular ball type green ones.

    i bought my little sister a bouquet for the opening night of her play, and they lasted like, twice as long as the orchids my dad picked out.

    We used button mums, white mini-calla lilys, and stephanotis.  The stephanotis and mini-calla's are expensive, but the button mums aren't!
