I personally think it gives the bouquet a bit more depth.<br /><br />There are a couple of bouquets you can look at that I have done where I have used both ivory and white. Bernie's bouquets (I think that was in Sept), and Nina's bouquet (in December) would be ones to check out. Nina's professional pictures are actually good to look at because she had an ivory dress, ivory roses, white freesias and berries. You'll see that the ivory rose looks much darker against the ivory dress, so if some white roses were mixed in with it, it would still look fine. Another thing is what white rose is your florist going to get? Some white roses like the variety called 'Akito' are a very strict white, whereas a few others that are classified as white (like the variety called 'Advance') have an ivory tinge to it.<br /><br />xxDanniiThe Kissing Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923003018386359412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365282907630749509.post-39867132673434878252010-03-09T22:56:11.205+11:002010-03-09T22:56:11.205+11:00Thanks..

I just wired a few flowers and them placed them around the wand, taped them in place and then covered the tape with the ribbon.<br />xxDanniiThe Kissing Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923003018386359412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365282907630749509.post-71764777765362764262010-03-09T18:37:05.255+11:002010-03-09T18:37:05.255+11:00Thanks so much Dannii.
I spoke to my florist today...Thanks so much Dannii.<br />I spoke to my florist today and I think we are just going for the Lisianthus. My maids are having orange rose and purple Lisi dome bouquets and I am having a mix of cream coloured roses and white Lisi dome bouquets. And I also love your flowergirl wand you made.. so I think I am going to do something similar. Did you have to glue the flowers on or just use the ribbon to secure?<br /><br />Thanks for the help and advice. I am super excited. And love checking your blog every week. I will continue to do so even after I am married.Bbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692277800247771703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365282907630749509.post-88811594868564190282010-03-09T17:08:33.471+11:002010-03-09T17:08:33.471+11:00Awww thanks Bek :-)I love hearing from my readers!...Awww thanks Bek :-)I love hearing from my readers!<br />The lisianthus is probably the darkest shade of purple you can get in flowers. There are many different shades of the purple lisianthus and I have probably used the darker ones in past weddings (Tammy, Bernie and Kym's weddings are the first one's to come to mind which I did Aug, Sept and Oct last year if you want to search my blog).<br />Other purple flowers to consider are calla lilies (the season starts in October so they may/may not be available), Freesias, Tulips, Anemone (these are quite a dark rich purple), Ranunculus, Sweet Pea, Stock, and Vanda orchids. You may also want to try a berry as some of those are a black/purple colour.<br />There are also a few other purple flowers that are used in the shop but not as much in wedding bouquets (alstromeria, liatris, statice and gladioli)<br />If you can't get the exacct shade of purple that you need, it can also look good to mix up a couple of different shades of purples and mauves together. The mauve is a lovely complimetary colour against a purple.<br />I hope that gives you some ideas. Good luck.<br />xxDanniiThe Kissing Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923003018386359412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4365282907630749509.post-6860146329539179352010-03-09T13:22:42.926+11:002010-03-09T13:22:42.926+11:00Hey,

I'm getting married in October and would love for you to do my flowers... if only you lived in Voctoria! Getting some ideas of what flowers to look at in purple would be helpful.<br />Love your blog and love your work!<br /><br />BekBbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692277800247771703noreply@blogger.com
