Brown is going to be my main wedding color with maybe a light green as an accent color. I really want to use mainly brown in my bouquet but I'm not sure what flowers are available in a chocolate brown. Can you help me please?

Unfortunately, the floral spectrum does not offer much in the way of brown flowers. The good news is that there are some options to tie this color into your bouquets.
One of these ways is to use honeysuckle vine, a preserved vine which is available in a nice brown color. I like to utilize this by creating a wreath around the flowers, especially with a hand-tied bouquet.
Another way of incorporating brown into the mix is with sunflowers. Yes, sunflowers! Simply peel off all of the colored petals, and you are left with a great solid mass of brown!
Other floral accents which can be used include coneflower pods, fiddlehead ferns or monkey tails, as well as plenty of dried material which your floral designer will be able to help you select.
Consider finishing off the stems of your bouquet with a brown ribbon to tie the look together! Good luck and let us know if you need any additional help! Audrey Gardemeyer Botanical Floral Designs
