Hi!... I am getting married in October. My bridesmaid dresses will be cocktail length espresso colored (dark brown)... I was thinking for the bridesmaids I would have 3-4 Lilies with the long stems tied with ribbon and for myself I would like to have a full round bouquet of roses, either orange in color (I am not sure what they are called) or brown (Leonidas I think). I was wondering how it would look to have two different flowers with different colors? I am going with the fall theme of different color leaves and harvest, I was just wondering if all this would go? Thank you....

It sounds great. There are about a million fantastic fall roses. There are new types of browns and coppers being bred all the time. Leonidas is certainly one of the best. An all rose bouquet is nice. If you want a little more detail consider adding some hypericum berries. It's a great fall look. Though I love the look of lilies I want to warn you that they are pretty fragile and need to be taken care of right so they are very well conditioned and the pollen is removed. I would like to suggest you consider combining them with some other elements like greens, berries and srong stemmed blooms just to back them up a bit. The Bouquets will be floating around though and we want them fresh and happy right? Mixing fall colors is pretty goof proof...Just have a good time with it all. Do look into chocolate hypericum berries and go for it!!! Sue of Hobart's Fine Florals http://www.hobartsfineflorals.com
