     use of black in bridal bouquet  

How can we use red,white and black in the bridal bouquets? Can the Bridal bouquet have black in it? Maybe even silk?

Well...what time of year are you getting married? The reason I ask is that Anemonies are available in red with black centers from about april to early July....They would fit the bill. More than that though I will say that there are no truly black flowers. There are some very nearly black ones; Calla Lilies and Black Magic Roses. Assuming your attendants are wearing black gowns you may have their bouquet stems wrapped in black ribbon.
From a design standpoint I would like to convince you to stear clear of the black in the flowers. Instead use the very dark rich reds which are amazing. Black is beautiful as a background but use it as that and let it hold its own very nicely. Perhaps using red and white in your bouquet and only red in the attendants would be nice. But, if you can, try to stay away from the silks. When flowers are a man made color they just don't look natural enough for a wedding. Sorry if I sound too opinionated but honesty is what you will get with me. Good luck and have a georgeous wedding!
