wedding party flowers for a hot pink and lime green color scheme
I am planning a wedding for July 2009 and I am having difficulties deciding on flowers for the the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The colors I have chosen are hot pink and lime green. The groomsmen will wear a traditional black and white tuxedo and the girls in black dresses with ever other one wearing lime green or hot pink shoes. I have attached a picture of the bridesmaids dress I have chosen and the shoes in both colors. I was thinking of doing pink Gerbera daisies with lime green around the stems for the girls. I really don't have any ideas for the guys. I want something fun to bring out my crazy personality, but I don't want anything tacky or to have too much going on.

The wonderful thing is that you really have a blank slate to start with, now all you need to do is accessorize! The dresses you have chosen are simple, and timeless, you could even add a colored sash to these to tie in the shoes and your color accents even more. The gerbera daisies will add a punch of color, while giving some contrast against the black dresses. Coordinating the ribbon on the bouquets to the bright colors would also add some interest and tie the look together.
Some great lime green accents include hypericum berries, bupleurum, and green 'kermit' chrysanthemums to name a few. The groomsmen boutonnieres could be a miniature gerbera daisy in the same color as the bridesmaid's bouquets to give a cohesive look.
I think by keeping the attire simple while adding contrast with the flowers will satisfy your fun personality while not compromising tastefulness. Audrey Gardemeyer Botanical Floral Designs
