Can I choose more than one flower for my wedding?

I want to have a rose bouquet but it would be out of our budget for my bridesmaids' to have rose bouquets %26amp; to decorate the church %26amp; reception hall with roses, too. Is it okay to do roses %26amp; another type of flower or is it proper to stick with one type of flower?

Can I choose more than one flower for my wedding?
You can totally do more than one flower. It's *your* wedding. I'd suggest looking into alstromeria. It's cheap, it's beautiful and its readily available in many colors.
Reply:I am having sunflowers and gerbera daisies. They are cheap and I like the combo of colors. Pick what you like and don't worry about it.





P.S. I bet regular white daisies would look good with roses.
Reply:Of course you can! And it will be beautiful.
Reply:You can mix and match all you want, but here is what I suggest: go ahead and have a rose bouquet for yourself. Since you want the bridesmaids to match, have the florist add some baby's breath to one single long-stem rose of your choice for them to carry. It's simple and inexpensive, but elegant and beautiful. Also, have one main rose arrangement to decorate the church. Think about greenery and candles, instead of just flowers. Roses, greenery, and lots of candle light . . . very romantic. Good luck and congratulations!
Reply:Of course. Roses are really expensive. It's fine if you want to have them for just your bouquet - just match the colours with the bridesmaids'. My own bouquet was a mix of all sorts of flowers, and the bridesmaids were smaller versions. Our colours were pink, lilac, yellow and teal, so it was fun to choose the flowers!
Reply:Tulips are a wonderful rose substitue. If you're okay with more traditional settings you could even use carnations and mums depending on your colors and season. What about hydreangeas? They're many petaled and not that expensive. Daisies are also another great alternative.
Reply:You can have anything you want at your wedding. It's all in how you put it together. Think of your fav. color the think of a neutral color to go with it.
Reply:In my opinion, the more the better. No rules on this that I know of.
Reply:key word...your...do what ya want..if you want to get married in a barn wearin a tank top and blue jeans, that's traditional enuff for me,lol...congrats!!!
Reply:two types of flowers are find trust me, i use to be in the party planning business
Reply:Of course. You can mix as many flowers as you want. Many brides carry bouquets of mixed flowers. Roses go well with stephanotis, daisies, carnations and many other flowers. Ask your florist for suggestions.
Reply:WHATEVER you want is appropriate...its YOUR wedding
Reply:Sure, why not? Have as many different types of flowers as you desire. It's YOUR wedding! ☺
Reply:You can do whatever you want! Tons of people use different flowers. Especially to make the bridge's bouquet stand out more as special. As long as they all match and go together nicely, it won't even be an issue. You could also try to incorporate SOME roses with the other things, and it would still be cheaper, but really work things in nicely. The cake could match, etc.
Reply:Choose as many or as few as you like... Your day.. P.S. Five years from now no one remembers the flower, probably not even your husband.
Reply:You can select as many different flowers as you want. It's your wedding and your day and you can do whatever your little heart desires.
Reply:If thats what you want to to at your wedding, then it's okay! It is your day, so do what you want girl... And congratulations!!
Reply:It is your wedding, you should do whatever makes you happy. =o)
Reply:hon its your wedding you can do as you wish..as long as you can afford it
Reply:I would say its ok to have more that one, i want to also. Go with what you want, its your day!!
Reply:It's your wedding! You have the right to do whatever you want. I personally love the idea of only the bride having roses, it just makes you stand out even more. It's your day. do what you want.
Reply:YES! Do roses for your bouquet, it is very traditional and expected that your bouquet be different from your attendants. If you chose a florist, consult with her on different looks and flowers in season that will complement the colors you choose. If you are a diy bride, look at different magazines and websites and save the style of bouquets and centerpieces you like. Go to a local flower mart or grocery store and play - put together different types of flowers to see what you like. There are few rules when it comes to putting flowers together. Just remember to keep the colors complementary and choose flowers that represent the style and look you want for your day.
Reply:Of course...
Reply:Roses are perfect for a wedding - they are available all year round and come in many colours and shapes - they look wonderful on their own in a stylish bridal bouquet or when mixed in with other flowers. For example roses mix the modern style of a Calla lily combines perfectly with a traditional rose to create a contemporary classic style bouquet.





It's really down to what style you are aiming for with your wedding which you go for why not look at wedding flower galleries for inspiration.

Reply:It's your wedding. You can do WHATEVER you want. Most people have more than one flower, cheaper flowers mixed with more expensive flowers.
Reply:Your wedding!! You do it how you want to!





How about using Your boquet red roses and white babies breath and for bridesmaids ... white carnations.





You could put some white carns in your boquet too. that might balance it out.





Congratulations.
Reply:Sweetie, you can do it however the heck you want! I've seen a lot of brides do this. A friend of mine (whose wedding colors were white and yellow) carried a bouquet of yellow roses, and her bridesmaids carried daisies.





My bridesmaids didn't even carry flowers. I had a big, mixed flower bouquet, and they had white fur muffs with holly pinned on them (it was a Christmas wedding).





Whatever you choose, I'm sure it will look gorgeous!
Reply:You can choose whatever flowers you want. All roses can be very expensive, so you might want to find something cheaper (carnations or mums) for your girls and then you have the rose bouquet. A good florist will be able to recommend certain flowers that can be mixed with roses to create a stunning bouquet at half the cost of all roses. Decorating the church and the reception hall in all roses is going to run you a pretty penny, so rethink that. At the church you only want to put 2 small arrangements at the altar so mix them. Depending on what time of year you are getting married in, you can choose seasonal flowers as well. If you are getting married in the fall, choose mums. They come in beautiful colors, are inexpensive and make a very large arrangement. Spring and summer will afford you a much better selection if you are going seasonal. Look for package deals as well. At the reception hall, you can have small centerpieces made up for the tables, rather than going for the large ones. When it comes to weddings, flowers can run you into quite a bit of money so shop around and find the florist who is going to give you the best deal for your money. Remember, they only last a day.
Reply:well i wouldn't see what the problem would be because if your are short of money then i would do another type of flower something that i find that is pretty with roses it cartions they are fairly in expenessvive and they make differnt colors but if it was made to use on flower to me that would be bprning so u would look into your opions and see what goes good with roses good luck with you wedding and hope all goes well
Reply:Most bouquets and floral arrangements include more than one type of flower, actually. It's also not at all uncommon for the bride to have more of the most expensive bloom in her bouquet than the bridesmaids do.





Roses are particularly versitile flowers that go well with a wide variety of other flowers. A quick consult with a florist will help you determine which other flowers appeal to you and fit in your budget.
Reply:It is your wedding make it what your want it to be and dont worry about what others think this is your day no one else. enjoy and be happy and trust and confine in each other best wishes.
