Lemon colour theme

[Soukki]

Hi. I am getting married in April (2005) I have my dress sorted, which is an ivory straight dress not fussy but elegant. I have ordered my accessories which are silver and I am now choosing my bridesmaid outfits and I am thinking about lemon as I think it is a nice spring colour. The men shall be in silver tie and waistcoats as I think lemon is a bit femine. Do you think that daffodils would be too weird for a bouquet? I would have other flowers in it ofcourse, but I just think that daffs are a really springtime flower, or is there another flower that resembles a daffodile but is a bit more elegant looking?

Sounds great It reminds me of a birthday cake my mum had made for me for my 21st as I am a spring baby my mum had daffodils and bunny rabbits for decoration on my cake (not real ones obviously) and it was beautiful.

Hiya

Yes I think that sounds lovely. If your bridesmaids have pale skin, make sure the get St Tropez'd though because pale skin and Lemon dosen't work.

Hi - You could have daffodils mixed with other spring flowers but some varieties don't last very long out of water for example in a hand-tied design and because daffodils are hollow stems, they are not very good at lasting in foam either i"m afraid! Narcissus is more delicate, has a wonderful perfume and can tolerate a few hours in foam but not much longer! Other flowers available in lemon are fressia, small pompom chrysanths, spray carnation and standard carnation, orchids, roses, broom, forsythia, tiger lilies. Hope this helps.

Oh great that fantastic advice. Really given me something to think about.

it all sounds very nice though I didn't think you were allowed to advertise on the forums, I had a link pulled once

[Rainbow Wedding Flowers]

Sorry - wasn't meant to be advertising - my site is already advertised on this site anyway. Was merely answering a Bride's query and giving a recommendation in her area. No offence intended! Brenda

Hi Madison

Wedding service providers that are listed within our directory are able to respond to topics if asked for help. Sorry if one of your posts was withdrawn. Unfortunately sometimes people use the forum to advertise a business in a guise of being a bride themselves rather than pay to advertise their company.

It is a bit of a grey area, as a moderator I have to use my judgement which can sometimes be wrong

I hope this answers your question

[madison]

Sorry I wasn't getting at anyone just wondered what the system was

I am nice really

Oi stop hijacking my thread

That is very helpful of you brenda. I spoke to a lady today that has a florists near where I work, I saw some pictures of some lovely springtime looking bouquets with light yellow roses (like you suggested) and some other stuff in their to which I don't know the names of but they were very pretty

Thanks for your help, I felt a bit more confident going into the florists today, because before I wasn't sure what I was talking about and didn't want to look like a complete muppet

all this and I haven't even told the bridesmaids what colour I am thinking of having them in. I will be stuffed if they don't like the idea

[Rainbow Wedding Flowers]

I'm sure they will like it. Lemon is a colour which mixes well with so many others such as lilac, oranges/peaches, blues. It's such a fresh colour and looks wonderful with lots of different textured foliages.
