Matching Flowers

[countrygirl]

Hi Ladies!!

I need some help, again. I know that I want white daisies at my wedding, but I have no idea what other flower (other than baby's breath) to incorperate (sp??) in with them. I want some color, but nothing that will take away from the daisies. My maid of honor suggested a yellow flower since the middle it yellow, and light blue ribbon hanging down, since blue is an official color. I am lost!!

Any suggestions?????

I think yellow and/or blue will go good with white daisies. The pics Lacy post where nice. Or you could just do the whole bouquet with the daisies and tie the stems with a blue ribbon ... great way to get the 'something blue' ;) You don't 'have' to have much color in your bouquet. You can add color in the ribbons and such for the other flowers ... maybe use yellow and white daisies for the BM's flowers just white ones in yours. Rose petals are great to add color for the center peices and such.

:goodluck:

I am going to tie my bouquet to my grandfather's childhood prayerbook. I always wanted him to walk me down the isle, but he passes away 14 years ago, I am miss his as if it were yesterday. I want him to be there with me, and that is the best way to do it. Anyway, I am going to have the floweres tied to that. It would look really pretty w the white and yellow, w blue ribbon hanging off.

Thank you!! You just made up my mind!!!!

You could always use blue hydragenas, since they're both pretty and inexpensive. You could just use it as a filler.

That is a pretty bouquet. That is also a great way to have your grandfather with you. I was going to suggest what weblady said the all daisy bouquet hand tied with a blue ribbon. I like the one you choose though too. :D

I think that I will have yellow in my bouquet, and the maid of honor/brides maids will have just white w blue ribbons. My daughter's to be are going to carry flowers too, and they may just have all white w blue ribbons too.

I acutally got the idea of the prayer book from (I believe) Gwen Stefani. I think it was her who used her grandmother's bible, and I loved the thought.

Now I have another delema. My maid of honor is my best friend for 16 years. My sister, who I have been on/off again for the past two years will be a brides maid. She and her husband play the 'you haven't done right by me, you cant see the kids, you must apologize "bow down to me" attitude--alot!!! They have gotten good a'kicking' our side of the fam out of thier lives when they don't feel we are good enough to them. Anyway, my sister hasn't talked to me in about 2 months over something that she did. So when I called her to tell her I was engaged I asked her to be in the wedding, but that my BF was the MOH. She said she figured. Now she emails me and askes why she isn't good enough. I was supposed to be her MOH, and she and her lovely husband ran of and eloped, and I had to find out from my mother a week later. Anyway, I told her we shoudl discuss it in person (she usually fights via email). I don't know how to explain it. I am affraid that she will back out and not be a part, she's good at it!!

Sorry, that isn't what all of this was supposed to be aobut, but I had to vent.

Aww, honey, I know how you feel. Originally I wanted 2 BM's. That's it. We're having a small wedding, so I wanted a small BP. Well, Carlo has these 2 best friends of 9 and 7 years, respectively. But, if he didn't ask his brother and cousin to be in it, they'd get pretty bent out of shape.

Letting people dictate your Bridal party stinks. I think that you just need to tell her that you want her in your wedding. Make her a Matron of Honor if it would make her happy. You can have more than one. So, if she freaks out and doesn't make it, it's alright. You've got it covered. I don't know that telling her why you feel that way will help much, since she might take it the wrong way and split now. Good luck!! The flowers sound very pretty!

I don't know how to deal w it. I don't want to hurt her, but she has been so back and forth on being a part of my life right now. I can't count on her. It's sad when you think about it.

[CarlosHoney]

I'm on those terms with my Mom. The way I see it, she's on thin ice. If she holds up to her word (My mom lies and breaks promises) then our relationship can grow, but if she doesn't do what she says she will, she's going to break my trust (therefore the ice) and I'm the one who will be cold.

I feel the same way with my sister. If she backs out on this, or causes a scene, it will be the final straw.

I am sorry you are having problems with your sister, I have problems with my family like this alot too. I know there are others here that have problems with family members, it is sad that those close to us treat us this way.

I know you want to have to be a part of your life and a part of your wedding, but if she isn't going to be a loving and supportive part of either then why have her stress and upset you. I have problems with this myself and my family (mostly my mom) walks a thin line with me most of the time. You know, just because these people are family doesn't mean that we have to be friends with them, or even like them. I love all of my family but there are a few that I do not like.

Good luck with all this, I hope it works out well for you :hug:

Thank you for the support. I love her, but I can't force her to be a part of it. I think I am going to stick with my offer to her, and sit down and explian why. If she doesn't accept, then it's on her. I have so many other things to deal w before the wedding, I can't let this get to me.

I see why these forums can be helpful!!!:)
