This is my daughter's theme, but she can't find a flower that will fit in with it.

She is having silks as her fiance has really bad hayfever, but even then turquoise flowers don't look right.

Has anyone had these colours?, if so, we would love to see your piccies.

That is actually the color I am planning for my wedding. I am using dasies - I think it will look nice!

My advice would be to stick to white flowers then offset them with turqouise and silver. You could use, ribbon, crystals, or feathers.

It isn't the right shade of blue but it gives an idea:

I used www.bouquetjewels.com for the stones in my bouquet. I was very happy with their service.

I'll see what I can find tomorrow. It is getting close to bedtime for me. I do know that one of our regulars, CindySue, had a turquoise and opal wedding, so she might be able to help more. She should be on tomorrow evening.

Perosnally I think that white flowers really give a punch! Plus you can always add a couple of accents. Orchids are lovely especially in the bright white they come in, and you can get a bright blue aswell.
Roses are always nice. Even a little bit of red would look pretty.
My personal fav's are lillies. Large white day lilles are just gorgeous and go with everything, plus they're quite large and work well as a filler.

Our color of blue that's close to torquoise is called Pool on David's Bridals site... we are using Yellow and White for our flowers, yellow roses and some other kinda i'm waiting on an email from the florist haha :) but yellow goes well with it :D

Has your daughter considered a crystal bouquet? Might not be everyones cup of tea but i've seen some lovely ones like this one, (it'll match the silver part of her colour scheme)

I was going to say that if all else failed, just use white and maybe turquoise ribbon or something to decorate it with.

Thankyou ladies, I think she is going to stick with white flowers and maybe silver twists and turquoise accents.

There's some lovely coloured beads, crystals and feathers that can be incorporated into bouquets, so it should be interesting to see what comes up...

Her wedding dress is a Maggie Sottero in white and her BM's are in Veromia "Azure", so they do need to match...

Just a suggestion, but she could try having white flowers with either turquoise feathers or beads incorporated into the bouquets

Hi perry, that's exactly what she's looking at, at the moment.

Great minds think alike!!!
