I am currently planning my wedding (June 2008) and I am trying to figure out what type of flowers to decorate with as well as hold (both me and my bridesmaids) that would look nice with robin’s egg blue (with dark chocolate accents). Lilies are my favorite but finding blue lilies might be a problem, any ideas?

The problem with blue or purple flowers is that they might wind up clashing with your blue color. The best color is ivory or cream. These would go very nicely with both the blue and brown and would add a little crisp, clean, brightness to the look.
I love the look of hydrengeas, and a bouquet of them and decorations would look great.
Here´s an example, but a florist can get these in robin´s egg blue…
I did robin blue in my wedding for June as well. I did light blue, dark blue, soft pink and white flowers. If you love lilys then make sure your bouquet has them in there. You can do stargazer lilys for your girls bouquets. They look like this
However, I would talk to your florist and see what she thinks you should do. Any color will go great with blues and browns, but while you are in the shop take a look at some of the other flowers in there. You may see something that really catches your eye and you want to have for flowers. Remember that your flowers do not have to match the dresses, they need to accent them and bring out the color of the dresses.
white lillies….white flowers in general, add accents of color with bows and maybe colored willow twigs…
I’m doing similar colors.
I love hydrangeas. They are beautiful, easy to find and simple, yet elegant.
I’m thinking of doing something like this for my bouquet:
Talk to a florist about your ideas. I think that hydrageas would like nice, but a lot of your flower choices depend on where you’re getting married. If you’ll be oustide in June, hydrangeas might be too delicate. A florist will be able to tell you what’s available in your area and your season. And if you’re looking for a particular color, they may be able to spray-paint the flowers you’ve chosen to match your colors. (It’s a special florist spray-paint, you won’t be able to tell!)
Even if you decide to do your own flowers or hire a cheaper florist, the consultation is usually free, and it’s a great way to get some ideas.
yeah those are hard colors. if white bores you, you can choose a flower color that coordinates and have everything except your flowers be blue and brown.
i feel burnt orange, or bright pink.
I would go with a full variety of colours and assorted flowers – a mix of roses, carns, lilies, alstromeria, etc. – in dk pink, light pink, lilac, yellow, orange, peach, and greenery – tied up with blue ribbons.
