My wedding colors are various shades of white with accents of gold and a bit of silver. I know I can get very carried away in the creativity apartment, o I knew that sticking with such a simple scheme would keep me tame. I also love many different types of flowers so I only allowed myself to have four types: Roses, Hydrangea, Tulips and Orchids. I would have loved to used peonies, but they are very hard to get in October and very expensive no matter what time of year it is. However I found some gorgeous peony alternatives that are only a fraction of the price. All of them are roses!

There are many more colors shapes and sizes, but I love the various whites, peaches, creams and blushes. A few of these beauties will be featured at our wedding in different arrangements.
