Star Gaser Lilies are a beautiful flower. I also think the classics like the rose, carnation, dafadils (spelling I know), and wild flowers make beautiful arrangements. With is being outside I think Wild Flowers would be perfect, all types of colors and styles of flowers, just right for outside. References :
Try Gerber Daisies and Ivy. Both will be fairly inexpensive and say growth, spring, freshness. The Daisy "heads" can be clipped close to the base of the bloom and floated in a shallow bowl or just sprinkled around the base of the votives. Ivy vines can be woven loosely around a block of floral foam with the votives set on the top. Then intersperse with very short stemmed Daises pushed between here and there. References :
I really love daisy’s for a spring wedding, you can buy them pressed and then attatch them to ribbon and secure to your candles.
Gerbera ’s are also very nice, they come in all sorts of colours, and are similar to daisys.
we are having a winter wedding, and for our centerpieces we are having large ‘fish bowl’ vases. we are using long stem burgundy roses and wrapping them around the inside of the vase, there are about 5 in each bowl, quater filling them so that the stalks are covered with water – to prevent wilting – and then floating scented candles in them. we have had a demo one made and they are going to look amazing.
I agree that tulips are great, a good site to get them bulk is listed below. I would go with a double tulip that a littel fuller and lookes almost like a peony. They look very drmatic when used as the only flower in varying hights of vases.
This site if over 500 qty are purchsed drops their price significantly. To about 80cents per stem.
hyacinths, crocus, snowdrops, tulips, daffodils, and all of these can be purchased in small pots as well as large pots. they all smell heavenly and the scent will be increased by the bit of heat the votives put out!
wedding by the lake………….it sounds lovely and very romantic.
good luck! References :
