You can order online from a place like freshroses.com or just go to a bigger city and buy from the grocery store or something.





There are tons of purple flowers. If you have time plant a hydrangea bush and harvest the flowers from it on wedding day. They are gorgeous and you will have landscape for every year :)





Don't use silver flowers. Use silver vases or silver ribbons but not silver flowers or sticks painted silver...it just looks cheap and bad.
Reply:I would research different florists website...they have pictures of their work and can send by teleflora..here's a pic of purple flowers...(I agree with others...I wouldn't go with silver flowers either...sounds tacky)

Reply:there has to be a larger town close by that could order them for you.
Reply:Most florists can spray paint flowers. Talk to some local florists about it. This way she can still have the type of flower she wants, along with the colour.
Reply:Have you tried your local grocery store that has a flower department in it? Can't help you much on the types of flowers as I'm having some trouble picking out my own flowers in the same colors, and that are within a resonable price range. Also check and see what kind of flowers are in season at the time the wedding will be taking place. Good Luck! : )
Reply:use silk flowers instead and you can get them in any color you want!
Reply:Buy your flowers online and have a local florist put your bouquets together if they are willing to do that. Or buy the flowers and do it yourself. Your florist should have access to all of the standard types of flowers. If she doesn't she can special order them for you but they will cost more to do that. There are purple roses (a light color purple), lusianthis, carnations, calla lilies, and daisies or mums. Most of those flowers a florist commonly has easy access to.





Try something like this for the bride's bouquet- purple calla lilies with a thick satiny, silver ribbon tied around them. Then for the bridesmaids you could do something like white callas with a purple ribbon (or a silver ribbon for the MOH). It is a classic look that is very elegant.





Remember she can always add elements like purple or silver crystals into her arrangement. They are like little jewels for your bouquet.
Reply:I would just see what wild flowers you could find in purple andwhite. You can add silver accents, or spray paint tree stems silver.
Reply:You can look on the internet and have flowers shipped to you.


Also you can dye roses or carnations to whatever color you want.
Reply:Of course, there are no silver flowers in nature, so I would suggest using purple %26amp; white or purple %26amp; ivory with silver ribbons on the stems or silver wire.





There are lots of different shades of purple available and mixing them is gorgeous in bouquets!





Carnations come in several shades of purple. Roses come in a color called sterling that is a purply-pink, stock is dark purple, snapdragons come in lavender %26amp; dark purple, iris are dark purple, hydrangeas are lavender or dark purple. Lots to choose from!
