I'm wearing an ivory wedding dress and having burgundy bridesmaid dresses. Initially I planned to have a dark plum colour for the bridesmaids as my favourite colour is purple but the dresses which suited my bridesmaids best came in burgundy (the closest colour they had).
I was going to have cream roses with purple freesias and purple sweet peas. Do freesias and sweet peas come in burgundy? (I can't find any pictures) and would some purple flowers go with burgundy, which is a bit more red?
What types and colour flowers would go with burgundy bridesmaid dresses?
hi bina, there's a burgundy rose with cream flecks through it ,the cream almost looks like paint splash's.. it's called abrakadabra.. it would be perfect for you ,mixed with a cream sweet pea or cream freesia.. for the brides maids a cream rose called vendella would be great.. if you go for cream for yourself it'll just blend in with the dress. where as if you go for the burgundy and leave the brides maids with the cream it'll compliment everything..if you want to put some colour in the bridesmaids dresses ,there's a lovely little flower called allium bullit.. it starts off really deep burgundy on the bottom and goes up to a purple at the top..another lovely burgundy one is zantadescia schwalder..also known as the calla lilly.. hope this helps.. good luck with the big day.. oh and yes i'm a florist..!!
Reply:cream or yellow so that it will contrast w/ the burgundy....avoid red, pink, or burgundy flowers....
Reply:I would say plain cream roses, wrapped with a burgundy ribbon, and little gems / diamonds protruding from the tops on sliver sticks that can't be seen!
Plain, Simple but so stylish and gorgeous looking!
Reply:try tiger lilies...some come white with a deep red center that would go well with the colors of your wedding or you could talk to a florist about what you are looking for
Reply:the cream and purple sound lovely, most florists will dye flowers to suit the colour you want if they don't match the colour you want.
Reply:I would stick with the cream roses which would be a contrast.
Reply:why do nt you have fr ur bridesmaids red roses with cream roses with a touch of all the other flower s ur having it would look lovely and in keeping with ur s
good luck its my turn in aug to get married
Reply:Yes sweet peas do come in burgundy. The cream roses sound lovely.
Reply:talk to the florist they may be able to spray them for you!!
Reply:Go for deep red and cream roses. They look lovely.
Reply:cream flowers, yellow and possibly burgundy roses. You can have them spayed to your desired colour.
Reply:You sound exactly like me I'm having cream roses with like that fancy Burgundy beading over the top.
Reply:I think a small round bouquet of white carnations and small pink roses would be very pretty and fresh in contrast to the burgundy. happy nuptuals
Reply:deep red and cream
Reply:you have the opposite to what i had, mine was burgundy, bridesmaid ivory, i chose dark red roses, cream lillies, looked lovely, a mixture in both, with the contrast colour more than the other
Reply:OMG ME AND YOU THINK SOOOO MUCH ALIKE!!!!
lol i'm having red bridesmaid dressing first i wanted purple myself. but anywas so i decide to use both those colors.
so red dresses and purple flowers...tahts what i'm doing. and then have the groom wear a purple tie and the groomsmen a red tie...thats what i'm doing!
Reply:Hi what I would do is have them have ivory roses to match your dress and you have burgundy flowers to match the bridesmaids. Im sure they come in burgundy i know freesias come in purple but I dont know about sweet peas. If you let the flourist know what you want then they should be able to do it for you.
Why not just all off you have purple flowers, in the colour purple you wanted. It will still look good and make your dress and the bridemaids dresses stand out.

Does anyone know what kind of tree has multiple leaves per stem and purple/pink tuft flowers?
Yup, sounds like mimosa to me as well. I've heard them called Chinese silk trees, too.

Maybe a Mulberry, Jacaranda trees also get purple.
Reply:Many acacias and mimosas are like this.

Purple fragrant flower?
I have a tree that just started to bloom with purple flowers and they smell awesome almost like french soap. But I have no idea what type of tree it is or its called. Can someone tell me how I can figure out the name of this tree. Is there a way to send pictures for identification on this website?
Purple fragrant flower?
If they look like this then they're lilacs and there is soap scented like this.

If they look more like the ones in my avatar then they're iris, but they're a plant growing from tubers. They smell terrific and there are frgrances and soaps made from them too.

Reply:Hiacinth is so much like a perfume smell it is very fragrant , also lilac.
Reply:Could it be a lilac? Take a sprig into a local nursery where they may be able to identify it for you.

Name of a plant red/purple? Flower spikes look like jesters / jokers hat?
Hi all, I'm after the name of a red/purple flowered plant seen on holiday in various south devon gardens and street decorations. It looked similar to a buddleia but smaller with coloured foliage i think. Not a great description to go on so hopefully someone will know what I mean.

Where would you find info on flowers that bloom daily?
My dad has these flowers in his front yard that bloom new flowers each day. They are purple flowers. They bloom in the morning and as soon as the sun starts to set they fall off and start growing the new ones for the next day. He has no clue what the name of the flower is just that it is really cool. Can anyone help me find this.
Thanks!!
Where would you find info on flowers that bloom daily?
What you have noticed is diurnal flowering. Most plants that do this bloom with racemes opening in ranks for a day. They consist of hundreds of tiny individual blooms but in the mass those dying after one day are not as conspicuous as daylilies or Hemerocallis are.
Hemerocallis is the plant commonly known as the daylily since each large flower lasts only a single day. The name hemerocallis is derived from the greek meaning beauty for a day. For these plants an extended bloom period is 16 hours. Orange is common but many come in shades ranging from near black tones of purple to lightest lavender. They offer continuous bloom by having a cascade of buds ready to open after the last is done. The stem of blossoms is called a scape. The foliage is like long blades of grass growing from a fan shaped base.

Many plants use diurnal flowering to conserve their fragrance for times their pollinators are active. Four-O'Clocks do this very early when the light just begins to dim but they open again the next day. It is rare for a plant to trust it will be pollinated in just one day. Blossoms often are missed as not all flowers on a stem set seed.
Reply:My mom use to have flowers called "4 o'clocks". They bloomed like to said and when the flowers dies they turned to black seeds that she would save and replant the next year.
Reply:go to " gardening with peranials " search
Or you can go to Martha Stewarts web site and look for gardenng , she gives you alot of information and also about planting .
If you put "gardening with flowers " and to search , you will be able to find something .
Good Luck , thats what I did and I keep them as favorite sites , then you always have them to go back too quick.

What are the purple flowering trees I've seen around Orange County California?
I've seen them in and around the Anaheim and Yorba Linda areas mostly but don't know their name. They remind me a bit of a mimosa with almost naked trunks and lots of green foliage on top and then beautiful dark purple (almost feathery looking) blooms. I haven't seen them outside of So Cal and would love to know what they are. Thanks!
What are the purple flowering trees I've seen around Orange County California?
They are called Jacaranda Trees. Yes they are beautiful, but messy. The flowers have a watery sap that stains cars and sidewalks. As the flowers dry they start to smell....and it's not a nice smell. Lovely to look at but you don't want one in your yard.
Reply:They are Jacarada Trees, not sure if I spelled it correct.

What is the name of the purple-flower plant, tree or bush?
In the South, during my time to shopping to the city, I travelled around the country (from town to town), and noticed where many purple "plants" stand.
They are not lavenders, but it is smelled the lavenders or else.
What is the name of the purple-flower plant, tree or bush?
Could it have been Lilacs??? Pretty purple but grow on trees. Could also be Hyacinth which is a plant that grows from a bulb in the ground
Reply:If the leaves are purple, it's probably a purple leaf plum, if it's big purple flowers it's probably a royal empress, also called a Princess Paulownia. Or it could be a crabapple or a purple smoke tree.
Reply:Could it be puple loosestrife. This grows in ditches , swamps, and wet areas.
