Another bouquet question.please help?

Mrs. Blevins to Be asked:


I am having a beach wedding in Kauai and I cannot find a pic of the bouquet I have in mind. I have to use yellow roses in it b/c they were my fiance’s mothers favorite flower and she has passed away. I will be wearing a coral colored sash with my dress, so coral and yellow have to be in the bouquet and I was thinking a dark pink too. I want to include tropical flowers and was thinking of a red ginger flower to incorporate native flowers and the dark pink. Below is a link to a picture of the colors I was thinking about for my bouquet as well as a picture of a red ginger flower b/c most people don’t know what one is. If anyone can find a bouquet using these colors and those flowers or similar, will you please post the link???

colors (green is greenery in the bouquet white and orange are optional.my sash is the same as the color next to the pink)

red ginger flower
Yes, but I am in Ohio, there are no red ginger flowers here, so how easy would it be for a florist from around here to show me an example? I just want a picture….if you don’t have one, that is fine.
That’s just it, I have been in touch with florists on Kauai. They are not too personable. I have asked what they think, if they have pics or have done anything similar and they come back with costs and deposit amnts. This is something I want to have out of the way before I get to Kauai….to me it’s my wedding bouquet, to them, it’s just another bunch of flowers.

    Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

    Have you been in touch with a florist in Kauai? That is the place I would start. All the colors sound beautiful to me. There are many tropical flowers that we do not have on the mainland that a florist in Kauai will be able to help you decide on. I would get in touch with someone in Kauai and they can guide you.

    Good luck! I love Hawaii!!!

    Here is a very pretty one, I am sure you could work the yellow roses into it. I think they are a very sweet touch.

    Personally this is my favorite from what I have found..

    I really like stargazer lilies, but they are very popular and pretty common for tropical weddings…not something to use if you are looking to do something different, but they do look good with roses.

    Best wishes and Congrats!

    EDIT- Is there another florist in Kauai that may be more personable? I would feel a bit upset of they weren’t making an effort to make this something special too…or at least act like it.

    Silly question, but have you posted on theknot.com in the Hawaii wedding section? I am getting married in Las Vegas and the Vegas knotties pointed me towards a wonderful florist there. She has emailed me pictures of things and is generally great.

    Also, if you browse bios of people that were married there, you might be able to find something.

    Good luck.

    Here…try these websites. They are florists websites that are located in Kauai. You can also look up some other florists and call around. They will be able to help you find what you are looking for. It sounds like it will be beautiful…

    Where at in Ohio? That last name seems all too familiar!
    I think those colors sound great together. It is difficult finding those flowers together in a bouquet. I did find some pics of ginger in pink.
    Here quite a bit with the ginger but can’t seem to find any with yellow roses as well.
    It seems most bouquets that have tropical flowers in them do not have domestic flowers in them. This is really hard to find.
    I really think that sounds beautiful together, the colors and the flowers! Good Luck

    I was in Hawaii in August and I’m here to tell you, there is no Aloha there. The people in Hawaii are not very nice, the place reminds me alot of NJ only with red ginger flowers growing everywhere. So, I’m not surprised you aren’t getting any help. I think the only way you’re going to get any help is to go through your hotel concierge. If you aren’t staying in one of the high end hotels, try calling the Four Seasons concierge and ask them to recommend a florist. Personally I’m not sure that ginger flowers and roses would look right together. I think something coral colored with ginger flowers would look good and I think something coarl colored with yellow flowers would look good. I’m not so sure about all 3 together. You should be able to get one ginger flower somewhere in Ohio. Try calling some florists and see if they have any or could get you one. Then you can put all 3 things together. Good luck with your search.
