Carnations?

I don't agree. It sounds like that person had a personal issue with the flower. I think that carnations are cute ^_^

I don't agree, i have seen plenty of arrangement with carnations that are absolutely beautiful! i am even considering carnations for my wedding flowers!

I think your first phrase "i love carnations" should be enough to answer that question! Your wedding/vow renewal should be about what you love and want, not what the author of some article thinks. I've seen some beautiful carnation arrangements!

I also like carnations. I wouln't let one person's opinion throw you off your vision. Do what you want. It's your day afterall. I also saw beautiful bouquets when I was searching online...I couldn't believe they were carnations. Simply breathtaking.

I'm kind of loving these carnation-only arrangements:

I also love carnations. I think you should use whatever flower that appeals to you. Honestly, I think the folks who say carnations look cheap only view the world through materialistic goggles. You don't need advice from people who are shallow enough to equate in inexpensive flower with tackiness.

Go with carnations if you love carnations.

If you love carnations, go for it! A talented floral designer should be able to make any flower look great, no matter what. I personally think carnations are beautiful. They add great texture and come in so many colors!

You love it, right? then go with what you love..who cares what other people said or say..it is supposed to be about things YOU love!

Ok so I am going with what I love. I just thought it was rude of that person to say what flower implies tackiness. Specially since everyone is different.

I think carnations are fine and can look really cool if you use one color and lots of them. See the pictures that Rosie posted above

Carnations are very nice... depending how they are used.. they may of just assumed they are tacky bc they are cheap in cost SOOO thats even a better reason to use them haha I hope your carnations look beautiful enjoy

Go for it! They are your favorite flowers, they are affordable, and you can make them look classy

BG I agree. I love carnations and have seen even roses and other expensive flowers look tacky just from the arrangement but those are my opions also.

I don't think they look cheap, but honestly, they do remind me of funerals. But if you love them, that's all the should matter!

I also LOVE carnations - they smell sooo good! Who cares what anyone else thinks - it's YOUR wedding!

If you love carnations.....use them. They are a beautiful flower. The last well, come in a huge number of colors, and have a wonderful fragrance. Don;t let some stranger who wrote an article change your mind. I have used them in dozens of weddings. Use them and enjoy them.

Im using some carnations in my bouquet and probably in my centeripieces. go for it.

Whoever in the heck said that... ignore them!

I love carnations also. I have always loved them. Family and friends know this to the point that I do not want roses on my casket at my funeral.... LOL

I'm using white carnations and red gerbera daisies in my bouquet. My MOH and all coursages and bouts will be done in the white carns.

I think they are beautiful. And they hold up WONDERFULLY compared to almost any other flower, especially roses.

Go for what YOU love.
