Floral Scheme Help

Maria, on December 4, 2021 at 4:43 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 6

Hi all -


I recently booked my florist for my May '22 wedding. We had a great consultation but after we got off of the call, I realized that the floral color scheme that we had decided upon and discussed was not at all what I was going for. I feel that the florist made the scheme too orange and coral, when in reality I am going for a more burnt orange/ivory scheme.

When I sent her more style photos after the consultation and asked if we could make changes, she told me to tell her which flowers to remove and what I wanted to replace them with. I am literally not a flower person and know next to nothing about flowers, so I could really use some help on names of flowers that would go with these scheme that are in season for May.


The first picture is the quoted arrangement. The second set of photos is the theme I was trying to go for. Any help is appreciated.

    To me her proposal looks like what you asked for. I wonder if it just feels different because she showed you more orange/peach options than ivory. Maybe just ask her to make sure to go heavy on those ivory roses with just pops of the other flowers?

    I would remove the orange cherry and spray orange roses.

    If you like the actual flower types the florist selected, you could still use them but ask for more ivory options (such as ivory stock flowers instead of peach). If you'd like to see what other flower options there are, you can Google Fiftyflowers.com and search under burnt orange flowers seasonal in May. It also looks like there are pops of burgundy in your last photo. I personally love the color scheme in the first set and it looks more like spring whereas the second set is more fall.

    The quote looks exactly like what you asked for. Maybe add some darker orange if you're worried. Your inspo photos look more orange/peach than ivory. Ivory photographs pretty white

    I don't know much about colors, but the pictures with your color scheme look amazing. I hope that you will succeed
