Gerbera Daisies & boutonnieres & corsages???

I'm doing all of my own flowers and I'm mainly using Gerbera daisies %26amp; hydrangeas for my wedding bouquet and for the Bridesmaids. However, they are too large for corsages and boutonnières so I don't know what flower to use. Does anyone have a somewhat inexpensive idea? Also, my colors are alternating BM dresses of Wine %26amp; Dark purple.. what color gerberas would look good in a September wedding? I was thinking opposite gerbera daisies for the BM, but I'm afraid since they are both dark colors they'll drowned each other out.. any suggestions?

For the the boutonnieres you could always use carnations. They are a fairly inexpensive flower, and they look nice. Here is an example of what the carnation boutonneire's and corsages would look like...

As for the BM's...you said that you had them in alternating colors, which will look beautiful, do you also want them to have alternating bouquets? Or would you prefer they all had the same bouquets?

For the BM bouquets you could get the white gerbera daisies, then add in some different color carnations (they come in a purple color...you could add a burgundy or mauve color to the bouquet as well). Mums are also in season, and that is a fairly affordable flower as well. You may also want to look into the mini gerbera daisies as well as the mini carnations.

I hope that this helps! Good luck :)
Reply:A single gerbera daisy looks silly for a boutonniere, just so you know. Better to use several mini asters - they look very close, and come in beautiful fall colors.
Reply:I'm getting married in November... and our colors are burgundy and gold/yellow... both of which are Gerbera colors. We've decided to use regular Gerberas for the bridesmaids to carry... and mini gerberas and simply use 1 flower for the guys. Gerberas come in great and bright colors! So... have lots of fun with it!!
Reply:Use mini-gerbera daisies for the men. That's what I'm doing for my FH. I'm having a hand tied bouquet of red gerbera daisies, and he's having a red mini boutonnière.



Good luck, and Congratulations!
Reply:Why not use the hydrangeas for the corsages and boutonnières?

Reply:My Bridesmaids wore dark purple and my flower girl wore off white with dark purple and yellow flowers, so the bouquets were purple with some yellow flowers and ribbons.
Reply:I think if you had white gerber daisies or white hydrangeas for the BM with orange, yellow, and purple gerber daisies it would like nice!
