I think the colors and flower types are a beautiful choice - very elegant - -good job, I am sure it will be beautiful just as you are planning it.
Reply:Go to a good florist, and they can recommend what is best and at lower costs for you. Some pink and white roses would be pretty. For the bridal bouquet get something that brightens your wedding dress.,
Reply:Hello, these days callas (mini or standard) run arroun $9 per stem depending where you are. June is off season, so the head size will likely be a little smaller then average and the cost a little higher then average - although they are still readily available.

The hydranea will run between $9 and $15 depending on size



It would be real pretty to do a mix of white mini callas and sage hydrangea and a really soft pink roses. I havve done this before and it was soft and beautiful.



Just a note - most white flowers fall somewhere between whtie and ivory. If you want a true ivory flower, change the above to soft pink mini calla and an ivory rose - such as vandella.



Cost: for an average size round style bouquet, hand tied I would chage $150



I have a picture of this, but I would need to get it scanned and email to you if you would like.
Reply:very nice choice but cala lilies are very expesive, more then $5 a flower generally!

Good luck!
Reply:You have plenty of time to talk to florists and they will know what flowers will be available for a June wedding. I think the Hydrangeas may be too big of a flower for the delicateness of your dress. Your color choice is very nice. Best wishes!
Reply:I use to work as a florist for 4 years until allergies got the best of me. lol . My daughter was married in July and she had calla lilies, peach roses and white lilies The calla's were more expensive than her roses since roses are so abundant in the summer. Calla's can be $3 to $5 each depending on their size and of course some will depend on where you live. Hydrangeas may be more expensive like up to $10. each. I have never had a call to use hydrangeas in wedding bouquet before. We just sold them as potted plants. To be honest, I don't know how well they hold up. Are you doing your own bouquets or having a florist do them? I can't tell you off hand the prices since I don't know the styles you are looking for. Arm bouquet? cut bundle? cascade? It doesn't hurt to go to the florist now to get some pricing so you know what you will find. They have books you can go through to get a feel of what you are looking for. Personally I would add some roses to your bouquet too and some bear grass. If you like fillers, I think you might like caspia instead of baby's breath. Chances of getting white callas are good. Sometimes it is harder to get the lovely colored ones in when you want them. BTW your dress is gorgeous!

The Knot has some great pictures and will have price points for the flowers you are interested in. The great thing about Hydrangeas is that they are a nice full and will help keep some cost down.



The cost will really depend on your area and if they can get the flowers local.



good luck and have fun!

Reply:I think Hydrangeas is too much, just have 1 or 2 Calla Lilly's with beautiful ribbon around it, simple yet beautiful and elegant.
