Question : I'm looking for inexpensive green flowers for bridesmaid bouquets. Any suggestions?
I have seen cybidium (sp?) orchids and green hydrangea but they are pretty pricey unless I buy wholesale online. i would prefer to work with a florist but could buy online if need be. If someone could offer some alternatives, I would be pretty excited. Thanks!

you can always get carnations (sp) and put them in green food coloring for
little flowers with a tinge of white and mostly green, also many gerber daises
come in green and they usually not too expensive.

Perhaps you could order from WalMart, or some place like that.

I have seen fake orchids that look surprisingly real. I found them at
Michael's, and they were pretty inexpensive. No one would be able to tell
unless they looked very close. You could put the bouquets together and save a
ton of money.I didn't use orchids, but I used silk flowers at my wedding and for
my bouquet, three bridesmaid bouquets, and 15 pin-on flowers for the groomsmen,
parents, special guests, etc. I spent only $40.

Chrysanthemums come in green. I think they sometimes call them poms. There is
also a flower/filler called mollucela- it's long and skinny like snapdragons.
Also, you can get green roses and green lisianthus. My mom grows green zinnias
in her garden from late spring until early fall- they would be pretty in a
bouquet, but I'm not sure if you can get them from a florist. Good luck and
congratulations on the wedding!

Answer #5
Your florist should have sprays to color flowers. They could even spray white
roses to green.

Maybe placing an online order at Sam's, 1-800-flowers or at a local florist that
can order them cheap.

I'm a little surprised that you say hydrangea is expensive. I'm using an antique
green hydrangea as the main flower in all my arrangements and it has been very
cost effective (I'm working with a florist). Not only does it take up lots of
space in the arrangements, but it holds up extremely well to heat and
temperature changes. I would rethink not using them, you may save yourself some
$$ b/c it cuts out the need for a lot of smaller more expensive flowers (yes
orchids ARE pricey!). I'm using a pale lilac cybidium orchid in my arrangements
as well, but due to their price, there will only be one stem per centerpiece and
it will be suspended in the glass vase under the main arrangement.

There are a lot of online sites that provide fresh flowers for wedding events.
Some of them are flower.com, fromyouflower.com and Dutch Gardens. All of them
offer same day delivery as the day you placed your order, to ensure the flowers
are fresh and in good condition. As valentine's day is closing, you will be able
to get a good deal if you use one of the promotional coupons at
http://freeflowercoupon.blogspot.com/. At From You Flowers, most of their
flowers start at a very low price of $29.95 and I'm sure you will be able to get
a better price if you order for a bulk purchase!
