The Flowers

I've always had a soft spot for stargazer lilies. The innards can easily be removed to prevent pollen from ruining dresses, floors, and tabletops, and the flower itself is obtainable in white, leaving the red for bouquets of roses and babies breath.

For the table spread, a centerpiece of white stargazers and roses can sit in the middle, laying low enough to not be distracting and yet retaining the theme. Ribbons can be mixed in with the assortment and bows can adorn the middle to cut back on the costs of so many flowers.

Bridesmaids can carry smaller groups of these flowers as well, with a draping, flowing form. The circular, stiff, unmoving bridal bouquet is a thing of the past to me. I want the flowers to move as the dresses do, for a flowing feeling. I would like to add a splash of pink or calla lilies to the mix, just to provide more of a color-change to the mix and not quite so contrasting. Ribbons again can be added to these. 

Of course corsages can be the lilies for the women with red bows, and red roses for the men with ivory bows.
