We are having an outdoor ceremony at a little country Bed and Breakfast this summer, and I want to find some flowers that are not too formal, but not too country (a.k.a. wildflowers). I love wildflowers, but I want this to be just a notch above being that country and simple. It is my wedding, after all! :)
I love daisies, roses, sweet pea (that's what my mom has always called me), sunflowers, ranunculus, gerbera daisies, and mini calla lilies. I was just going to go with white flowers because the contrast with the blue dresses would be pretty. The color also has to look okay with the red roof on the B%26amp;B (but no red flowers please, just colors that would look okay and not clash with the red roof since we are thinking about having the ceremony leading up the steps of the house.)
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Pictures EVEN BETTER!!! :)
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

Be careful with sweet peast - they're rather delicate. I insisted on having them in my bouquet because they're sentimental to me, so just be aware that if you do have them, to use them sparingly and keep your bouquet out of the heat as long as possible.
I wouldn't worry too much about the color of the roof of the house. You won't really even notice it.
Pinks and purples would be pretty:

My personal favorite is the all white but instead of the white ribbon use a ribbon in your accent color so it stands out and sets off the blue dresses.
Mens boutineers should simple single flower with a sprig of greenery... while mothers and grand mothers coursages should be simple 3 flower settings sprig of greenery and a bit of ribbon..
Reply:I think your idea of mixed flowers is a very good idea, Blue is such a neutral color, almost any flower would look fine against it. May I suggest one thing? The mini Calla Lillie's might be too formal in the type of bouquet you are suggesting.
Reply:Gerbera daisies strike a very good note between "country" and "formal" and they're absolutely gorgeous. I'd go with a single-color bouquet. Here are some photos of how it would look. I'd do ribbon-wrapped stems.
