I'm helpinh a friend with her wedding. She has a beautiful, cream colored, draped gown (it looks like it was torn off a statue of a greek goddess), gold earrings, a gold arm band, and a gold necklace with a lapis pendant. this is the main color theme throughout the wedding, cream, gold, and a deep blue. what kind of flowers would be good?

Sounds lovely!Keep in mind that blue flowers don't typically exist in nature. There are some flowers that may be called blue but are really a shade of purple or lavender. Anemones and irises appear blue. Otherwise she could use cream flowers and wrap them with a blue ribbon. Here are a couple sites that list flowers in Greek mythology:http://www.theoi.com/Flora1.htmlhttp://www.valentine.gr/mythology1.htm

hmmm i'm thinking deep blue roses and anemones or hydrangas. maybe tulips toocream gerbers or roses or other filler flowersshe can get gold ribbon to tie the bouquet with and have that drapping down with more cream and blue ribbons. http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dblue%2Bbouquet%26fr%3Dyfp-t-501%26toggle%3D1%26cop%3Dmss%26ei%3DUTF-8&w=500&h=333&imgurl=static.flickr.com%2F182%2F459071568_e36a409d01.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fflowersbymegan%2F459071568%2F&size=81kB&name=Blue%20Bouquet&p=blue%20bouquet&type=JPG&oid=209a9decd6287274&fusr=Flowers%20By%20Megan&tit=Blue%20Bouquet&hurl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/flowersbymegan/&no=1&tt=17855

Have a look at this site for inspiration...http://www.valentine.gr/mythology.htmI think orchids and roses in the right colours (creams and very soft golds or pinks) would be lovely.http://www.nightingalephotoart.com/store/catalog/images/Golden-Rose.jpghttp://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/120643/2/istockphoto_120643_creamy_peach_orchid_spray.jpghttp://www.silkflowers.net/Timeless_Traditions/TT14-04.jpghttp://www.florescoflowers.co.uk/images/wedding/small/cream_posy.jpgOr for a more dramatic look you could use blue orchids or roses? Maybe with a scattering of cream orchids or roses inbetween?http://www.webace.com.au/~chook/orchids/cyanicula/serecea2b.jpghttp://image05.webshots.com/5/2/8/81/173520881ikVyHc_ph.jpg
