Purple Wedding flowers

LaurensMummy

I would like purple or lilac fresh flowers for my brides bouquet, has anyone got any pics or ideas on which flowers are this colour? (except the obvious Lilac's!).
I really love carnations but can't recall seeing purple ones!

And what is the approx cost of a brides bouquet?. I'm not sure what I am likely to pay.

Thanks for your help x

We are having lilac and seemed to have picked the most awkward colour for flowers as all the flowers I like don't come in the right colour or at the right time (how rude of them?!). After speaking with our very lovely florist, I'm having some white roses and gerberia with lilac freesias and lisianthus.
With regards to the cost, it depends on what type of bouquet you want. Do you want a small posy type one, a big trailing one etc.

im currently madly in love with this picture and i want it! so i would have this for my bms and the opposite for me- so mostly purple for me with some white/ivory ones.
alos love this- but with purple instead of the pink
re cost- all the flowers for my whole day (bms bouquets, my bouquet, button holes, table decs, cermony decs etc) is costing £180

I'm having a posy and had quotes from £35 - £70 if that helps. (Needless to say, I'm not going with the £70 florist)

Thanks for that gives me an idea of what I should be paying, my cousin is a florist so will have to see if I can get a family discount:D

Still not sure whether to go with the fresh flowers or silk as then I can keep them, but I've budgeted on everything so thought I may treat myself to fresh ones!
