    I'm having silk roses, meant I could get them in all my autumny colours. When they arrived I was so excited!

    I had white ranunculus, white freesias and white hyacinths, with lime green and dark green foliage. As I did them myself the whole house smelt amazing from when they arrived on the Tuesday! Money saving with added bonus!

    We're having orcids and roses, mainly white but the orcids have a touch of pink.

    Ooh, ours are going to be very colourful too - quite muted but a palette of colours as we don't have a colour scheme either! :D- Sometimes following nature and mixing the colours up can work really well
    I just asked for bright seasonal british "country garden" flowers.I couldn't be bothered with a colour scheme, so I had all of the colours!
    -very fitting like your name rainbow drops

    I had Ivory Roses and Lily Of The Valley - family tradition in memory of my nanna who passed away 9 years ago. She had the same flowers as did my mum and my aunties on their wedding day so i wanted to carry it on x
    - That sounds amazing I love lily of the valley unfortunately it's not in season in september and I can't afford it!

    Another one for fake too. Looking at foam roses, just need to decide if my dress is white or ivory (looks white to me but was listed as ivory).

    We're getting fake as I thought it would be nice for people to keep them, plus my cat has a habit of eating stuff he's not supposed to, especially flowers and plants :o

    Not sure what I'd do with min but I have loads of time to decide.
