I’m getting married next September, I’m having a black and white wedding. Wanted to have burgundy flowers for my bouquet and centers pieces. Was thinking about using Mums and Carnations together. We are pretty much paying for this weeding our self’s and have 17 tables. If any has suggestions that would be a big help.

For the table arrangements, go with silk. You can get any color and they’re cheap (my favorite word). A white vase or glass from the dollar store and you’re all set.

I just recently designed a black and white wedding. We used daisies, tulips, and another flower *I’d have to contact the florist to remind me*. If you use black flowers you risk making it look too much like a funeral. I highly suggest the use of white flowers, w/ black ribbon, etc. Burgundy would look ok w/ the black and white, but I also HIGHLY suggest yellow accents. It is sweet. Please visit my website if you are looking for a reasonable coordinator or just need more advice.

You might want to use Black Magic roses which are beautiful burgundy velvet with your Mums & Carnations.

IMO, any color that isn’t a pastel but is bold and intense can work very well with black-and-white.
Burgundy works. So would red, or bright yellow, or deep pink, or turquoise, or orange, or just about any other color.
What makes sense to me, since money is an issue, is to get with your florist and find out what’s available, is a color you like, and is inexpensive in September. S/He will be able to tell you all the options and what’s a bargain.
Congratulations, and many years of happiness to you both.
