Wedding flowers?

okay so my wedding colors are black red and silver i am tring to pair the queen of the night tulip(black looking flower)...with flowers that are red, which shouldnt be a probelm but what do i do to incorporate silver? are there any flowers that look silver? Also does anyone have any ideas about other things to do in the whole black silver red concept.

Wedding flowers?
You can use the foliage of Helichrysum petiolare (licorice plant), it's gray and has nice leaves.

You won't have a problem coming up with red flowers but consider mixing Rosa 'Black Baccara' in because it's a great bridge between the black and red.

Hope this helps some. Congrats.
Reply:Craft stores have all sorts of "filler" type material you can put in with them. There is one type that has a few stems that stick out that are fairly small, but you can use scissors to curl them--like you would do with curly Christmas ribbon. That would be a nice accent. Or you could possibly go with a very small amount of baby's breath spray painted a light silver or with silver glitter on it. I would say just go to a craft store and browse around the floral department. You're likely to walk away with more ideas than you could possibly use. Congratulations and Good luck!
Reply:I would go to a craft store in your area and get some fake silk silver leaves or something, i know its sounds a little off, but even just one little piece with the flowers will make the silver pop out, or consider maybe using silver ribbon to tie together the bouqet?
