Are you having fresh flowers or faux ones?
*don't get me wrong, they make some awesome looking faux florials, I used them in my wedding, very reasonable in price and all colors were "IN" season*
I can't think of any, as of this typing..
What about a brown satin ribbon or something of the likes as a bow and wrapped down the stems, with the two colors for the flowers..

Look for a Leonidas Rose. It is sort of burnt rust brown with the outside of the petals ivory. I even saw some at Sam's Club once but they weren't in as good a shape as the florist got. I am sure a florist could order you a bunch.

can you use a mixture of fresh and pretend flowers. If you can, possibly you could use the pretend stuff as the brown. If you have a place like Michaels where you live their stuff looks real and maybe you could use just a little of the brown. Brown is a hard one. Maybe you can find some type of accent that is brown and work it into your ball.

How about dried peegee hydrangeas? They turn a brownish/reddish when dried?? Maybe even some "dried" flowers??

I went to the National Rose Show last June and there were a couple, I think -- one I can remember is called 'Hot Chocolate'. Hybrid Tea, I think.
I did a google search and I thought this was the best picture to what I saw. It is literally the color of hot chocolate...a milky hot chocolate? Sort of a grayish brown with a teeny bit of lavender for lack of better description. There is NO rust in it -- no yellow, either, and was totally different from anything at the show in terms of color.

When you send your colors I immediately thought of Wood Roses. They aren't roses. They are the seed pod of a tropical flower called a Woolly Morning Glory I think. Anyway the seed pod is brown and looks like a carved wood rose. But if you want to talk expensive these would be. You pretty much don't see them outside of Hawaii. Or other tropical locations.

Search The Garden Helper:
My fiance and I are thinking of creating our own flower arrangements instead of paying out the wazoo for someone simply put flowers in a perfect ball shape.. the only thing is that our wedding colors are teal, brown, and ivory..
Ivory is simple.. almost every flower comes is some shade of ivory/white. Teal isn't even super bad because you can pull off a blue as teal.. (although if you have any suggestions, I'm open...). However, I have searched high and low for some kind of brown flower. Do roses come in brown?
I would appreciate SO much for your input. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
(Btw, it's a June wedding, in case it matters...)
