There's reason behind the old saying, "fresh as a daisy."
Because when brides of all ages want to express the youthful side of love, nothing beats the daisy in all its guises: from the traditional Shasta, with its echoes of nostalgia and innocence, to the practically-punk Gerber and its contemporary colors.
Shasta Daisy Style
No other flower says "young love" like the Shasta daisy, with its cheery face and paper-white petals. Dear to blushing brides everywhere, the Shasta begs for sayings like, "he loves me, he loves me not — he loves me ... we tied the knot!"
Silhouettes and textures that suit the shasta to a 'tee': eyelet and cotton fabrics. And gowns with a retro-style bell skirt and slender waist, or chic tea-lengths, worn with a flyaway veil.
Reedy, youthful brides look gorgeous in a simple A-line or column style — especially against vibrant greens of a garden or park.
The Shasta also plays well with white organza bows and delicate pastels like lavender, mint green, or baby-chick yellow. They look lovely paired with pastel roses, and in hand-tied bouquets dressed up with pink or yellow satin wraps.
They're a bit fragile, though, so resort to silks for anything like a pomander ball, anything without a water source, or anything your flower girl might carry around.
Gerber Daisy Drama
Gerbers are the Vivienne Westwoods of the flower world. The brides who love them also love design, and modern shocks of color. The most popular palette for Gerber-lovers is probably bright pink and orange. A close second might be pink and green. For Autumn brides, fiery combinations of yellow, orange and red set the scene.
But brides are also designing around Gerbers' purples, peaches and sultry magentas. And let's not forget that Gerbers really pop against dark brown and black (both super-popular shades for bridesmaids' attire. Coincidence?)
All Dolled Up With Daisies
Here are some adorable things we've seen done with daisies:
Wheatgrass Trays
That rich explosion of green makes daisies look fabulous, whether they're white or fuchsia. Take note: the fragile stems need to be wired!
Floating Heads
Single Shasta flower heads floating in votives or shot glasses: adorable. Larger Gerber heads can sometimes fill a whole fishbowl: finish the look with a bright satin ribbon. Or toss these blooms en masse in fountains or pools.
Flashy Splashes
The brightest gerbers call for dramatic echoes elsewhere in your event. Dress your bridesmaids in bright dupioni sashes (salmon or tangerine, say). Swag the ceilings with shiny fabrics to match. Wrap each cake layer in bold, patterned ribbons. Rustle up tangerine parasols and saturated linens and chair covers. Serve a menu of signature drinks in each of your Gerber colors!
Ribbons on Ribbons
Pick a bright palette to match your favorite Gerber daisies, then wrap your vases and votive holders in several layers of ribbon of different widths. For example, layer a bright orange inch-wide satin ribbon over a corrugated two-inch-wide fuchsia ribbon.
Fruit and Flowers
Choose Gerbers of a citrusy hue, then fill your centerpiece containers with sliced lemons, limes or oranges in bright, coordinating colors.
Back to Basics
Just because you love all-white doesn't mean you have to pass on Gerbers: they come in bridal white, too. And with their oversized heads, they've got all the charm of Shastas, plus a fresh and modern spin.
Rustic Roots
Gerbers and Shastas alike can add rustic punch to any affair. Just combine them with a little raffia or twine, birds' nest bouquet collars, galvanized pails, or gingham and mason jars.
For all of you doing pink, yellow, and orange gerber daisies, here are some good pic. ideas.
Hi, I’m getting married October 2, 2010. I am having my girls is chocolate brown and my dress is ivory. My colours for the hall are brown and cream. Now I have a vision of having the flowers “pop.” I am thinking of having reds, oranges, and yellows in the bouquet. I am deffinatly going to be using gerber daises.. I’m just not sure how they will look together or how to arrange them (my aunt is making them) I also want to put red rose in my bouquet to set apart from the other girls. I hope that someone can help. Thanks!

Thank you Stacey for the great ideas. They will come in to good use.
Ok I am renew my vows July 10,2010 my colors are pink and orange I am tryin to think of centerpiece for the tables I am using Gerbers dasiy pink wirh white roses any ideals
Amanda,
i think it would be beautiful to float both types of flower heads in glass bowls. or you could do long stem arrangements of 1 white rose and a few gerberas in a slender vase. you could get cylinder vases and submerge a white rose then have VERY small glass cylinders and have gerberas sitting around the tall centerpiece. one more idea is to submerge 2 gerberas and 1 single white rose in cylinders. top with floating candle.
I was having issues with centerpieces as well, but didn’t want alot of glass or water, so I have opted for paper lanterns with the battery operated bulbs and scattering the fresh flower heads on the table. And to pick this all up I am doing daisy wrapped napkins for an added touch. My colors are hot pink, tangerine, lime and aqua and the gerbera’s will be so pretty and understated on the tables! Congrats!
Hello! I am a very excited bride to be who is going to marry the man of my dreams on april 17 2010. Spring is our favorite season, and We really want a simple, romantic spring wedding.

My wedding is in May 2010 and I have no idea what I’m doing. (Although I did finally get my dress) It’s going to be a wedding on the beach followed by a reception on the lawn of a rental house just about 70 yards from the beach. So far I’ve decided to use a color similar to some found in sea glass (blues/greens) but I haven’t narrowed it down yet. I want to use shasta daisies but I’m not sure how to incorporate the daisy them along with beach theme. Any ideas? Photos are also much appreciated! Especially ideas relating to table settings. I’m going for the casual look with just the right touch of “beachy”. Thanks so much!!!
Hi, I am getting married May 2010. My flowers are going to be shasta daisies and some sort of burnt orange flower. My girls will be wearing burnt orange. my dress is ivory and burnt orange detailing. I want to make my own centerpieces, but not sure what to do. I would like something that is not too tall. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lisa,
i would get some glass bowls and float some shasta daisy heads and surround with candles of different heights.
Lisa, I am getting married April 2010 and had a great idea using small watering cans w/ the daisies. Good luck
Misha,
where did you find your watering cans at? I was thinking about those….
sorry I missed this but check out Michael’s and A.C. Moore
i just had a great idea….for the daisies…..small mason jars…..they are inexpensive and old fashion like…..
Karen,
When I get married I will be using those Starbuck coffee drink bottles with a string of ribbon tied in a bow around the neck of the bottle then put daisies in the bottles. I have seen it done and it looks great
I am getting married October 9, 2010 in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. I have decided on having my two matrons of honor (yep…I’m having two!) wear a horizon blue color dress that is about knee length, and I am planning on having the rest of my bridesmaids wear a Sangria purple dress(kinda like a plum purple color…actually planning having them wear the same dress, just in different colors!). Sounds weird, but it seems to look good! my question is, i am really set on having gerbera daisies, as this is my favorite flower…only problem is, i can’t seem to find any blue or purple gerbera daisies that match. any other colors would work? i don’t want to be clashing too much!
courtney,
i would use white gerberas with greenery, tied off with a pattern or stripe luxury ribbon that blended the dress colors.
You can go to afloral.com they have all colors…Goodluck :
spin that colorwheel ! Incorporate your complimentary colors. Have your girls greet your guests and stand by your side with bright gerbera faces in yellow (with the plum dresses) and orange (with the blue dresses), sash ‘em up with satin or silk ribbon a shade or two lighter than the dress - maybe some wee blossoms of white or plum/blue with the gerberas - I think would just pop
Needing some advice on colors… my dress is Ivory and Rum… would love to use daisys and lillies as my flowers . We are planning on a July wedding. Please help!
hi Billy,
lilies and daisies would be perfect with a ivory and rum dress. can you tell me a bit about waht your venue look like and colors? plus what type of feel do you want to set for your guests. any favorite or special meaning colors?
Do you have a good place to order silk gerber daisies for a pomander?

I am getting married May 1 2010. My colors are grey and orange. The BM are wearing orange dresses with grey sashes and the GM are wearing grey suits with orange ties. I want to use daises b/c it is my future hubby’s favorite flower. I love the calla lilies. How can use both of these flowers together?
Amber,
what i would do is decorate with the daisies( will keep it very spring like and inexpensive too!!)and then have the bm carry a single large calla lily with ribbon. and you can carry the mix of callas and daisies. you didnt specify what type of daisy so i found one with gerbera. love it!!

Hello! We are having a wedding June 2010 in Colorado! We have already decided to have our colors be black and white big polka dots with fuscia! I am set on having gerber daisies as my flowers….I have a couple of ideas on how to really dress it up but I do NOT want any bm or groomsmen wearing polka dots! I just want that to be an added flavor for the reception and hints of ribbon and such at the wedding ceremony. Any cool ideas of how to incorporate polka dots and bright pink gerber daisies? Do you think I need an additional color to add some substance (maybe light pink)? We are soooo excited and thrilled to do something VERY different - it will not be over the top, but it WILL be classy! :) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks-
mariah,
i would have the girls carry fuschia gerbera with black and white polka dot ribbon.

* love this suspended polka dots ( would look fab in black white suspended over the tables from fishing line) even paper lanterns could work over the tables.
*polka dot paper lanterns ( i could imagine these paired with black AND white paper lanterns. suspended over tables with simple white linens, black napkins, with white gerbera centerpieces) you could even do just fuschia and white over black and white tables with fuschia centerpieces.
Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it! The fun part is that there is so much we can do with this idea! :)
Hi, Our wedding day is March 27th, 2010. My dress is going to be a champagne color and I really want to use Pink and Orange Gerbera Daisies. How do you think this will look? I love the colors just not sure how it would go with champagne…..Need ur opinions please
rebecca,
oh i think it will look fantastic.
*real wedding the knot
*wedding table pic, champagne linens with pink and orange florals ( this is the best picture i could find for champagne with pink and oranges flowers, just put gerbera daisies instead) G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!! at least you can see the color combo here. so yes it will look just as fantastic against your dress!!
hey, i love ALL the ideas here but let me tell you my plans now. i am getting married 7-05-2010. we are soooo excited and the planning is going quickly. the theme is shasta daisies! They are the most beautiful, fresh and happy flower i know. it’s a backyard wedding and the landscaping is in the works now. just have to touch up next summer. have fun all.
hi, i’m getting married July 18th, 2010. I know that I want my flowers to be the Red Gerbera Daisy. I was thinking of haveing my bridesmaid wear some sort of cream colored dress, maybe a champaigne color with a sash or some sort of red accent on the dress. will this wirk together? i want the dresse to be short like knee legnth or below the knee…
I was thinking of using the red daisy as the centerpiece and also using the orange gerber dausy favor boxes. I think the BM bouquet will have the red and orange daisy and I will use only the red daisy bouquet.
Help. Does this sound nice?
janelle,
have you considered not having a red accent on the dress and just have a long flowing ribbon on the bm bouquets? it depends if you are wanting fun or more simple elegance. they could wear red rhinestone earrings or have fabulous red shoes. but i do love it!!
help!i’m a bride to be next year.I wanted a combination of blue/white color in my wedding like the sky
i like the gerbera daisies for my bouquet,is there a blue gerbera daisy for that? is it ok to have blue and white gerbera daisy for the bouquet?
thanks for the attention
-joey
joey,
you can ask your florist for dyed or tinted gerbera daisies. or you can diy too. gerbera daisies come in all colors except blue.
*blue gerbera daisy
*blue and white bouquet
it depends on the look youlike. white gerberas mixed with grape hyacinth would look amazing!!
thanks stacey. i try the white gerbera and grape hyacinth. it sounds beautiful.
Anyone know a good place to find silk gerber or gerbera flowers that are bright pink with yellow centers? I want to use these in my bridal bouquet.
Im getting married 4-24-2010 and my fiancee has picked his tux..its black with a white shirt and a champagne vest and tie.. so my friend said fuschia would look good with that.. i also want gerbra daisy as the flowers.. iwas thinking pink and butter..colored..any suggestions..would that be a good combinations.. i have included a pic of the flowers and the 2 bm dresses
brittani,
i do like the fuschia very much. are you gonna have two different bm dress colors or just one? either way the pink and yellow will work well.
yes i was thinking about having the 2 bm dresses.. would that be too much?the fuschia dress will have champagne bow and the champagne dress will have a fuschia bow.. is that too dark for a sppring wedding
brittani, it is beautiful for a spring wedding. i love the fact you are having unmatchy bm dresses. i made you a board to kinda get a feel of what it would look like. i didnt have your exact bouquets so, i improvised in a couple pics, but here is an overall effect. i thought champagne linens looked best. it really adds a simple elegance to the florals and color scheme.
where did you find this pink dress??? it is beautiful!!!
alicia,
which dress were you referring to? the one on my board?
yes, the pink one with the sash
wow, i read your post and i thought it was my wedding! I am getting married 4-24-2010, my colors are pink and yellow, i am doing gerbera daisies as well! They will look fantastic together, i am hoping!
I am the sister in law to be and I helping the bride with creating the bridal party flowers. The wedding is Aug 29, 2009 - we don’t have much time!! The bm dresses are chocolate brown and the bride wants pink as the accent color, the groom however is concerned about the pink for the gm flower and having a pepto bismol wedding. I was thinking a brighter pink/fushia gerbera daisy with green hydrangea for the bm bouquets. But will it look ok if the bride carries a solid bouquet of white shasta daisies or do I need to incorporate some yellow into the bm? For the gm I was thinking white shasta daisies or a green hydrangea bunch for the lapel flower. Any pictures, suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also we are planning on using silk flowers so if anyone has some trusted websites that would be great.
Thank you
Sandra in Wisconsin
sandra,
try saveoncrafts.com i wouldnt worry about incorporating yellow, since the daisies will most likely have yellowish centers. i think white for the bride is ideal. white for the groom, the gm can wear the green hydrangea with a small brown ribbon.

This is unrelated but I had to add it. I am using gerberas and callas in my wedding. I could not find a picture anywhere…. so I had it made. It turned out amazing, so in case you like it to…. here it is. Happy Planning.
I am using yellow and white The table cloths are brown and it looks beautiful.
HELP!! I’m getting married May 2010, and my colors are mocha and clover. I’m having a real hard problem trying to find flowers and keep the colors looking good.
georgia girl,
google image green and brown wedding board; also green and brown wedding. why not have different shades of green with lots of white. it looks sooooo beautiful.
georgia girl,
i think by choosing all white or cream flowers with a little green like in pics will be easy and headache free. then you wont have to worry about matching colors. if you are using white linens have a brown runner with brown napkins, the green will be used in the centerpieces.
take a look at this real wedding:
*project wedding real
Hi Georgia Girl, Here are some pics that might help with your green and brown wedding
I can’t decide on bm dress colors either pink (David’s Bridal- Watermelon) brown ( DB truffle) or a champagne. I do like the idea of different pink on pink bouquets. I just don’t won’t the brown to darken my spring wedding. I was thinking maybe doing more pink and then accent with brown here and there. but then I could do a lighter pink and go with sort of a khaki suit for the gm.
kelly,
i found these links i thought were beautiful… you can substitute the roses for pink and white hydrangeas while the girls carry gerbera daisies tied with brown ribbon.
*wedding ( this will show the girls in the pink with guys in the tan beautiful and light) i would have all greenery centerpieces to pull in springtime and axe using flowers on the table i LOVE the green in the pink and brown polka dot containers so spring like)
*gorgeous wedding ( OMG! this is B-eau-T-ful!!!)
*Our Spring Wedding
*Pink Bouquets and Dresses
this is how i would choose the color for the bm dress. if you have either brown or champagne have a darker suit for guys with champagne vests or ties. if you have the pink have the lighter suits. i personally am torn cause they all look great! if you want a more light hearted feel to the wedding put the girls in the pink/light suits guys. if you want more elegance put them in the brown or champagne ( check it on their skintone; champagne is tough to wear washing out most skintones) brown will probably be better to enhance. i am am worried about the truffle. i think that shade is gonna be tough, i cant tell if its a creamy brown? or a ruddy brown? if going with brown i would consider a rich chocolate.
kelly,
i went back and looked at the dress colors. you could meet in the middle with the latte( if it flatters skintones). this way you could do either the light suits or the dark on the guys. to me the color is like mixing the champagne with a little brown. it is a beautiful color. so is the mocha. just a thought.
Thanks for all the tips……ya’ll have some great ideas!!!
My wedding is May 2010 I like the colors pink and brown, I like gerber daisies (all colors) and pink hydrangeas. I am having trouble making it all come together and look nice and springy. Any suggestions?!!
Would you consider pink and tan rather than brown? Those colors look elegant together and I think it would pull your whole spring look together!
Good luck & Congratulations!
kelly,
ya soon!!
can you give me a few more details like what id the bridal party wearing etc. i will put together some ideas. also would you consider pink on pink bouquets? just have a lighter shade of flower against a deeper shade. wrap with beautiful brown satin ribbon. til then google image pink and brown wedding then pink and brown wedidng board. let me know if youwant bold or pastel. what type of look ado you envision? talk to
Hi Kelly,
I would like to start off by saying that I’m an event planner, and we try to focus on classy not trashy. I know you want classy for your wedding. Well….I went to a wedding where Gerber Daisies were used, and it was a cute idea, except in terms of the decorations. The bride decided that she wanted all the decorations to be all different colored gerber daisies but with artificial flowers. she also wanted these bunches to be plastered EVERYWHERE we’re talking all the walls, all the surfaces that she could, she stuck these daisies of all colors around. It looked cheap and hideous! Now I have nothing against daisies, or going multicolored, except you should try to stick with about 2-3 colors in the same spectrum on the color wheel. This idea would have worked out okay even with the artificial flowers if she had stuck with just 2-3 colors. Instead she had hot pink, hot orange, bright yellow, and dark purple. Ewww. It still would have worked even then if she had placed all the colors with white, and left out the dark purple. But somehow it didn’t. I think what happened is that she stuck the orange and the purple together, and it totally clashed. It looked like Halloween. Okay for October, but not for early March. She also did not include any greenery in her floral arrangements. I do florals too, and I’ve found that the flowers tend to look cheap often times, if you don’t include a little green in them. (on the tables, or overarchways etc. )
Personally I would go with about 3 colors of the daisy that compliment each other. Such as the white, yellow and orange. Or yellow, orange, and pink. You could also go with light or hot pink, and white daisies, and the brown to accent with satin ribbons on the chairs, or napkins, or table signs. I would use the brown as an accent, and the white daisies and pink hydrangeas you picked as your main color splashes. You could also have your attendants wear chocolate brown and carry white daisies with the pink hydrangeas. I’ve seen several photos of that type online, and it’s really cute. You could also try having a chocolate frosted cake with pink hydrangeas and white daisies to top it off. Don’t try the brown tulle whatever you do-it does not come out looking cute. -Trust me on that one. Stick with satin ribbon if you want the brown color in there, and do pink or white tulle accents. I hope this helps you!
I also was planning on a May 2010 spring wedding with neon color gerber daisy’s, I have already talked to friends and have decided on just 3 colors now, one of them being green as you suggested. Well, now I have to postpone my wedding till August of 2010. I hope those colors will be ok. i really don’t want to change my colors (fuschia, lt. blue, cream and green as an accent color) just because of the month. I plan on silk for the decorations and real for the bouguets/corsages. I am wanting a somewhat simple deco of gerbers for the tables.
Hi Kelly, Here are some more photos that might help you…..
Hi Kelly -
I am also getting married May 2010 and am doing chocolate and pink. I am using DB Watermelon for my bm dresses and my moh is wearing DB truffle. My gm are going very casual with khakis, sandals, and truffle colored long-sleeved dress shirts un-tucked and my groom in a white shirt, khakis, and sandals. My gm are getting mini pink gerbs with some greenery for their lapel flowers. I am using different shades of pink gerbs and mini gerbs for my bouquets and nothing else. I am also using different shades of pink and some white faux gerbs for my centerpieces. I think part of making your wedding “Springy” is making it simple. My centerpieces are going to be 3 faux gerbs in different shades of pink and white in a tall cylinder vase with only a little water and some pink and brown glass shards. Each vase will also be sitting on a mat that I’m making using circular pieces of mirror all placed together like a puzzle. I don’t have any pictures of this, but I’ve seen it done using purple and red at another wedding and it looked amazing!!

Is your weeding outside?
Is your wedding outside?
I am doing the flowers for a friends wedding and her colors are pink and a seafoam green and I am having a ridiculous time finding the green that I need.. my question is has anyone ever tried to dye silk flowers to the color that you need and if so how did they turn out..
Hi Jenni,
Don’t bother trying to dye silk flowers. That’s waaaayy too much work going there. Plus they usually look cheap and ugly in the end. I would just stick with white or pink flowers, and accent the ribbons and other little details with the seafoam green. For another touch Michaels Crafts stores carries seafoam colored petals in their bridal section for the aisle or for the table tops. The key to artificial flowers is in the amount and types of greenery you use. If the greenery looks realistic, then the rest of it will too. I’ve even used flowers from the Dollar store before and accented with the greenery, and they looked good. You should check out flower websites like Pro flowers, and FTD.com, and try to copy their arrangements for weddings. That’s how I’ve had mine turn out so good, because I use the same flowers and colors, and just match up the picture with the real thing online. It works every time.
I like the idea of flower seeds for favors (seed packets with the whole “watch our love grow” type sayings) but I haven’t quite find the perfect one. Has anyone seen anything cute that’s not too expensive?
I am doing a three gerber and a five gerber with hypercium berries - do you know if the gerbers need to have chenile inserted into the stems so they won’t flop, have never worked with gerbers before. thanks.
jean,
yes they will or they will flop over.
*wedding florals
Don’t put chenille in the Gerbera’s. Make sure they are well hydrated. You can wire them if you are nervous about them getting floppy.
I am looking for the altimate daisy wedding favor in either light yellow or pink can someone help
arlene, i am a sucker for edible favors above all!! i would do either a frosted daisy cookie in clear plastic bags with the most adorable ribbon saying ” He loves me we tied the knot” ribbon (just google image this phrase) or a daisy ribbon. another idea would be daisy lollipops in yellow and pink and tie up and give as bouquets. ( google image daisy lollipops) they are just so great!!
arlene, also google image daisy cookie lollipop ( covered in plastic and ribbon) for the cutest idea!! just set in vases or stuck in styrofoam in a large container or pails it will look like flowers growing. dont 4get to cover the styrofoam with artificial grass!!
I am planning a June wedding. My colors are tiffany blue and kind of like a pastel green. I am looking for artifical gerbera daisies in those colors. Does anyone know where I might be able to find them?
Thanks
It’s been a while but Pottery Barn used to sell silk Gerbera daisies. Don’t know if they would still carry them, but worth a try. Good Luck!
I need serious help. I am looking for fuschia/magenta( I want them to look pink not purple)colored gerbera daisies. I am using fuschia, soft pink and white for my bouquets. I ordered some from afloral.com but didnt really like them. I am running out of time! Please help
I am getting married in June 2010. I love gerbera daisies. I’m having a hard time coming up with a color palette for the wedding. I thought I wanted blues and greens…..but against the gerberas I’m not sure anymore…..any ideas?
miranda,
hi, google image gerbera daisy wedding then gerbera daisy wedding board. (also google search) go to theknot.com under wedding photos it will take you to wedding galleries. one is flowers;daisies. check it out. you can also look at different colors to see what appeals to you. now google image blue and green wedding board. hopw you find something!! i will tell you a beautiful combo for daisies and that is brown and hot pink or yellow. it looks soooo good!! you can add a bit of whimsy with polka dot invites, polka dot ribbon on favor bags, around the cake, bouquets. stripes work too! another color scheme is blue with hot pink gerberas. the sky is the limit. one more to google image is gerbera daisy theme wedding. switch it up to get different results.
White gerbera daisies next to blues and greens would look really pretty!! It’s funny that Stacey mentioned theknot.com because one of the pictures under gerbera daises is of some bridesmaids in a light blue w/ white gerbera daisies, and it looks REALLY pretty! If you want something with more color, you could go with a lighter pink or something. Just a thought :)
My wedding is May 9th, 2009. I am doing an outdoor wedding and I am using Red and Yellow gerbers with white daisies. My bouquets are going to be tied with natural colored Rafia. The red, yellow, and white, just seem really cheery together. Hope that might help.
I was married in June of 08 and used gerberas. My main color was a turquoise (bright) blue and I used several other colors of gerbers as accents. It all popped and got rave reviews from everybody that attended. If you would like some pics please email me at kermassura@gmail.com and I will be happy to send some. I used fake and got alot of them at hobby lobby (1/2 price of course)!!
Hi Everyone,
These are the flowers its not the best picture but they are orange gerbers daisies, lime green roses and pink lillies. They are fake flowers.

I am having a May wedding and my colors are pool blue, silver and ivory. And since I like lots of colors put together so great flowers. They are lime green roses, bright orange gerber dasies and some pink flowers which I am not sure what they are called if you would like to see a picture. I am happy to show you. Just let me know.
I love the idea of green, orange and pink. Can you please send me a picture?
Thanks
Does anyone have experience putting a 3-flower bouquet of gerber daisies together? Or does anyone have a picture of this that looks elegant and classy? My sister wants this for her wedding, and I’m trying to find examples, so we can make this for her.
I am using gerbers for my wedding as well. My bridesmaids are carrying 3 flower bouquets as well. The florist that I am using is staggering them and tying them with a green bow, because with them bunched up it didnt look good at all. Hope this helps!
I love the sundress look but am having a hard finding any at a good price any suggestions? My wedding is 7/11/09 and my colors are yellow and pink
earlina,

Go to Davids bridal.com and enter style number F12892 they are on clearance and they have a beautiful pink and yellow dress and believe me they look beautiful on, my bridemaids are wearing these
I suggest waiting until Easter time and looking for basic sundresses in those colors. They are easterish colors so that could be a good shot. Good Luck!
Hi Ladies,
I am looking for white daisies, (paper or silk) that I can use like confetti around my centerpieces.
Oriental trading company has them!
Yes, Kelly’s right. They have them at Oriental Trading, I got some for me wedding, as well. They’re very cute! Not too small.
Ladies, I need help– I have a country and western theme for my wedding and Im trying to figure out colors and what a country and western flowers. Thank goodness I have till June 2010 to figure this out. Any advice will be of great help.
Kay, do you have any fave colors? Where will it take place? What are the colors there? this will help me to narrow down some ideas!
I had to do flowers for a country western prom and I used red, orange, and yellow gerbera daisy. Also put some cat tails and greenery on the back. And to tie all the stems together i used a red bandana. They were very cute and very country!!
Kay,
I did a country western theme for my son’s reception. I used blue mason jars with raffle tied around them and used rhod. in them. You could use daisies or gerber daises with something green from the yard. Fern or a shrub. I used gavalnized tubes for ice and drinks. Baskets for food. I used bandannas for napkins. You can get them for $1 a dollar stores and I found some material and made some. I purchased some cheap denim material (look for denim tablecloths, etc that are cheap) and made squares about 36 x 36 and put them diagonly in the middle of a long 8 to 10 foot table that was covered with a white sheet. I used cowboy hats around and turned them up and placed a bowl in them and served out of them. Don’t use too many. If you are using certain colors, spray paint your galanized tubs whatever color you wish. Red is great! Remember that $1 can of spray paint with do wonders on thrift finds. Look for cheap saddle blanket finds. Throw them over a chair or bale of hay. Find an old milk can about two feet tall that old timers put their milk out to sell. Spray paint it and put tall flowers or sticks in it. When I used the bandana napkins, most people took them home with them as a favor.
I have less than 3 weeks til my wedding, Im having a hard time to get a design for a centerpiece, if anyone has great ideas on what to do please help!
Jscki,
Congrats!!! just google image gerbera daisy centerpiece and gerbera daisy wedding also look at the knot.com under wedding photos then color galleries it has flowers by name too ( gerbera daisies). i personally love 1 gerbera daisy in a vase and put together several in group. also google image daisy centerpiece.
Do not use Farmstogo.com. The flowers arrived in horrible condition and they will not refund. The gerber daisies looked horrible. I had to go to the local grocery to make the bouquets and I’m still out $100.00 for flowers I could not use!
i love this idea. i am planning my wedding and i think i will go with this theme. the flowers make a lovely bouquet. they will complement my cake, reception, and ceromony!!!!
I’m getting married August 09 in my mother’s backyard by her pool. I was thinking of putting big pink gerber daisey heads in the pool. Has anyone seen this done before? And how well do they float? Should I use real ones or silk? Thanks
Gerber Daisies are amazing when floated! They are beautiful flowers and float perfectly - I would definitely recommend real, as artificial flower colors can sometimes bleed or lose their color when submersed. Plus, it’s probably safer for the pool to use real flowers if one should get caught in the filter!! :-)
Silk will not float but, real ones will. It may be a little expensive to just float flowers. Maybe check into floating some candles and flowers.
HI… I’m doing a daisy themed wedding as well. Getting Married Aug 09 and we are using gerber daisys floating on the top of our centerpiece and have bettas. The florist say they float well. My worry is the chlorine. I’d test it out as soon as you open your mom’s pool for the summer to make sure they last.
I am getting married 9/19/09 and want to know if the bright orange, deep pink and yellow daisies appropiate for this time of year? Since I live in SC and Sept. is still really warm I would think it would be okay!
Thanks
liz,
oh absolutely! it will be beautiful, yeah these southern climates get crazy! its gonna be in 77 degrees in a couple days here in louisiana.

I think it would be cute. I am doing the daisy theme too and the way I see it is, it’s my wedding and if I like it, it goes. :)
I am looking for 9 -18- 10 and I am using pink daisies and I dont care what anyone has to say it is your day do what you want to do!
im looking at all the colors of the gerber daisys.. and i could have swarn that there is a blue gerber daisy, if anyone knows let me know im planing a gerber daisy theamed wedding and the colors are blue and pink. i need help!!
inga,
yes, google image and search blue gerbera daisy. they are dyed blue.
*Can white gerbera daisies be dyed blue?
I am a floral designer and I have seen novelty daises (not gerbera) that have been dyed blue…however, if you are wanting to use blue why not opt for a blue container–such as a cobalt blue square glass container or a clear glass container, use water and add in blue marbles or rocks. I have never tried to dye gerbera daises, but I come from the school that if it didn’t come from nature, don’t mess with it!
I had Blud daisies in my flower arrangements!! They were ordered died that color….which, by the way, is not that expensive!!
Are you looking for real or silk daisies? If you are looking for silk gerber daisies, I like this website http://www.save-on-crafts.com/pinkdaisy2.html
There are many different colors here, including blue and pink.
I am getting married 4-11-09 the flower is the Gerber daisy in fuchsia and orange. I need help locating them in 2 inch silk. Any suggestions???
Hi I am getting married May 30 of 2009 and I am a young bride and totally lost on what kind of flowers and what color of flowers. My colors for the wedding are pool blue, ivory and silver. I thought about doing bright colors but I dont know what will look good. Our wedding is an outdoor wedding and I am totally lost. Please anyone out there that can give me any ideas please email me at marlanamoore@hotmail.com.
marlana, you can still use bright colors in the florals. have bm in pool blue carrying a mix of colors (like in board pic) you carry ivory, pick only 1 solid flower color from bm bouquets for centerpieces, silver can be in silverware, and other “accents”, jewelry, bm shoes, just simple silver touches here and there.

I think it would look really nice if you had a nice light pink flower bouqet…not too many other colors in the bouqet!! Sounds very pretty.
Hello All,
I am planning my wedding for July 09. Would any have knowlege of the expected cost for daisies.
I am ordering my flowers from theflowerexchange.com and they are coming to .86 cents a piece.
Hi, I did all of my own flowers and used gerber daisies. I got them from farmstogo.com and for less than 400 I was able to do more than 13 ceneterpieces and 5 bouquets. Let me know if you want pics. It was a lot fo work, but fun, cheap and easy
Hey. I am getting married in may and am doing gerber daisies. It is going to be an outdoor wedding. I am not sure all of the arrangments that I will be needing. If you can please send me some pics. It has been really hard for me to find wedding pictures. Thank you sooo much

Hi, how did you find farms to go? I want to buy my daisy’s from them. I am a little nervous. I’d love to see your pics if you have them.
I would LOVE to see your pics as I am also DIY on the flowers! My wedding is in July (the 18th). I’m looking at fiftyflowers.com and my colors are two different shades of blue. Fiftyflowers has a tri-color blue and white rose and of course the regular-sized gerbera daisies and gerberminis. I would really like blue gerbera daisies though!

Hi there, My daughter is getting married and is thinking about gerber daisies. Could you send some pictures to me? How do they hold up in the heat. The wedding is July 11,09.
Thanks so much! ~Gail~
My daughter is using daisies for her wedding in July….I would love to see your pictures. The wedding is outdoors…did they hold up okay in the heat. Thanks
Hi my colors are turquoise blue and lemon yellow.I’m having a june wedding and I want to do a daisy theme.I want gerber daisys for the girls should I get dye blue r just do yellow and white are what and should do bouquet or let lay on arm.What should do for my bouquet?
katherine,
i would stick with simple yellow and white. it will be beautiful elegant. it really depends on the style of your dress, body type, and type of ceremony. google search this : best bouquet style
and you will find the right bouquet for you and your bm’s.
Hi I would like to see pictures! I am trying to do my wedding on a budget and want to do my bouquets myself but not really sure of how to do it! fintonnb@email.uc.edu thank you!
We were able to pick up silk daisies at Michael’s and Hobby Lobby for 50% off. We are also having a July Wedding and thought the silk would stand up to the Missouri heat.
Hi Girls,
I’ve been reading your posts about gerbera daisy themes, so I thought I would share my ideas. I am getting married on 8/1/09. My maids are waring lime green (don’t freak, it’s an awesome shade and looks fantastic against their tan skin) and they will be carrying bright bold bunches of hot colored gerbera daisies, primarily yellow, orange, and hot pink. I am also taking extra fabric from the gowns and wrapping the stems in that green shade.
My centerpieces are going to be high/low combos with slices of citrus fruit then bright gerbera and other tropical bouquets arranged on top. I am so excited!
Any other ideas, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks
I think we were cut from the same mold!! I am getting married 5/24/2009, and your wedding/reception sounds exactly like mine! Freaky.
I am getting married in July and instead of using limes, I am using frozen peas. The cost difference is huge!! My colors are pink and green too.
Sounds gorgeous! I love the bright color combos.
hi
i am getting married march 7th. i am having a hard time finding center piece? what do you think about a single daisy for the bridesmaids? or maybe six? please help!

* i think a single gerbera daisy would be stunning and affordable! just pick a blemish free bloom with dark center to give contrast, for xtra pop add simple green grasses to the flower with a beautiful bow and trailing ribbon. if you do decide to use more blooms(i would choose 3min.-5 max.) my art teacher taught me to keep it an odd number, she said apply that to any decor in groupings. hope this helps!!

This daisy wedding is just so sweet with the swiss dots on the cake and that gorgeous bouquet with the chocolate cosmos and pale yellow roses setting off the daisies. Great inspiration for our Shasta daisy brides.
It’s all perfect for their low-key but chic outdoor wedding … the groom wore chocolate brown, the bridesmaids pale yellow.
Check out the whole set while you’re there, what a lovely couple, and they posted the pro pics god bless ‘em! See LemonJenny’s Wedding

We are doing tiffany blue well turquoise and brown.. We are using pink yellow and orange and white gerberas.. The color are amazing. We are buying 500 hundred fake gerbera so i think it is awesome.. The colors really stand out..
Where are you buying your gerberas from? I’ve been looking for a good place to buy them.
Are you wanting Artiifical flowers? If so I got mine at Garden Ridge that have so many varieties and colors.
SaveOnCrafts …
hi. i am doing pink gerberas. i found some from flowersandfreshness.com. they are really pretty!
That is the best color combo! Thats what I am doing for my wedding! I picked Azuala Pink, Turquoise, and Chocolate Brown. I wanted all the colors included so the dresses will be either turquoise with brown accent and pink flowers, or brown with turquoise accents with pink flowers!!!!! There are lots of options! Have fun with it!!
Hey!
I am getting married on Aug 21 2009 . My wedding colors are azalea pink, turquoise, and chocolate brown. :) they look great together! Have fun planning!!!!
have the girls wear a brown dress. then use the pink and teal as accent colors. like a teal ribbion on the dress. then use all th flowers in the boquet. the flowers will pop with the dress being the background for the flowers. i am using the same colors for my wedding in june.2009. just an idea. this is what i am planning on doing
I am doing a Breast Cancer awareness wedding and would love to hear any ideas about using pink gerbera daisies or anything else that may look nice.
Hi Sarah!
Your event is going to be great. Pour a cup of coffee, I have lots of thoughts, this was a lot of fun to think about!
OK, Brides did that Something Pink event for breast cancer, wrote it up in last Nov/December’s magazine. They did not say much about the party in there but did show some delicious pink wedding gowns. You can see those online here.
Now, for an actual Pink Ribbon theme wedding, check out Susan & Jeff’s wedding. A must-see.
Susan’s daughters (bridesmaids) wore beautiful white dresses with a pink floral motif. Susan, a beautiful halter-top pink evening gown in pale pink with pink embroidery. The men were in black, with black vests and pink ties (note - good choice. This keeps the guys from looking like pink bunnies when they throw off their jackets five minutes after pics.) She had lovely Pink Ribbon cookies and a pink champagne fountain.
OK, a few more ideas: serve pink drinks: pink champagne, rose or blush wines (oh yes there are GOOD ones these days), there is even a funky wine called Pink with very cute bottles. For non-drinkers serve pink lemonade in the iced tea jars or the chic Lorina sparkling lemonade in the glass bottles.
Use pink in surprising places: bright pink cake interior, pink shoes, even a pink gown. Pink carnations make amazing structures. They look so chic that way. You can put them under placecards like in the photo, or surround the cake stand for example.
You don’t have to go ONLY pink and white with this theme, but I feel brighter colors are better complements: like pale orange or green. Avoid choc brown or black so it won’t look at all mournful.
Check out Martha Stewart’s famous hanging tissue paper flowers, these look really great with gerber themes.
She gives you the full how-to. Would look smashing if you use white and different shades of pink.
Oh, and since this is a favors site I would be quite remiss if failing to mention our small but nice Pink Ribbon favor collection (10% of cost donated).
OK, take a look at the pics attached and see what you think! I hope this helps! Let me know!
PS, just ran across a reminder of Portia de Rossi’s BEAUTIFUL Zac Posen wedding gown (white satin halter, pale pink ballgown skirt) at Percy Events … had to post it!
Sarah, two more great finds from the CandyAddict blog! Check these out.
hi here are some pics that i have:)
On the cake instead of the lilys, you could put pink gerberas to replace, would look really nice
Hi Sarah,
I recently made satin fabric tassles for a wedding. The scheme was pink and green, but I made a pink tassle for the ladies room door. It was no mistaking where they should go. I have only one pink tassle, but I made centerpieces with a tassle above a satin basket with a daisy flower on it. I don’t have a photo of that yet, but here is a photo of the tassle. I could make more if you need them.
I know it is a little naughty, but there are other uses for tassles….and your theme is for cancer awareness!! I also have quite a few gerbers if anyone is interested.
I like the brides bouquet in this picture, what is the greenery used in this bouquet, and where can i buy it?
Fawn, that is bear grass, it is really popular for creating that modern-looking loop effect over a hand-tied bouquet. I’m not sure where you are, but here we have a grocery store called Wegmans which has very upscale floral section in every store and you can usually buy it there. Ask your grocery store florists.
If you don’t have something like that talk to a more specialized florist and see what they can do. A few blocks away from here there’s one who gets regular FTD deliveries and will order you just about anything for next day, maybe that’s an option. You can also order it online from the bulk flower sellers like FiftyFlowers. HTH!
Thanks…now does the bear grass automatically loop like that or do you have to loop it from the middle out and when I floral tape the boquet, i would put the grass to stay looped??
Fawn, there’s actually a video on YouTube that’s all about how to add bear grass to your bouquet. It shows what the grass looks like when you buy it, and how to shape it and tape it into place. Brief but good. Check this out:
How to Make Wedding Bouquets and Corsages : Add Bear Grass to Your Wedding Bouquet

I love the vase with pink gerbera daisies and those pink twirly pieces! What are they called and where can I find them. I think that will add just what I need for my July wedding center pieces!
Does anyone know where i could find plaid dresses like in the above picture??
i’m looking to find dried or silk gerbera daisy petals for flower girl and table decorations. Anyone know where I can find such a place to buy them?
Fawn,
I coul dnever find any that looked real, or pretty for that matter, So I bought a daisy whole punch, and used gift tissue paper in my colors and used it kinda like confetti. Just an idea! Hope it helps!
Jasmine,
Thanks, do you happen to have any pictures of the confetti look?
Fawn,
Not yet, my wedding is next Saturday, so I will post some.
My colors are mocha & red. The date is october 25. i love gerber daisies and also like dahlieas. does anyone have pics or suggestions?
anything from bouque to boutenieres.
Christine, red & brown (all shades) is such a hot combo, but it’s really so new that it’s tough to find pics. Maybe between us here we can come up with something for you, I’ll think about it!
Oh, check out Misti2k2’s Chocolate & Red wedding. Her brown is darker but she’s done a lot of research and you’ll probably get some inspiration there!
I’m so excited to find people planning as far in advance as I am! Everytime I go to a local store they look at me like I’m crazy because our wedding is almost a year away! (07-25-09) Our colors are hot pink and a “teal” color. I’ve already ordered lots of stuff, and found MANY websites I really like. I just received centerpiece vases from save-on-crafts.com and cb2.com, as well as gerbera daisy’s from save-on-crafts.com. I’ve ordered almost everything else, napkins, groomsman’s mugs, bubbles, and camera’s from theknot.com (they have sales all the time and when you catch ‘em it’s great deals.) For real flowers I found theflowerexchange.com. I did find bridesmaid dresses on therosedress.com that I loved, but ended up going through the local bridal shop here due to the deal she gave me if I got everything through here, and those are Mori Lee dresses, I’m getting them for my maids for $100.00. Also oriental trading has lots too. Now I am needing ideas on invitations! I’m thinking I’m going to do a DIY kit, has anyone found any cool ones? And what about bridesmaid gifts? I have no idea, they are all so different!
I am getting my invitations from a local store but the stationary company is called Lucky Onion. They are new and VERY reasonible. I am getting 80 invitations with response cards & return addressed envelopes for a little over $200. They will allow you to do multiple colors (they have a lot of bright choices) and get a color proof at no additional cost!
My wedding is in July, 2009 and my colors are an emerald green and white. I love the contrast and I am hoping to come up with a simple but classy centerpiece that will add to this. I am certainly working with a limited budget here, but I have access to square mirrors for the tables and up to 3 cylinder vases per table. Any ideas?? 8-|
I just had my Gerber Daisy wedding on August 23, and we used cylinder vases with square mirror tiles for our centerpieces. We purchased submersible L.E.D. lights and put them in the bottom of the cylinder vase, filled the vase with water, and then floated sheer ribbon in the vase. In each corner of the square mirror tile, we placed a votive candle that had thin satin ribbon tied in a bow on the glass votives. The thin satin ribbon matched the sheer floating ribbon in the cylinder vase.
ANyone know where you can buy sheer tablecloths?
Lori, suggest you search ebay for sheer table overlays or organza table overlays.
Wherever you find them, feel free to snap some lovely pics and list them here after if you want to resell!
I am planning an October wedding and planning on using the dark orange Gerber Daisy. Money is tight and I need any ideas for cute but cheap centerpieces….. Any ideas???
Savannah,
I don’t know how fancy you want to go but for my wedding next August I’m using sunflowers and burgundy gerber daisies. For my centerpieces I was going to use quart sized mason jars as vases a place a couple of flowers in them and then tie a coordinating ribbon around the neck. Then I was going to use pint sized jars as candle holders to place around the larger jars. You could do any combination of this. For me since my mom, grandmas and aunts all can the jars are free. But you could do something similar by getting all different vases and glasses at a dollar store for a low price. HTH!!!
Erin
Hi,
I have never written on one of these forums but I wanted to ask you how you were going with your burgundy and sunflower theme. Do you have any pics of sunflowers with burgandy daisies? I was thinking of sunflowers and burgundy roses but I really have no idea.
I dont really want to go to town with yellow - I just want the sunflowers as an accent to a rustic italian theme. I would like to have burgundy bridesmaid dresses if possible.
What colour are your bridesmaid dresses?
Have you used the theme colours throughout the venue?
Any more info would be greatly appreciated my wedding is Sept 09 but I am just getting started.
Thanks for your help.
Jo

thank you !!
hello I’m getting married april, 18, 2009 in a church. My theme is centered around bright gerbera daisy’s. I was just wondering if anyone had any idea’s or pictures on how to decorate a church in this theme. My bridesmaids and groomsmen will be in yellow.
hey tiffany,
im getting married next June 13 and my flowers are going to be gerber daisies too. If you want to email me at sjr1980@gmail.com I will send you some things that might help you.
I am getting married in April 2009. I am having gerber daisies pink, yellow, and orange. I want to have the bridesmaids wearing pink dresses with a little orange on them. I can not find a dress pink with orange on it. I do not fushia. Anyone seen any pink dresses with any orange on them?
Lori,
Check out dessy.com you can try different combinations of dress colors. Plus it gives you locations of stores on where to find these dresses. Hope this helps.
Thanks for giving my the website for the bridesmaids dresses.
I have another question thing I would like to know. Are gerber daisies blooming around the beginning of May. My wedding day is May 2 of 2009, I didn’t know for sure when these types of daisies bloomed
thanks
Ok so I’m planning my wedding in May of 09 and our color theme is navy/marine blue and silver-with a star theme as well-night under the stars. Our wedding is inside a country church. We are looking at daisies but we don’t know what colors to go with. I’m not sold on the wild daisy. I like the geber daisies with a bright statement can I work with that? Can you help find the perfect color of daisies that go with marine blue bm dresses?
Thanks
We will be using these on 8-8-08 and will be selling them the next day. We will have 6 flower balls that have over 40 gerbers daisys and a flower girl ball and some type of centerpiece with more gerbers as well. We got these flowers at Hobby Lobby here in Michigan. I will post pictures when the wedding takes place, it’s outside at a Country Club.
Does anyone know of a good website I can use to buy artificial Shasta Daisies? I want a country wedding because I live on a ranch and Shasta Daisies are my favorite flowers, but I am having a hard time finding fake flowers that look fairly real. Help!
My wedding is June 13, 2009. My BM are wearing champagne colored dresses and I am using gerber daisies. I was wondering if anyone has any pics or ideas you can tell me about how to do arrangements for my ceremony. I only really want to use gerber daisies and some greenry. If anyone has any pics I would appreciate it so much
We had a Gerber Daisy theme, using red, yellow, orange, lime green, and pink. Each bridesmaid carried a different colored bouquet, and the groomsmen matched the bridesmaid they walked with. My bouquet had all 5 colors, plus white… It really turned out beautiful!!
Please Help. I have spent hours on the internet searching for Gerber Daisy invitations with not much luck. Most invitations that I have found are white and I am looking for a lot of color such as orange, yellow, bright pink. Any suggestions?
Check out blossom accents…. gerbera daisy invitations.
Where did the person get the pink and orange ribbon for tables? I am doing a pink and orange wedding in April 2009 and need some ideas.
Hi Catie,
You could always just take the petals off of daisies for the tossing. Or you could buy the silk daisies and cut them off for the tossing.
OR you could check out Balloons Galore, which has daisy “shaped” silk petals. which effectivly are little silk daisies in almost any color you could want. Check it out.
i am looking for gerbara daisy peddles for the flower girl to spaerd in front of the bride
Totally adorable gerber destination wedding! In citrus green, orange and fuchsia (duh), this took place last Halloween in Aruba. I really love those lime green sashes, you don’t see those every day … and the cool, graphic cake just makes the most of those wild flowers! Destination cakes can be a bit uninspired … but this one rocks. Even the gorgeous bride’s e-pics coordinate. Plus, don’t you LOVE that seashell ring pillow? (She made it). You can see the whole wedding here.
HELP!!!!
My wedding is in September and i am looking for a very specific type of Gerber daisy. I want a burgundy daisy where the petals are all the same length. This would be the old type of Gerber daisy, not the newer versions with multiple petal lengths and layers. Does anyone know where i can find some silk flowers like this. Please help I am getting desperate!
I have decided to go through http://www.flowerwholesale.com I am hoping everything works out well. I am very nervous to buy online, but they seem to be a legit company, and they had a wide range of colors in gerbers!!!
Here are a few more centerpiece ideas hope they help!
Connie-
Thanks so much! I have found a few ideas that I liked. I think since bowls are so expensive that I may do the votives with flowers around them with the runner. I also liked the idea of the small vases.
Jasmine-
I saw in an earlier post that you are also wanting to buy your daisies online. Where are you ordering yours? I found http://www.farmstogo.com that I liked because you can choose the colors of the gerberas.
Keep the ideas coming! I love getting the input from others!
Thanks,
Tracy
Hi Tracy, I am also using gerbers in hot pink and orange, and dont have a huge flower budget, for our centerpieces we are using goldfish, despite all of the negative feelings some people have, but they color will be perfect and they are inexpensive. They will look cute in little bowls w/ black rocks and we are going to but 2 flowers in each bowl. I am also posting some pictures of centerpieces I considered, Hope this helps good luck!

Here are soem great pics from the dariajohnson.net website. She is a photographer, and you should look under “love stories” on her site for the wedding pics. Thanks to Marianne, for the great link! Some of her pics made me cry. There is such a story behind every single one, and I don’t even know these people!:?
Hi Tracy,
Gerbera’s are so big, you don’t really need that many to create a centerpiece, which is good for the budget too. Why don’t you just keep it simple with a couple (1-2) daisies in a bud vase or smallish vase, with two or three small votive candles around it? You could tie a ribbon of your choice around the vase, and place a coordinating cloth napkin or wide ribbon runner under the arrangement in the center of the table. You could also take two or three daisies in different colors and fill up a medim sized mason jar and stick them in. This would look cute and country chic for an outdoor garden wedding like the I’m doing for my sister. If you do decide to have the floating gerberas in a glass bowl, it would only take one or to to fill each as they are large. You could also fill the bottom of the bowl with colored pebbles, or marbles.
A cute idea that I’ve been seeing a lot latley is simply doing a single flower in a vase (it could even be a simple glass dollar store vase) and place a black and white photo of you two together on each table. Every table has a different photo. I’m sure you probably have plenty of photo’s that you could chose from that you have taken in the time that you have been engaged. Each one could represent a different occasion together, or special time, or even a funny moment. You could display these mounted onto cardstock paper, and placed in a little plastic easle. You can get the easles at the dollar store or from a dollar up at most craft stores. You would only need a little one for each photo. You can upload your digital photos to Costco.com or a similar site. But I know for a fact that at Costco, you can change the colors of the photos and size, type etc. Each photo from Costco with the changes made to it is usually around a dollar or under. And you can get them mailed to you too! The photos could be either 4×6 size, or 5×7 size. Everyone loves looking at photos. They tell a story. And whether or not the people at your recpetion are close family, or guests of friends invited, they will enjoy going around to all the tables looking that “the Story” that the two of you have made together thus far. Afterwards you could collect the story pictures again, and place them in a special scrapbook with pictures from your wedding.
Try to think of somthing that would make the decor or centerpieces personal to each of you. Somthing that reflects who you are as a couple. What types of things are you into? Having personal touches is really what the guests will remember about your wedding day. If they don’t remember anything else, they at least should come away with a happy and relaxed feeling, in enjoying your day with you, and celebrating your new life together.
Hello-
This has been the best web site I have found with ideas for weddings with gerbera daisies! I am getting married October 11th and we are coming back the next weekend and having a reception/party. I am using the fall colors gerberas and am not wanting to spend a lot of money on decorations and centerpieces. I have found an online site that I think I am going to get my flowers at but my problem now is finding a pretty, inexpensive way to decorate my tables and centerpieces. I was thinking floating berberas but then I was afraid that wouldn’t be enough…and bowls are pricy. Then I thought I might use candles with gerberas but…PLEASE HELP! Anyone that has pics of anything they could show or help me out would be greatly appreciated! I have gone crazy looking online for ideas with pics. Thanks in advance for all your help.
Tracy
more pics….. I have a TON more, if anyone would like to see…

Beautiful Bouquet I found. I love the glittery butterflies!
I had a friend who got married in 2005, and had lilac dresses for her girls, but all the flowers were in hot pink, yellow, orange, and white. It was a pretty interesting combination. She made huge arrangements for the church that were giant foam hearts covered in gerber daisies of all these colors, and the bouquets matched. The reception arrangements were the same colored daisies with lemon slices in the bottoms of clear glass cylinder vases, and the cake was covered in a cascading waterfall of all the same. It was an upbeat, fun, and bright theme. Unfortunately on a very cloudy day. But it still worked. I have to say though the giant gerber daisy covered hearts at the church were a bit over the top. I know the look that she was going for, but it turned out looking a little cheap, as all the flowers except the bridal bouquet and the centerpieces, were artificial flowers. It would have worked if she had added a little bit more greenery to each of the arrangements though. I am an artificial flower arranger myself, and I always pick the types of flowers that look real. These daisies could look real as well, if they were placed in such a way as to make them look more natural, (as in more greenery in the case of my friend.) I hope this help someone with their ideas!
I am thinking about having orange dresses with orange and pink gerber daisies. Has anyone seen this/ what do you think?
Jasmine:
My sister-in-law bought all her flowers online. They arrived 3 days early and by the time the wedding came, most of the flowers were almost dead. We ended up buying flowers from Trader Joes and made the flower arrangements again. Every experience is different though. Check with the flower company on their policies. If it’s from Proflowers or a company similar, you will probably have a better experience.
Anyone every ordered fresh flowers online, or is going to. It scares me alot, I am afraid that when i got to a wholsale florist they wont have what I need and Iwill be out of luck!
Thanks Blake!
Although I previously thought yellow was too garish I’m really warming to it! I love the pics. Also the green. Sometimes I think blue can look a little too cool but I’ll definately think about it. I get what you mean about the gold and I certainly wouldn’t dream of a tacky gold look, however, the yellow is a definate contender! The flowers look really lovely - you’ve been a great help - Thanks!
I’m having an August 2009 wedding and am thinking of having chocolate brown dresses and using red and yellow gerbera daisies. Does anyone have any pictures of this combination? Do you think its too fallish for August if so what color would you suggest instead of the brown? I’ve considered grey. I know I have plenty of time but I’m so excited!!!:P
Hey Kat! OK, I’ve been thinking about your shastas.
Gold, mmm … I don’t know. Probably bad memories of gold lamé bridesmaid frock horrors from the 80s … but gold is such a strong statement. I know it could be done, but I think it would be hard for gold to have the light summery look you’re talking about. I think of gold gowns as indoors=winter=formal.
But yellow … yellow is great! Happily most BM dress designers seem to be picking restrained and paler forms of yellow. I think this is a good thing. Davids’ Bridal yellows, for example, range from the very pale pink-tinged buttercup to not-obnoxiously-bright canary. Yellow’s a pretty, youthful look that feels completely at home outside! Here, I like quieter attire with big color in the cakes and flowers. Add a bit of gingham and POW. Instant country!
If you’re not sold on yellow, there are other colors that come straightaway to mind when I think outdoors. Like, there’s a pale sage that looks fantastic with an armful of wildflowers.
But there’s something about cornflower blue that for me makes it the #1 country/garden color. Or hydrangea blue, with that tinge of lilac. These blues are so joyful, unpretentious. Add a shawl / pashmina / chiffon scarf, and everything looks so feminine and finished.
But a lot of blues say country to me. Not so much aqua, which is more tropical or even sort of ironic, but deeper ones too. Even cobalt, which is seeing a lot of play in fashion magazines right now and is very interesting. Check out below for some sage / cornflower / cobalt photos that jumped out for me. Whatcha think? Any of these would look beautiful with shasta daisies, maybe mixed with some yellow gerbers or mini-suns or a few yellow or white roses.

Anyone know a good website for buying hot pink and orange silk gerbers? I am getting married 8/30 and our colors are hot pink ornage and black.
Shasta I think - the ones which are really country and quite rustic looking - white with yellow centres. Do you think a gold colour is too autumnal for a July wedding? Will gold go at all? mmmm. I really don’t know!
Kat, Shasta (white & yellow daisies) or gerbers? :-?
Lynsey, some pink & orange pics for you (wow, it took me a while … !)
Definitely check the credits below, the top two photos are from Brides Melissa & Rob, a pink and orange wedding with lots of gerbers, just gorgeous.
What I get out of these … pink & orange gerber bouquets look even more beautiful with a few non-gerber touches, like kermit mums, gloriosa liles, tiger lilies, roses … in complementary shades. Or, FlowersByMegan’s approach is lovely, she did the two bo-ks on the bottom left. I think they look so fresh with the white gerbers intermixed, the bear grass and that bold aqua ribbon.

I’m thinking of a daisy themed wedding as we’re having it in the summer and in a beautiful oak beamed barn - so it’s country chic all the way! I have no idea what colours to put the bridesmaids in though! Any ideas? Yellow might be a bit too bright.
Hi Jenn, sage and pink look so wonderful together! You can’t go wrong. Bridesmaid gowns are a big block of color, this will surround you at the altar, so pick the one that you really want to see a lot of.
If you’re a pink girl at heart you will def. want your bridesmaids to be pink, but if you’re more drawn to the cooler, toned-down sage or if it’s “natural” colors of the garden that really define your wedding, sage’s the one to go with.
You could also see if a particular dress really makes you fall for it, and then see which color you like it better in, pink or sage.
A third possibility is to pick a quiet neutral for your girls, like champagne or latte. Add a sage or pink sash and some pink gerbers to carry and it will tie in perfectly. A delicate, sweet look, see a pale pink and champagne wedding for an idea of how this might come off.
I’m getting married October 11,2008. I having a tough time coming up with centerpieces and bouquet and bridesmaid flower ideas. Please help!!
Hi… I am planning my wedding for may of 09 and I am a little stumped. I plan on using pink gerber daisy on top of a sagey green color table cloth. I cant decide what color my bridesmaid dresses should be… Any ideas??
Does anyone have pictures of hot pink gerbers and organge gerber daisies in a bouquet?
Hi Raelene, Brittant, some food for thought …
This really shows some possibilities. I’m actually drawn to the all-white bouquet against the clover. But what I love most here, surprisingly, is the jade roses against those gowns in the middle row with the pink ribbon detail. Now, gerbers don’t come in jade but if you mixed some jade roses with white gerbers it could look spectacular, a bit different.
Some other great ideas here: bright orange plus fuchsia (perfect for gerbers), deep pink plus pastel pink, pale pink plus pale yellow and cream as shown in the calla bouquets, pinks with a touch of coral as shown in the last gown with the chocolate sash. What do you think? Anything grab you?
im doing the same thing with clover bridesmaids and i want daisies as my flower theme. what olor do you recomend?
Hello,
My bridesmaids are wearing green (clover) dresses, and I’m wondering what color of gerber daisies to go with. I have thought of hot pink, yellow and ivory, or just hot pink and ivory (I am carrying ivory daisies).
What do you recommend?
FloralVerde has exquisitely complete instructions on how to make your own beautiful gerber/wheatgrass centerpieces, like this one. Highly recommended! She covers every possible step to make sure they’ll look great.
This is a reply to Sarah…my colors are also hot pink with lime, would you mind posting pictures of your decoration and bo-k here or emailing them to me. My wedding is in August and I am wanting to lots of it myself. Thank you so much! tigprincess22@aol.com
hi ashley, weirdly have been looking at these colours recently for scrapbooking (think its an obsession) but have added some photos to give you an idea of what i do with the pink, spring green and brown colours….
Hi all, My wedding in May 24th and I am having a problem with my flowers! I have choosen to go with the Gerber Daisy because I love them and it will still be spring! My issue however is that my wedding colors are Champagne, Black and Ivory! My dress is Ivory with a Champagne sash and my girls are wearing Black Tea Length dresses. I was going to use white Gerber’s and hand tie them with Black or Champagne ribbon but I dont think the flowers will stand out enough…. Any ideas or suggestions?
This is for Sarah Jo - Our daughter is getting married July 5, 2008 and she is using Pink and Orange Gerber Daisies with Alstroemeria. It comes in about 80 colors (literally) and is very inexpensive = $2.00 per stem with 5 -6 blooms per stem. You could use either white or cream colored alstromeria for more depth. Good Luck!
Hi,
I am getting married in July, and my colors are brown and champagne. I have used bits of gold in my dress and table decorating. The bridesmaids are wearing champagne dresses with chocolate sashes and the maids of honour are wearing chocolate dresses with champagne sashes. The groomsmen are wearing chocolate suits with champagne ties. I’m having a bit of a problem deciding what color paper would be best for my programmes.
Ashley, I love your colors…if I was getting married in the summer/fall I would totally pop some brown in there. I think you probably could overdo it and it may look tacky, but with the right touches of sage..it could be really classy and elegant..I would just focus on the sage for maybe ribbon on the centerpieces/bouquets/decor. Nothing on the bridesmaids. Just my opinion good luck and congrats!
So, I am getting married in September and I love the idea of pink and brown together. I also love Gerber daisies but, I also wanted to include a sage green color but I’m not sure if this is a horrible combination. I have not seen many pictures with green, pink, and brown put together. I would really appreciate any input! Thanks!!
Hey guys, I am getting married at the end of this month..yay!! I have wrote on here before, but wanted to answer some questions any of you may be having. I am doing hot pink and a citrus green as my colors with hot pink gerbera daisies and limes for the centerpieces..very funky and sheek. I have stayed under $8,000 for my entire wedding except the honeymoon….and have done so much myself and planned for the past year and a half..I am only 22 but I really feel that I found my niche.
As far as the photographer is concerned, I had a hard time finding one..however, I found one on myspace actually that was in my budget and exactly what I was looking for. So good luck!
Hi everyone! I am getting married next month and have pretty much everything complete. I ordered a small sample of what I wanted my boquet to look like—just so I would be sure I absolutely loved it on the big day! Its all gerbers in hot pink, a lighter pink and orange with a hot pink wrap. It looked great but I think it was missing something. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else would look good along with the gerbers? Different flowers, some filler maybe? I need some help!! Thanks!!
elizabeth,
yay for pink and orange!! those are my colors(plus brown) for my wedding in october. it is overwelming so just get started asap and book things as soon as you can. it doesnt hurt to be ahead. i had my location, caterer, photographer, dress, dj, invitations and save the dates booked and ordered in 2 months. no i dont have as much to stress about later
let me know if you have any other questions on pink and orange ideas. here is the website for my photographer…just to get an idea.
i was very picky about choosing my photographer. it depends on how important your photography is to you and how much you want to spend. photography was on the top of my list as most important so i didnt mind spending more money in that area to get a good photographer.i have some photography background so i choose based on picture quality and style as well as a recomendation. i suggest you ask around and if you have someone in mind, ask if they have references you can talk to. narrow it down to 3 or 4 photographers and meet with all of them….you may click with one right away or you may be able to cross them off immediately. make sure you find exactly what you want in a photographer and the package you want. photography is something you can not replace or re do so make sure its something you are very happy with

happy planning!!
hey ladies,
just got engaged, so overwhelming!! the only thing iv decided is that i want pink and orange to be my colour theme. but do have another question, how are you all deciding who to have for you photographer??!!?? just cant choose, what if i make the wrong choice??
Thanks Dawn!
The pictures are fabulous. You are a great help! DB has the tropic dresses paired with yellow and white which does make a great combo.
Thank You!
Hi Heather, welcome!
OK, the colors. Gerbers come in white to cream, pink to burgundy, red, orange, yellow, peach … Here’s some great photos of gerber colors from FiftyFlowers, a site that sells them in bulk. I have no affiliation with them, but they really seem to know their stuff from their blog and are worth checking out.
As for cost, if you buy to arrange them yourself you will find them from about $1 a stem (supermarket flowers) to $2-$3 a stem (better quality growers’ flowers). No one can estimate the cost from a florist. It depends totally on the florist, the season, your region, how competitive the florist is in the market.
Now for aqua or DB’s “tropic” … an easy way to cheat is to look at the flowers that David’s Bridal chose for the photo’s bouquets! Not that you can’t make up your own combos, but the ones they chose to show off the dress are a great place to start.
So, take a look at DB’s “tropic” next to gerbers in the blushing white, yellow and pink tones they picked for the model’s calla bouquet.
And then, see that Cornflower jr. bridesmaid gown paired with that gorgeous coral/fuchsia dress, and some gerbers to match. Looks great doesn’t it?
Hope that gets you started!
Ok. I have lots of questions about Gerber daisies. First, what colors can you get them in? Can anyone post a picture of all of the varieties?
My color is aqua, but it is a darker color than the aqua below. The color is called tropic from Davids Bridal. Can any color daisy go with this color? How much does a Gerber bouquet usually run?
Abotare & Stacy … haven’t forgotten about you, I’m looking!
In the meantime, here is a GREAT, bright, whimsical, totally airborne gerber daisy in aqua, hot pink, chocolate brown and yellow to feast your eyes on. Nine pages of photographic bliss! Check it out!
will a daisy pink and rich coffee brown theme fit a garden setting?
i need some ideas and pictures please…
