Daisies for wedding flowers in end of July/begining of August? With red and white as wedding colors?

I love daisies! They are my favorite flower and they have them all over my parents land growing wild and very pretty. My mom wants to make my flowers for the back home reception for my destination wedding to save money. She used to work at a flower shop. How well do you think this would work with red and white as the wedding colors? Or at this time of the summer?

I think daisies are great, especially if you like them. My wedding was in the beginning of July, and I had Gerbera Daisies in my bouquet. I loved my flowers and got many compliments on them. The daisies were the flowers that were showcased in my bouquet, and were highlighted by ivy (which stands for marriage) and then other flowers with colors that coordinated with the bridesmaids dresses.
Reply:I love daisies as well! I plan to carry a bouquet of multi-colored Gerbera daisies as well as some regular white-and-yellow daisies at my wedding. I think you should use regular white daisies with a few bright red Gerbera daisies mixed in as your flowers, to match your wedding colors. I think late summer is the very best time to have daisies as your wedding flower. To me they are just so innocent and lovely. Good luck!
Reply:I'm a fellow daisey lover...and that includes a daisey-look-a-like flower, gallardia or indian blanket flower.....I have them both planted in my flower bed...the daisies are 'Broadway Lights'...they open up into a pale buttery yellow but then soften to a creamy white.....my gallardias are 'Arizona Sun'-a bright red %26amp; orangey-yellow and "Oranges%26amp; Lemons'-the name reflects the citrus-y colors....





Daisies would look great in a white %26amp; red bouquet.....I would look into Mums as well-they do come in daisey-look alikes but are very petal lush...painted daisies as well can add a splash of color.....gebera are over-done right now but they are an option......and this is daisey season...mine are in over-drive right now...good luck.
Reply:daisies are one of my favorite flowers, too...you can definitely use them, just mix them with some red colored wildflowers, and the bouquet will look great...
Reply:I think they would look cute! Especially if you kind of went with a country style wedding reception.
Reply:Sounds very pretty.... I would stick to all those colors... it is perfect for the summer.
Reply:I think it would be fine for your reception back home... and it will save you money too. You could always order some red flowers from Sams or CostCo to add in to keep your color scheme
Reply:i think ti will be great, especially since they are your favorite
