Default I need ideas for pink (and black) wedding flowers?

My wedding colors are black and light pink and I'm looking for flower ideas that will go nicely. In general I don't like light pink flowers by themselves, so I need help making a combination with some possible black flowers. Pictures help a lot!!

The following flowers could be used: Roses, Calla Lily, Gardenia, Orchids, Tulips, Stephanotis, Gladiolus, Lilacs, Carnations, Apple Blossom, Magnolia, Narcissus, Aster, White Lilies.

However if you wanted to use black flowers as well, the following could work well: Black "Queen of Night" tulips or Black roses.

Always check with your florist to see what is in season to keep the price reasonable.

I'm doing a cascade of roses and carnations in various shades of pinks and white. The bridesmaids bouquets will have the same flowers but in a small hand tied. I wish i had a pic to show but i don't, but my florist assured me it will be very pretty.

If your planning on using fresh flowers then the best thing would be to talk to your florist so that you know what is available and how expensive it will be. The above poster is correct the fresh flowers that are labeled "black" are usually dark red or purple. Personally I really don't think these will look nice with light pink and your color scheme. Instead why not choose a variety of shades of pink and accent the bouquets with a black and pink ribbon. I think a black ribbon with pink edges will compliment and keep it from looking too morbid. You want to use black as an accent to keep it from being to dark and heavy.

Here are some image result I found by googling pink wedding bouquet pics:

Black flowers don't exist in nature but they are available as silks. What are called black flowers that are real are actually a very dark red or purple that they may appear black in certain lighting.

You can tie a black ribbon around the stems.
