with the exception of Carrie's bouquet, i see lots of Roses. Does Disney tend to push you towards roses, or is that just what you all prefereed?? I want more tuplis and Calla lilies, with just a few roses...
Roses are a lot cheaper than tulips, which have a very short season. They may tell you tulips will be hard to get or too expensive, but I bet they can do it - they found my dahlias out of season and I paid about what everyone else's bouquets seem to cost....

Originally I wanted gardenias and a few ivory roses (which was my grandma's bouquet 70-some years ago) but my DMIL is highly allergic to gardenias so I couldn't do that. But I knew I wanted ivory something. Tulips are my favorite flower but I just didn't want them in my bridal bouquet and I can't really say why not, I just didn't - strange I know So ivory roses it was! Then I decided to put some red in my bouquet since my gown was ivory and our colors were ivory and burgundy. It just needed a "pop" of color. Rosie from Disney Floral suggested red spray roses and honsetly at that point I figured she knew best and I love how it turned out!
I'm rather plain. I pretty much only wanted calla lillies. Disney suggested that they be mini ones so that they wouldn't be too heavy or overwhelming. Turned out to be what I wanted! I had the "mickey" buttons on the stems, and mickey crytals in the bouquet for mine and MOH.
Here are the BM's flowers. They had champagne roses.

Disney didn't push roses on me. It was what I wanted. They also suggested hydrangea as filler, but I changed it after I saw pictures comparing rose/hydrangea vs. all-rose bouquets.
I looked at all kinds of other flowers too, such as Peonies, Amaryllis, Chrysanthemum, Orchids, Anemones, Mums, plus smaller filler flowers like Delphinium and Iris. In the end I just went with the simple + classic all-rose design.
I ordered the "tropical bouquet" but didn't want the standard colors..I was very specific..I wanted jade and white roses, white calla lilies and green cymbidium orchids - Disney Floral did an AMAZING job and I wasn't charge any additional - I loved it so much I wish I could have preserved it
