in “my fair brady” their wedding episode… they had dark red roses & i found them to be very beautiful…

black baccarra roses are a lot darker than black magic roses….

cosmos are great, they’re even scented!! clematis grows in a deep purple black, dahlias, iris, etc. there is a flower called sweet william which is deep maroon-black flowers on red stems good luck!

If you want to go for a really exotic look, Bat Orchids are absolutely GORGEOUS. I’m kinda partial because I love any and every type of orchid, but I would KILL to have a Bat Orchid. They’re a really deep purplish-maroonish-black. The leaves and stems are also dark in color. They’re so unusual and mysterious, but they might be slightly pricey. When I looked into getting a plant for myself, it was $60! However, it was also a 10 year-old plant and about 5 feet in diameter! If you love growing plants, maybe you could buy a plant and just incorporate that into the ceremony; I think it’s worth it.

The blooms have “whiskers” coming out of the center with tiny flower-like blooms at the end of them! Pictures don’t do them justice, but here are some links:

Good luck!

There are several varieties of dark tulips, too. Try Black Parrot, African Queen, Black Diamond, or Black Hero. As usual, these are more dark-red than true-black, but will go along with your color scheme.

Hi,
I am getting married myself & I am using a black & white theme. I have found the beautiful black queen of night tulips. I plan on using them in my bouquet,.
