What flowers would you recommend to achieve this at that time of yr?

September is a great month to get married as it can be deemed as late summer of early autumn so pink is a lovely choice too.

Soft cream and pink look lovely - are you going for romantic with a 'kick'

A great pale pink roses for buttonholes are 'Sweet akito' Sweet Avalanche' or 'Aqua' for a warmer pink,
for the groom I would just add a dash of cerise of match your bouquet.

For the girls, using the same roses as the chaps, mix with creamy flowers, lissianthus, cream stocks, or wax flower for a soft look. you could always bind the stems in cerise fabric to match dresses

For you - why not go for just a cerise rose - let the florist hav a sample of the b/maids fabric or ribbon (if all else fails a paint swatch from B & Q) as cerises can differ quite alot, then get fancy with embellishments like grass cages or grass loops, you can then go to town by adding some bling ??

If you want to soften the look (although cerise on its own is stunning) you could blend in the cream and pale pink to.

Classic, simple but fabulous
