  that is a hard one, dip some roses in chocolate! I have never seen brown flowers, and I worked in a nursery at the beach, I will be back with some links if possible……………….
  you might just have to have some made, silk flowers, because there ARE brown flowers, but none pretty enough for a wedding, the link I found they look like a burgundy brown. but they are pretty.

  i don't know of any brown flowers, but have you thought of combining ivory roses and light blue flowers with a brown ribbon? it may be easier to find that….congrats and good luck! i love the colors you chose!

  Well, that's because technically they don't exist in nature! Not "flowers"; there are other things to put with flowers that are brown that exist in nature, such as brown hypericum berries.

  There are also brown cosmos, which are a flower & are technically not brown, but they are close & they are referred to as brown.

  Just recently someone has bred several rose varieties together and come up with a hybrid rose that looks brown.

  I would ask my florist if they can order these for me!

  Knot Note:
  Think brown is a tough color to incorporate in your arrangements? It's not — Leonidas and terracotta roses, cosmos in shades of chocolate, and even hypericum berries, which come in several shades of brown, will all make a rich contrast to warmer shades (such as pink or yellow) in your centerpieces and bouquets.
