Lilies, white roses, red roses. Any red or white coloured flowers would work. Sounds beautiful! Congratulations and best wishes!
First of all, congrats on your wedding! I too was married in October, just several years ago. I really wanted to add a lot of color to my wedding, so I went with a variety of colors and used carnations, roses, and lillies. Each of my bridesmaids wore a different color dress in the same style: burgundy, 2 in hunter green, navy blue, and purple. Then each bridesmaid carried flowers that matched her dress and each opposing groomsmen had a boutonniere matching that bridesmaid’s color. Finally, my flowers were white accented with a combination of all the colors in the wedding party. It turned out lovely and the colors really stood out in the photos. Again, congrats and don’t forget to have LOTS of fun during the planning!
Any red and white flowers would work. I’d stay away from lilies, though. They’d be very expensive in the fall.
I would go with deep reds and creams with lots of green….
Congrats!!!! I was married this past early November and fall was a wonderful time to get married- great choice. My bridesmaids dresses were wine in color (a little darker than burgandy) and we went with deep red roses, wine cala lillies, purple limonium, yellow orchids and a few yellow roses (yellow to add a little pop). With burgandy dresses and it being October you could throw in some orange too like orange mums or cala lillies.

I hope that helped some. Good Luck!
Types of flowers matter when it comes to making just the right impression. Each type of flower carries a different tone. Roses, for example, mean something very different from dandelions. No matter how pretty a flower your dandelion may be, your mother won’t react quite the same as she will to a rose. While that may be oversimplified, the point is this: you have to know your flowers.
Gardeners know that different types of flowers require different types of care. You wouldn’t water some flowers nearly as much as you water others; in fact, some flowers might hint in their name or appearance how to grow them the way you want. Even those flowers that do, however, still need a gardener’s touch. None of all the types of flowers will do much on its own for very long. Gardeners always try to grow their expertise as much as they grow their flowers, and this site is made to help.
Lovers know more than anyone the need for a working knowledge of all types of flowers. Roses solve lots of problems (and prevent even more), but other flowers can add a little flavor to your use of different types. We met a young man whose mother grew different types of flowers in the backyard. These breeds of flowers ranged mostly through different types of roses, but she also had irises, daffodils, and a number of others. That boy had the luckiest girlfriend in town. Mom had no problem with him snipping a few flowers whenever needed (after asking permission, of course); not only was his girlfriend sure to get roses exactly when she needed a little cheering up, but the other types of flowers played perfectly into their love. Spring dictated one type of flower, autumn another, and even when winter came and went with no flowers available, the roses came out early. By knowing which types of flowers were available when, these lovers were able to do what you can do after visiting this site. Know the flowers, love the flowers, and use the flowers.
Well ivory and burgundy are extremely lovely colours therefore they are adaptable to go with any kind of other colour. I would probably go with white roses as the red would probably clash with the burgundy; or you could go for tulips but a yellow/white/peach colour. But at the end of the day, just go with the flowers that you think go with your dress by maybe going to a florist and putting the colours up against one another
