Hi, Susan!

Consider pale lavender freesia and white iris (which should be available during her wedding month):

The freesia has a lovely scent. It also comes in yellow. If she wants a deeper purple - consider miniature iris (but they only are available in that deep purple).

Lilacs should be available in both white and purple - here there are mixed with a lavender rose and are so pretty:

Have you considered hydrangeas for your base flower? They are stunning - the pale green or white would be a perfect foil with soft lavender freesia, soft ivory rosebuds and and a touch of yellow.

If you like varigated greenery - consider Italian ruscus - I love it. Now in this bouquet it's been misted silver, but it really is a varigated greenish-white:

The sisal is so much fun to use. You crunch it, bunch it and shape it with your hands, creating a "nest" for the flowers. Use decorative wire to bind it to the hand of bouquet holders. The hot pink bouquet is the sisal. The orange/hot pink bouquet is the angel hair (very very fine) wire:
