Don't forget foliage. I'm a huge fan of some foliage in a bouquet. If the bouquet is not for sniffing, yarrow is nice (but smells like dirty socks.) I love fern fronds, anything variegated, and gorgeous leaves like:
Coleus:

sweet potato vines:

Alternanthera:

Persian shield:
Persian Shield (Strobilanthes auriculatus var. dyeriana)
Pothos:

Pretty heart leaf vine:
Heart Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium)
Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium 'Brasil')

All of the above can take root in a vase, and you can keep the foliage going while adding flowers when available.

I make bouquets of just colorful foliage often. Flowers are fun, but come and go in a flash it seems like. Gorgeous foliage is there every day.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
