Flowers for a burgundy and gold palette
Burgundy and Gold share a bloom, then each contributes its own; the split is what the arrangements are built on.
- Garden roseShared bloom
Roses are the one wedding staple truly available every month, grown year-round in Colombia and Ecuador; field-grown garden varieties peak late spring through fall, so off-season garden roses lean on imports.
What burgundy brings
- DahliaBurgundy
Dahlias have a long field season from midsummer to the first frost and a wide color range, but the cut stem is short-lived: vase life runs about 3 to 5 days, shorter than a rose, so long-lasting describes the season, not the cut flower.
What gold brings
- RanunculusGold
Field ranunculus peaks late winter through spring; imported and greenhouse stems stretch it wider, at a higher off-season price.
The metal for burgundy and gold
Burgundy's own page treats gold as the shine on the cutlery, so a naive pair page is that page plus a swatch. Here gold is a field color in its own right: an antique-gold layer across the linens and the beech-leaf foliage, carrying weight the burgundy page never asks of it.
This palette finishes in gold.
