Flowers for a burgundy and navy palette
Burgundy and Navy share no single bloom, so each color brings its own and the contrast carries the arrangements.
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.
- Garden roseBurgundy
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 navy brings
- DelphiniumNavy
Delphinium is available year-round through greenhouse and import stems, with a summer field peak; it and its cousin larkspur hold their color well when dried.
- HydrangeaNavy
Hydrangea is available year-round through greenhouse and import stems for a full blue-to-mauve mass; it dries well, and antique dried heads carry the dusty tones.
The metal for burgundy and navy
Burgundy takes gold and navy can take either, so gold leads: two dark colors need a warm metal and an ivory to keep the table from reading as one dark mass by candlelight.
This palette finishes in gold.
