Flowers for a coral and navy palette
Coral and Navy share no single bloom, so each color brings its own and the contrast carries the arrangements.
What coral brings
- RanunculusCoral
Field ranunculus peaks late winter through spring; imported and greenhouse stems stretch it wider, at a higher off-season price.
- Poppy (Iceland)Coral
Iceland poppies are a cool-season spring flower (roughly March to June) with papery petals in coral and warm tones; they hit saturation with no dye.
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 coral and navy
Coral leans champagne and navy leans silver, so neither default fits both; the coastal pairing takes gold, which pops the coral and gives the navy the warmth a summer evening wants.
This palette finishes in gold.
When coral and navy works best
A summer or coastal wedding, coral keeping the deep blue from reading wintery.
Coral is a hot summer color and navy a cool formal one, so the resolved setting is nautical: a bright warm pop held down by a deep-blue anchor.
Who wears what in a coral and navy palette
Coral dresses as the warm pop, navy suits as the anchor, gold tying the coastal palette together.
- Lead
- coral bridesmaid dresses
- Supporting
- navy groomsmen suits
- Accent
- gold and rope-toned neutrals
