Flowers for a dusty blue and blush palette
Dusty blue and Blush 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 dusty blue brings
- DelphiniumDusty blue
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.
- Thistle (sea holly)Dusty blue
Sea holly, sold as thistle, carries a true steel grey-blue and is available year-round through wholesalers, with a summer field peak; it also dries well.
What blush brings
- PeonyBlush
Field peonies bloom a short window from late April to early June; they are still obtainable off-season through Chile and New Zealand imports (October to January) and Alaska (July to September) at 2 to 3x the price, not a hard unavailability.
- RanunculusBlush
Field ranunculus peaks late winter through spring; imported and greenhouse stems stretch it wider, at a higher off-season price.
The metal for dusty blue and blush
Dusty blue takes silver and blush takes champagne, so the pair keeps champagne and lets it stand in for rose gold, warm enough for the pink without cooling the blue to steel.
This palette finishes in champagne.
When dusty blue and blush works best
A spring wedding, the soft-romantic staple.
