Flowers for a emerald and gold palette
Emerald 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 emerald brings
- Fern (leatherleaf)Emerald
Leatherleaf fern is the most common cut foliage, available year-round with a leathery frond that resists wilting, and it presses and dries well.
- Italian ruscusEmerald
Italian ruscus is available year-round and exceptionally long-lasting, a glossy structural green that echoes a jewel palette with no flowers at all.
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 emerald and gold
Emerald's own page hands the metal to the season and lists gold as one choice, so the pair commits: gold is a field color beside the green, gilded fern and ruscus edges plus brass, not a swatch clipped onto the emerald page.
This palette finishes in gold.
