What goes with gold
Gold pairs with nearly anything: burgundy and emerald for jewel tones, blush and cream for soft romance, navy for formal contrast. It is the metal itself, so spend it on the finishing details and let another color lead.
When gold works best
Best in any season as the metallic accent, and for formal candlelit receptions.

Real flowers for a gold palette
Gilded-edge foliage and brass vessels rather than gold-dyed blooms; the color reaches the room as hardware and light.
- Garden roseFocal flower
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.
- RanunculusSecondary flower
Field ranunculus peaks late winter through spring; imported and greenhouse stems stretch it wider, at a higher off-season price.
