Navy and Gold wedding color palette

A formal ballroom, black-tie, or New Year evening wedding. Navy suits and gold-sequin dresses, gold worn as a field color rather than kept to the cutlery.

Base colors: #23395d and #c9a227

The navy and gold palette with hex codes

Both colors as co-equal field colors, plus the bridge tone and the neutral the color math derives from them, built from #23395d and #c9a227 with the same generator that powers every color page.

Flowers for a navy and gold palette

Navy and Gold share no single bloom, so each color brings its own and the contrast carries the arrangements.

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.

What gold brings

  • Garden roseGold

    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.

  • RanunculusGold

    Field ranunculus peaks late winter through spring; imported and greenhouse stems stretch it wider, at a higher off-season price.

The metal for navy and gold

Navy's own page names gold as one metal option among two, so the pair has to make gold co-equal rather than an accent: an antique-gold field across the chargers and the arch frame, so this is the two-color palette, not the navy page with gold added.

This palette finishes in gold.
