Flowers for a navy and terracotta palette
Navy and Terracotta 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 terracotta brings
- Pampas grassTerracotta
Pampas grass is fresh in fall and available year-round dried, its feathery plumes lasting indefinitely, the texture behind most boho arch and installation looks.
- Amaranth (love-lies-bleeding)Terracotta
Amaranth's trailing tassels cut from summer into fall in deep rust and burgundy, and they dry well, so dried amaranth extends the texture year-round.
The metal for navy and terracotta
Navy on its own can take silver and terracotta refuses it, so the two argue; the pair keeps gold with a copper edge, warm enough to read right on clay and deep enough to hold against the indigo.
This palette finishes in gold.
When navy and terracotta works best
A fall evening wedding where the changing light does the mixing.
Navy pulls formal and cool while terracotta pulls warm and outdoor, so the palette lands in an early-autumn courtyard that turns from daylight clay to candlelit indigo.
Who wears what in a navy and terracotta palette

- Lead
- Navy groomsmen suits
- Supporting
