Navy blue wedding color palette

Navy is the deep blue that works as a dark neutral, standing in for black at a wedding while staying warmer and less funereal about it. It holds formality in every season and gives groomsmen a suit color that reads as a suit rather than a costume. Delphinium and dark hydrangea are the florals that actually reach it.

Real flowers for a navy blue palette

Delphinium and dark hydrangea are the rare flowers that actually reach navy; everything else fakes it with ribbon.

  • DelphiniumFocal flower

    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.

  • HydrangeaSecondary flower

    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.
