Slate blue wedding color palette

Slate blue is the muted grey-blue between dusty blue and navy, deep enough to lead a palette and calm enough not to take over. It reads modern and slightly overcast, and it cools a warm room without navy's formality. Thistle, delphinium, and dark hydrangea carry it in the arrangements.

Real flowers for a slate blue palette

Thistle and dark hydrangea hold the muted grey-blue, with rust seed pods for the warm contrast it wants.

  • Thistle (sea holly)Focal flower

    Sea holly, sold as thistle, carries a true steel grey-blue and is available year-round through wholesalers, with a summer field peak; it also dries well.

  • 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.

  • Scabiosa (and seed pods)Filler

    Scabiosa flowers cut spring through fall (roughly April to September); the star-shaped seed pods that follow dry well and add rust-toned texture.
