Flowers for a teal and gold palette
Teal and Gold share a bloom, then each contributes its own; the split is what the arrangements are built on.
- Garden roseShared bloom
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.
What teal brings
- HydrangeaTeal
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
- RanunculusGold
Field ranunculus peaks late winter through spring; imported and greenhouse stems stretch it wider, at a higher off-season price.
The metal for teal and gold
The peacock color's own page hands the shine to brass and stops there. Made co-equal the metal has a harder job, because neither anchor grows on a stem: the color arrives as velvet, taffeta and glassware, the metal arrives as flatware and frames, and the blooms are left out of both.
This palette finishes in gold.
When teal and gold works best
A winter or fall evening wedding reception in a ballroom, under warm tungsten light.
One anchor is at home in every month and the other only holds its depth after dark, so this palette belongs to the evening rather than to a month.
Who wears what in a teal and gold palette
Velvet dresses with sequins beside them, both anchors worn rather than either one left to the flowers.
- Lead
- teal velvet or taffeta bridesmaid dresses
- Supporting
- gold-sequin dresses or metallic ties
- Accent
- brass and deco glassware
