Flowers for a terracotta and dusty blue palette
Terracotta and Dusty blue share no single bloom, so each color brings its own and the contrast carries the arrangements.
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.
What dusty blue brings
- Garden roseDusty blue
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.
- DelphiniumDusty blue
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.
- Thistle (sea holly)Dusty blue
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.
The metal for terracotta and dusty blue
Clay wants gold or copper and the grey-blue leans silver, so the pair lets copper carry the clay and keeps the blue on its own with no silver in the room.
This palette finishes in gold.
When terracotta and dusty blue works best
