Looking to feature a specific color in your wedding bouquets or event centerpieces, but need to go beyond roses? Here is a quick list of flowers by color that will help accent your décor or theme with flair.

Pink: Petunias, Hydrangeas, Star-Gazer Lilies, Magnolias, Boronia, Sweet Pea, Peonies, Heather, Protea

Blue/Purple: Delphinia, Hydrangeas, Hyacinths, English Lavender, Forget-me-nots, Iris, Statice

You can have bouquets made with one color or combine several colors to celebrate the season. Another stand-out idea is using one specific flower sparingly to accent a larger gathering of white roses or tulips. Also, if you order flowers that are season at the time of your event, you can save a lot of money. Enjoy your planning and make to take time to smell the roses (or lilies, or daisies…).
