Blue Wedding Flowers

Every spring when I start meeting with summer brides, about half of them have a shade of blue as one of their main or accent colors.  Turquoise has been a popular choice for the past couple summers to use in weddings, along with teal, Robin's egg blue and of course the favorite Tiffany blue. The problem is mother nature doesn't make flowers or foliage in those shades. She sticks with cobalt blues, dusty light blues, blue-grays and deep blue/purples. I always suggest to brides that if they are wanting to use turquoise or the like as a color within the flowers, it is best to introduce it through ribbon, glass, feathers, etc.- the hard goods.  Whatever you do, just do it tastefully. I am 99.9% opposed to spraying or dying flowers unnatural colors, but sometimes certain textures look cool spray painted a crazy color. For instance in the photo shown, I spray painted a manzanita branch turquoise (and hand-painted the chevron box!) and it looks really fun and pretty. 

If the blue color you are wanting falls in line more with the natural tones available, here are some photos of great choices to use. Scroll over the photo to find out their names.
Tweedia
Muscari or Grape Hyacinth
Seaholly or Eryngium
Delphinium
Hyacinth
Globe thistle or Echinops
Hydrangea
Gentian
Bachelor Buttons

This is a great color, I find it extremely interesting when the wedding flower is blue.
