Colour Pairings: Yellow and Blue

We’ve all seen white and gold, pink and purple, red and green together but seldom do we see yellow and blue as a colour pairing in weddings and it’s such a fabulous combination. Yellow, in all shades: lemon, honey or mustard can add real zing to your wedding flowers and overall decor.

There’s such a variety of yellow and blue buds for summer and some of my favourites I’ve listed below. Think chic midsummer affair…

YELLOW TOP 10 PICKS:

• Calla Lily
• Fritillaria Lutea – Amazing!
• Tulips
• Phalaenopsis Orchid (Love the Antalya!)
• Spray Roses (Love the Rose Spray Bandolero, Antike, Lyndee, Estevana and Rustigold for a deeper sunset colour).
• Garden Roses (Love the David Austin Rose Beatrice and Effie and Rose Toulouse Lautrec).
• Ranunculus
• Achillea
• Craspedia (Dried)
• Hyacinth

BLUE TOP 10 PICKS:

• Gentiana (Available late summer)
• Anemone
• Aquilegia
• Delphinium
• Ageratum
• Clematis (Love the Blue Pirouette)
• Eryngium (Thistle)
• Hydrangea (Love the Bela and Lolly Pop Blue)
• Nigella
• Agapantus

What’s important is, these 2 colours don’t compete and when teamed with gold foil/metallic brass tones in your stationery, cutlery and other table decor it will really pull these colours together as Event Stylists - Nini Richi have shown here:

Hopefully these inspire your own wedding theme or other floral arrangements!
