Many brides choose blue flowers to match their wedding colours or as their ‘something blue’ on their special day. In a bouquet, boutonnière, corsage, hairpiece, or in your décor, blue wedding flowers can create different looks in several different ways. Through their variety of shades and shapes, these beautiful blossoms can be airy and delicate or bright and bubbly – whatever you need to match your bridal style.

Hydrangea
Hydrangea grows in several colours and is commonly known for its white, green and light blue or purple-blue variety. Hydrangea is a popular wedding choice, especially for centerpieces as a single stem grows a very full plumage of soft petals – you don’t need many to make a great impression. It’s also a favourite for many brides and bridesmaids for their bouquets.

Hyacinth
While it was once classified as a lily, hyacinth is now considered an herb – but don’t let this little title change sway you from using this lovely blossom in your wedding. Hyacinth, particularly the grape hyacinth, is a darling cluster of little flowers similar to bluebells and baby’s breath. It often appears more lavendar than a true blue and brings a delightful freshness – in colour and scent – to a bride’s bouquet.

Tweedia
The star-like tweedia is a fashionable choice to add a delicate but cheerfully punchy touch of blue to bridal hairstyles and floral tiaras, buttonholes and bouquets. Tweedia is a gorgeous option for brides who wish to bring a bit of blue into a wedding floral arrangement without overwhelming the composition with this colour.

Delphinium
Also known as larkspur, delphinium is a pretty flower that is part of the buttercup family. A stem of delphinium can grow several flowers all the way up it, producing a somewhat cone-like look. Because of this structure, delphiniums are a great floral option for giving height and structure to table centerpieces and pedestal arrangements for your ceremony or reception on your wedding day.

Agapanthus
Agapanthus is a South African flower that is also referred to as the Lily of the Nile. This blossom features long thin petals and is usually available in indigo, but truer blue versions can be hunted down by an industrious bride and her florist (it’s also popular in white). A single stem can grow several buds, giving a wedding bouquet a dramatic burst of dark colour.
 

Roses
A wedding classic and a symbol for love, roses can be grown in nearly every colour and shade imaginable. While blue is not a natural shade for roses, whether you prefer baby blue, navy, periwinkle or something in between – roses can be made to order through floral dying specialists. Roses, a hearty flower, are fantastic as buttonholes or in bouquets, but can also to be used in reception centerpieces, pedestal arrangements, archways and in head table garlands.

Blue is admittedly a shade of flower that is one of the hardest to come by. Wedding stand-bys like carnations, gerberas and tulips, while available in nearly every colour of the rainbow, just don’t take to blue. If you have your heart set on a specific shade of blue or a floral shape for your wedding flowers that you haven’t seen in this list, you may want to consider silk flowers. The quality of silks has come a very long way in recent years and can now even fool the most astute of wedding guests!
