Blue is one of the most requested wedding flower colors, and one of the most misunderstood. True blue flowers are rare in nature, but that does not mean you cannot have a breathtaking blue floral palette for your wedding. At Bloomingmore, we carry a range of genuinely blue and blue-toned blooms that can bring that dreamy, something-blue feeling to your big day, whether you are a florist designing a full-scale wedding for 300 guests, a DIY bride creating her own bouquet at home, or someone simply wanting to send a stunning blue floral gift to the bride.
We want to be honest with you: some blue flowers are naturally blue, and some are tinted or painted. We will walk you through both so you can choose what works best for your vision and your budget.
Naturally Blue Flowers Available at Bloomingmore
These blooms have natural blue or blue-violet tones straight from the farm.
- Blue Natural Hydrangeas: Full, lush, and genuinely blue. One of the most popular choices for wedding centerpieces, ceremony arches, and bridal bouquets. A single stem fills an entire vase, making them incredibly cost-effective for large-scale events.
- Shocking Blue Hydrangeas: A deeper, more saturated blue hydrangea variety that makes a bold statement in bouquets and centerpieces. Perfect for couples who want a true, rich blue.
- Blue Lagoon Eryngium: Also known as sea holly, this spiky, steel-blue bloom adds incredible texture and a naturally moody blue tone to any arrangement. A florist favorite for adding depth and interest.
- Delphinium: One of the most dramatic and beautiful naturally blue flowers available. Its tall, elegant spires of true blue blooms are a staple of romantic wedding arrangements and ceremony arches. Delphinium adds incredible height and movement to centerpieces and is stunning in both large-scale event designs and intimate bridal bouquets.
- Lisianthus: A florist favorite that looks like a cross between a rose and a peony. Available in white, lavender, purple, and blush, lisianthus adds a romantic, ruffled softness to blue wedding arrangements and pairs beautifully with blue hydrangeas and delphinium. Exceptionally long-lasting as a cut flower.
Tinted and Painted Blue Flowers
Tinted and painted flowers are a beautiful and widely used option in the floral industry. They give you access to shades of blue that simply do not exist naturally in many flower varieties, and they are completely standard for weddings and events.
- Blue Tinted Roses: Striking and unique, these are a favorite for couples who want something truly unexpected and memorable in their bridal bouquet or centerpieces.
- Blue and White Tinted Roses: A softer, romantic two-tone effect that works beautifully in bridal bouquets and bridesmaid arrangements.
- Light Blue Tinted Limonium: Delicate and airy, limonium is a wonderful filler that adds a soft blue cloud effect to any arrangement. One of the most affordable ways to bring blue into your wedding florals.
- Blue Painted Spider Mums: Bold and dramatic, these make a statement in larger arrangements and large-scale event designs.
How to Use Blue Flowers in Your Wedding
Blue is one of the most versatile and romantic wedding colors, and it works beautifully across every scale and style. Here are some ideas for every type of celebration:
- Bridal bouquet: A hand-tied bouquet of blue hydrangeas, delphinium, and white lisianthus with eucalyptus is classic, romantic, and timeless. For something more unique, try blue tinted roses as the focal flower with baby's breath and lisianthus as accents.
- Bridesmaids: Smaller versions of the bridal bouquet in blue and white, or go monochromatic with all blue hydrangeas and delphinium for a striking, cohesive look down the aisle.
- Ceremony arch: Blue hydrangeas, delphinium spires, and white lisianthus draped across a wooden arch with trailing greenery is one of the most beautiful ceremony looks for a blue wedding.
- Reception centerpieces for large events: Anchor each table with a tall arrangement of delphinium and shocking blue hydrangeas with white roses and lisianthus for a dramatic, elegant look that photographs beautifully. Add blue eryngium for texture.
- Intimate dinner reception: A single blue hydrangea or a small bunch of delphinium in a simple bud vase at each place setting is effortlessly chic and requires no arranging experience.
- Something blue gift: A bouquet of blue tinted roses, delphinium, and lisianthus is a stunning and meaningful bridal shower or wedding gift for the bride-to-be.
- Color pairings: Blue pairs beautifully with white, blush, gold, silver, and deep navy. Add greenery like eucalyptus, Italian ruscus, or Israeli ruscus to ground the arrangement and add a natural, organic feel.
How Far in Advance Should I Order Wedding Flowers?
We recommend ordering at least 2 weeks before your delivery date, and you can place your order up to 90 days in advance. For your wedding, schedule your delivery 2 to 3 days before the event so you have time to condition, hydrate, and arrange your blooms. Since flowers are perishables, that preparation window is important for the best results. Visit our What to Expect When Your Flowers Arrive page for full care guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are tinted blue flowers safe to use in wedding arrangements?
Absolutely. Tinted and painted flowers are a standard, widely used practice throughout the professional floral industry and are used by florists and event designers around the world. They are real farm-fresh flowers that have been color-treated to achieve shades not found in nature. Handle them the same way you would any fresh cut flower, give them a fresh cut, place in water, and keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
Do blue flowers cost more than other colors?
Naturally blue varieties like hydrangeas and delphinium are priced similarly to other flower colors. Tinted and painted flowers may vary depending on the variety and treatment. As with all flowers, some specialty varieties have limited seasonal availability and may sell out, so early ordering is always a good idea.
Do you ship nationwide?
Bloomingmore ships farm-direct with free shipping within the continental United States. Alaska and Hawaii are available with restrictions and a possible added fee. We stand behind every order and will work with you to make it right.
