You’ve got two options – mix with whites for a delicate, light and pretty bouquet; or mix with dark, contrasting colours for some drama! Roses and peonies work well for a fluffy bunch and add some greenery to make the blush stand out.
Roses are always a gorgeous choice! Using just one type of flower makes a real impact. Use them in a range of subtle tones for a beautiful bouquet.
Mixing blush with darker tones brings some impact and makes for a truly eye-catching bouquet.
Peonies are a rose’s best friend! Create a soft, fluffy bouquet with white and the subtlest of blush tones.
