Not sure whether these are of any use to you but hopefully you will find them some help!

Dawn

If you would consider fake flowers, you can get some very realistic roses in a huge variety of colours, including navy, and no doubt other flowers in your colour too.

Our themes sound very similar - mine is dark blue and ivory and lace!

I initially looked at blue flowers but finding dark ones is very hard. I have instead gone for a complete contrast and introduced splashes of bright fuschia pink in the flowers. You could think about using a palette of antique coloured roses instead ( I wanted to do this but OH vetoed the idea!).

Hi - although there are blue flowers in the natural world, dark blue are a rarity. There are a few midnight/royal blue flowers available in artificial but actual navy blue is difficult to find in artificial too.

You can mix the artificial blue with fresh flowers quite easily if your florist is happy to do this. This is about as dark as it gets with artificial blue in this bouquet which is hydrangea:-

As minuet says, a good option is to go for a complete contrast using hot pink, orange, yellow, lime green or mixing blues/pinks and purples together:-

Hope that helps.

I don't know if you would be interested in making your own 'feather flowers'. It doesn't cost much but does take a bit of time to make them all. You can choose any bead/sparkle to go in the center. Plus you can buy pretty much any colour in feathers.

You should be, they look amazing!

I'm having a bouquet of blue hydrangeas similar to this

My friend wanted calla lillies for her wedding last year, and when she saw how much they cost fresh was appalled. So she got some fake ones on eBay and they were AMAZING! I still have my little white bridesmaid bunch, and they look great a year on. She had a deep red colour for her bunch and they were also amazing. Have a look, some of the ones from China are really great and reasonable price. Check out the feedback of the seller and that will give you an indication of them.

I've found the same thing - navy isn't a great colour for flowers. I was thinking I'd just stick to all white/cream flowers and incorporate the blues in other places

Thanks for all the advice guys! Defo now thinking of incorporating artificial blue flowers with real ones to get the darker colour! Loving the feather idea too- so clever

I was thinking of dotting some daffodils around the venue (it will be spring and they remind me of my dad who is no longer with us!) so maybe I could add abit of yellow to the bouquets

These are beautiful! But too pale for me

LOVE THESE!
