Blue flowers can be very difficult to find sometimes.  One of my favorite naturally blue flowers is hydrangea.  Hydrangea is a nice accent to any bouquet, and can be found in a wide variety of colors — for blues, they can be deep, almost indigo, or they can be very pale!  They can wilt very quickly, though, so make sure you keep them in water as long as possible.

Of course, hydrangea aren’t the only blue flowers…just the easiest to find.  I think the problem with a lot of blue flowers is that you don’t necessarily know the exact shade you’re going to get from the grower, so it can be a tricky proposition if you’re dying for a specific blue.  Sometimes what you had hoped would be blue turns out almost purple.

Finally, if you just can’t seem to find blue flowers that you like, there are some really great non-floral options to get that color you need on Etsy!

Are you having a blue bouquet at your wedding?  Will you go with real flowers or something else?
