a valentine’s-tablescape-inspired color palette
This week’s color palette is inspired by the beautiful work of a “floral sommelier” here in Houston by the name of Dahlgren Baker, owner of Olive & King. In a recent Instagram post, she wrote: “We’ll tell you which flowers pair best with the hue of your favorite wine and the chorus of clinking glasses, and when I tell you I’m only half joking it’s because I’m a sucker for the details…so cheers to always tryin’ to squeeze a little extra romance into any floral occasion.” I mean…color matching flowers to drinks? Yes please! What a fun approach to florals!!
If you’re looking to enhance the romance this February, look no further than this mix of deep reddish-pink, orange, peachy-pink, olive, and leaf green.
Aaaand, if you’re a spouse looking to order flowers for your significant other, let me give you a tip. The difference between chain-bought-bouquets and wedding-pro-level-arrangements is in the details: the textures, the variety, and the in-between tones. Sure, red roses are nice, but the magic comes when you mix in layers of orange, peachy-pink, and olive.
