Blue flowers are among the rarest sights in nature. Perhaps that's exactly why they hold such a special place in floral arrangements – they look elegant, calm and noble.
Whether you're looking for a bouquet to celebrate a baby boy's birth, a wedding's "something blue," or want to please a man, bouquets with blue accents are the right choice.
Why are blue flowers so rare?
In nature, pure blue ("True Blue") occurs in only a handful of species. Plants simply don't have a blue pigment. They achieve a blue shade through a complex chemical reaction or an optical illusion. That's why blue flowers have always been considered a symbol of the unattainable, mystery and wonder.

These flowers owe their colour to nature (and sometimes a bit of chemistry in the soil).
-
Hydrangea: The queen of blue flowers.
Florist's tip: Did you know hydrangeas only turn blue in acidic soil? Plant one in alkaline soil and it turns pink. It's basically a natural litmus test.
-
Iris: Heralds of spring. Their deep blue to violet colour is unmistakable.
-
Larkspur (Delphinium): A tall, majestic flower that gives bouquets vertical height and a "meadow" look.
-
Sea holly (Eryngium): A steel-blue "thistle" that's a hit in modern arrangements. It adds structure to a bouquet and lasts for weeks.
2. Blue roses: Magic, or a trick?
You often ask us about blue roses. Do they exist in nature? The honest answer is: No. Roses don't have a gene for blue colour.
-
How are they made? It's a professional dyeing process. High-quality white or cream roses (often the Vendela variety) are cut and immediately left to "drink up" a special blue dye through the stem.
-
The result: A deep blue, almost velvety bloom (e.g. the Velvet Blue variety) that looks luxurious and mystical.
-
Please note: Since the dye is inside the plant, the leaves may have a slightly blue tint and the water in the vase may become a little coloured. That's a sign of fresh dyeing, not a defect.

Blue is specific, but it's irreplaceable in these situations:
-
For men: Men generally prefer cool tones. A bouquet with blue sea holly, iris or hydrangea is more acceptable to them than pink romance.
-
Weddings: Tradition says the bride should have "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue." We often solve this with a blue ribbon or by working blue hydrangeas into the bouquet.
-
A baby's birth: A bouquet for a baby boy's birth wouldn't be complete without blue.
TIP: Blue looks best combined with white (purity, winter themes) or yellow (a cheerful spring contrast).
