It provides that soft link that is the perfect bridge in elements like bouquets and centerpieces.

Why is blush a unique color to obtain in floral?

Blush pink DOES grow naturally in nature in many blooms such as lisianthus, astilbe, garden roses, spray roses, and ranunculus. However, because we are relying on natural forces of nature to produce the color, it sometimes ends up being available only in a certain shades - which might not be the exact shade that you had in mind for your event. How do we combat this? We receive the product 3-4 days in advance to be fully on top of this scenario ahead of time- if one variety of bloom looks a little TOO deep pink, we still have time to order anther variety to replace that bloom to achieve the look you are dreaming of!
