5 Ways to Use Dusty Miller (a.k.a. the “It” Foliage) In Your Bouquet

The frosty look of dusty miller creates a striking contrast with yellow roses and craspedia in this bouquet. Silver brunia and succulents are the perfect complement, especially in a warm-weather destination (they’re both wilt-proof).

Hydrangeas, roses and calla lilies create a winning cream and pale-pink floral arrangement, well suited for an outdoor wedding– when you want to let the scenery (and the dress!) do most of the talking. Dusty miller is just enough to anchor the arrangement and add subtle color variety.

Mix a variety of colorful stems for a just-picked look. Bright dahlias, roses and viburnum berries in give this bouquet a cheery feel, while dusty miller leaves add texture and a contrasting pop of green.

An Intimate, Romantic Wedding at The River Café in Brooklyn New York.

Don’t be afraid to mix a couple of shades of the same hue. Melon garden roses and burnt orange calla lilies pair beautifully together, while the contrast of silvery dusty miller adds dimension to this bouquet.

If you’re on a tight budget, stick to just two or three floral varieties–your florist can save on these by buying in bulk. Pairing dusty miller with a dome-shaped flower like peegee hydrangeas give this bouquet a full, lush feel (for less).
