Black Flowers
I’m a big fan of black flowers. I think that they can be unexpected and interesting, without being depressing or goth. They’re just so dramatic, and people really never expect to see black flowers. They’re obviously not a true black, instead being dark burgundy or purple, but the look is unmistakable.
1. I created this bouquet for a friend’s wedding last summer. She wanted bright colors in all of her flowers but all of the bridesmaids were wearing black so I thought it would be a nice way to pop her flowers a bit by using black Dahlias. Combined with bright colors, the black looks downright classy.

3. They’re very rare, but black Irises have such a lovely shape.
4. Another rare one – the Landini Asiatic Lily.
5. Black Baccara roses add drama and romanticism!
6. A new twist on a wedding standard – black Calla lillies.
7. This scabiosa is a bit strange looking but would look great paired with other flowers.
8. Black or chocolate Cosmos look great and they smell great too – like chocolate!
If you know of a black flower I’ve missed, I’d love to hear about it!
