I’ve come to notice that the lovely little details are just that: they play a supporting role in the big day; the things that aren’t always noticed at first but are crucial in bringing your vision to life. Today’s Floral Spotlight focuses on one of my favorite unsung heroes in florals: the lovely Dusty Miller.
Dusty miller {otherwise known as Centaurea cineraria, the Velvet Centaurea} is the perfect accent to bring on a silvery-green color to your bouquet or centerpieces, and is readily available in Spring to fall in cold-winter regions and all year in warm-winter climates. Long story short: your florist should have no problem finding it year-round {and for an affordable price}!
Here’s today’s roundup (rather photo-heavy because there are just so many inspirational pics to choose from!):

And lets not forget my favorite detail: the boutonnières!
This one was on my inspiration board for our wedding!

See what I mean? They play the role in such a tiny detail, but when included, really make the other colors “pop” around them!
Happy Monday!
these bouquets are delicate and unusual! it´s difficult for me to choose the nicest one! Gorgeous!
I love Dusty Miller… a bouquet is better off for having it in there. Great round up!
Gorgeous!
the texture is perfection! my favorites are the boutonnieres!
I love the texture of dusty miller. You reminded me that I forgot to ask for them in my bouquet.
Have you been reading my mind? I've noticed this popping up in a ton of beautiful bouquets and I've been wondering what its called. Great picks!
Wow, you have put together a fabulous tableau of Dusty Miller beauties! Thanks so much.
dusty miller adds such amazing texture to any bouquet
Every time I find a bouquet with dusty miller in it I fall in love but then I keep forgetting what it's called! Love all of these, esp the one with the lovely stripped ribbon and the one under that. Lovely finds. <3 Have a great Monday!
I love that this plant is silver. Makes white Christmas wedding bouquets magical and by the look of your research you did for us-makes a lot of bouquets and boutonnieres magical!
Just beautiful! I love the texture and the subtle elegance they add to floral arrangements!
