It is the iconic blue shade, however, which is the most coveted, and therefore the most valuable and expensive. This unique hue is also fairly rare in flowers, and so florals expressing the feeling of sapphires are truly special.

When creating a bouquet of “sapphire blue”, you can utilize larkspur (delphinium), blue iris, blue hydrangea, or blue asters. Our expert designers will also add decorative stock, such as blue thistle or statice, and accents, such as deep blue vases or faux stones, to celebrate the sapphire. 

Another September Symbol: Asters are the birth flower of September, and give you an alternate way to create a special arrangement for this month’s birthdays. The flowers bloom in late summer and into the fall, and they are easily accessible at this time of year. Asters offer many colorful varieties are a popular choice for seasonal bouquets. You can always identify an aster, as they all have a bright yellow center disk, such as in the arrangement shown above.
