Eugenie, A Versatile and Classic Rose
When it comes to choosing a classic wedding rose, Eugenie has it all. Frothy petals, a flamboyant rosette and a gorgeous soft ivory hue that transforms into delicate blushed peach in full bloom. Eugenie evokes a young and carefree charm yet is also incredibly graceful, captivating, playful and flamboyant. She undergoes a graceful transformation over four days or so, opening from a tight unassuming bud to reveal countless ruffled petals and a heavenly aroma. Eugenie is a great alternative to a peony. Her advantages are year-round availability and her incredible scent.
What colour is Eugenie?
Like several of our David Austin wedding roses, Eugenie’s final shade has subtle variations. This is a part of what makes her so special! The ivory outer petals graduate to pale blush, soft peach or even a mellow golden centre. Eugenie is a beautifully versatile rose. She adds warmth and depth for brides looking for white bridal bouquets with a hint of blush.
What season does classic wedding rose Eugenie shine in?
We are particularly enamoured with Eugenie in winter weddings, where her gossamer petals echo the pale winter morning sky. We love her alongside seasonal favourites including hellebore, snowberry and anemone, and winter foliage of eucalyptus and mimosa. Eugenie’s captivating scent also evokes feelings of winter, with warm notes of myrrh and aniseed.
What other roses does Eugenie work well with?
Eugenie can stand alone as the star focal flower or pair beautifully with other David Austin roses. She beautifully complements Juliet, Keira, Constance and Leonora. We love Eugenie in a monochrome bridal bouquet with varying shades of white and contrasting foliage that graduates from soft sage to rich emerald. She creates a statement of stylish simplicity. Eugenie makes for an unforgettable bridal bouquet whatever your wedding style. Whether classic or contemporary; bohemian or beachy, she will be right at home.
How can I use Eugenie roses in my wedding flowers?
As well as the perfect addition to bridal bouquets, Eugenie brings beauty to floral displays for wedding ceremonies and receptions. We love to see her overflowing from a stone urn with hydrangea, and trailing foliage at the entrance to a church or country home for a traditional wedding look, however, she shines in contemporary settings too. Whether suspended from the ceiling in a cloud-like chandelier or as part of an open archway for a statement ceremony backdrop, Eugenie always delivers with style and elegance.
How can I incorporate Eugenie into my table flowers?
When planning your wedding tablescapes, consider adding Eugenie to floral centrepieces so your guests can enjoy her beauty and aroma up close. They will undoubtedly reach out to touch her petals to check whether she is real! Eugenie looks equally stunning in low compote designs in a naturally gathered garden style or as part of a formal display surrounding tall candelabra. Don’t crowd her, let her shine with space to breathe, and you can’t go wrong with this breathtaking and classic wedding rose.
