Classic, timeless and naturally beautiful, Patience captures hearts with her creamy, ruffled petals and distinctive clean yet heady scent. An ivory wedding rose that exudes simplicity and sophistication, Patience is the ideal choice for brides seeking understated elegance for their wedding day. Fall in love with Patience’s charming milky buds that bloom into perfectly sculpted rosettes, revealing soft ivory tones and a delicate hint of buttery yellow at the heart. Let’s explore how Patience, the quintessential ivory wedding rose, can elevate your wedding flowers to new heights of elegance and beauty.
What fragrance does Patience have?
Patience is renowned for having the strongest fragrance among all the David Austin wedding roses. Her captivating scent blends classic old rose notes with a refreshing hint of lemon, making this ivory rose the quintessential choice for brides who adore scented flowers. Beyond her intoxicating perfume, Patience enchants with her sculptural beauty, elegant, yet always refined in her demure charm.
What style of wedding does Patience work best in?
Patience offers a poise and timeless elegance reminiscent of a bygone era – if Grace Kelly were a rose… Her beautiful yet neutral ivory hue makes Patience a versatile choice for many differing wedding styles but she truly shines in classic settings with little adornment to distract from her refined beauty. The interesting architecture of historic venues complements Patience flawlessly and classic design elements such as grand entrances, sweeping staircases and stately fireplaces can be enhanced further with cascading greenery and Patience’s milky white blooms. The heady scent offered by this archetypal ivory wedding rose adds a luxurious touch to white wedding receptions, lingering over table centrepieces as guests indulge in the evening’s festivities.
What Colours Complement This Ivory Wedding Rose?
Patience’s ivory hue is a warm neutral that brings elegance to simple colour schemes as well as great versatility. Complementary colours are wide-ranging, from earthy shades like brown and ochre, plus green, grey, black or blue to the prettier shades of blush, peach and pink. Patience will also be the perfect partner to sunshine apricots and yellows and don’t be afraid of white! You might think white and cream don’t go together, but cream warms up white while keeping the look light and bright. Plus Patience can also bring subtle variation and depth to white wedding bouquets and reception centrepieces, like a fine art painting with layer upon layer of colours and tones.
Pure white is surprisingly rare in the rose world, where most varieties have a subtle tint of colour at some point in their lifespan, with hints of blush, peach or cream. Talk to an experienced florist who can ensure the rose you choose will complement your overall wedding colour palette.
Ivory Rose Wedding Bouquets
You simply can’t go wrong with a classic white wedding bouquet. Some might call it conservative but for us, it’s the timeless choice and the ultimate in less-is-more refinement. If you love classic bridal designers like Vera Wang, Justin Alexander, Susanne Neville, and Emilia Wickstead, Patience is the perfect rose to complement your look of old-world glamour with a touch of modern femininity. She is the quintessential ivory wedding rose.
You could keep it simple with a bouquet of just roses and touches of glossy green foliage, or add in some variety with seasonal blooms. We adore the look of pale yellow-centred Japanese anemone, spires of white veronica, blue-grey silver foliage and delicate maidenhair fern paired with Patience in this gorgeous ivory bridal bouquet. Simply stunning!
