Megan & Mark's Dusty Rose Southern Inspired Wedding
The charm of a true southern wedding can be felt through the warm hospitality, gathering of family, and inviting decor. Whether you’re from the south or not, you too can enjoy planning a wedding that captures the same southern charm. For starters, it’s important to remember that simplicity is key. You don’t need to be too formal with your wedding when Southern decor is all about incorporating traditional with relaxed elements.
Speaking of traditions, you can also carry on the custom of mixing the old with the new. Think mason jar floral arrangements, weathered wood signage, and burlap ribbons - essentially rustic vintage with a modern flair.
As you can see, Megan and Mark's wedding happens to be the perfect example of a memorable southern ceremony and reception accented with a blend of soft dusty rose and navy blue.

While planning for your special day, you may have come across dusty rose wedding ideas and wondered what wedding colors go with dusty rose? Well, by itself, dusty rose is a sophisticated muted color known for representing romance, affection, love, and happiness. It can pair well with neutral hues or dramatic colors such as navy blue. The striking combination of dusty rose and navy blue for a southern wedding creates a soft yet rich palette to compliment your vintage decor.
To further appreciate the beauty of these colors in a true southern wedding, let’s take a closer look at Megan and Mark blissful wedding day!
The Bouquets and Boutonnieres
Needless to say, a stunning bouquet always completes the bridal party’s finishing look. For Megan’s wedding day, her dusty rose and blue bouquet featured a timeless arrangement of roses and orchids decorated with greenery and pearls. Her bridesmaids carried elegant matching bouquets with roses, Phalaenopsis, and ranunculus.
Here’s where you need to take notes! To tie in with the southern theme, each bouquet can be accented with cascading twine and vintage lace ribbons for an added touch of warmth.
As for the groom and the groomsmen, their suits were naturally finished with coordinating wedding boutonnieres. The groom, Mark, wore a white boutonniere with a rustic flair while the groomsmen wore dusty rose boutonnieres.
