🌿 Rosemary – Evergreen Fragrance in Every Stem
Fragrant, evergreen, and endlessly versatile — rosemary brings both structure and scent to your designs. It’s fine; needle-like foliage offers a clean, linear texture that frames focal blooms without stealing the spotlight. The deep green tone works across palettes, from soft pastels to bold jewel tones, and its herbal aroma adds a sensory layer that guests will remember. Whether tucked into a bridal bouquet, woven through a garland, or styled as a table accent, rosemary carries the quiet elegance of the Mediterranean garden into every arrangement.
