And his name is Dusty. Dusty Miller.

Looking at this picture, I’m not sure why I love this plant. There is nothing particularly appealing about it when it is all alone. BUT…add in some gorgeous peonies and a few garden roses, and my heart starts pitter pattering out of my chest!
Just look at this gorgeous bout! Beautiful white pairs amazingly with the frosty feel of the dusty miller—perfect for a winter affair!

And look at how amazing it looks with the pops of color in this next bouquet! AH, GORGEOUS.

And last but not least, paired with romantic blush tones for a soft, feminine effect. Le sighhhh.

I never really thought I would care all that much about greenery in my bouquets and centerpieces, but now that I know “Dusty” there is no going back! He MUST be everywhere.
Did you fall in love with an unexpected minor detail? And what are your thoughts on Dusty: love him or leave him?
Love it! Especially for a fall, winter or early spring wedding. I honestly have not given much thought to the “greenery” that will be included in my bouquet, but these examples are so lovely!
I’m definitely using it too! 
My wedding is fall next year. I’m pairing it with greens whites and blues
I had Dusty Miller in my fall bouqet. I think it adds some really interesting texture. It looks lovely with the peonies!
I love dusty miller - there is something just so dang romantic about it.
wow i love it for my winter wedding next Dec:) I did not want any greenery anywhere bc our colors and the venue has ivy inside(a garden like setting) but its sooo pretty!
Oh, this was one of my favourite bouquet parts. Gorgeous!
I love the color of that plant! It’s such a softer green than most other “greenery.”
Is that a lemon in the 1st bouquet? that’s an idea..
I love the dreamy look of Dusty.
I haven’t really seen much of Mr. Miller before this post, and I must say he is lovely, I am quite smitten myself!
I have always loved this plant. Growing up they were a permanet staple in my mothers garder. I love that they are greenery without being in your face leafy. I love the fact their feel soft too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I’ve seen this plant in wedding bouquets and falle in love with it, bu couldn’t figure out what it is. I’m SO glad you made this post!
I can put a name to my flower (or plant?) obsession.
Um Dusty is a gorgeous guy all year round! And he’s soft and fuzzy to top it off =)
It pairs perfectly with light colors, especially those gorgeous peonies!
Love dusty! I feel like it could go with almost any season.. it’s such a light, feminine touch!
@jessica.dirr: haha Mr Miller…gotta remember that one
@dragonlover: Yay glad I could be so useful!
So glad I’m not alone in my love for the pretty silvery deliciousness that is Dusty Miller
I’m digging hypericum berries. They add a really unique texture to a rose bouquet.
Ooh, it’s so soft and pretty! I never considered greenery because I was DIYing and had NO clue what to do with it, but I love this!! I hope you can work it in!
This looks so lovely. I’ve been looking for winter greenery to put into my floral arrangements. I wonder if my florist can get this…
