Design tips for this palette
Keep the cream-to-rust ratio balanced — 60/40 favoring rust.
Use scabiosa pods instead of scabiosa blooms for dried texture that reinforces earthiness.
Olive branches add Mediterranean warmth that standard eucalyptus doesn't.
How to price this for your client
A repeatable three-step workflow — every proposal, every client, every wedding.
1. Add stems to your Fiory library
Enter each stem from the recipe above into your Fiory stem database. Set the wholesale price per stem (or use our 2025 market defaults). The math runs automatically for every future proposal.
2. Apply your markup multiplier
Set your studio markup (2.5x–3.5x is standard) once in your Fiory account. Every recipe built with these stems inherits that markup automatically — no manual math, no pricing mistakes.
3. Generate the proposal PDF
Drag the saved recipe into a proposal, add your client details, and export a branded PDF in under five minutes. Clients see a professional document; you save two hours per wedding.
