If fire engine red screams Valentine’s Day, blush whispers it sweetly.
It’s a romantic yet subtle shade, as lovely on walls as it is on flowers. Although it’s a more traditional choice for this holiday than last year’s black and white, they look fabulous together. Blush is also great with deep blues or teal-y greens.
Like the illustrations, destinations, and DIYs in this post, blush doesn’t even have to be about Valentine’s Day at all.

Beautiful. You had me at this – “If fire engine red screams Valentine’s Day, blush whispers it sweetly.:”
This is beautiful! I love blush and think it is the most romantic color. It’s so Victorian, and reminds me of a bunch of dahlias tied up with ribbon.
I like your image of the dahlias. I hadn’t thought about it being Victorian before , but you’re totally right!
