Ranunculus, as you can see, are very pretty and full of petals. Flowers that have more petals can be a great way to cut flower costs because fewer blooms may be needed. These blooms are tinier, though, so you can still have a full bouquet, it just won't be as large. The blossom in July and August.
White, yellow, pink, gold, orange and red are the colors these beauties come in. If you are not of the faint of heart color-wise, I say grab these in all colors and create the most eye catching arrangements for your wedding. I have a friend who definitely turn her nose up at that statement. And it's okay if you did, too. If you don't like them grouped, you must admit they are vibrant enough to stand alone in blocks of color.
Pricing in the Memphis wedding market is quite reasonable. You may be able to have a bouquet of about 12 white blooms made for around $50. The colored blooms will cost a bit more. Keep in mind, this cost is without any fillers (coordinating flowers and/or greenery). Also, pricing varies from florist to florist due to labor and other overhead costs. So, please don't go into the florist with a printout of this blog and say, "Andria said...". But, you can use this a starting point for your own wedding budget.
As always, tell me what you think of this week's Flower of the Week. Also, leave any suggestions for coordinating flowers for a ranunculus wedding bouquet.
I do want to mention the similarity of the look of the edges of the ranunculus petals to the Preston Bailey Rose Bowl. If you haven't seen him create this masterpiece, you can do so here. Do you see what I see?

That orange one is amazing and the same flower that my bouquet is based on. I saw it in a book an just knew that I had to have it no matter how much it would cost, which is way more than $50 :)
I think that those are some of my most favorite flowers - I wish I had known about them when I planned my own wedding, I would have loved to have used them in my bouquet! Gorgeous!!!
I've seen a few orange and marigold colored ones that just floored me! Loving the ranunk!
