Inspired by Ranunculus!I constantly work with designs that include ranunculus, they are so full of texture and really a beautiful addition to any floral combination. I love how complicated they can look because of all the layers of petals they have but at the same time, they're so delicate and dainty. They are extremely cost effective and versatile and I think that's why they are so popular. Photo Courtesy of Did You Just See What I SawOn Mother's Day, I used them at my home as I hosted my family over for the day. I bought two different colors and placed various stems within my collection of Milk White Vases. So...

These ranunculus were on sale for $5 and I couldn't resist sharing some pics. Hope you all have a great weekend!Lola likes them too......

Eye Candy Friday : v55 {floral colors of plum, eggplant, lavender}As many of you might know by now, I'm a HUGE fan of purple for weddings (any and all shades).

The bridal bouquet was created using plum dahlias, eggplant mini calas, lavender ranunculas and purple tulips. The bridesmaids bouquets were similar to the bridal bouquet but the lavender ranunculas was removed and replaced with chocolate brown cymbi...

what to carry?I thought I wanted my bridesmaids to carry small bouquets. That is, until I saw this: Beth Berry Photography I have seen the idea before, but this time it really struck me. I think it would be a fun and modern twist on the original bouquet to instead have the girls carry clutches in different patterns of reds and/or oranges. For the sake of the wedding ceremony, we would adorn each clutch with a peony or ranuncula. Beth Berry Photography It’s something a bit more fun, and instead of throwing away their bouquets, the girls get to keep a fun clutch. I’m not much of a flower person (a...
