Ranunculus Bouquet FAQs
What is a ranunculus flower?
A ranunculus is a small, round flower with dozens of thin, tissue-paper petals layered tight around a green or dark center. People often mistake them for tiny garden roses or even peonies. They grow on slender, slightly bendy stems and come in white, blush, pink, peach, orange, red, burgundy and purple.
Are ranunculus good wedding flowers?
Very. They hold their shape well out of water for a few hours, which is all a ceremony and photos really need, and their layered petals photograph beautifully up close. They also mix easily with other flowers, so you can build an entire bouquet from them or use a few as accents among roses and peonies.
What flowers go well with ranunculus in a bouquet?
Almost anything. We see them most often with garden roses, peonies, anemones, blue thistle, scabiosa and plenty of eucalyptus or olive greenery. For an all-one-flower look, a bouquet of nothing but ranunculus is hard to beat.
What season are ranunculus available for weddings?
Ranunculus are at their best in late winter through spring, roughly January into May, which makes them a natural pick for spring weddings. Your florist can sometimes source them outside that window, but expect the widest color range and the best price in peak season.
Are ranunculus expensive for a wedding bouquet?
They are usually a mid-range bloom, more affordable than peonies and often close to garden roses. Prices move with the season and your area, so buying them in peak spring keeps the cost down. Your florist can tell you which colors give you the most impact for your budget.
