How to Infuse Your Wedding Day with Ranunculus

Including ranunculus on your wedding day can mean so much more than just featuring these beauties in your bridal bouquet. Consider adding a few individual blooms to accent your low bun, twist or other sophisticated up-do. Have a ranunculus crown designed for your flower girl to wear as she drops petals down the aisle. With large blooms and accompanied by a wide fern or leaf of greenery, ranunculus make stunning boutonnieres, as well. If you plan to use ranunculus throughout your wedding decor, as well, consider giving a few extra blooms to your photographer to stage in still photos of your cake, wedding program, shoes, and rings. 

Where to Place Ranunculus Throughout Your Wedding Day

Along with gorgeous bouquets, consider including ranunculus in your ceremony and reception decor. Line the aisle with small pots or garlands of ranunculus, or cover a trellis at the altar with thesis gorgeous blooms. Place bridesmaids’ bouquets in vases of water on reception tables to repurpose your blooms while styling your reception and creating a sense of continuity between the ceremony and reception. Use ranunculus blossoms to decorate your cake, your guest book table, and table numbers. Pairing something as pragmatic as your seating assignments with something as whimsical as gorgeous flowers will simply elevate the luxury of your wedding.
