The white rose is a very common wedding flower. It is a global symbol for romance and passion. Many brides choose to hold a bouquet of white roses at their weddings, but some what to try something different. For the bride who wants an alternative to the rose, I recommend anemone or ranunculus. Both flowers, a part of the Ranunculaceae family, are different from the rose and create beautiful bouquets, centerpieces and decor.
Anemone
Said to be the creation of the Goddess Venus, the anemone has a sweeter feel than the rose. Perfect for an outdoor wedding, the anemone has a signature look of two colors. The middle of the flower is of a darker hue.
Available Fall to Late Spring
Ranunculus
The Tecolote Ranunculus, the most commonly used species, can be mistaken for a rose, but its abundant petals create a more lush look similar to ruffles.
Available Spring to Early Summer
