Flowery Friday



Last fall I was lucky enough to create wedding arrangements for a bride who wanted anemones in her bouquet.
I have long loved these black-eyed beauties, so it was a real treat to work them into a bridal bouquet. My personal feeling is that anemones are sweet, delicate and add a feminine but dramatic pop to floral designs, making them lovely and versatile.

Did you know?
Anemones are a perennial herb
Their name is derived from Greek meaning 'Wind flower' and represents anticipation
Anemones should be planted in the fall
The are available in whites, purples, reds and pinks
