It’s no surprise that we’re flower obsessed here at GWS (which is one of the reasons why we’re so excited to share our spring flower guide with you in, like, a week + a half!) To tie us all over until that happens, we are beyond thrilled to share today’s feature, and a new monthly GWS column, highlighting a flower each month that you can incorporate into your wedding, next party or around your home. (Or you can follow along simply to discover + learn more about some ultra pretty blooms!)
Janie from The Bride’s Cafe + photographer, Serena of Love By Serena, will be teaming up to produce + share these features with us each month. First up is a personal fave of ours, the ranunculus, and a flower that makes us think ‘spring’ every time we see it!
Janie tells us more about this crazy-pretty flower, One of my very favorite spring flowers are ranunculus. They come in a variety of beautiful colors and I love incorporating them in my floral designs. I’m always amazed at the varieties….from the dark plums which look like velvet to the pretty shades of pinks. I thought it would be fun to design two totally different floral arrangements….one look incorporating the light shades of the ranunculus and a “moodier” look using the darker color palettes.
Get the Look: The pretty arrangement above includes tulips, mini carnations, seeded eucalyptus in addition to ranunculus.
Get the Look: This moodier arrangement includes anemones, peonies, lisianthus, greenery, seeded eucalyptus in addition to ranunculus.
So pretty, right?! Next month, the flower of the month will be tulips – and we just can’t wait to see what these two come up with!

It’s called “Лютик” (“ljutek”) in Russian. Most people here never saw any ranunculus other than a creeping buttercup, so the very idea of decorating a wedding with ranunculus sounds wild :)
Thanks so much Jen for the lovely feature!!!
Will there be a time wherein you’ll feature sunflower? This flower is nice for wedding production centerpiece. But I think, you’ll still need long stem flowers on the sides, like sunflower. =)
Amazing! The color combinations of these floral arrangements are so gorgeous!
