Strawflowers are strong, baby! This head loving plant is hardy and audacious. As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries have similar strengths in their high energy and bold vibes. In like manner, an Aries is not weighted down, and can hold its own. With that said, have a strawflower-only bouquet (they are gorgeous dried as well!) or pop it in as a strong accent. Either way, it’s an honest + stylish look!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Poppy

 Taurus is an earth sign represented by the bull. Like their celestial spirit animal, Taureans enjoy all things calm and sturdy. Our Taurus friends remind us to take it slow + enjoy the earthly delights around us. Clearly, there’s nothing more delightful than a sweet, swaying poppy flower. Poppy fields are notorious for instilling calming (maybe even a bit sleepy) auras in those who visit. This calming presence makes them a pleasure to be around, just like Taureans!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – Ranunculus


florals: Two Wild Hands

Gemini’s are social buttercups! So, the obvious choice here is the ever-flirty ranunculus flower. Comparatively, the meandering ranunculus flowers pop up all over the place with a childlike curiosity. Always looking like they’re asking questions (like a true Gemini). These flowers have a clear sense of humor, with a myriad of colors + vibrancies.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Sweet Pea

How perfect of a match is the fragrant and delicate sweet pea?! Sweet peas are graceful flowers that soften in the sunshine, with an unrivaled climbing pattern. In like manner, is the unrivaled compassion of a Cancer.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) – Protea

 Leos are vivacious, full of life + ruled by the sun! You are natural born leaders with much comfortably set center stage. Similarly, the Protea flower commands attention. It’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea (some might even find it overbearing), but the Protea is confident enough to leave a lasting impression. One stem is all you need to be unforgettable… like a Leo!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – Orchid

In the same fashion, roses in your arrangements keep things beautiful + balanced.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) – Dahlia

The eyes of a Scorpio can look into your soul. Similarly, there’s something so profound about a big, juicy dahlia.

The sensual dahlia seems fitting for a Scorpio, who is captivating with beauty…but has quite a bit of mystery.

Aquarius, your weirdness makes you so wonderful! Not to mention, Aquarius’ strengths include being progressive, original and independent. Anemone flowers are a bit unconventional + eccentric.

Together, both Aquarius + anemone flowers are honest and independent! What an attention-grabber in a bridal bouquet.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) – Peony


florals: Layered Vintage

Pisces are very friendly and usually find themselves in the company of different types of people. Everyone loves a Pisces, just like everyone loves a peony!
