Ranunculus Bouquet?

has anyone used this flower for bouquets? i want to use them as our only flower (no fillers) for the girls' and my bouquet.

i bought a bundle and they seemed to wilt quite quickly when out of water, but perked right up when placed back in. i was hoping this was because they weren't as fresh from the store that i bought them than what they will be from where i've ordered them?? do you think there will be a difference?

i was thinking that i could wrap the stems in a wet paper towel, then plastic then cover with satin ribbon for the wedding. does anyone think this will work?

i've also only really been able to find one picture of a bouquet made of this flower alone. does anyone happen to have any others?

Ranunculus Bouquet?
A number of bouquet bases come with hollowed out handles and prongs to anchor a floral sponge (that's the green brick looking thing that goes at the bottom of big floral arrangements) inside so that between the ceremony/pictures and at the reception they can be placed in a small vase of water to hydrate the blooms without killing your ribbons and lace in the process.

Reply:I love ranunculus. I wanted to use it with peonies. Alas, my wedding is in October and they aren't in season.



I am not sure about the care of them. You might want to ask over in the gardening section and see if some gardeners might have some ideas.

I think it's beautiful! I've never used them, I am using hydrangeas, but they seem to look wonderful to me!



Congrats and good luck!

Here you go!

It says to hydrate them in a solution of warm water and a floral preservative for two hours before usage. Use a plain piece of ribbon to hold them together so they can be in the solution until the very last minute. They sell bouquet "wraps", something you just slip onto the bouquet instead of wrapping it with ribbon. You can use this so you don't have to dunk your ribbon in water. Then at the reception, have the same solution ready and put your bouquet right back into it. Anyway, it's just a suggestion, I hope the site helps you!
Reply:I think that wrapping them with a wet paper towel is a disaster waiting to happen. Ask your florist for their suggestions. Perhaps a vial filled with water could be disguised better. I have been in wedding where professional florists work fell apart let alone a diy bouquet. I'm sure that there will be a better option for you. They are gorgeous flowers, I would just be leery of attempting this yourself.
