Assorted Poppy Flowers
Poppies are a DIY bride's dream for their vibrant colors and whimsical charm. With their delicate, paper-thin petals and unique fuzzy pods, poppies add a touch of magic to any arrangement. These flowers are slightly more delicate than your average bloom, but their beauty is well worth the extra care. Poppies are perfect for adding a pop of color to bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces. Yellow, coral, orange, red, and cream poppies are known for their cheerful hues and elegant, slender stems. If you're looking to create a lively and enchanting atmosphere on your wedding day, poppies are the way to go. Their vibrant blooms pair wonderfully with other flowers but also shine brilliantly on their own. The versatility of poppies is endless. They can be used to create stunning table centerpieces or combined with other colorful blooms for a more eclectic look. Their light and whimsical nature bring a sense of joy and elegance to any wedding bouquet, making them a delightful choice for your special day.

- Season: All year
- Color: A mix of yellow, coral, orange, red, and cream tones. The colors you receive might not match the photo exactly. We can't promise exact shades or quantities of each color.
- Special Care Note: These beauties are a bit finicky and highly perishable, so we recommend them for our flower aficionados with a green thumb. With proper TLC, you can enjoy these poppies for up to 5 days. Not every stem will bloom, but you can realistically expect around 3-5 stunning blooms for every 10 stems for your event.
- Flower Design Type: Luxury Accent Flower
Flower care:
- Give the stems a fresh cut, and place in cool water.
- Remove leaves below waterline.
- Poppies will arrive looking like fuzzy little pods. They'll slowly open up, but some buds might stay closed. To help them bloom for your event, gently crack open the fuzzy pod to reveal the beautiful flower inside.
- Some florists recommend burning the ends of the stems when processing flowers. We have found that both burning and simply cutting the stems works well! Please use your own discretion with this.
The Good: Poppies offer stunning and unique blooms that can add a vibrant pop of color to any arrangement. Their delicate petals and bright colors make them a favorite among many flower enthusiasts.
The Bad: Poppies are highly perishable and require careful handling. Due to their delicate nature and specific care requirements, poppies are best suited for individuals with extensive flower knowledge and experience in handling more sensitive blooms.
Poppies are considered a 'Luxury Accent Flower'. Based on our design ratio suggestions here's our recommended quantity suggestion:
- Bridal Bouquet: 6-8 stems
- Maids: 3-5 stems
- Bouts: 1 stem
- Corsages: 1-2 stem
- Centerpieces: 3-5 stems
- Large Arrangements: N/A. Typically too short-stemmed.
Flower Moxie reserves the right to make changes or substitutions. All substitutions are only done as a last resort, and only when the reasons for doing so are reasonable and genuine. For example, if a flower becomes unavailable (off-crop), incorrect color, or not in good condition to grace a wedding function we will substitute a flower that has a similar color and price-point.
Acceptable Subs: Garden Roses, Lisianthus, Spray Roses
