All About Amaranthus Wedding Flowers

Amaranthus is a beautiful choice for a DIY bride when pulling a design together for wedding flowers. Amaranthus is considered a Texture Flower.

Amaranthus, also known as love-lies-bleeding, is a striking annual flower that adds a touch of drama to any arrangement or bouquet. Amaranthus flowers are small and tubular, and they grow in clusters along the stem. The most common color for amaranthus is red or burgundy, but you can also find amaranthus in shades of gold and green. There are two types of amaranthus flowers - upright amaranthus and hanging amaranthus.

Amaranthus is a popular choice for wedding flowers because of its unique appearance and long vase life. Fresh cut Hanging Amaranthus can be found year-round, and Upright Amaranthus is available in Fall and early Winter. 

When choosing amaranthus for your wedding flowers, keep in mind that the flowers can be quite heavy, so they may need extra support in bouquets and centerpieces. Amaranthus is also a fairly delicate flower, so it's important to handle it with care.

Meaning of Amaranthus Flowers

Amaranthus flowers have a few different meanings, depending on the color of the flower. Red or Burgundy Amaranthus flowers represent undying love, while green amaranthus flowers symbolize immortality. Amaranthus flowers can also represent wealth and prosperity. This makes amaranthus a great choice for your wedding flowers if you want to incorporate a special meaning into your décor.

How to Care for Your Amaranthus DIY Wedding Flowers

Amaranthus flowers are fairly easy to care for, but there are a few things you should keep in mind. As with any fresh flowers, they do not do well in extreme weather, so if you are having an outdoor wedding in the middle of summer or winter, make sure to keep your amaranthus blooms indoors until they are ready to be used. You should also avoid getting the blooms wet when you are working with them, as this can cause the blooms to wilt.

When you receive your amaranthus flowers, start by cutting 1-2 inches off the bottom of the stem at a 45 degree angle. Immediately after cutting the stems, place them in a clean vase or container filled with fresh, cool water. You can also add a floral preservative to the water to help extend the life of your blooms.

To help your amaranthus flowers stay healthy and hydrated, make sure to add water to their buckets or containers as needed so they can continue to hydrate. You should also keep them out of direct sunlight and away from drafts or heat sources.

If you are using amaranthus in bouquets or arrangements, it is important to support the heavy blooms so they do not droop. Try using wire or floral tape to secure the stems in place.
