Deep Violet Ranunculus Flower
Ranunculus are a DIY bride's favorite for their ruffly petals and organically curved stems. They look similar to a peony, but slightly smaller than a rose. Ranunculus are hardy and works great in bouquets, bouts, and centerpieces! Deep Violet Ranunculus are famous for their slender, curvy stems and billowy white petals. If you’re looking for an airy blossom to highlight your wedding day, these flowers are perfect. Their featherweight blooms pair beautifully with any flower, but stand elegantly on their own, as well. The ways you can use ranunculus are limitless. These flowers look stunning on their own in the centers of tables or paired together with colorful blossoms. Their light and airy feeling adds a sense of effortless ease to any wedding day bouquet.

The Good: The world loves deep violet ranunculus. These dainty, light and beautiful flowers are a staple at almost every wedding. They’re exceptionally hardy, especially considering how delicate they appear. They also have the longest vase life out of all the delicate flowers — they can last up to two weeks and still look brand new.
The Bad: Ranunculus can appear very curved. Sometimes, they bend under the weight of their own bloom. To counter that, we recommend wiring your ranunculus about 50% of the time using 22-gauge straight floral wire. Watch the video below to learn more.

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.
