What Is an Anemone?
Anemones are wildflowers that grow in parts of Europe, North America and Japan. Over the last year, anemone bouquets have become a popular request from to-be-weds. Anemones are known for their fun, spiral-like stem and their color variety.
Anemone Colors
Anemones can be grown in a variety of colors, making them a perfect option for almost every bridal style bouquet. "Panda anemones have white petals with black or navy centers, and they're one of the most popular anemones we work with," says Cady Arruda of Homegrown Blooms, "But, we've also seen brides and grooms include lilac, dark purple, pink, red and burgundy anemones, too."
Anemone Flower Season
Anemone flowers tend to bloom in the springtime, though on certain occasions, some flower farmers have success with a second succession in the fall and winter. It is important to know that anemones don't have the longest vase life and they tend to wilt faster than other flowers. Arruda shares, "If your florist is usually using locally grown anemones in the springtime, this can assure freshness. But if you are requesting your anemones in the 'off-season,' it's important that your florist secures the anemones with a trustworthy source to assure they are as fresh as can be."

Florists' Tips on Adding Anemone Flowers to Your Bouquet
When gathering inspiration for your wedding flowers, it's important to make sure you're aware of a few things, like the seasonality, the vase life, the stem length and which flowers look best together. Lucky for you, we've collected insider tips from florists on how to add anemone flowers in your wedding bouquet. If you're in the midst of wedding planning and searching for a florist, we cannot recommend The Knot Marketplace enough. Simply search by your location and you'll find a complete list of professional florists local to you.
Seasonality of Anemone Flowers
Because of their short vase life, most florists will recommend anemones when they are in season, so they can ensure their couples will get fresh, blooming flowers.
Incorporating Anemones in Your Flower Design
It's important to know that anemones don't have super long stems. This can make them tough to use in certain designs, so ask your florist what additional flowers or designs they recommend combining your anemones with.
What Flowers Should Anemones Pair With in a Wedding Bouquet?
In our research, florists have said, "nature doesn't lie." If two flowers are growing together in nature or in the same season, they will typically compliment one another in a floral arrangement. Anemones are typically paired best with other spring flowers like ranunculus, tulips, larkspur and poppies.
