Beautiful, I just saved those pics to my inspiration folder. Thank you!

Finally!!! I have been admiring these buds forever. I love the light petals against the rustic center, a little sweet bridal on the outside, major drama on the inside. I’m glad someone else appreciates their whimsical beauty

HCB, are they outrageously expensive??

these flowers are gorgeous!!!

i don’t think i’ve ever seen them before. soooo pretty!!! good find, dumpling!!

@katherine: Honestly - I don’t exactly know how expensive they are. My bouquet was sort of on the expensive side, but I only needed two bouquets (me and MOH) so I splurged a bit. Sorry I couldn’t be more specific.

we’re using anemones - we chose poppies as our inspiration/theme, so poppies are on our invites and anything else we can slap them on, however since our wedding is in the fall, actual poppy flowers aren’t to practical for bouquets and such…so we are using anemones which look just like poppies and give that bold, graphic look we are going for! red for me, white for the girls! i can’t wait to see how they come together!

I loooove anemones! We won’t be using them due to their black centers (the best part!), but I think that they are gorgeous!

*gasp* where have these flowers been all my life? They have now been added to my inspiration folder, thanks!

I am having anemone in my bouquet and centerpieces this october (25th to be exact) and they have to be imported from Holland (along with the ranunculus that I HAD to have)… it definitely increased the cost of my flowers to have them imported, but I don’t think that they’re as expensive as poppies… I think my florist said that she’s charging me an extra $25 per arrangement and bouquet for the imported flowers (kind of a significant increase if you have centerpieces, but I think it’s worth it!!). Hope this helps a bit… let me know if you want me to get more info from my florist all you fall brides. :o)

On April Reed’s cake website- the cake with the anemones facing out ( as opposed to the more popular on top) was my cake inspiration. Unfortunately at the last minute my florist couldn’t get anemones for my august wedding so we used roses.

Does anyone know how well these hold up in bouquets? I’ve never seen these flowers in person, but they look GORGEROUS and I love them.. but will they wilt throughout the day?

Does anyone know where to buy the white anemones with the dark center? I’d like to use them but can’t find them anywhere….

I’m obsessed too! Planned my entire wedding around the flowers! I’m using them for my black and white August 1 wedding… LOVE THEM! I met with the florist that I’m using and she said NO PROBLEM (I had heard they were not in season “through the grapevine”). I met with another florist just to make sure that I was going with the right person, and he was a JERK - said he absolutely could not do them and refered to two books. One said they were in season, one said they werent. I picked up my belongings, laughed at him, and said I already had another florist that told me she could do them and I would send him beautiful pictures! He really solidified my decision.
