It’s slightly ironic that anemone flowers can signify anticipation, a sweet sentiment when you think about holding a bouquet of them right before walking down the aisle. They can also mean “forsaken” and “a dying hope”, but I choose to ignore those meanings.
I had never heard of an anemone flower until recently. Our florist and I were throwing white flower ideas back and forth via email earlier this month, and she threw out this as an option, but with the understanding that they may not be in season for our wedding (September is a little early for them to be in season).
Swoon! I of course love them more than any other flower I’ve ever seen, and I love the contrast between the snowy white petals and the black speckled centers. Could any other flower be so perfectly made for a black and white wedding? I think not. Needless to say, I’m left in anticipation, wondering if I’ll get the perfect flowers for the perfect day.
Anemone flowers are just as beautiful in some of their other colors, including this great shade of blush. Learn more about anemones, and scroll down to continue swooning right along with me.
Take a guess, ; )
I’m hoping for white tulips for my BM’s and peonies, hydrangeas, tulips and a few roses for me. (all white). The gals will have the blunt cut tulip bunches wrapped with a fabric ribbon in our wedding green, I may use my FI’s family tartan as a wrap for my bouquet.
peonies! even though they are expensive, I must have them! good thing they will be in season for our wedding!
I wanted anemone flowers for my October wedding but the florist said they would not be available. They are gorgeous!
I would love to have peonies, but all of the florists are telling me that July is not the season for them. (Even though in my yard in July the peonies are going off!)
I think I might be doing garden roses and anemones with a few calla lilies instead 
Anemones are beautiful!!! I must have Calla Lilly only becuase they were in my bouquet from my prom oh so many years ago…..
I think that Anemones add such a dramatic feel to any floral arrangement
TULIPS!! They stand for “perfect love” and what could be more perfect for a wedding!! I’m a little worried too because they are just out of season in July, but I’ll be using Ice tulips! I can’t wait!!
Oooo, I’m jealous! I so wanted these — black is one of our accent colors — but they won’t obviously be available in late August!
I love anemones! You’re so lucky they might be in season!
@Miss D’orsay:
It will be a slim chance, at best! I was a little bummed when my florist suggested them, I fell in love and then she’s like, “Oh that’s really early for their season”..ummm. So i’m keeping my fingers crossed, white dahlias I think are my second choice….
I’ve never heard of that flower either; they are very pretty. Kind of remind me of a kiwi’s center
I too love Anemones!!! they’re absolutely beautiful!!! I wish I could fill the entire place with lilies and orchids.. but my sister is allergic and orchids are too pricey.. sigh
LE SIGH — that martha picture just makes me want to call up Darcy Miller and demand she coordinate not only my wedding but my life.
Miss S — please PUHLEASE let us know immediately if they are available for your big day! I’ll be dying to hear!
I’m going with white dahlias since anemones aren’t available.
@Miss Stiletto: Mmmm, white dahlias will definitely be making an appearance in my bouquet!
These are pretty. I didn’t know what these flowers are called before this post. =)
You know, if these flowers are not in season, maybe you can ask Diane from dkdesignshawaii to see if she can make them for you. She had done them recently in clay. See picture on:

Good luck!
I’m a dahlia lover, I’m hoping I can get them for my early July wedding…
I have no idea what flowers to do for ours, thats a task I’ll tackle this summer (were not doing real flowers so we can do whatever we want). I agree with HappiJoyce, an alternative is to do a fake version if you really must have anemone, which I think are gorgeous and may have in mine now!!
I was also suffering from anemone anticipation (hence my avatar pic)! However I decided not to take the chance, and I’m ordering artificial anemones instead so I can be sure that I’ll have them. They are real touch, which I’ve heard look and feel VERY real! So that’s always an option if you’re as die-hard about the anemone as I am
I wanted to anemones for my August wedding, but they were out of season. I was so disappointed!
