Today we are continuing our series where we highlight a specific wedding flower we love designing with: Zinnias! Zinnias are so fun! They are what we call “annuals,” meaning they will grow for one season to produce flowers and seeds, but the original plant will not come back in following years. They have solitary, daisy-like flower heads on a single stem, which makes them great to design with and easy to add to any arrangement. These are ideal for anyone to grow because they bloom quickly and will continue to up until the first frost. There are three main kinds of zinnia flowers: single, semid ..read more

Butterfly Ranunculus got its name from having a look similar to butterfly wings. Its petals appear light, airy and paper-like, shaped like butterfly wings, which gives it a delicate look. This type of Ranunculus also has a natural wax coating that gives a sparkle and protects it to boost its lon ..read more
