Here is some of my bouquet inspiration. Since I plan on DIYing the bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces I want to keep them simple, yet lovely and definitely real.
Anemone. One meaning is that it is used to signify anticipation. Well, that is certainly something I expect will occur on the big day. Oh yeah, AND they perfectly match my black and white wedding.
Ranunculus. I couldn't find a great meaning that I liked. I like how they have a lot of petals and would really "fill-out" a bouquet.
Here are some photos of anemones and ranunculus together.
Another option is garden roses. Some people like to use them instead of peonies because 1. they are cheaper and 2. they are hardier.
I may end up getting all three kinds of flowers and using them in various ways in the centerpieces. I plan on either ordering from Fiftyflowers or Whole Blossoms. I expect if we need more we may need to make a stop to a local flower shop to get more fillers, like white carnations or any other white flower I can find.
