Everyone always says that summer brides have their pick of the best wedding flowers, but we're here to let you in on a little secret: If you're tying the knot between January and May, you'll have easy access to one of our favorite bridal blooms, the ranunculus. While your florist can likely source this layered flower at any point during the year, it's most affordable (and arguably, at its prettiest) while it's in season.

But no matter when you're tying the knot, consider adding ranunculus to your big-day bouquet. Available in a variety of different colors, these delicate crepe-paper thin petals add tons of texture and interest to any arrangement. Statement-making enough to stand out on their own but still complementary enough to pair with bolder blooms (they look great next to a peony or garden rose), the ranunculus is an incredibly versatile bloom that works in just about any arrangement.

That's why it should come as little surprise that this charming flower has become a wedding-day staple in contemporary bouquets. Trying to find the perfect way to add them to your wedding? We give you our full support, plus tons of inspiration to help you find your dream bouquet. Here, 41 of our favorite ways to include ranunculus in your big-day arrangement.
