While it's safe to say we openly adore all wedding flowers, there's something special about anemones. An anemone bouquet might just be the way you decide to brighten up your big day. They're cheerful and happy, two descriptors that should adequately sum up the vibe of your nuptials. Luckily, these pretty wedding blooms are readily available throughout a good portion of the year—generally winter through early summer—and can add a little extra color and personality to any woman's bridal arrangement.

Particularly well known for their delicate petals and bold, contrasting black centers, anemones also offer a touch of nontraditional flair—perfect for the classic bride who wants to make a subtle statement with her personal clutch. We may be partial to how these buds look in bouquets, but they bring a little bit of whimsy to just about any floral display. Available in a broad range of colors, from white to red, pink, purple and even blue, these little blooms are incredibly versatile.

Still searching for reasons to add this bud to your wedding bouquet? The following arrangements, which were all carried by real brides, will surely convince you. Whether you decide to make like several of these women and carry a wedding bouquet that consists entirely or anemones or copy the others by adding just a few (here and there!) to your assorted spray, you really can't go wrong. No matter what, these blooms are sure to stand out in a sea of peonies, garden roses, and dahlias. Ready to discover the full beauty of this unique wedding flower? Click through for some of the prettiest floral inspiration for your anemone bouquet.
