When it comes to wedding bouquets, poppies often get looped in with anemones. If you compare the two side-by-side, it's easy to see how they so often blend together in brides' minds. But the differences really are there—and, while the may be subtle, they're noticeable enough to alter the overall vibes of their respective arrangements. While anemones come with crisp, flat petals with high-contrast black centers (they read a little preppy!), poppies are crinkly and are most often seen with yellow cores (so romantic!). If you're currently sourcing blooms for a lush, wildflower-centric wedding bouquet, you'll want to go with the latter. There may be a million different flowers in the garden, but none feel as of-the-earth and effortless as the poppy.

Don't just take our word for it. The following bridal bouquets, which were all carried down aisles at real weddings, are proof that this particular variety is as wedding-ready as it gets. The best part? There's virtually no flower species out there that it doesn't pair prettily with. Peonies, dahlias, garden roses, mums, delphinium, and even anemones (yep!) can all call this bud partner. And it works just as well in a mixed group. As far as color palettes go, expect to see poppies in plenty of summer hues (this makes sense, since the variety blooms during the warmer months!), like yellow, orange, pink, and bright red.

They may play nice with others, but poppies can also stand on their own, exemplified by this beautiful bouquet by White Magnolia Designs. Ready to discover all of the other stunning ways that you can use poppies in your personal floral arrangement? Click through to discover your new favorite wedding flower.
