Unlike roses and tulips, the name anemone is less commonly known except to those gardeners and florists who take delight in getting to know this lovely and delicate flower.

Anemone is a member of the Ranunculaceae family and is a relative of the buttercup. The name originates from the Greek word anemos, meaning wind, as breezes signaling an approaching rainstorm will cause the petals to close.

The button-eyed daisy shaped anemone blooms in a variety of colors including vibrant red, pink, purple, yellow and white on sturdy bright green stems. They take on varied meanings among different cultures. To some, anemones signify protection against disease and illness. Others view them as signaling a forsaken or forgotten love.

In the joyous realm of weddings, anemones signify anticipation and excitement for the future. For use in modern, sophisticated or black tie occasions, choosing the black and white anemone can convey the perfect statement. It’s two toned face lends a streamlined and minimalist effect to compliment palettes of after 6 formal wear in black, brown and jewel tones.

Contemporary venues ooze glamour when decked out in black and white anemones. Diamonds and pearls and top hats and tails come to mind. How about a contemporary look of red lipstick and red nail polish on brides and bridesmaids carrying black and white anemone bouquets for a dazzling sight. Reverse the color scheme and sashay up the aisle carrying a bouquet of daring cherry red anemones wearing long black gloves.

For a more subdued presentation, consider adding a few anemones to a bouquet of garden roses, ranunculus and greenery. For classic style, pair anemones with peonies, dahlias and green hypericum berries. A few well placed anemones look divine on a wedding cake. They shine in vases of gold and silver and gleam against metallics. Their futuristic faces leave old fashioned froufrou behind.

Anemones are eclectic enough to serve as both an appropriate floral choice to herald the birth of a baby as well as to honor the deceased at a funeral. Like a gentle breeze, leave it to the ethereal anemone to delight and enchant in honor of any special occasion.
