We’re big fans of creating an easy wow, and the ranunculus is especially good at achieving just that. It’s part of the buttercup family and its variety of bright colours and layer upon layer of paper-thin petals make it an instant showstopper and one you can dress up or dress down, according to your theme. What’s more the ranunculus symbolises mutual love and attraction.
