Fabulous Flower Friday {Ranunculus}

I'm starting to think about flowers for our wedding. We are leaning towards an orange and green flower scheme as a nod to the University of Miami where we met.  For the next few weeks I'll be featuring flowers we are considering that meet our requirements which are pretty basic- color and time of bloom. We'll figure out the pricing as we go as it will probably also impact our decision.
