"Elegant Red Blooms: What You Need to Know About Amaranthus for Sophisticated Floral Arrangements"

Do you know amaranthus?

There are many flowers that you've seen but don't know the name of.

The flower [amaranthus] that we are introducing this time is one of them.

If you have seen a lot of photos of wedding bouquets and venue decorations, you might have come across a long, red flower with a unique shape.

This is [amaranthus].

Amaranthus, which blooms in a drooping manner, is perfect for bouquets and arrangements with a sophisticated expression.

It adds individuality to the silhouette, doesn't it?

The color of this amaranthus is a calm wine red.

When paired with a wild green bouquet, it brings out elegance and sophistication.

A plant that was cultivated as a grain

Amaranthus, which blooms with a unique flower, has primarily been cultivated as a grain rather than an ornamental plant.

In the ancient South American Inca Empire, it was said to be an important grain comparable to corn and beans.

It was introduced to Japan during the Edo period, but since it was brought as an ornamental plant, a culture of eating amaranthus did not develop.

However, it is now distributed as a superfood because it is rich in minerals and protein. ♡

What is the language of flowers for amaranthus?

When it comes to adding flowers to a wedding bouquet, the language of flowers is a point of interest.

The language of flowers for amaranthus is "persevering spirit" and "immortality."

As summer comes to an end, amaranthus leaves turn yellow or red. The fact that this color does not easily fade is said to be the origin of its language of flowers.

Originally, the name amaranthus itself comes from the Greek word Αμάρανθος (amarantos), meaning "not to wither."

Both a persevering spirit and everlasting love are essential for married life.

Isn’t it a fitting language of flowers for bouquets and decorations?

There is also white amaranthus

While wine red amaranthus is often used, there is also white amaranthus.

The white amaranthus adds a subtle touch of individuality to a natural bouquet.

If you are planning to order a classic bouquet in white and green, but want to add an accent...

If that’s the case, please request the addition of white amaranthus! ♡

White amaranthus also pairs well with the trendy rustic wedding style.

When combined with pampas grass, feather grass, or palm flowers, it instantly creates a rustic atmosphere.

Gathering unique silhouette materials increases the overall stylishness.

Great as dried flowers too

Amaranthus flowers are often used in dried flower bouquets.

When dried, they lose their drooping silhouette and instead take on a straight, upright silhouette.

This adds elegance to an old-dried chic bouquet.

The combination of amaranthus and large flowers is wonderful.

While amaranthus may not easily serve as the main flower material, it makes its presence felt by being used in abundance.

This bouquet is made using only large lilies and amaranthus.

It has a powerful presence that is unforgettable once seen.

It seems to suit a traditional Japanese wedding attire too.
