DIY Tips for Working with Poppies

While poppies are undeniably gorgeous, they require a little TLC to look their best. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back with easy, practical tips to make your arrangements stunning.

1. Timing Matters

Poppies arrive with their blooms closed, resembling fuzzy pods. To ensure they open beautifully for your event, plan ahead. We recommend scheduling their delivery four days before your event.

2. Encourage Blooming

Poppies need a little help shedding their outer "shell" (called sepals) to reveal their colorful petals. Gently crack the shells or remove them by hand to speed up the blooming process. If you’re unsure how to do this, check out our handy tutorial here.

3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Poppies are thirsty travelers! Once they arrive, give them a quick refresh:

• Unpack them carefully and remove any straps or rubber bands.

• Trim the stems at an angle under running water.

• Place them in clean containers with fresh, cold water, ideally with a floral preservative.

• Rest them in a cool, shaded spot to hydrate and perk up. This may take up to 12 hours.

4. Mix and Match

Poppies are the perfect statement flower, but they also play well with others. Combine them with delicate fillers like Wax Flowers or Queen Anne’s Lace for a soft look, or add greenery like Eucalyptus for fresh texture.

5. Keep It Loose

For that carefree, wildflower-inspired vibe, avoid overly structured designs. Instead, arrange your poppies loosely, allowing their natural curves to shine.

Spring Bouquet Inspiration with the Assorted Poppy Pack

Not sure where to begin? Here are a few design ideas to spark your creativity:

1. The Bright and Bold Bridal Bouquet

Combine the poppies’ coral and orange tones with yellow Butterfly Ranunculus and bright green Maiden Hair Fern for a bold, joyful bouquet. Wrap the stems in a soft linen ribbon for a rustic finish.

2. Cheerful Centerpieces

Group poppies into bud vases or line them along a table in a mix of whimsical containers, including vintage bottles or glass cubes. Their vibrant colors pop against neutral table settings.

3. Modern Minimalism

Keep things chic by pairing white poppies with soft peach Garden Roses and touches of Fresh Pennycress Greens. Arrange them in tall, delicate vases for a clean and modern aesthetic.

4. Poppy Boutonnieres

Craft petite poppy boutonnieres for the groomsmen. Use a single bloom paired with sprigs of Snow on the Mountain and secure with twine or ribbon for a fresh, tailored look.

5. Poppies with Citrus Perfect Summer Pairing

Brighten up your arrangements by pairing vibrant poppies with fresh citrus elements! Use slices of oranges, lemons, or limes as accents, either tucked into clear vases or displayed around the base of your floral centerpiece. The sunny hues of the citrus complement the poppies’ bold colors beautifully, creating a lively and cheerful display. This combination works especially well for outdoor gatherings or summer-inspired table settings, adding both visual interest and a subtle, refreshing aroma.

Add Sunshine to Your Event with Ease

A few poppies can completely change the vibe of an arrangement, adding natural beauty and effortless cheer. When treated with care and creativity, their bold colors and delicate blooms create striking spring designs that will wow your guests.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, hosting an event, or simply adding a seasonal touch to your space, the Assorted Poppy Pack is your go-to for playful, bold, and vibrant arrangements.
