Amaranthus also known as amaranth, tassel flower, velvet flower or foxtail amaranth is a fantastic versatile bloom which can be used in everything from cascading bouquets and centerpieces to breathtaking tassels in ceremony arches and installations due to its pretty pink trailing ends. Trailing or hanging red amaranthus is a popular choice in arrangements since it brings an interesting texture to floral designs. Hanging amaranthus is a particularly popular ingredient in waterfall and cascading designs and the raspberry red color is special. If you want an unusual touch to your wedding bouquet, Amaranthus may be a nice solution to try.
What Weddings Will Welcome Amaranthus?
This unusual bloom is perfect for accenting fall and winter bouquets, it seems to be created for that. Though you may try to use it for summer weddings, too, if they feature a bold color palette. It can be rocked for boho, rustic, woodland and other more relaxed weddings, though if you style it right, it can work in more formal arrangements, too. Amaranthus comes in various colors, though the most popular is fuchsia or burgundy shade that is so good for accenting bold fall or winter bouquets.

What Blooms Does Amaranthus Go With?
Amaranthus is used as a filler or as an accent in a bouquet, and it works nice with many other blooms: roses, peonies, ranunculus, anemones, lilies, orchids, dahlias, mums, hydrangeas, carnations and many others. It looks especially good with large scale blooms accenting them or with lush floral arrangements, for example, not in small and tiny bouquets. As for other fillers, it can work with literally anything, from eucalyptus and fronds to various types of berries and small blooms.
When attempting a cascading bouquet, Amaranthus is easy to use because of it’s naturally long, hanging structure. It will automatically hang from the bouquet in a cascade. Add greenery with similar characteristics like ivy to add to the cascade. Try a trial run to make sure you can pull off the look you want.
