About Parrot Tulips(via the knot): Also known as the Rembrandt or parakeet tulip, this showy bloom is noted for its ruffled, striped petals in intense colors. Some varieties feature fringe-tipped petals for added drama. Although beautiful, their full, heavy heads tend to sag and droop and may cause stems to curve, which make them somewhat unpredictable when used in arrangements.

I love parrot tulips in bunches. They are so frilly and in your face. Paired with the cream silk table runner and wooden utensils, I can see this wedding would be classy with a hot after taste.
