The complete budget guide to using peonies in the wedding

Peonies are one of the most beautiful and fascinating wedding flowers and it is their sweet fragrance and lush bright colors that have helped them acquire the status of a cherished option for the décor and floral arrangements. The petals which represent beauty, bashfulness, and welcome are mainly available in two varieties; the herbaceous and the tree peonies. The flowers that were originally from Asia were later developed by French to enjoy fame as one of the most popular celebratory and wedding accents in the world.

The flowers only bloom in spring and the scentless or imported varieties are available in winter and autumn for use. The most popular shades of these blossoms include; white, cream, peach, pink and burgundy. They are also considered a symbol of happy life and marriage in popular circles and therefore are perfect to go with centerpieces, bridal bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and cake décor when you decide to start a new journey with your partner.

The best time to buy:

The best time to buy peonies is from May to July. Although they are essentially spring blossoms, it does not really mean that they don’t look good or need to be incorporated in the weddings of the fall and winter. The flowers are an all-season beauty and look amazing for all sorts of themes, décor, color schemes, seasons, venues and floral arrangements.

Are they expensive?

It really depends on the season that you’re getting married in and also how much peony flowers are you looking to invest in the bouquet and the rest of the wedding décor. When not in season, they can be a touch expensive than various other celebrated petals and that too especially if you insist on a full bouquet of peonies for the wedding rather than a few stems to work with. But even then, they are totally worth it, aren’t they?

The closing comments:

Whether they are going to be expensive for your wedding? Well, it is a personal question and it depends on you. If you’re tight on budget and still want peonies (when they’re not in season, then your best bet is to use just a few of them (2-3) in bouquets and few more (3-5) in centerpieces only and not in the other wedding décor. You can use other flowers like ranunculus and garden roses to make the whole look and arrangement work out. The peony flowers are intensely versatile and full of different kinds of shades and this means that they can be easily interspersed with various foliage like; eucalyptus, lemon and monstera leaves for more cost-efficient options and looks.
