Breathtaking Peony Wedding Bouquets

Executive Summary about Peony Meaning by Bridget Mora

Is there anything more spectacular in the spring than the sight of lush peonies? Long a favorite of spring brides, peonies make for the most amazing bouquets. 

The most classic peony wedding bouquet is a large round nosegay comprised of pale pink peonies with lush pink garden roses. All the blossoms are so round and full that it is hard to tell where one ends and the next begins, and the effect is absolutely stunning. 

For the ultimate preppy bride, the perfect bridal bouquet would be pink peonies paired with green hydrangeas. If you want to add a third blossom to the bouquet, mix in some of those darling pink and green ranunculus flowers. 

Peonies are also available in an enchanting deep pink hue. A bouquet comprised entirely of the deep pink peonies would be fabulous, or consider combining the lighter pink peonies with the deeply colored ones for a gorgeous multi-tonal arrangement. 

We so often think of peonies as a pink flower, but they also come in a lovely white version. A lush bouquet of white peonies is a gorgeous alternative to the more expected white rose bouquet.
