Perfect Peonies

by Polkadot Bride

Peonies are a beautiful flower, one of my favourites!- their fluffiness and limited season makes them a popular choice for many brides and rightfully so. November in Australia brings peony season! (May to June for those in the USA!)

The peony is named after Paeon, a student of Asclepius who was the Greek god of medicine and healing. Used as one of the natural emblems of China, the peony is also the state flower of Indiana.

Peonies are gorgeous in their beautiful colours- soft pinks, creams, whites, deep rose pinks, reds and even white-to-pink shades.

If it isn’t Peony season but you still want the fluffy look- try David Austin roses, Cabbage roses, Juliet roses and you can even try tightly bound carnations!

    Oh, bestill my beating heart! Peonies are one of my very-favourites, too. I have a frilly-knickered, voluptuous bunch on our dining table right now and shall indulge in them for the whole of their way-too-brief season. I have only seen pink ones before. The cream/white ones in your pics are a revelation!

  4. My my! I love peonies! I wish I could of had them for my wedding but they were not in season. Beautiful post! Thanks for sharing!

  5. [...] the in-season flowers will have better pricing. Peonies are fairly reasonably priced in their season, which is during the spring and early summer months. [...]
