If you are getting married in May ... Peonies are your wedding flower.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not the law that you have them but they really are very pretty in a wedding bouquet.

The first ever wedding I did I had to make a peony wedding bouquet. I bought the peonies early to open up on time and then panic bought another lot because the first lot looked liked they would open too quickly and then I worried the second lot wouldn’t open on time. It all worked out in the end and the peonies opened perfectly.

20 years later I’m heading in to another peony season and still praying to the peony gods that my peonies open perfectly. They always do on way or another, as all these photos prove.
