peony wedding flowers

During my first conversation with the florist, I explained that I wanted peonies as my wedding flowers.  Soft colors with texture, like the bouquet above.  I then learned that both peonies and aneomes were out of season in October....so I needed to go back to the drawing board.  This ended up being a blessing as I love what we ended up with!  (Lesson-check out garden roses if you love peonies).

Below is some peony inspiration if they're in season for you.

Peony season is of course Spring.  April, May, and June.

soft pink wedding flowers

How beautiful is this bouquet?  I love the soft texture and soft pink color.  I pinned this image on Pinterest so many times during wedding planning.  Gorgeous!

Thanks to Camellia Floral Design for this creation to Melanie Duerkopp for the photograph.

Wondering what the rest of the flowers looked like at this wedding?  See below.

hanging single flowers

How nice are these hanging single flowers?  So girly and romantic.    What a whimsical backdrop for a wedding.

This is another example of hanging florals, referenced in an earlier blog post.  I think this trend is here to stay!

holiday flowers

Hosting a holiday party?  Family coming over to open gifts?  Looking to add some cheer to your home in December?  Make (or buy) a holiday bouquet!  Several styles below.  Jump into dark red, go soft white neutral, or in the middle.  

I also always like simple greens in a vase!
