I chose the peony as the first featured flower because it is probably one of the most favored and least available flowers. Peonies are available from late spring to early summer, and can sometimes be imported in the fall or winter. What this means ladies is if you've always wanted a wedding overflowing with lush beautiful fragrant peonies, get married in May or June! Peonies are relatively expensive ($$$), but their full fluffy blooms can take up a good amount of space once fully opened, so less stems may be needed for your centerpiece or bouquet. They come in a variety of colors, including white, cream, peach, pink, and my personal favorite, blush. If you are not getting married in May or June but still want the look of soft romantic fluffy flowers, some great substitutes are garden roses, roses, ranunculus, hydrangea, and dahlias.
