Peonies

Peonies-probably the most requested wedding flower from brides in my shop. One of my favorite because it has a romantic/vintage look and smells great!  Typically peonies are in their prime between the end of May and beginning of July. During the other months of the year, they are really small.
 
I recently found a wholesaler that could supply me with AMAZING peonies during the majority of the year. This is great news for brides! The downside is they will cost you a pretty penny for them, but they are available.

Fun Peony Facts:
*There are more than 30 varieties
*Symbol of Happiness
*State flower for Indiana
*The traditional flower for the 12th marriage anniversary
*Held in high-esteem in China and mean Honor and Nobility
*Named after Paeon a Greek god of medicine and healing

Below are some peonies I bought a couple weeks ago. They were flown in from Israel. Aren't they beautiful? Have a lovely weekend!
