What we love about peonies is that they don't need other flowers to make for a pretty centerpiece or bouquet. Sometimes you don't even need more than one bloom to fill a vase.

Pairing peonies with other flowers of similar shape is super easy and we know that many brides love this full look. Roses are a great match, english varieties and garden roses especially, other favorites to match are dahlias and ranunculus.

These peonies with their yellow center are great in a colorful, eclectic bouquet of poppies, astilbe, craspedia, garden roses, succulents, dusty miller and adiantum greens. (see much more here)

Sweet peas, although totally different with their delicate, irregular shape are lovely paired with peonies.

One very important thing to tell your florist or to remember yourself (if you want to diy your wedding flowers) is how open you want the peonies to be. Usually you buy them quite closed, the blooms in the shape of a little ball. How quickly they open depends on where you keep them; the more sun/natural light they get and the warmer water they're in, the quicker they'll open. If you're going for a DIY wedding bouquet, buy a few test flowers 2 weeks before the wedding and see how long it takes for them to be in the for you perfect shape. If you're ordering them from a florist, show some example pictures. Obviously the more open the bloom, the bigger and fuller the result will be, hence if you want a large bouquet, the same size would need more closed peonies than open ones.

With Jenni's bouquet on the right here we went for a mix of half opened and fully opened fluffy peonies in blush and soft pink.
The blooms on the right are still quite closed (source)

These white peony bouquets might be very similar in size, yet the left one with its very open peonies (source) consists of roughly half the amount of blooms as the right one (source).
We'll be back with more of our favorite flowers tomorrow! In the meantime feel free to share your favorites in the comment section. We'd love to hear from you.
Peonies are my favorites. They are so elegant and beautiful.
