Peony Wedding Bouquets: Expert Tips

Still have some questions about peony wedding bouquets? We spoke to expert florist Nicola Eve at Flowers By Eve who told us everything you need to know:

Are Peonies Expensive?

“Peonies are often considered to be one of the most expensive wedding flowers, but if you buy them in season they are not any different to a speciality garden rose. 

“They have a very short season from May to June so make sure your wedding is in those months if you don’t want to spend the earth. They also work perfectly with roses and sweet peas if you don’t want to have just peonies in your bouquet.”

How Much Does a Peony Bouquet Cost?

“A bridal bouquet of peonies can range from £150 - £180 depending on size.”

Are Peonies Good for a Wedding Bouquet?

“They are wonderful for a bridal bouquet, so romantic and luxurious and come in a variety of colours -  from whites and delicate pastel pink, to vibrant pinks, deep reds and corals.

“Peonies are the quintessential wedding flowers. The most requested and loved flower for weddings. Peonies never go out of fashion and their big blousy, soft, multi petal look makes them the perfect for timeless elegant, romantic and beautiful weddings. They are definitely worth the investment on the day.”

What Does the Peony Flower Mean at a Wedding?

“In the language of flowers generally, peonies symbolise prosperity, good luck, love and honour so they are the perfect wedding flowers.”
