Pink Peony Wedding

Peonies are one of the most beautiful and desirable wedding flowers but have a short flowering season usually from mid May to the end of July. Therefore if you want to have them for your wedding it is best to book it between this time when the price is still affordable. They are sometimes available out of season at a premium.

The peonies used for this wedding are called "Mrs Eucid Snow"  It has double petals in a soft pink with stripes of a darker pink in the centre.

This variety lasts a long time in water after cutting.

Also in the design are soft pink large headed carnations which with their delicately frilled petals co-ordinate perfectly with the peonies.

When on a budget this is a great way to supplement more costly blooms. 

The table arrangements were handtied bunches in fish bowls and old galvanised watering cans filled with flowers decorated the venue.
