Thinking of going for peonies? You can treat this flower as a total wedding theme. Flowers aren’t just for the bouquet anymore! Try these 6 ideas for incorporating peonies into your wedding day.
- Mix them into your bouquet. A full peony bouquet is nice for those who like a bold choice. If you want to be a bit more subtle (or ecclectic), mix the peonies with another flower, like hydrangeas.
- Put them in your bridesmaids’ hair. Sure, they could have their own bouquets, but why not do something different? Have the wedding hair stylist add a peony into each lady’s updo. Pretty!
- Use them in the boutonnieres. Just because the groomsmen are men doesn’t mean they wouldn’t look dapper with a purple peony in their lapels.
- Give them to the flower girl. Peonies are decked out with pretty petals. The flower girls can spread them around the aisle before you make your big appearance.
- Use them in the centerpieces. There are tons of ways to incorporate flowers into a wedding reception table centerpiece. Because peony blooms are so full, they’d do well floating in water inside a crystal bowl.
- Utilize them with the place cards. A peony bloom could hold up a small card at everyone’s place on the reception tables. Because there’s one at every place, your guests can bring them home as a party favor.
