One of the most requested flowers for weddings is the beautiful and romantic peony. From white through shades of pink and all the way to stunning coral and burgundy these blooms really add a romantic feel to your wedding day! But before you fall in love let’s talk about their season because this could be a deal breaker.
Peony alternatives for your wedding
Every other bride I work with is in love with peonies and wants them everywhere! Unfortunately they aren’t always in season and can be expensive to import. Today I’ve asked Sharon from Coquette Studios to talk about some beautiful peony alternatives for your wedding day. Read on for some floral inspiration!

Peony Season:!
Peonies are usually available from late April through to the beginning of July. Now of course this depends on how early spring starts and when the heat of summer kicks in. The time they are at their peak and consistently available is mid May – end of June. If you’re getting married at this time you can almost guarantee peonies for your wedding day!
The wonderful thing about the floral industry is imports from other countries. This means if you’re a peony lover planning a late fall/early winter wedding you’re in luck as they come back on the market from mid November until about Christmas.!
Garden Roses
In my opinion garden roses are the next best thing to a peony. They have that same lush, romantic look and soft beautiful fragrance. Even better, these beauties are available all year long!
There are two different types of garden roses; David Austin are a favorite of many with popular varieties such as Patience, Juliette, Charity and one of my favorites Beatrice! In my opinion David Austin roses really are the closest rose to the peony.
Thanks for attention!
