I have to admit I am not a huge fan of the color pink.  Even as a young girl I was never really drawn to it.  However, all this dislike immediately goes out the window when it comes to peonies!  I can't get enough of pink and white peony flowers.  I swear they melt my heart.  :)

They bloom in the spring and are just so delicious! Peonies are so romantic; I love seeing them used in wedding decor.  Although they can be more on the expensive side for bouquets and centerpieces there are still many ways you can incorporate them into your wedding whether you are on a limited budget or not. Here are a few ideas and inspiration:

You can incorporate them into your wedding invitation:

Create your own paper peonies!

Order a small amount and put them in mason jars

Or have a peony bouquet!

Monica and I are currently working with a client whose wedding reception is this Spring. The groom’s aunt owns a lavender farm outside of Seattle, Washington and we have been playing with various design ideas and ways in which we can incorporate lavender into their reception.  These images have been inspiring us.  I love the idea of potted lavender plants but then I also love the centerpiece that mixes lavender with mint!  It just sounds and looks so delicious!  What do you think?

Since spring is fast approaching it got me thinking about all the gorgeous flowers that bloom during these months and I have to admit ranunculus flowers might be some of my favorites. I am completely in love with them; I love their antique and delicate feel.  They would also be a great eco-friendly flower for you brides planning a spring wedding since they bloom February through May.

And they come in a variety of colors
