Like puffy clouds of perfumed tissue, Peonies are one of the prettiest flowers, especially for brides. Members of the Rose family, their varieties are vast and their charm and elegance abundant. Try a few tied together for a romantic bouquet or a display of luxury in mass form. However you like them, nothing can compare to the pure beauty of these blooms.

The decadence of this rare flower can be intricately weaved into the wedding theme in ways other than your precious bouquet. Try setting the tone with a motif on your invitations in Peony pink such as these beauties from Minted. Decorate your reception with billowing centrepieces and displays. Top the cake with fresh or sugared buds and blooms, almost too pretty to eat. Even your wedding scent can be freshly perfumed of this delicious flower… Try the L’Occitane Pivoine Flora Eau de Parfum. A soft and romantic elixir filled with notes of Peony, Magnolia and Bergamot with a sweet vanilla base. All it takes is a few luscious blooms pinned to your soft up-style or even to your shoes to take your dream wedding look to one from the heavens.

Regardless of your style, from simple and chic to dramatic and sophisticated. Plonk a peony in a vase or pop one behind your ear and you’re sure to welcome pivoine perfection into your wedding day. ♥
