Positive vibes: peonies make you happy!

Pastel power

Summer is perfect for creating cheerful hand-picked bouquets. You can combine peonies with lush, hand-picked flowers and swaying grasses. And try mixing strong pastel colours (like pink or orange) with a few bright colour accents. This is also the flower trend of the moment. Complete the picture with a lovely vintage vase and accessories that make you happy.

Tip! Peonies that are a perfect match for this positive flower trend:

• Salmon Chiffon: a distinctive appearance due to its grand salmon-pink flowers.
• Summerglow: the flowers of this fabulous peony change colour from soft peach to salmon and orange.
• The Fawn: a bright pink lush peony that blooms late in the season.
• Sarah Bernhardt: this pink full-petalled peony may be a true classic, but it’s still hip and happening.

Summer wedding

If you want positive vibes at your summer wedding, go for peonies. The symbolism – happiness, love and health – makes this the perfect flower for weddings. Peonies look beautiful in a summery field bouquet mixed with vibrant wildflowers. Combining strong pastels with one or more bright colour accent also works well in wedding bouquets. And what could be more irresistible than a handful of peonies tied together with romantic ribbon.

Tips & ideas for summer brides:

• Contact a good florist to find out which peonies will be available on your wedding date.
