Most of my time in the early months of a year is spent meeting with couples who are planning their nuptials for either later in the year or early next.

When I started thinking about ideas for this post, I thought about the questions that are most frequently asked of me and one of the most commonly asked questions is one of seasonality.

While not knowing one’s flowers might just be an occasional inconvenience when you’re wanting to place an order for a bouquet to be delivered, it’s a puzzling impairment when a bride-to-be is trying to figure out what kind of flowers she likes and then has no idea whether she can get what she has just clipped from the magazine.

Every wedding season brings with favourite blooms and one of them is the peony.

Loved for the large luscious blooms that come in varying shades of white, cream, pink, hot pink and reds. It is a favourite among those getting married.

However, its season of availability is very limited. While typically classified as a late spring, early summer flower, it’s dependent on the weather as it is grown outdoors and once the rains come, the season is done.

For those who are heart set of this flowers, imported options are available and the costs with imported rise as well.
