Those are gorgeous! I just have to figure out what is best for July. My fallback flowers are garden roses in case peonies are not good for July.

Re: Peonies
hope this helps too
Summer Wedding Flowers Summer is the best time in the flower market. All kinds of colorful flowers are available including hearty blooms from the lily, orchid, daisy, and dahlia families that burst onto the scene with warmth and grace. Choose summer wedding flowers that are white, full of color, airy, or solid. No matter which you choose, each of these summer flowers is bursting with decorating potential.
Calla Lilies These funnel-shaped, elegant flowers aren't really a flower at all, but a large horn-shaped extension of the stem, called a scathe, which ranges from 6' to 9' in length. Most available from March through June, they come in a small variety of colors that range from pure white to orange to dark magenta. Currently very popular flowers for wedding bouquets, also use this dramatic flower as the focal point of centerpieces, or singly for bridesmaids to carry.
Dendrobium Orchids These delicate, six-petaled beauties are tropical flowers of summer that are least expensive during the months from April to August. Available in a variety of colors from simple to truly exotic, dendrobiums make exquisite additions to your hair, corsages and boutonnieres. In addition, you can sprinkle over tables, down the aisle, or add to centerpieces for a heavenly floral arrangement.
Daisy Blooming from May to July, these classic wedding flowers represent hope, purity, and innocence. Whether mixed with greens in a bridal bouquet, placed in bud vases for airy centerpieces, or hand-tied in mini bouquets for the bridesmaids, add the joy of daisies to your summer wedding celebration.
Chrysanthemum Daisy's spiny-bloomed cousin is also most readily available during the long, hot months of summer. This airy flower with narrow petals comes in a much wider range of color than the classic daisy, and looks beautiful in bouquets, centerpieces, and decorations.
Baby's Breath Each stem is bursting with tiny white blossoms on this summertime flower used as a filler for bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, and boutonnieres. Although most florists carry it the whole year through, if you're thinking of doing your own flowers or want to choose from a local garden, baby's breath is in full bloom in the garden from May - August

I know i love that bok, definitely keeping that as an option...Hmmm there has to be info online for when peonies are in season, but i would think summer...I know definitely not now bc when i went to the wholesale flower district and i saw peonies and asked how much, it was $5 for one since they are not in season at at the moment, now keep in mind this was a wholesale flower shop and roses were $17 for two dozen, so on the regular market can be more...But i do know that they will do bok's at wholesale flower shops so you should keep that in mind, you can get it for cheaper

Re: Peonies
I am also looking some alternatives that are similiar so that if peonies are not in season at that time and I want them for my bouquet, I can get something like them for my centerpieces. I have found some flowers I like that look like them. I am trying to stay away from regular roses as I would like a bigger bud that is softer looking and has the look of ruffled edges.

Re: Peonies
The picture of the first bouquet with the calalillies has the other type of roses in it. I am having trouble finding pics of them online because I do not know the exact name. I read that they are english or garden roses. I wonder what their real name is.

take the pic to a florist if you are booked already if not then when you do book, i am sure they will help you even more with finding a better alternative
2 florists have said no peonies in July or August, I'm getting married in August and she said March, April , May for peonies...It stinks b/c I love them..
