Peonies

SO... now that I am rethinking my bridesmaid dresses, I was thinking of breaking up the red white and blue with some pink flowers... but are peonies not available in July???? I am so sad!!!!!!!!!!

They aren't????
My peonies are starting to grow in my backyard. I just saw the branches start to bloom. They won't be out until after July??? I can't imagine that's right.

A woman I worked with last year gave me some peonies from her garden and it had to be before the end of the school year.

Or maybe they bloom and then are gone before July?? Is that it?

Re: Peonies

Right... they are gone by July... so I can't have them at the wedding

They cant handle heat-the season for peonies is the end of April thru sometimes the beginning of June. Ask your florist-MAYBE they can get them for you

I 100% agree! I wanted to do light pink to break up the darkness of the navy/cranberry

Re: Peonies

I know!!! I want peonies too but I have the same problem as you. My wedding is in July. My FH said to see if they could freeze them until the wedding, but I have never heard of that and I dont know if my florist (or any) would do that. Has anyone ever heard of this?

peonies are not available in july, or i think you have to have them shipped in and it's really expensive. i will say, when you posted pics of different dress combinations with your colors, it didn't scream american flag to me. i think it's because the red and blue you're using are so deep.

pegalega is right about peony season: april through early june.

That's exactly what I thought - some people in my family have said otherwise - my mom says just do what you want... I might go for light pink roses then.... I just loved the look of peonies

Thay are not available but you can ask your florist if they can get them it may be a little extra. Another thing you can do is ask your florist if they can get a real good quality silk peony. Another flower that looks like a peony is ranuculas. They look like a mini verison of peonies. Good Luck.
I am having peonies in bouquet and they are not available in April but my florist is going to try to get the white one if not we are going to use a silk peony.
