the only problem with peonies is that they are in bloom only a very short period of time about 2 months. More around end of april, may and sometimes until beginning of June. They are not in bloom in March.

SOme can still get them but peonies are expensive as it is and whenever you buy them when they are not in season they are even more money than usual. Many flowers when they are not in season will cost alot more. I know when i went to the wholesale district in manhattan in February, they had peonies but just for 1 it was expensive and that was the wholesale district which sells flowers for alot less. But definitely ask florists about this and see what they say and if they can get them and how much. I had peonies but wedding was in May which is the easiest time to get them so i can tell you the price of a bok for peonies when its in season to try and compare to what it might cost when its not in season.

Here is what they say about peonies and when they are in bloom. So not even for april I guess.

The bloom season for peonies ranges over a period of 4-5 weeks. Early blooming varieties start in late May, mid-season varieties in early June and late season peonies bloom in the last part of June.

That is GORGEOUS!!!! love it.

Oh ok yeah i remember another bride who asked about peonies and funny enough her wedding was in March and i know burtons wont get flowers that are out of season since they charge the same for all flowers and getting out of season flowers costs more.

This is beautiful, and if you want it for cp's i think the orchids are a great choice

Yeah and I love it all white, but I want some color in my centerpieces, so I may throw some fushia in there too. My colors are navy and bright pink or fuschia so thats why i figured even if I did the other centerpiece, I could do fuschia & white with hydrangeas, callas, & orchids, and do the floating orchids in the vase

you could definitely throw some fuschia in there or do the fuschia as the floating orchid inside the vase. Theres definitely quite a few options you have.
