antique peony wedding bouquet because we find peonies to be among the most feminine, delicate, graceful, stylish and romantic flowers suitable for a vintage style wedding bouquet. From the same category of refined natural wedding flowers that look great when arranged in
old style wedding bouquets are ranunculus, dahlias, tulips, narcissuses, lilacs, anemones, amaryllis, stephanotis, orchids, magnolias, gardenias, freesias, lilies of the valley, lavender, calla lilies, chrysanthemums or gerbera daises.
Peonies are splendid flowers that look incredibly natural and discreet, flirty, playful and sincere, no matter the bouquet style or arrangement, although they look more beautiful and suitable incorporated in loose hand tied wedding bouquets or in chic pomander styles.
Peonies have ruffled soft petals with no distinguished centers that look like a ball. They look stunning in both fully bloomed and un-bloomed forms. The color palette that is available in peonies is another reason why we advise you to go with these types of flowers for your bohemian like wedding bouquet.
You can explore though the myriad of pink and purple shades or you can choose something more vibrant like red, bright yellow, orange or burgundy. We recommend you to stick to the pastel natural soft shades of peonies that are not too strident or too eye-catchy, dramatic or grating. For creating or recreating the antique look you can opt for cream peonies, beige peonies, blush, coral pink, ruby rose, pale pink, buttercup yellow, peach, lavender, violet or magenta peonies.
You can also add a few stems of darker peonies just for the contrast like magenta peonies, deep red peonies or plum peonies. In case you wish to arrange the antique peony wedding bouquet in a more voluminous, elaborated and lavish way, choose to incorporate other types of flowers that come close to the texture of peonies, like dahlias, ranunculus, anemones, amaryllis, tulips or gardenias.
