My knot checklist is telling me I should decide on floral scheme and choose my flowers. Most brides already KNOW what flowers they want at the beginning of their engagement. But mine have changed a few times. At first I had to have Calla lilies....
Then I remembered that my Grandparents use to have a peony garden on the side of their house...and when I started seeing pictures of peonies...I instantly fell in love. So, I have made my final decision. I want my bouquet to be a bundle of peonies. Aren't they just beautiful?! My personal favorite is the bottom row-middle.
I definitely want all white/cream peonies for my bouquet. But I think I want my girls to carry cream and blush peonies. They will be wearing this dress....(I can't show you my dress-Mikey reads my blog!)
But I have one problem...what will the boutonnieres be? Peonies are too big to be a boutonniere...Aren't they? So, then do I add some ranunculuses to our bouquets? (See above boutonniere is a ranunculus)
I really had my heart set on an ALL peony bouquet....and Mike doesn't really care about flowers. I need your help!

You can do peonies for the girls and then the R flowers (can't respell or even pronounce that word!) for the guys' boutonierre's(?)...I think they look similar and would go perfectly well together!!! What do you think?!
I think that as long as they compliment each other, you don't need to have the exact flower you use for his buttonhole in your bouquet.
I concur. There is no need for the flowers to be matchy matchy, just pick a flower for the guys that is in keeping with the same feel of a peony. I LOVE peonies! If I were a June bride I would be all. over. them.
There are lots of flowers with that same luscious look of peonies. You can use carnations or English roses to have that same full-ness, but in a smaller form. That way, you're not too matchy matchy, but just going with a cohesive theme!
