Wedding Flowers - Peonies

Wedding Flowers - Peonies

The peony is steadily making its way as one of the most popular wedding flowers this year.  The peony is a flower plant that is native to Asia, Southern Europe and Western North America.  Some of the plants can resemble trees and grow up to ten feet tall.

Jo Malone has create a scent that can be worn before, during and after your ceremony.  The fragrance also comes in a body and hand wash, body creme and a candle with a 45 hour burn time. 

There is a 30Ml fragrance size for your bridesmaids and other attendants if you decide you'd like them to have a whiff of your wedding flowers for days to come. 

A truly luxurious fragrance with layers of peonies, rose and honey accents. The base notes of amberwood and white musk will lean towards a clean soft fragrance.

Crowns

I've always been a fan of flower crowns, so I'm really excited to see them becoming such a popular wedding trend. 

If you are the DIY type, I suggest you get yourself down to Michael's and do a couple of test runs, keep in mind however, if you plan to use real flowers the day of your ceremony, you will want to practice with live flowers at some point.  They will be more gentle you don't want the crown falling apart at some point during the wedding activities. 

Cocoroas recently posted 15 different tutorials if you decide the DIY route is for you. 

Here's is my favorite.

Fawn DIY Floral Crown 

If you prefer to have someone else create the crown for you, there are many vendors available.  Some of my favorites are found on Etsy.  Skill levels and prices can vary.

I get excited when the people at Cult Gaia post new pictures to their Instagram page. Their items make me want to wear a flower crown everyday.  Their Lana crown, in purple, is on my list to things to figure into my spring and summer wardrobe. 

Don't forget to measure your head size before you get started.
