This morning my day was made as I entered the flower shop and was greeted by bright coral peonies! Every year I look forward to May when these beauties are blooming in our gardens and most brides use them in their bouquets and centerpieces.
To me as a wedding planner, peonies are the ultimate romantic, soft flower for weddings and just plain gorgeous! The coral ones are my favorite; they start off bright and happy and with time turn a pale yellow. Just amazing!

I am asked all the time what my favorite ceremony site is, and I honestly say that I like them all best at different times, depending on what the gardens are doing. Our gardens are fabulous all the time, but each week one of them seems to have its special moment right then. Every week I find myself thinking "What a lucky bride to have THIS site for her wedding"... we are so fortunate to have such a spectacular setting for our weddings throughout the year. This week, the Crabapples are... Full Post >
