Peony-centric bouquets are an all-time favorite of brides and florists alike, thanks to the flower's lush shape and soft, romantic petals. The blooms are believed to bring good luck and prosperity to newlyweds, making them nuptial-worthy by nature. Plus, peonies are a timeless, classic flower, and they're available in various colors and styles—when used in a bouquet they're versatile enough for any style of celebration. Although these buds may only be in season for a relatively short period of time (spring brides, you're in luck!), your florist should be able to source them throughout the year.

When dreaming up your peony bouquet, use the flower to create a one-of-a-kind look that is customized to your celebration. We love how this bride asked the florists at Gather Design Company to match her bouquet to her wedding dress. The pros used muted pink-and-white peonies, roses, and cosmos to mimic the fluffy, feminine style of this newlywed's bodice, which featured a 3D floral appliqué. If your gown doesn't feature a floral motif, opt for a monochromatic clutch of white peonies to elevate your classic bridal ensemble. Or, think of ways the bud can intensify your glam. Try enhancing a bold lip color, like fuchsia, with a striking magenta peony arrangement.

Peonies can also define the shape of your arrangement. Thanks to their round look, these blooms can add curves to any bouquet—they can even anchor a cascading arrangement by creating a circular base. Ahead, we're sharing some of our favorite peony bouquets from real weddings. Browse through these picturesque bundles of blooms and start gathering inspiration for your own big-day spray.

Peonies may be beloved in shades of white, pink, and red, but they're availble in other hues, too. Yellow peonies add tons of texture and brightness to a bouquet, which is why Flowerwild took advantage of the statement blooms in this sunny mix.

Loose Peony Mix

To achieve a loose, "foraged" feel, Flower by Rebekah was careful to include just a few peonies in this natural bouquet. The mix, which also contained garden roses, hellebores, and a variety of different greenery, ultimately looked as if it was plucked straight from the garden because of this.

If yellow is your favorite color, take advantage of the beautiful hue available in the form of peonies and ask your florist to use them throughout your bouquet, as Garage by Ivy did here. Accented with delicate tulips, it was the ideal mix for a springtime celebration.
