A Peek into the Studio -White Peonies, Blue Hydrangea and a Peony BouquetThis time of year is quite exciting at the studio! Wrapping up summer invitation designs while diving full force into our fall projects keeps things interesting for sure! Here are a few favorites shipped last week: Emma chose our lavishly painted peony complete with a shimmering chandelier and flowy ostrich feathers framing the look. Gold dots complimented the rich black backdrop. A simple sketch of her venue One Marylebone in London, gave her handmade wedding invitations a stately sense of personality. Jill’s summery Blue Hydrangea Wedding Invitations are simply pretty and purposefu...

Peonies?!In envisioning my wedding with my previous theme in mind, I thought I would carry a green bouquet. Now, with this new theme of "A Black & White Soiree" I am liking the idea of a bouquet of white peonies like the ones on the first row below: (all images via The Knot)My bridesmaids will be wearing black dresses and I am now toying with what color of bouquets I will have them carry. I am in love with the light pink and raspberry peony bouquets above in the second row, but my accent color will be plum, not pink.So it's back to the picture galleries for the bridesmaids' bouquets, but I think I'...

PeonyThe peony, to me is truly the definition of romance. So when it came time for the letter P in our flower meaning series, of course I had to pick the peony. It has a large full bud. As you can see from the picture above, it is beautiful closed up or fully open. Peonies are known to mean happy marriage. So it's the perfect choice for wedding flowers.Photo...

PeoniesBy Mary Oliver This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready to break my heart as the sun rises, as the sun strokes them with his old, buttery fingers and they open — pools of lace, white and pink — and all day the black ants climb over them, boring their deep and mysterious holes into the curls, craving the sweet sap, taking it away to their dark, underground cities — and all day under the shifty wind, as in a dance to the great wedding, the flowers bend their bright bodies, and tip their fragrance to the air, and rise, their red stems holding all that dampness and rec...

Peonies!I have to return a call to a florist tomorrow, so have been looking at pictures of flowers. I am pretty much decided that I want a bouquet of peonies...I am in love with how lush they always look. I am still sticking with the all white idea, maybe with a few green berries stuck in there (like one of the first ones I found). The bouquet above has both peonies and ranunculus, but I just want the peonies, like this one:...

Peony TimeI got an email from Melanie, our go-to florist, that she was able to get her hands on Coral peonies for an upcoming wedding we are working on. I was thrilled, not just for this one event, but because, of all seasons of the year, this is my absolute favorite: Peony Time. I am not one to go gaga over a flower, but the Peony IS my absolute favorite, and whether used sparingly or en-mass, it never gets old for me. In fact, we have a pink peony explosion in the works for June and I can hardly sleep I am so excited about it… Which, I recognize is a little sick. Fantasi...

PeoniesOne of my favorites. I adore the the fluffy texture and the size of the blooms.Each flower seems to float. Peonies are in season now.The peony is named after Paeon, a student of Asclepius, the Greek God of medicine and healing. The ancient story reads that Asclepius was jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the pe...
