With peak peony season beginning in early spring and extending through late June, there's no shortage of gorgeous wedding flowers for your bridal bouquet. Despite the relatively small window of budget-friendly growing time, brides clamor for this quintessential wedding flower all year-round. And can you really blame them? With the fluffy blooms available in white, cream, yellow, and varying shades of pink and red, peonies are the perfect addition to all bridal bouquets.
Whether you're hosting a ballroom bash, an outdoor rustic celebration, or a city-chic affair, peonies complement every type of wedding. For a classic style, pair these beauties with similar traditional flowers, such as roses, and for something more modern, add unexpected blooms like wildflowers or king protea. Also, remember that pretty peony bouquets can be created to accommodate any budget: You can splurge on an arrangement that's strictly peonies, and at the same time, you can save big by using the popular blossom as an accent flower within an arrangement filled with more affordable blooms.
To make peonies more budget-friendly, carry a single posy down the aisle rather than a traditional bouquet. Since they are so voluminous, fewer stems still make a serious impact.
We rounded up 40 stunning peony bouquets, from all-white blooms to colorful coral, pink, red, and plum hues—with a few colors in between—for brides of every style.
Pretty Pastels

Consider this the pastel bouquet of dreams. Roses in the most tender eggshell shade and soft pink peonies create a delicate palette for wispy greenery. We're obsessed with the depth created by the pops of deep purple and textured buds.
Feminine Frills

No tiny buds and barely-there blooms here. This bouquet is overflowing with megawatt florals and all the soft, frilly textures you could ever want. Classic pink peonies and sorbet-colored roses are always a romantic, springtime choice.
Summer Brights

Colorful and bright, peonies make the perfect combination for a summertime bouquet—especially this yellow-centered variety that imparts all the sunny warmth of the season. Peach-toned dahlias, white anemones, and sprigs of lavender finish off the look.

We’re totally getting vintage vibes from the color palette here. Coral and apricot-hued peonies are paired with ivory blossoms and powdery eucalyptus branches. Such a heated color scheme was practically custom made for a late summer or early fall celebration.
A Moody Mélange

We’re all about these moody purple and burgundy hues creating a sultry vibe. Pastel pink roses add a hint of softness to the otherwise deep bouquet—a stunning touch to a winter wedding or spring/summer fête with a renaissance palette.
A Perfect Match

White and orange create an unexpected color combination—one we love for a rustic take on an autumn wedding. Dusty mauve tones and crimson accents balance out the brightness to create this divine harmony of florals.

These peonies get a bohemian spin paired with wildflowers and cascading ferns. We love how the coral and fuchsia colors lean toward the more seductive and warm rather than bright and overly cheerful—a perfect palette for the touches of yellow and purple. This arrangement is nothing short of a midsummer night's dream.
Pinks Galore

This peony bouquet is oh-so pretty in pink. The variety of shades from barely-there pastels to baby blushes to dusty, deeper shades adds dimension to the mix without looking overly monochromatic.
Sorbet Splendor

White and peach peonies are pure romance while a few sprigs of green provide a welcomed anchor to the airy arrangement. This sorbet-colored mix just reminds us of decadent, frozen deserts on the riviera in summer. Sigh.

Minimal blooms and maximal greens create an unexpected look we can’t get enough of. We’re especially loving the sporadic pops of orange against the statement white peonies.

This stunning beauty of a bouquet was crafted by the bride herself for her intimate wedding in Yosemite. We love how she combined peonies with various other flowers and imparted tons of different shapes and textures into the mix.

This vibrant peony bouquet is definitely no wallflower with sultry pops of warm pinks, bright oranges, powdery peaches, and moody burgundies. Plus, the multicolored trail of ribbons reminds us of a playful maypole celebrating the beginning of summer—and a marriage, in this case!
Tying ribbons to the base of a bouquet not only looks darling, but it's also a great way to add texture, color, movement, and a subtle nod to the wedding theme or style.
A Blushing Bouquet

Pair your peonies with king protea blooms for a desert-inspired touch. Heated hues of corals, oranges, pinks, and marigolds beautifully mirror the dry serenity and rising temperatures of the locale.

This seriously stunning arrangement is nothing short of a museum-worthy masterpiece. The bouquet is absolutely breathtaking thanks to its waterfall effect of greenery creating a base for the larger-than-life peonies and king proteas. We'd consider this the lovechild of Monet's impressionist florals and Dalí's melted surrealism.

"Krinkled" white peonies are known for their snow-colored petals and sunny centers. They look absolutely divine nestled atop a massive bed of eucalyptus.
