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.

Vintage Vibes

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

A Creamsicle Bouquet

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.

Boho Charm

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.

An Evergreen Dream

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.

Alpine Accents

This bouquet is nothing but a springtime reverie. The fresh palette of blush pinks, tender yellows, ivory peonies, and bright greens was just the right complement to this bride’s mountainside wedding

Colorful Composition

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.

The Vibrant Vixen

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

Desert Decadence

You can’t get much more classic than a bouquet of red and white peonies and roses. This one in particular gives a fresh take with eucalyptus and a horizontal arrangement.

Preppy Pinks

An Herbaceous Medley

Our hearts are all aflutter over this feminine bouquet of eucalyptus and light peonies. The pale tones not only pair beautifully together but look incredible next to that show-stopping blush gown.

A Cascading Creation

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.

Nuptial Whites

We love how this bride is keeping with the tradition of all white, even down to her peony bouquet. The mix of monochromatic peonies, anemones, roses, and tiny buds keeps the arrangement from seeming too flat.

Monochromatic Majesty

A one-color palette has just as much impact as a multi-color one when the peonies are so vibrant. These supersized blooms need little more than some leafy stems to make a memorable entrance.

Add a Pop

A single splash of crimson adds a deep note in a sunshiny bouquet. The depth offers a nice sense of grounding to the otherwise bright composition, carrying it out of airy springtime celebrations to balmy midsummer and early fall fêtes.

Pristine Perfection

The Bold and the Beautiful

The bigger the better, right? Especially when the blooms come in such vivacious colors of megawatt fuchsia, creamy corals, soft chiffon yellows, and barely-there mauves. We're getting some major retro-glam vibes here.

An Airy Arrangement

Swoon. This gorgeous white and green bouquet is all kinds of chic. We love how the long stems of greenery are left to run wild giving the arrangement an untamed aesthetic.

Home Grown

Peonies, roses, and carnations combine for a fresh-from-the-garden-style bouquet. Clean, springtime hues of coral, blush, peach, and lilac get some dimension with brooding puffs of near-black blooms.

Big and Bold
