Blossoming onto the wedding scene are color blocked flower combinations and let me tell you, they are luscious and decadent. Color blocking is when one color is chosen and different kinds of flowers are picked to match the specific palette. For example, a bride can match up peonies, roses, hyacinths and tulips to complete her color blocked pink bouquet.

This method is gaining popularity for its simplicity and beauty. Brides are being drawn to color blocking because it brings an elegant yet modern feel to the big day. And might I add the combinations that brides/florists are picking are absolutely stunning.

The peony is showy in its lush and full-headed structure, sweet perfume, and bright colors. Despite these traits, the flower became a symbol of bashfulness. Cultivated in Asia for more than a thousand years and developed further by the French, the peony is a cherished wedding flower. A relative of the ranunculus and the anemone, the peony is available in two main types: the herbaceous and the tree peony (the latter flowers do not last as long when cut).
