I heart peonies

I love peonies. I really do. Even when they're impossible to import in the dead heat of the summer, I still love them. This was a wedding I designed for at the Deer Valley resort and when this beautiful bride came to me with a request of hot pink peonies. In July. I nodded and smiled. Who doesn't love hot pink peonies? While I dutifully jotted down notes for the design direction my brain was screaming at me " WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GET PEONIES IN JULY??" Everyone was skeptical. I was skeptical. The bride was anxious. After extensive sourcing and a lot of badgering, my gorgeous peonies arrived right on time and behaved throughout the entire evening.
