vintage floral from wedding style guide
Planning a fall wedding during the springtime is a tease. So many gorgeous flowers abound and yet they are all just slightly out of reach. My favorite among them is the peony. 
This feature, entitled Flora Aura, showcases the peony in all its splendor. Described as a vintage floral, I do love their effortless glamour. At top: A pink peony is the perfect compliment to a dashing Paul Smith gray suit. Above: A shower style bouquet made up of peonies and white lilacs matches the vintage charm of this Bianca babydoll strapless dress in a champagne shade with encrusted lace bodice from Luci di Bella. At right: Hanging glass ball by Balhannah by Design, $16. CB2 has a similar teardrop diamond hanging vase for $5.
Subtle, powdery color palette create a vintage mood while delicate china and crystal provide a sophisticated touch. I love the way light in invited to bounce around the centerpiece, to the water glasses and around the room.Vera Wang "Lace" Dinnerware Collection available at Macy's. Cutlery and wine glasses by Royal Doulton. Chubby white porcelain birds from One Rundle Trading Company are paired with place cards. Download the template from Wedding Style Guide. 
Pretty and petite, I would love this cake with just the pink peony on top. Delicate details give it a lacy vintage touch. Cake from Sweet Art Cake Design.

LOL...Peonies are my favorite too. Almost all my images I tore from magazines to show the florist were peonies and they were like "sorry, no dice!" I like ranunculouses (sp?) too but they are also not in season. I am doing blue hydrangea and red dhalias and some berries
Just something to consider:
Many brides do not realize that there is a large number of spring blooms that spring up again in the fall. Ask your florist to look into the second-coming of tulips, ranunculus, and sometimes even peonies...
NRL, I am thinking about blue hydrangea as well. Tell me more about your colors! Please!!
I am obsessed with peonies! This blog post made me very happy because all the peonies!
I was lucky that I was able to get some beautiful peonies for my wedding bouquet in early March. They really are most lovely flowers.
Those photos are gorgeous! I love that hanging glass piece with the one bloom.
Oh, this is lovely! So beautiful! That cake--oh my!
i really do love peonies, they are such a romantic and beautiful flower!
