Let us tell you a little something about peonies. There are more than five hundred kinds of peonies and the two major producers of them can be found right here in Asia. While these flowers are so pretty that you cannot imagine not having them at your own wedding, the appreciation for these beautiful blooms will come with a price. A high one too.
Because these flowers don’t bloom all around the year and they are relatively short-lived, having a productive season only in the spring. Even if you find someone who can make sure that these sweet flowers be present at your wedding day, even when they’re off season, the prices you’d have to pay to get them there would double – even triple sometimes.
