Same-Day Florist and Flower Delivery in Chaska, MN

Peony is a client favorite among our Chaska Minnesota florist team—perfect for weddings, rustic themes, and romantic gestures.

The peony has long been considered to be “The King of Flowers”. Noted for their lush and three dimensional ball of overlapping, multi layered petals, the artful beauty of the peony is exquisite. Cultivated in China over 2,000 years ago, the peony symbolizes richness and honor and prosperity and good fortune. The width, height and symmetry of the blooms gives them an air of elegance that artists have sought to capture through the ages.

In Western culture, the peony was brought to Europe during the Eighteenth century and was named by Zeus after the Greek god of healing, Paeon. During ancient and medieval times the flower was thought to have medicinal properties. The peony is a perennial plant of the genus Paeonia which blooms in spring and summer throughout the US and Europe. Today the peony is a favorite flower found in the gardens of many Chaska homes.

Peonies are a top choice flower for weddings and provide versatility for either a classic, vintage or garden style event. They come in a variety of colors including white, yellow, coral and burgundy. Multiple shades of pink, from blush to deep pink are the classic colors often chosen for spring and summer weddings.

Peonies make for some of the biggest, boldest and most enormous sized bouquets. For unique effect, pair them with clusters of wisteria or with giant king protea blossoms. For a winter wedding, burgundy peonies can be combined with blush roses, berries, eucalyptus and other greenery. A tropical inspired bouquet might contain orange and coral colored peonies alongside palm and palmetto leaves. And always, a simple bouquet can be made by tying a few peony blossoms together with ribbon. Their delicate scent is sweet and rosy. Peonies convey hopes of good fortune and a happy marriage and are designated to be the twelfth wedding anniversary flower.

For decorative touches, gorgeous table runners and arches can be made from floral groupings abundant with peonies and greenery . Pink peonies placed in classic blue and white vases make elegant centerpieces. A cluster of peonies can sit regally atop the wedding cake. A single blossom can make a boutonniere and be used to decorate each place setting.

Peonies can be given to people who’ve achieved a level of success, high school and college graduates, for example. White peonies offer an apology or regret. The sumptuous peony is a special gift for any occasion.
