Hot Pink Peony Wedding Inspiration and Peony Invitation Ideas

I am in love with the pops of pink in today's featured bridal shoot from Maribel of Eight Tree Street {a member of my vendor guide} and Allison of Allison Hopperstad Photography. Along with this beautiful shoot, I have some great peony wedding invitations to share with you at the end of this post. But, first Maribel shares a bit behind her designs/ideas for this shoot . . .

We love the idea of combining the rustic images of this beautiful working farm with the romance of flowers. For the florals in this Romantic farm styled shoot, we used peonies, the perfect compliment for a spring wedding, and we love these gorgeous hot pink ones. To style the bride with a sweet touch, we included a headpiece of peonies, Faith roses and ferns with small accents of greenery. Model Giovanna was the epitome of spring beauty in her dreamy gown with beaded bodice. With such flowy lines and silhouette, the bouquet we created was one of the things we love . . . a bouquet of texture and pops of color with white and pink peonies, ranunculus and roses wrapped in burlap ribbon. Something sweet and delicate, but still rustic and romantic!

If you are a DIY bride, you can see that a little goes a long way, just a few peony blooms with other rich textures and you have a gorgeous bouquet for your wedding day.

Real Wedding : Romantic and Shabby Chic with Peonies

Today's gorgeous shabby chic Real Wedding comes to us from Ariel Yve Design in California and was photographed by Raya Photography. The wedding took place at the Rockwood Women's Club with the main colors being ivory, pale pink and grey with bits of green. The bride's gown was designed by Melissa Sweet. And, wait until you see the chandeliers hanging from the trees . . . so romantic.

I LOVE this ring shot! And, it's on a Ring Bearer Bowl™ from Paloma's Nest.

Aren't the bridemaids peony bouquets gorgeous? The perfect shabby chic flower, I think.

Centerpieces consisted of hydrangeas, peonies, garden roses, viburnum and tulips. They were all arranged in a variety of "vintage" silver and crystal containers.

I have to say, I really do love the idea of ending the wedding with a sweet treat for your guests to take home. For this wedding, it's a cookie bar. It's such a lovely and unexpected surprise for your guests.

Thank you so much Ariel for sharing your beautifully shabby chic wedding with my readers today. To see more from Ariel Yve Design, please visit her web site. Her gallery photos are simply stunning.
