Peonies…one of the absolute most gorgeous flowers out there! They are loved for their large size and their very high petal count, making them very dense and soft looking. Unfortunately, they are fairly pricey…especially if they’re out of season.
If you’re working on a budget or if your wedding is not during peony season don’t fret….you can still get gorgeous, full, high-petal-count flowers that will give the same look and feel as peonies, without the expense. These are also great additions to any garden.
Here are some alternate flowers to look into:
Ranunculus

Cabbage Rose, Juliet Rose, Eden Rose

Any of those roses, all of those roses, are super high-petal count, super dense, super soft & romantic looking…so don’t write off roses! Let me just say, there are TONS of rose varieties out there that are not your “typical” rose.
