A closed peony bud takes up little space. As it opens, the petals spread and the same bunch looks much wider. A bouquet for this evening and one that will open in a vase therefore call for different choices. Send a reference showing the look you want and your date: the florist will check which flowers suit the order.
Peony season and ordering for a particular date
The natural peony flowering season is late spring to early summer. Buying cut peonies at other times depends on supply and variety. For a birthday, anniversary or wedding, discuss the order in advance, especially if you want a particular shade. We first confirm whether flowers can be prepared for your date, then agree the composition and total.
White, pink, coral and burgundy peonies
White peonies can have ivory or cream tones. Pink ranges from pale to deeper shades, coral has a warmer tone, and red and burgundy suit a darker colour scheme. When choosing, consider the colour of the open flower as well as the bud. If the flowers need to match a dress, decorations or another gift, send a colour reference.
Sarah Bernhardt and Coral Charm: choosing a variety
Sarah Bernhardt is known for its pink, double flowers. The coral colour of Coral Charm gradually fades to paler shades as it opens. A variety name describes an order more precisely than simply asking for pink peonies. Flower size and opening speed can still vary within one variety. We confirm your preferred variety for the presentation date.
Choosing a small or large peony bouquet
Stem count matters, but volume also depends on flower size, stem length and opening stage. A small bouquet of open peonies can look wider than a larger number of tight buds. For a gift that will be carried, discuss a comfortable size. For a large bunch, ask about height and width and prepare a stable vase at home.
Peonies on their own, in a box or with other flowers
A bouquet made only of peonies can use one variety and colour or combine several shades. In a mixed bouquet, peonies can be paired with roses, lisianthus or hydrangeas. Opening flowers need space: tight wrapping should not crush their petals. For a box or basket, check the dimensions and water-holding base, especially if the gift will be presented at a restaurant or office.
What affects peony prices in Chișinău
The supply season, variety, stem count, additional flowers and wrapping all affect the price. When comparing two bouquets, check what the amount includes: peonies with wrapping or a complete arrangement with a box and other flowers. Each product has a price in lei. For a custom order, share your budget; we agree the composition and total before payment.
Peonies for weddings and celebration gifts
For a bridal bouquet, consider the shade of the open flowers, bouquet size and finished weight. At a restaurant, it matters whether the recipient has a vase and somewhere to put the gift. Give us the ceremony or presentation time and discuss the opening stage separately. Opening times vary from bud to bud.
Ordering peonies for delivery in Chișinău
Send your chosen option or a reference photograph, date, address and recipient contact details. If you need the bouquet today, the team checks flower availability and a courier window before confirmation. We photograph the finished peony bouquet before handing it to the courier. Collection is available from MURCI at 24 Ion Dumeniuc Street once we confirm that it is ready.
Caring for peonies after arrival
Put the bouquet in a clean, stable vase, recut the stems and remove leaves below the water line. Check the water daily and replace it when dirty. Keep peonies away from radiators and direct sunlight, with room for the petals to open. If buds do not open or the flowers quickly lose their condition, send a photograph to the MURCI team. Do not force the petals apart or try to speed up opening with strong heat.
