Choosing a red shade
The colour name does not describe the whole bouquet. A dark red may look almost burgundy indoors and brighter in daylight. Send a colour reference when matching decorations or clothing. Say whether a raspberry undertone is acceptable and whether you want a single variety. This helps the florist select a close palette.
Red peonies for a date or anniversary
A small bouquet is easy to present at a meeting and carry by hand. Choose a larger size for a gift at home, or discuss a box or basket with a water source for a restaurant. A personal message suits a single-colour bouquet too. Match the shape and size to the setting and the person’s taste.
Red peonies alone or with white flowers
A bouquet of peonies alone shows the petals and opening of each flower. White peonies, roses or lisianthus add contrast. Foliage outlines the flowers, particularly with dark wrapping. Avoid covering them with thick layers of paper: they will need more space once open.
Cost and preparation for your date
Price depends on variety, supply, stem count and wrapping. For a choice within budget, give your preferred height and width. We confirm preparation of red peonies for your date separately, including outside their natural season. On arrival, recut the stems and place the bouquet in a clean vase away from direct heat.
