my current wedding obsession: garden roses

I love peonies. They are probably my favorite flower and had I known that they were COMPLETELY out of season in August, well, I may have voted for a different wedding date...


I have said from beginning that I do not want any roses in my wedding flowers - not in my bouquet, the girls' bouquets, the bouts, the corsages, the ceterpieces - nowhere. They are just so...common.

Imagine my surprise when I saw this...

Behold the garden rose...I am completely smitten.

While it may be a "rose" and not a peony, it's SO fluffy and pretty...just like a peony! Imagine a bouquet of these fluffly beauties!
