Previously (here: "http://kristaandwadeswedding.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-heart-peonies.html" and here: "http://kristaandwadeswedding.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-peonies.html"), I discussed the many virtues of peony bouquets. I also discussed their downfalls (namely their short season and their cost).
Now I'm going to discuss a common alternative, English Roses, and a hidden alternative, carnations.
English Roses, also called David Austin Roses, are a great alternative to peonies:

And even carnations, when you have enough, create a full look:

Any other alternatives to peonies?

I feel the same way- I think I love garden roses more than peonies (I know, I said it!). I also love the fully, fluffy dhalias. They are nice and big and very budget-friendly!
