The other day we were walking past a bodega bursting with blossoms and I turned to Chris and said, "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. A May or June wedding would have been so nice." Upon which he had a mini-freak-out of his own: "No way, we picked the perfect month; are you regretting it? Are you not 100% happy???" Etc.
I quickly reassured him, but the totally superficial reason for my momentary lapse was
peonies.
I love them. And I doubt that I can have even one single blossom in my bouquet because they'll have faded out of season. (Don't even think of suggesting dahlias as a substitute; they're pretty too but nothing like the same feeling, all sharp edges where peonies are soft and ruffly.) So I've got to indulge my eyes (and yours) while I can! Check out the wonderful Weeder's Digest column on Design*Sponge.
(Speaking of Design*Sponge, I want this book.)

Would cabbage roses be in season?
the downside of peonies are the ants that love to live in them. But they are very beautiful.
I know this is sacrilege, but there are some pretty good looking silk flowers out there :)
I am keeping my fingers crossed for cabbage roses/garden roses (those big, are they David Austin? I forget the name of the breed).
