About Me

My photo
Hello and welcome. I'm a bride in Belfast who grew up on Father of the Bride and dreams of a wedding at the Plaza or an outdoor ceremony in a private home in Nantucket. I've big dreams and a little budget. So with this blog I hope to share with you how I'm trying to get a very personal, bespoke, luxurious wedding in Northern Ireland with a little budget squeezing and creativity. Or as I have come to see it a Vera Wang wedding on a Walmart budget.

Perfect Peonies!

I'm not a summer bride (I think?!) so I won't be selecting Peonies. Peonies are a very (very!!) popular wedding flower choice and you can see why, they are beautiful, but they are only in season for a few months. Picking flowers in season will save you money and also, I once read that nature is very clever...flowers are in season for a reason, so that they complement that season. Therefore picking flowers in season works with nature & your budget! So this is peony season and as luck would have it Marks & Spencer’s are stocking them for £20.00 a bunch in white/ ivory & pinks. Any wedding florists reading this will kill me, but if you really are on a tighter budget and have the guts to take on your own flowers you could definitely do it with the M&S peonies (the one at Sprucefield is the best).
