Enchanted's Favourite Blooms: Peonies

We decided to add a "Enchanted's Favourite Blooms" entry monthly just for our faithful readers so you learn more about flowers and have some ideas on what you can have in your bouquet and arrangements.

Our first featured flower has got to be our favourite flower, the peony or paeony. This is a premium bloom which has a large flower head which features a gorgeous display of multi-petals when bloomed. It is typically available in white, shades of red and many shades of pink. Peonies are available in Singapore by import from Holland, New Zealand and China.

Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of Mongolia and China. In recent times, the peony has been the most popular flower of choice for weddings and is frequently featured in Martha Stewart's magazines. Peonies are such gorgeous classy flowers. One bloom in a bottle is all it takes to brighten your day.

Peonies are available in spring till early summer.

Boutonnieres from Sex & The City 2!

From the jawdropping large scale wedding of Stanford Blatch from Sex & The City 2, we saw the white carnations featured as the choice flower throughout the wedding. We were so inspired by the black and white theme of the wedding and how gorgeous the white carnation looked as a boutonniere that we recreated the flowers just for you to see!

Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) wore a white carnation boutonniere as the best man of Stanford Blatch. The white carnation is simply astounding on its own against the dark color of the suit. We gave the tail a nice curl around as a finishing touch, just like the one Carrie wore.


Stanford wore a gorgeous white gardenia with leaves as his boutonniere. We replicated the look using a large white lisianthus, since gardenias are not available in Singapore. Though his boutonniere was kept straight, we decided to curl ours just to give it a little twist at the end.

Here are some snapshots we took from the trailer that showed the boutonnieres they wore. Enjoy!
