Do you know your birth flower?

Birth flowers are traditional flowers linked to each month of the year, in much the same way as birthstones.
Many people are surprised to learn that birth flowers don’t always match when a flower naturally blooms!
Creating a Winter Tablescape

One of my favourite creative moments so far this season was a dinner party I hosted for my lovely friends Nick and Royston, alongside my dear friend Paul Hawkins - a fresh florist. We created the most beautiful winter tablescape, mixing fresh and faux.
The Joy of Playing Florist

There’s something about November that invites us to slow down. The days grow shorter, the world outside turns golden, and home becomes our favourite place to be. It’s the perfect time to light a candle, pop the kettle on and get creative.
You're Invited: A Festive Event at Peony in Shifnal
We can't believe that it's almost Black Friday already, and as usual we are hosting our wonderful Christmas Shopping Event at the Peony shop - to kick off our Black Friday Sale!

October’s Birth Flower: The Cosmos
October’s Birth Flower: The Cosmos
It’s a time of transition, and perhaps that’s why the Cosmos has been chosen as October’s birth flower! With its delicate, balanced petals, the Cosmos symbolises harmony, peace, and order - exactly what many of us are seeking as the year starts to slow down...
Styling Your Home with Neutral Faux Flowers All Year Round
When it comes to decorating with flowers, there’s one simple trick that makes life easier - start with a base of neutral stems! Soft whites, creams, and soft greens: timeless colours that work well in any room and in any season.
Why Are Beautiful Faux Flowers The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift?
Mother’s Day is a special occasion to honour the incredible mothers who have shaped our lives with their love, care, and wisdom. Here at Peony, Mothers are appreciated so highly as our company was founded all those years ago by myself and my mother, Margaret.
Fresh Flowers and Faux: The Perfect Combination
Late spring is such a wonderful time of year as we get to enjoy warmer, sunnier days and an abundance of beautiful fresh flowers in our gardens. After celebrating the beauty of the early spring plants, May is the turn of many of our favourite flowers.
Create Your Own Faux Flower Arrangement
Our individual stems are perfect for creating a bespoke faux flower arrangement that is as unique as you are! All of our individual stems are currently 3 for 2 as part of our mix and match stem offer, making now the perfect time to stock up on some fabulous faux floral heaven.
Celebrate Spring Flowers with Peony
The first day of spring doesn’t officially arrive in the UK until 20th March, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start celebrating its arrival early. Our new Spring Collection celebrates all of ours, and your favourite spring flowers and colours.
