Peonies are very well-loved and known, and a respected flower symbol throughout the traditional Asian culture. It has been used by the Chinese as their national flower along with the plum blossom. Peonies are often represented through Asian art as, “the flowers of riches and honour”, and are recommended to be placed into the home to bring in more love and prosperity.
In home decor, peonies can add freshness and glamour to any room. These magnificent flowers, with their luscious large blooms never fail to catch my attention. They are extremely hard to resist!
I just redecorated my space and decided to incorporate these gorgeous flowers into my bedroom.
Even I can’t say no to more love and good fortune…
No bugs= No mess! At least until the real ones bloom.
Homesense: silk cream peonies $12, glass vase $10
About Staging Etc
Wow I thought those red and white peonies were real. I would never have know they were silk unless you mentioned it. Nice decorating!
Hi Paula
I love peonies, especially as wedding flowers.
Yes, it’s crazy how real fake things look nowaday. Just the other day, a client was convinced that the fake apples I used for staging was real.
