Mothers Day
Mothers Day is May 9, 2010. Bridgewater Gardens is located in Michigan where the peonies bloom during the month of June. We never have fresh cut peonies in time for Mothers Day. Please visit the Bridgewater Gardens Peony Gift Store at Zazzle for Peony Gifts for Mothers Day. All of these beautiful peony gifts have been designed with photos taken of peony flowers grown by Bridgewater Gardens.
Fresh cut peonies are the most beautiful cut flower that there is. There is nothing like the smell of old-time fragrant fresh cut peonies. Bridgewater Gardens offers large, colorful, fresh cut peonies that are exceedingly showy flowers. The cut peony flowers range from the most fragrant pure white flowers to a large dark luscious velvety red type of peony flower. Our fresh cut peonies are richly fragrant and highly sought after flowers. The brilliant maroon crimson reds, the deeply fragrant pinks, and the many lovely shades of white will hold beautiful and timeless memories for your June wedding or any other special occasion. We exercise the greatest of care in handling the peony stems and assure your satisfaction with our cut peony flowers. Are you thinking about using peonies as a wedding flower? We would love to provide fresh peonies for your wedding flowers. Peonies can be used in floral arrangements by themselves or with other flowers. Cut peonies are the perfect bridal flower and make a great wedding table centerpiece or bridal bouquet. Peony buds make a great corsage or boutonniere for your bridal party.
Because the peony flower season is dependent on the weather and we cannot guarantee the bloom we recommend that you order fresh cut peonies in addition to other flowers for your June wedding. These are the dates of our peony flower season in Michigan for the past 8 years:
2002 June 5 - June 20
2003 June 10 - June 25
2004 May 28 - June 8 (very early)
2005 June 6 - June 16
2006 May 31 - June 20
2007 May 29 - June 16
2008 June 3 - June 23
2009 June 4 - June 28
The dates above represent the dates when we can cut large quantities of fresh cut peonies. We usually have lesser amounts available a few days either side of these dates. We have been able to provide cut peonies for early July (July 1 & July 8) weddings for the last couple of years by taking peonies cut during our last cutting and refrigerating them. To order cut peonies for your early July wedding please contact us.
For wedding dates outside of the peony flowering season you might consider some alternative flowers that are similar to peonies such as football mums, cabbage roses, dinner plate dahlias, and peony tulips.
We are located 15 minutes southwest of Ann Arbor, MI near the village of Bridgewater. Please contact us if you would like to pick up your peony flower order. Orders are accepted via e-mail. For over night shipping of fresh cut peonies to other parts of the USA please contact us at BWaterGardens@aol.com to determine shipping charges. We generally ship using Express Mail through the US Post Office and have experienced very reliable overnight service using this service. If Express Mail does not do overnight to your area then we have to use Fedex or UPS. For delivery locations within Michigan and most of Ohio and Illinois it is less expensive to ship using UPS or FedEx Ground delivery services which is one day delivery.

Do you need to send fresh flowers outside of the peony season?
Would you like to grow peonies in your garden?
Peonies are a great addition to your garden. They are very easy to grow in average soil and require almost no maintenance. We keep our peonies weeded and mulched and we cut the plants down to the ground after the first frost. Peonies are very easy to grow and will do well for you in average soil. Many of our peony plants have been ordered from Bloomingbulb.com. They have great low prices especially if you order large quantities and we have been very happy with their service, delivery, and quality of their plants.
What type of Vase is best for peonies? Peonies look great in a tall, flared vase like these below.
