Peony Centerpieces

"After my husband, Carson, proposed to me, his brother came out of the bushes and handed me a huge bouquet of peonies that he had overnighted from California," Dawn says. "Since then, I have always loved the flower, so my bouquet was a no-brainer. I also attached to the stems pictures of loved ones we had lost."
