Red Sarah Bernhardt Peony

Arranging Tips for DIY Brides

• Use Red Sarah Bernhardt peonies as your focal flowers to add drama and richness.
• Pair with neutral florals (white roses, cream lisianthus) to balance bold tones.
• Start with a greenery base (like ruscus or seeded eucalyptus), then layer your peonies.
• Use odd-numbered groupings (3s or 5s) for natural visual flow.
• Place peonies at slightly varied heights to create depth and softness.
• Don’t overcrowd — let each peony have space to shine.

7. Change water daily and recut stems every 2 days to maintain freshness.
