Ready for a wee bit of summer? For this peony rose arrangement, I paired lush white and pink peonies mixed beautiful roses. The floral arrangement isn’t only wonderful to look at, it also smells heavenly.
DIY peony rose arrangement
Seriously, close your eyes and breathe in a whiff of cottage garden! The peony rose arrangement looks amazing on a dinner table, as part of a dessert bar or as a centerpiece for weddings.
I used a simple wire technique to create support for the flower stems and covered the vase with a gorgeous printable vase wrapper from our Vintage Rose collection.
As a bonus, we’ve also included a cute printable card and mini-envelope so you can even give the arrangement as a homemade Mother’s Day gift or DIY birthday present.

Peony Rose Arrangement Instructions
The peony rose arrangement looks amazing on a dinner table, as part of a dessert bar or as a centerpiece for weddings. Instead of white and pink flowers, you could also pair coral peonies with yellow roses or ruby peonies with deep red roses. The printable vase wrapper helps to hide the stems and the wire support.
Materials
- 7 open pink and white peonies
- 6 peony buds
- 12 pink roses
- aluminium craft wire (12 gauge)
- 20 cm (8 in) round glass vase with straight edges
- tape
- printable vase wrapper (download below)
Tools
- garden shears
- florists knife
- wire cutter
- crafting scissors
Instructions
Build the support. Using the wire cutter, shorten the aluminum wire to a length of approximately 60 cm (23 in). Twist and scrunch the wire a couple of times and put it in the glass vase.
Prep the flowers. Remove all but the topmost leaves from the peonies and roses.
Arrange the roses. Shorten the stems of 3 roses to a length a length of 20 cm (8 in). Place the flowers in the vase, forming a triangle. The rose stems together with the wire help to hold the other flowers in place.
Add the peonies. Starting at the rim of the vase add the other flowers. Leave the stems a little longer the more you build up the centerpiece. We think it looks pretty to mix peonies with small groups of rose. You can always re-arrange flowers to your liking.
Create the wrapper. Print the vase wrapper on DIN A4 or letter size photo paper or cardstock and cut out along the grey outlines. Using tape, attach the wrapper to the vase. Make sure the bottom of the vase and the wrapper line up. We used two sheets to wrap our vase. You may need more or less, depending on the circumference of your container.
Print the gift card. Print the card and envelope on DIN A4 or letter size photo paper or cardstock. Cut out along the grey outlines. Then fold the card in half and fold in the flaps of the envelope.
Notes
Care Tips for Long Vase Life
