Peonies in February?

Our initial flower budget was pretty weak. I thought we would do candle centerpieces and maybe a few very small arrangements on the cocktail tables. That's before I discovered you can find peonies in February! It's true.. I totally didn't believe it until our florist came back with a quote and some arrangement ideas. I had no idea what to expect from a floral proposal, so this might help those of you who are clueless as to what to ask for!

Here are the bouquet pictures I showed her for inspiration.

And here's the floral proposal for the bouquets:
Bride: Medium round bouquet consisting of white peonies and tea roses, finished in layers of champagne satin loops with a full wrap and pearl pin detailing and lace accents.
Bridesmaids: Smaller round bouquet filled with red peonies and spray roses, finished in an ivory satin ribbon.
Groom: Boutonniere of white tea roses framed in foliage and finished in a black satinribbon.
Groomsmen: Boutonniere of red tea roses framed in foliage and finished in a black satin ribbon.
Mothers: Posy bouquet of white calla lilies and tea roses framed in foliage and finished in an ivory satin ribbon.
Fathers: Single white calla lily framed in foliage and finished in a black satin ribbon.

And for the centerpieces:
Two designs to be incorporated into the setting.
Low Design: Seven multi-height glass cylinders to host a single ivory floating candle.Tabletops to be sprinkled with red rose petals, as well as some cylinders to contain layers of petals for dimension.
High Design: Tall glass fluted vase to host a textured display of white and ivory floral including hydrangeas, peonies, lilies, tulips and bouvardia amidst a base of seasonal foliages.

I'm so happy we'll be able to add peonies to our arrangements. It sounds so silly, but it's always what I pictured for my bouquet. Were you pleasantly surprised by any of your vendors?!
