The Perfect Blend of Spring and Summer Florals
May is one of the most beautiful times to marry in Moray, the Scottish Highlands, and across Scotland. Sitting perfectly between spring and summer, May weddings combine the freshness of spring flowers with the first luxurious blooms of the summer season.
Across Scottish castles, countryside estates, coastal venues, and elegant marquees, couples are drawn to the soft, romantic atmosphere that May naturally brings — longer evenings, lighter landscapes, and some of the year’s most sought-after flowers.
At Bay Tree Florists, we create bespoke wedding flowers for couples marrying throughout Moray, Aberdeenshire, the Scottish Highlands, and venues across Scotland, designing florals that feel timeless, refined, and completely personal.
Peonies: The Flower of May Weddings
For many couples, May means one thing — Peony season.
Known for their multipul layers of petals, delicate scent and beautifully full blooms, Peonies bring softness, movement, and understated luxury to wedding flowers. Their short season makes them especially sought-after for seasonal Scottish weddings.
Peonies work beautifully within:
- Bridal bouquets
- Floral meadows
- Ceremony arches
- Statement centrepieces
- Top table designs
Soft blush pink, ivory, buttercream, and white remain particularly popular for May weddings.

Planning Your May Wedding Flowers
As Peony season is short and highly sought-after, we always recommend booking your wedding florist early if you are hoping to include them within your designs.
Every Bay Tree Florists couple receives access to their own Personal Wedding Flower Portal — a collaborative online space containing moodboards, flower suggestions, styling ideas, itemised designs, and delivery details, helping make the planning process clear, organised, and enjoyable from beginning to end.
