Pink Peonies: Blair Waldorf's Must Have Flowers on Gossip Girl

It's next to impossible to find a girl who wouldn't want the life of Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl. Brains, looks, and a high style that screams New York City are only a few ways to describe this dynamic Gossip Girl character. So when it came time to plan an 18th birthday party, the Queen B couldn't stop talking about her need for hundreds of pink peonies to decorate the monumental event.

Pink peonies are large fragrant flowers that have become one of the most popular flowers brides choose for their weddings. Used often in Chinese art, peonies in general are symbolic of riches and honor- something Gossip Girl fans have come to associate with Blair Waldorf. That means when it comes to flowers, pink peonies are a must have to show off your Blair Waldorf love.

Pink peonies are in season from late May to June. Since Blair Waldorf's birthday in the Gossip Girl series is on November 17th, it would have been next to impossible for the Queen B to get all the peonies she needed for her lavish 18th birthday party. In reality, there are a few places to find pink peonies in November. One such place is FiftyFlowers.com. How much would it have cost Blair Waldorf to deck out her Gossip Girl birthday with their Pink Sarah Bernhardt Peonies? For 100 of these out of season beauties, it would have been at least $439.99. Naturally, Blair Waldorf gets what she wants so I imagine she would have used at least 200 bringing the total to $879.98.

If the out of season prices for pink peonies leave you shaking in your Manolo Blahniks, there is a Blair Waldorf approved solution. FiftyFlowers.com suggests using a Peony Rose Pink Metropole as a substitute for when pink peonies are out of season. These pink roses are as large as pink peonies and carry numerous fragrant petals. Considering that 36 stems of this large pink rose will set you back $149.99, Blair Waldorf would surely approve of this substitution.

Another gift item that could earn that Blair Waldorf seal of approval is the Pink Peony line of bath and body cosmetics from Perlier. This line ranges in prices from $14.50 to $55.00 and includes products such as Peony Bath and Shower Gel ($18.50), Peony Body Cream ($30.00), and a Holiday 3 Piece Set ($55.00). Perlier believes that their line of Pink Peony products are just right for a woman like Blair Waldorf "who lives every moment with grace and elegance."

Blair Waldorf must haves aren't just headbands and preppy clothes for the Hamptons. Though planning a November birthday with pink peonies might be out of the question for most Blair Waldorf fans, it's possible to have a touch of Gossip Girl style once these pink fragrant flowers are back in season.
