Blooming Beautifully: Your Guide to the Best Summer Wedding Flowers.

Summer. The very word conjures images of sunshine, long evenings, and a sense of joyful abundance – the perfect backdrop for a wedding! And what better way to celebrate this vibrant season than with a stunning array of summer blooms? From bold and bright to soft and romantic, summer offers a floral palette that's as diverse and dazzling as the season itself.

Choosing the right flowers for your summer wedding isn't just about aesthetics; it's also about considering seasonality, availability, and how they'll hold up in the warmer weather. Fear not, fellow flower enthusiasts! We've curated a guide to some of the most exquisite and reliable summer wedding flowers to help you create the floral fairytale of your dreams.

The Showstoppers:

• Roses: A timeless classic, roses are at their peak in summer, offering a breathtaking variety of colours, shapes, and fragrances. From the romantic blush of David Austins to the vibrant hues of hybrid teas, roses bring elegance and sophistication to any wedding style. Plus, many varieties boast a beautiful scent that will enchant your guests.

  
  

• Peonies: These fluffy, cloud-like blooms are a summer wedding dream. Their large, opulent petals in shades of pink, white, coral, and even burgundy make a statement in bouquets, centrepieces, and ceremony décor. While their season can be somewhat fleeting (late spring to early summer), catching them at their peak is well worth it for their undeniable charm.

  
  

• Dahlias: For a burst of colour and personality, look no further than dahlias. These intricate blooms come in an incredible range of sizes, shapes, and vibrant colours, from delicate pastels to fiery reds and oranges. They add a touch of drama and whimsy, making them perfect for bohemian, rustic, or even more contemporary wedding styles.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  

  
  

Adding Texture and Charm:

• Hydrangeas: These voluminous blooms are a summer staple, offering a lush and romantic feel. Available in shades of blue, pink, white, and purple, they are perfect for creating full and textured bouquets and centrepieces. They also hold up well in warmer weather, making them a practical and beautiful choice.

  
  

• Sweet Peas: With their delicate petals and intoxicating fragrance, sweet peas bring a touch of old-world romance to summer weddings. Their climbing nature makes them ideal for adding vertical interest to bouquets and arrangements, and their soft pastel hues are perfect for a vintage or garden-inspired celebration.

  
  

• Lisianthus: Often mistaken for roses, lisianthus boasts delicate, ruffled petals and a long vase life, making them a practical and beautiful choice for summer weddings. They come in a range of soft and elegant colours, including white, pink, purple, and even bi-colours, adding a touch of refined beauty.

Wild and Wonderful Accents:

• Sunflowers: For a cheerful and undeniably summery vibe, sunflowers are a fantastic choice. Their bright yellow faces and bold presence bring a sense of joy and optimism to any wedding. They work particularly well for rustic, outdoor, or country-themed celebrations.

  
  

• Zinnias: These vibrant, daisy-like flowers come in a kaleidoscope of colours and are incredibly long-lasting, making them a practical and cheerful addition to summer wedding décor. They add a touch of playful informality and work well in more relaxed or bohemian settings.

  
  

• Wildflowers and Greenery: Don't underestimate the beauty of incorporating seasonal wildflowers and lush greenery. Think Queen Anne's Lace, cosmos, scabiosa, and a variety of ferns and foliage. These elements add texture, movement, and a natural, organic feel to your arrangements, perfectly complementing the summer season.
