Additional Tips for Summer Wedding Flowers
Beyond selecting the right flowers, consider these additional tips to ensure your summer wedding floral arrangements are a success:
- Timing is Key: Summer flowers are typically at their peak from June to August. Book your florist well in advance to ensure availability.
- Consider the Climate: Summer heat can be tough on flowers. Choose varieties that are heat-resistant and keep arrangements in a cool, shaded area whenever possible.
- Hydration is Essential: Ensure all floral arrangements have access to plenty of water. Consider using floral foam or water tubes to keep stems hydrated throughout the day.
- Protect from Sun: Direct sunlight can cause flowers to wilt quickly. Keep arrangements out of direct sunlight, especially during outdoor weddings.
Complementary Greenery and Accents
Don't forget the importance of greenery and accents in your summer wedding floral designs. Eucalyptus, ferns, and ivy can add texture and visual interest to bouquets and centerpieces. Consider using berries or other seasonal accents for a pop of color and whimsy. For example, pairing dahlias with eucalyptus creates a gorgeous and modern look.
Pro Tip: The "Flower Shower" Hack
Summer weddings often involve flower showers—guests tossing petals as the couple exits the ceremony. To prevent staining of clothing, use only the petals of robust flowers like roses or carnations, and ensure they're completely dry before the toss.
