Whether you’re looking to bring the outdoors inside or add a splash of colour to a special event, summer flowers offer endless possibilities.
At The Floral Point, we believe in capturing the essence of summer through the freshest blooms and the most captivating colours, that’s why we’ve created this guide on the best flowers and colours for your summer floral arrangements.
The Best Flowers for Summer Arrangements
Sunflowers: Nothing says summer quite like the cheerful sunflower. With its large, golden blooms and striking brown centre, sunflowers add warmth and joy to any arrangement. They’re perfect for creating bold, statement pieces that capture the spirit of the season.
Dahlias: Dahlias are a summer favourite due to their wide variety of colours and shapes. These show-stopping blooms bring texture and depth to arrangements, making them ideal for both elegant and rustic designs. From soft pastels to bright hues, dahlias can be tailored to suit any summer theme.
Hydrangeas: Hydrangeas are known for their lush, full blooms and are available in shades of blue, pink, purple, and white. Their versatility makes them a popular choice for both bouquets and centrepiece arrangements. Hydrangeas also symbolise gratitude, making them a meaningful addition to any summer gathering.
Zinnias: Zinnias are vibrant, long-lasting flowers that thrive in the summer heat. Available in nearly every colour, these cheerful blooms are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your arrangements. Zinnias are also known for attracting butterflies, adding a touch of natural beauty to outdoor events.
Roses: While roses are a classic choice year-round, they truly shine in the summer. The warm weather allows roses to fully open, showcasing their beauty and fragrance. Choose from a variety of colours to create a romantic and timeless summer bouquet.
Lilies: Lilies are another summer staple, known for their large, fragrant blooms. Oriental lilies, in particular, are a favourite for their vibrant colours and intoxicating scent. Whether used alone or mixed with other flowers, lilies add a touch of elegance to any summer arrangement.
The Best Floral Colors for Summer
Bold and Bright Hues: Summer is all about embracing bold, vibrant colours. Think fiery reds, sunny yellows, and electric oranges. These colours capture the energy and warmth of the season, making your floral arrangements stand out. Combine bright flowers like sunflowers, zinnias, and gerberas to create eye-catching displays that radiate joy.
Fresh Greens: Greenery is essential in summer floral arrangements, adding a lush and natural touch. Incorporate fresh green foliage like eucalyptus, ferns, and ivy to complement the vibrant blooms. Greenery not only enhances the beauty of the flowers but also adds texture and depth to your designs.
Tropical Tones: Embrace the tropical vibe of summer with bright, exotic colours like coral, turquoise, and fuchsia. These vibrant tones are perfect for beach-themed parties, outdoor gatherings, or simply bringing a bit of paradise into your home. Pair tropical-coloured flowers with large, lush leaves for a bold, island-inspired arrangement.
