What Are the Best Flowers for a Summer Wedding?

If you are planning on having a summer wedding, you may have thought of which ideal flowers you should choose for your special day. There are many options you can go with, from rustic to modern refined flower arrangements to match your summer wedding's aesthetic. Depending on the type of flowers included and the level of care you give them, most floral arrangements last four to seven days. Choosing in-season flowers at one of the best flower shops provides you an opportunity to make ideal choices for your centerpieces and bouquets.

Summer Flowers

Standard flower types such as carnations and roses are readily available but you can also go for sunflowers or dahlias, which are present in flower shops during the summer season. The best thing about in-season flowers is that they are easy to find in flower shops, which helps your florist find suitable flower arrangements that follow your floral budget. Here are some ideal flowers you can use for your summer wedding.

Gardenias

Gardenias are large and have a strong, sweet scent which makes them a suitable choice for a standalone bouquet. They have fragile features and are only available in cream or white colors. As they begin to wilt, their petals become brown, so ensure you have suitable storage to keep them fresh if you choose these flowers for your wedding.

Freesias

Freesias are a good preference if you are going for a wildflower look, as they have bell-shaped blooms on their stems. They have a sweet fragrance and complement well when paired with white flowers. They come in shades of purple, pink, blue, red, orange, yellow, and white at the top flower shops.

Orchids

Orchids are an elegant and stunning flower choice with a modern touch. They come in a variety of colors as well as countless variations, including huge orchids and mini orchids. You must note, however, that each variation has its distinct scent. White orchids are a popular choice for wedding bouquets but color shades such as purple and pink can be used as well.

Irises

Irises are usually known for their purple color shade, but irises are also available in other colors such as white, yellow, and pink. There are varieties of irises that have little to no scent while others have a fruity scent. Adding white irises to a bouquet arrangement gives it some frill and texture. Alternatively, having a bouquet of irises alone can give an enchanting and gorgeous look for your summer wedding.
