Summer Wedding Flowers

One of the greatest time of the year to get married is summer. The warmth of the weather plus the kiss of sunshine contributes to the aura of romance, which makes summer days perfect for weddings. However, it’s not only the sun and the weather that can change the mood of your weather, but even the type of flowers that you choose.

The thing is, since summer can offer you various kinds of blooms, choosing the right kinds of flowers can be a tough one. Here are some of the best flower choices that can make your summer wedding an unforgettable one!

Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums are great especially if your motif has a brilliant lime green or green satin touch on it. You can choose from getting a single flower or ones that have a daisy-like bloom. There are types too that have multi-petal heads that can give an instant bouquet finish. You can also get those pom-pom shaped kinds and vary them from small to large heads.

Sweet Pea

If you want something that has a delicate touch, coupled with a lingering scent, then sweet pea is one flower that you should put on your list. However, even though this flower is one of the wedding favorites, it has a tendency of drooping in hot weather. Thus, it doesn’t last long.

Despite its negative characteristics, this flower would still be great for small bouquets for your flower girls or younger bridesmaids. You can also use them as cute centerpieces.

Rose

The rose is considered to be the most popular of all wedding flowers. It is also said to be the most romantic too. If you have a thing for colors, you’ll like this flower since it comes in a wide array of colors that you can choose from.

This is perfect for bridal bouquets. It is also applicable to the bouquets of the attendants. You can also make use of it as a decoration for your reception area. Lastly, roses also look nice for buttonholes.

Lily

You can find lilies in different brilliant colors. They come in white to dazzling yellow and red. If you like something striking and make a statement, then lilies are the thing for you. However, if you choose to use this flower, you should take extra care that you remove the stamens, because its pollen can stain your dress. Lilies are great for very dramatic and modern bouquets.

Lavender

This flower has a dense purple hue with somewhat silvery foliage. It is also highly scented. However, these are great to be used as decorations for your reception venue. If you are having a country wedding, then you can use it as a centerpiece placed in terracotta pots for each table.

Carnation

You can find carnations in tame colors of white to flaming hues of red, orange and pink. These are also great to be used as table centerpieces. They also look best when they are arranged in large groups to create a large pomander.

Magnolia

Then you also have magnolias. These are large flowers that come in different shapes. They have a subtle scent. However, you can find them in different colors too.

What is good about this flower is that you can use them as bouquet flowers or venue decorations. They are very versatile. However, they are quite expensive, so you may want to have them arranged with other less costly flowers.
