Summer is the time for beach trips and days by the pool, but it’s also ideal for breathtaking floral arrangements. From daisies to dahlias and marigolds to peonies, gardens everywhere are bursting with fresh summer blooms. Ivywood Florist in Enterprise, AL, celebrates the season with new arrangements for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and every day in between. Here are a few of their favorite floral trends for this year. 

5 Floral Arrangement Ideas for Summer 2017

Mossy Flower Boxes

Summer may be all about colorful petals and bright blooms, but adding moss is a rustic touch that perfectly complements any style. Arrange your favorite flowers in a wooden box with soft spring moss as the foundation. The contrast between the flowers and the moss makes for a striking display.

Clever Containers

Almost anything can be used as a vase if you get creative. Search for glass soda bottles, wicker baskets, tin pails, old teapots, and even shoes to use as containers for your summer floral arrangements.

Color Contrast

With such an expansive variety of flowers in bloom between May and August, you have the entire rainbow to choose from regarding color. One of the biggest contrasting trends of 2017 is pairing a mint-colored holder with fiery flowers in deep reds, oranges, and yellows.

Pineapples & Posies

Pineapples are a tasty treat you can also incorporate into your floral arrangements. Hollow out the fruit and arrange a display of colorful posies and greenery. The au naturel vase coupled with pretty petals is a match made in heaven for picnics and parties.

Sweet & Simple

Grand floral arrangements are ideal for weddings and big events, but simple displays of hand-picked flowers in delicate vessels make for relaxing summer nights. Stick to a few stems of the same flower and give them a drink in small glass jars of varying shapes.
