One of the best parts about a summer marriage is that the warm weather ensures many attractive options for wedding flowers. However, that could also make it challenging to narrow down your choices. If you’re planning a summer wedding, optimize its aesthetic potential by thinking about which flowers are appropriate for the time of year. 

A Guide to Summer Wedding Flowers 

1. Cheerful Colors 

With the abundance of sunlight and hot temperatures, summertime inspires a special love for warm and bright colors. If you want flowers that complement the season while expressing the joy of the day, consider blossoms with bold hues, such as red, pink, and purple. For example, peonies, dahlias, and lilies come in many attractively bright shades, and they all bloom in summer. Some chrysanthemums are available in lively colors, too, so they could be an excellent choice for weddings late in summer, which is when they’re in season. 

2. Voluminous Double-Flowered Blooms

Summertime produces many fabulous flowers that grow multiple layers of petals, known as double-flowered blossoms. Such flowers include classic roses, peonies, lilacs, and dahlias. Hydrangeas and lilies are sometimes double-flowered as well. If you want wedding flowers that add to the happy atmosphere with their sense of fullness, double-flowered varieties are perfect. Since flowers like these also come in many different shades and colors, you can find some that will fit in beautifully with your color scheme, whether you want a soft pink, white, or yellow.

3. Elegant Understatement

Perhaps you prefer smaller or muted wedding flowers to encourage a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, especially if the event is in the evening or morning. In that case, focus on pastels and delicate, dainty blossoms, such as daisies, hydrangeas, and freesias. Roses are versatile enough to offer modest sizes and soft shades as well. These flowers complement the decor wonderfully, without distracting from the ceremony. They also serve as beautiful additions to the table centerpieces.
