The Best of Summer Bridal Bouquets
Summer is undoubtedly the peak season for weddings in Alberta, thanks to the beautifully warm temperatures and the lure of summer vacations. For florists, the most delightful aspect of summer is the abundance of locally grown flowers available! Among our cherished locally grown summer blooms for weddings are zinnias, cosmos, yarrow, phlox, blue lace flower, orlaya, delphiniums, dahlias, sweet peas, nigella, and Italian ranunculus.
Raspberry Romance
Nothing evokes the spirit of summer quite like the vivid, lively hues reminiscent of frozen popsicles and warm sunsets. Surrounded by lush greenery, complementing these tones with a striking raspberry shade is a delightful choice. Consider using statement flowers such as Italian ranunculus, celosia, stock, yarrow, snapdragons and gomphrena for a vibrant and impactful display. To achieve a harmonious balance with this bold color palette, incorporating touches of coral, blush, or ivory can create a beautifully nuanced aesthetic.
Colour Explosion
During the summer season, an array of blooms are readily available, ensuring your bouquet will be brimming with exquisite flowers. With a spectrum spanning the colour wheel, nature offers a plethora of colors to select from. Whether you desire a bouquet with a rounded shape or prefer the more untamed texture of wildflowers, you'll have no trouble finding the ideal blossoms to bring your vision to life. We particularly love incorporating blue lace flower, zinnias, cosmos, yarrow, nigella, clematis, phlox, gomphrena, allium, dahlias and scabiosa to achieve this diverse and captivating look!
Summer Sunset
In the summertime, it's a breeze to play with fiery corals and bold pinks, thanks to the array of flowers available. Garden roses, yarrow, amaranthus, strawflower, and ranunculus all come in these vibrant and captivating hues. To accentuate your monochromatic bouquet, consider adding a touch of white or even a vibrant orange coral for a stunning contrast.
Soft Summer Skies
For brides seeking a softer, elegant aesthetic for their summer bridal bouquet, we recommend selecting blooms such as lisianthus, sweet peas, garden roses, nigella, blue lace flowers, orlaya, larkspur, tweedia, and delphiniums. This combination will achieve a delicate, refined look. A bouquet featuring soft shades of nude, pastel purples, and pale blues is a beautiful way to create a subtle, romantic bouquet. Alternatively, you may opt for an ivory bouquet accented with light blue for another stunning take on a soft summer bouquet.
Lively Peach
Combining dahlias and garden roses yields a summer bouquet where each bloom truly comes alive. For those captivated by peachy tones, we love using dahlias, garden roses, standard roses, cherry caramel phlox, blue lace flower, scabiosas, and Italian ranunculus. This tender palette and stunning array of flowers are a love letter to the gentle embrace of summer's color, each petal a whisper of the season's beauty.
