Summer is the perfect season to celebrate with floral arrangements that reflect the colors and joyful spirit of the season. Also, the existence of the flower arrangement around the house will create a better atmosphere for you to enjoy the season really well.  Additionally, a summer floral arrangement can also transform any space so that you can put it anywhere such as entryway, living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc.

Talking about arranging the flowers, summer is a time for experimentation. Don’t hesitate to mix and match different flowers and colors to suit your style and the occasion. We recommend you add herbs like lavender or rosemary for a fragrant touch. Here’s a guide to creating stunning summer floral arrangements that capture the essence of the season.

Choosing the Right Flowers

The key to a successful summer arrangement lies in selecting flowers that embody the season’s vibrancy. You can choose the birds that are bright and cheerful, such as:

1. Sunflowers

These iconic flowers symbolize warmth and positivity. Their large, golden heads add a dramatic flair. Sunflowers from @mundo_de_girassois

2. Peonies

With their lush, full blooms, peonies bring a touch of elegance and romance. Peonies blooms are quite similar to roses but it is different since peonies do not have thorns. Peonies from @lanayov

3. Zinnias

Available in a variety of bold colors, zinnias are perfect for adding a playful touch. Look at how adorable the zinnias are with varied color choices. You can have pink, yellow, orange, peach, and even white. Zinnias from @bscribs

4. Dahlias

Their intricate petals and wide range of colors make dahlias a versatile choice. As you can see, dahlias have many colors so you can play with the colors while arranging them. You can also adjust your needs for colors based on the style you want to create. Dahlias from @gardenbeeflowerfarm

5. Cosmos

Delicate and airy, the cosmos offers a light and breezy look. Even basically, the cosmos is a simple flower that doesn’t have too many details and petals, but this flower is still considered to be used for flower arrangement with its special character. Cosmos from @ayrikaturner

6. Eucalyptus

To enhance your floral arrangement, incorporate a mix of foliage and fillers. Greenery such as eucalyptus can be a fresh backdrop that highlights the blooms. It also smells really fresh which is great! Eucalyptus from @bloomingbellesflorist_

7. Ferns

The ferns are recommended because they bring you to the tropical rainforest atmosphere for your flower arrangement. The unique shape of the foliage can also be a great combination for the flowers that we already recommend for you. Fern from @evergreengreenville

1. Start with a Clean Vase: Make sure that your vase is clean to prolong the life of your flowers. Choose a container that complements your flowers and the space where you want to put the vase.

2. Prepare the Flowers: Trim the stems at a diagonal angle to increase water absorption. Then, remove any leaves that will be below the water line to prevent rot.

3. Create a Base with Greenery: You can create the base by adding greenery to the vase as the first step of the arrangement. This forms a base and helps structure the arrangement.

4. Add the Main Blooms: After the base, you can then arrange the focal flowers first, placing them at varying heights for a natural look. We recommend you group similar flowers together to create a cohesive feel.

5. Incorporate Fillers: You should fill in gaps with smaller blooms and fillers. This will add volume and texture to the arrangement.

6. Adjust as Needed: When everything is already set, step back frequently to ensure the arrangement looks balanced and visually appealing from all angles.

Maintaining Your Arrangement

Creating a summer floral arrangement is not just about aesthetics but also about celebrating the season’s joy. A well-crafted floral arrangement can bring the essence of summer right to your doorstep. Here, you should keep your summer floral arrangement fresh. The thing that you can do is regularly change the water and trim the stems as needed. Keep the arrangement in a cool spot and away from direct sunlight and drafts to extend the life of your blooms.
