If you are searching for summer wedding flowers, rest easy and know that you have a world of options open to you.  From traditional favorites to exotic tropicals, the summer season offers a huge selection of colors and flower varieties.

In addition to a tremendous assortment, you will also find relief at the cash register.  Flower prices have a tendency to fluctuate significantly from the fall through the spring, especially around holidays. Once Mother’s Day passes, flower farms drop their prices, which is a great time to find excellent deals on wedding flowers.

Vibrant and fun colors are frequently chosen for summer wedding flowers along with some of these popular types of flowers:

For fillers take advantage of the season to break away from the ordinary Baby’s Breath and Leather Leaf.  Explore these fillers and greens options for your summer wedding flowers:

Queen Anne’s Lace or Green Mist: Bells of Ireland:

Solidago: Aster Montecasino:

You may also want to consider the following as you ponder the types of summer wedding flowers that are right for you:

Beach weddings typically encompass softer colors including whites, blues and yellows.  Blue Hydrangea, white roses and yellow Gerbera Daisies are excellent options to consider.

Early summer weddings are a great time to incorporate various shades of pinks, lavender and purple into your decorations.  Roses are some of the most traditional wedding flowers because their striking color and effect are hard to match.

Late summer weddings can take advantage of the transition to autumn by incorporating warm colors, such as strong yellows, oranges and reds, into your bouquets and wedding flower arrangements.  Think along the lines of red and orange Gerbera Daisies, Roses, Sunflowers and Snapdragons.

Tropical themed weddings are also quite popular during the summer months.  Tropical flowers tend to have bold shapes and dazzling colors that stand as striking contrasts on a lush green background.

Finally, you will also want to contemplate the number of flower varieties you wish to use.  Some popular choices and combinations offered at The Grower’s Box include:

•    Roses
•    Calla Lilies (alone, paired with roses, Asiatic lilies, or orchids)
•    Gerbera Daisies (alone or paired with roses)
•    Dendrobium Orchids (alone or paired with roses)
•    Hydrangea (alone, paired with roses, or accenting other flowers)
•    Asiatic Lilies (alone or accenting other flowers)
•    Petite Sunflowers

If you are doing your own arrangements, many online wholesale flower suppliers offer wedding packages with a variety of popular combinations, in addition to letting you create your own.  For example, one popular package of mixed summer wedding flowers brings together:

•    Oriental Lilies (your choice of color)
•    Asiatic Lilies (your choice of color)
•    Tulips (your choice of color)
•    Gerbera Daisies (your choice of color)
•    Telstar Iris
•    Sunflowers
•    Snapdragons
•    Solidago
•    Bupleurum

Summer is excellent for weddings offering a huge selection of flower varieties and colors at the best prices of the year. In fact, there may be just a few too many choices, but with a little diligence you should be able to find the ideal summer wedding flowers for your big day.

Dear Grower’s Box

I want to thank you and the wonderful farmer who fulfilled my request to get lilies of the valley to my mother for her 70th birthday.  The flowers just arrived in Texas at my mom’s door step and she called the moment after opening them.  She was so happy.  Her grandfather had a big patch of lilies of the valley that grew in his yard.  She hasn’t seen her birthday flower since she was a young girl.  She told me that this was the most thoughtful gift she had been given.  I thank you again for making this possible.

You have made me any my 70 year old mama beyond happy!

All my best,
Kelley

I just wanted to let you know, once again, how thrilled I am with the Tulips I ordered from The Grower’s Box! The Tulips arrived early in the morning as you stated.  They are beautiful, as all of your flowers have been.

Thanks for another successful shipment!
