Getting married in the summer is a big temptation for couples who want a colourful day where the light makes the photos stand out, and who naturally dream of a stunning, paradisiacal setting. The desire to include fruits and flowers in the wedding decorations also attracts couples who want to say yes to each other in the summer, and it is undeniable that these choices result in impeccable, colourful, intense and very joyful decorations. However, it is important to realise that every decision must be made taking into account the seasonality of the products: several choices depend on the right choice for each season, and this also applies to the queens of decoration: flowers.
They are the ones that bring that certain something to the environment, in addition to the colours and fragrances, their beauty raises the energy of a day full of magic. That’s why today we’re going to show you the most suitable types for decoration and bouquets, which are also suitable for summer ceremonies. Be inspired by so much beauty!
Wildflowers
When thinking about choosing flowers for the wedding, remember that there are no restrictions on a particular species or format, but it is up to the couple to follow their personal taste and maintain their identity. The only thing to look for when choosing flower types is their resistance to the elements. If the decoration proposal was for the rustic style, where materials such as wood will be very present, the country flowers in shades of purple, orange and burgundy, for example, along with silver and copper accessories, will fit the context. We choose wildflowers that are more resistant to high temperatures:
- Mosquito
- Angelica
- Chrysanthemum
- Gerbera
- Sunflower
- Alstroemeria
Exotic flowers
If the conventional doesn’t suit the couple’s preferences, follow your instincts and look for alternatives that suit your needs. The idea is always to create a special charm with species that are at the peak of their beauty but can also withstand high temperatures, including some arrangements that will still be whole in the new home.
Adapting tastes with species that are suitable for summer ensures that compositions last until the end of the festive season. Arrangements with flowers that have different shapes bring originality and can be placed in crystal or glass containers that show off the beauty of another flower. Differentiated flower ideas to get away from the basics and create fancy arrangements:
- Lisianthus
- Proteas
- Snapdragon
- Dahlias
- Bromeliads
- Heliconias
- Succulents
Classic flowers
Have you always imagined getting married like a king and living your day like a fairytale? Then follow your nature with this elegant and sophisticated style when choosing flowers for your wedding too. The desire for traditional floral arrangements expresses the classic side of the couple and can be adapted to noble species that defy fashions and trends, that stand on an exclusive pedestal and that make them “immortal”. These are:
- Camellias
- Roses
- Carnations
- Milk glass
- Lilies
Some precautions should also be remembered when choosing the right flowers for the hot summer climate. Avoiding direct sunlight is essential, and if this is not possible because you have opted for an outdoor ceremony, try not to put the flowers in the arrangements until everything starts, so that they have more time to refresh. To give the bouquets more moisture, we also recommend keeping the stems in water for up to an hour before the ceremony. As you can see, there is no shortage of flowers for summer weddings and they will certainly guarantee an explosion of colour and beauty for your day!
