How to choose flowers for your summer wedding
For any self-respecting bouquet and flower arrangement, the seasonality of flowers must first be considered. Therefore, the choice becomes much more specific for your summer wedding: in the hottest and most awaited season of the year, nature gives us a great variety of flowers to create colourful compositions that smell of summer. Here is Villa Orsini’s advice to guide you in this choice.
Classic and timeless style
Flowers for a classic, summer wedding are white, hardy and refined. In addition to flowers that can be found all year round, such as roses, orchids, carnations and lilies, peonies, magnolias and jasmine are also a classic and tasteful choice. These flowers are not only used for bouquets, but also for decorations: the lily is suitable for adorning altars, churchyards, reception decorations, bridesmaids’ hair or wrists; while jasmine is perfect for decorating walls, outdoor gazebos or the wedding arch. It is a climbing flower and therefore very adaptable for arrangements, especially for outdoor spaces, the most popular for summer weddings.
Bucolic wedding
The simple, dreamy style immersed in the greenery of nature is perfect for couples who know the true value of simplicity. As far as the bucolic style is concerned, the primacy is held by wild flowers, such as sunflowers, which perfectly withstand the heat of the summer sun, recalling with their intense yellow the beautiful season and the liveliness of July or August weddings. Together with lavender, it is the most widely used flower for bucolic weddings in midsummer. The latter, with its intense perfume, recalls the fields of southern France, the countryside and simplicity. Finally, we propose the broom: a rustic yet regal flower that traditionally transmits good fortune, joy and happiness, much loved by the Druids for propitiatory rites in the nights preceding a wedding.
Tropical compositions for a chic event
For a modern and sumptuous style, an optimal summer solution are exotic flowers that make the rooms look chic and colourful. Floral arrangements can take on modern, eye-catching shapes such as rectangular and triangular geometric shapes or expand in height. Some of the main options are: anthurium, the tropical flower par excellence, whose heart shape makes it slender and suitable for creating movement for floral arrangements; alstroemeria, the symbol of the victory of goodness for the ancient Incas, as well as true love. It is a flower reminiscent of the lily, for its elegance and resistance to heat. Finally, let us mention hibiscus: the flower that enhances women’s hair in Gauguin’s paintings, immediately recalling the islands of the Pacific Ocean, coral reefs and white beaches.
