  1. You don't need a garden to enjoy beautiful summer flowers all summer long

Flowers manage to cheer up any space where they are placed. From the impressive colors to the fresh and unmistakable scent, they always bring a smile to women's lips. Many of these would like to have a garden or a yard precisely to be able to plant flowers to enjoy during the summer months, but, due to the lack of space, they cannot do this.

Well, besides the many flowers that can be planted in pots and kept on the balcony or in a bright room, there is always the option of choosing a floral arrangement to break the monotony of the home. These arrangements are most often given as a gift on special occasions, but they can also be given to a friend who would love to have a splash of color in her home, or why not, you can give them to yourself!

Some people prefer floral arrangements that have an elegant air, while others love arrangements that seem to be made "on the fly", although behind them is the work and knowledge of an experienced florist. You can choose a bouquet of flowers in your favorite colors or flowers that will fit into the decor of a certain room, either because of the complementary color or by creating a contrast with the rest of the decorative elements. So, regardless of whether you like bouquets of roses or bouquets of hydrangeas , you have a generous palette of colors to choose from.

2. What are the most beautiful summer flowers that we use in our bouquets?

Summer flowers and bouquets made in this season are characterized by a special freshness, colors that bring to mind warm vacation days, but also modern lines, which form a visual continuum between all the components of a bouquet.

Regardless of whether we are talking about hydrangeas, roses, freesias or lilies, their color matters a lot for the final result. It is, in addition, one of the main selection criteria both regarding bouquets bought to be given to another person as a gift, and regarding bouquets offered as a gift to one's own person. From yellow roses to purple hydrangeas and pink lilies, the colors of flowers in the warm season are extremely varied, capturing the attention of even the most pretentious people.

2.1. Purple summer flowers

This color is always linked to the concept of elegance, to that of royalty. In addition, it is associated with mystery, spirituality, but also with success. Purple flowers always look good when they are placed in a bouquet because they provide a point of contrast, which makes the bouquet take on a special air.

For example, a bouquet of pink and blue hydrangeas is completed by purple hydrangeas, visually balancing the result.

A bouquet of roses, orchids and lisianthus, with a dominant red color, will get, in turn, a new point of interest when a purple rose is also placed.

If you want to give purple flowers as a gift, the color is appropriate when you celebrate a certain achievement (either on a personal or professional level) or when you want to show your admiration for someone.

2.2. White summer flowers

White summer flowers are most often associated with purity, delicacy and innocence, but, in the right combinations, they become feminine, even warm. They are perfect when you want to give someone a bouquet that conveys elegance, but without romantic connotations (as is the case with red roses).

White can be used in bouquets as the only color, to obtain a strong contrast with colored flowers or to create a bouquet that conveys gentleness and femininity. A good example is the bouquet below with hydrangeas, peonies and astilbe, which combines the purity of white with the femininity of pastel pink.

Another variant with a feminine air, but which puts more emphasis on roses, is the bouquet with white roses and wax. It also has a more rounded shape, compared to the bouquet above, being suitable for people who value orders or who like simple and well-defined shapes.

For a slightly more colorful result, a bouquet of hydrangeas, lilies and delphinium will be able to delight the eyes of the recipient for a long time. Moreover, the unmistakable smell of lilies will fill the room where the bouquet will be placed.

2.3. Blue summer flowers

Blue flowers bring to mind serenity, the quiet of summer days, the sea or the clear sky. With a calming effect, they manage to convey the idea of ​​trust, being the perfect choice when you want to convey this feeling to someone or when you thank them for being with you at a certain more difficult point in your life.

A bouquet of blue, purple and white hydrangeas is suitable if you don't want an arrangement made entirely of blue flowers. These colors form a beautiful contrast, and the spherical shape conveys the feeling of fulfillment.

Blue hydrangeas can also be used in combination with roses, resulting in a playful arrangement, perfect for the holidays. The use of blue together with yellow manages to communicate the image of a sunny day, with a clear sky and a lot of relaxation.

2.4. Other spectacular colors of summer flowers

The three colors above are the main choices when it comes to summer flower colors, but there are a few more that you need to consider before making a choice:

• pink

As I pointed out above, pink flowers are the perfect symbol of femininity, but also of grace and, depending on the intensity of the color, of refinement and delicacy. Roses, hydrangeas, lilies and freesias come in a multitude of tones and shades, from pastel pink to intense pink.

• yellow

Yellow flowers have been appreciated since ancient times, being associated with abundance and the sun. They continue to be associated with these things today, to which is added a feeling of joy and freedom. Due to the intense color, yellow flowers are a perfect choice when you want to cheer someone up. A bouquet of yellow roses will bring a smile to anyone's face!

If you prefer a bouquet that has in its composition flowers of several colors, yellow can be successfully combined with a warm shade of red, creating a balanced contrast. Bouquets containing flowers of several colors must be made taking into account the stylistic principles, in order to obtain an aesthetically pleasing result.

You will not be able to make a mistake even if you choose flowers in complementary colors. Thus, a bouquet that includes both yellow and purple flowers will easily become one of your favorite bouquets!

The sunflower, perhaps the most beloved flower of the warm season, is also of special beauty. Due to its simplicity, it can easily be placed in an elegant box, without the result being too distinguished. It is, therefore, an inspired choice for informal occasions.

• red

The symbolism behind this color is perhaps the most well-known of all. It is associated with love, desire and power, being, therefore, the preferred choice of gentlemen who want to offer a bouquet to their girlfriends or wives.

The most popular red flower is, without a doubt, the rose, recognized worldwide as a symbol of love . Being a summer flower, it can be offered this season, especially when the roses are arranged by an experienced florist, who knows how to really make them stand out.

It can, in addition, be combined with lighter colored flowers to obtain a bouquet that conveys more the idea of ​​femininity and appreciation, than that of love.

3. Summer flower bouquets perfect for any occasion

Summer flowers are perfect to make bouquets for special occasions , for business events, but also to be offered on an informal occasion, just to make a nice gesture towards someone and to bring them joy.

Depending on the occasion on which they are to be given, you will opt either for an elegant arrangement, or for a somewhat simpler and unpretentious arrangement. You can consider the symbolism of each color separately, but many people choose a bouquet based on the aesthetic charm of the flowers and the harmony between them, and the symbolism is left aside.

Our recommendation is that when you are going to offer flowers for a special occasion, in a formal event, to take into account the symbolism of the colors. But, for informal occasions, you can make the choice taking into account only the aesthetic side.

4. From traditional pots to boxes and baskets with summer flowers

The classic shape of the pots can be replaced with something more elegant and contemporary to continue the line of a modern design. The boxes we use can be white or black, depending on your preferences. Of course, the florist's advice is also important, because certain flowers are better displayed in a black box, while other flowers will look more elegant in a white box. You can see the differences in the following pictures.

Flowers in baskets are another option you can choose when you want to give someone summer flowers in a special arrangement. They are especially appreciated by women who like the rustic style. Such a basket will look surprisingly good in a living room decorated in this style of interior design. As in the case of boxes, take into account the florist's recommendation regarding the choice of the color of the basket to ensure that the final result will be one that will meet your expectations.

The colors of summer flowers can be highlighted very well when they are placed in special boxes or baskets for arrangements of this type. Roses, hydrangeas and freesias are just some of the flowers suitable for these containers.

5. Two slightly more unusual arrangement ideas for the flowers of the summer season

If you want something more unique in terms of floral arrangements, two perfect options are flowers offered in a bag or those offered in a book. Besides the fact that they easily become decorative elements, they are also excellent in the case of a summer photo session.

Moreover, they are perfect gifts for fashion lovers or for those who spend a lot of time among books. For example, a box with hydrangeas, peonies and colorful roses can be placed on the bookshelf and will cheer up the whole room.

6. Correct care of summer flowers to keep them blooming for as long as possible

If you want the summer flowers to last as long as possible, regardless of the container in which they are placed (vase, box, basket, bag or book), you have to follow some simple tips:

• The tail of each individual flower must be cut obliquely before being placed in the vase or in the arrangement, to allow better hydration. If you took the bouquet from a modern flowering, you don't have to worry about this aspect.
• Change the water at least every two days, because dirty water will speed up the wilting process. You can even change the water every morning.
• Place the floral arrangement in a place protected from direct sunlight, because its rays, especially in the warm months, can burn the tender petals of the flowers.
• If you have a cooler area in your home, the flowers should be placed there to increase their lifespan.

After the flowers dry, you can keep them in the same container or in a decorative vase, as they will no longer need water. This type of decorative element is starting to be more and more appreciated and offers you the opportunity to continue enjoying the wonderful summer flowers, even though they have lost their shine.

Whether you prefer the explosion of colors of flowers with strong shades, or whether you prefer flowers in slightly more pastel shades, during the warm season you have a wide range to choose from. Just because you don't have space to plant your own flowers, doesn't mean you can't enjoy them! If we have piqued your curiosity, you can read more about flowers in our blog section.
