There is so much choice in the summer flower garden, it’s useful to categorise varieties based on what they bring to floral design. For example, for delicate wispy textures, there’s love-in-a-mist (aka Nigella); cornflowers, borage flowers and astrantia, while papery blooms like cosmos, scabious and poppies bring a light and airy feel to your summer bridal bouquet. Here we’ve used baby blue sweetpeas and butterfly ranunculi to accompany Keira, emulating cabbage white butterflies fluttering amongst her fragrant rose blooms along the length of the table centrepiece. Finally, let’s not forget herbs like rosemary, mint and lavender for infusing your flowers with yet more delicious scents.

Large rounded flowers like roses and dahlias are statement summer focal flowers, while tall grasses bring movement and spires like larkspur, foxgloves and delphiniums bring much-needed height to large designs like flower urn arrangements. For lacy textures, we love ammi, dill flowers and wild carrot (daucus carota), while climbing varieties like clematis, jasmine, passionflower and honeysuckle bring a beautiful trailing quality to floral designs. There’s certainly no shortage of choice in summer and your florist will be able to help you refine your options based on your colour palette and wedding style.
