Summer sun and wedding fun!
Summer is a popular choice for many couples to tie the knot.
If you’re looking for summer wedding flowers, check out our top 5 summer wedding favourites below;
Hydrangea
Big and beautiful, hydrangea can be used en masse or mixed with other flowers for a beautiful, bountiful addition to your wedding. We love hydrangea’s versatility in bouquets, arches, flower towers and more! It really packs a visual punch and it lasts the distance across your big day.
Locally available: Sept-May
Colours: white, pink, purple, blue, greens, and mottled antique colours in autumn
Dahlia
With so many local growers in the greater Geelong region, it’s one of our summer wedding favourites here at Prim Petal Co. Big, blousy and bright, dahlia is an ultimate summer bloom for your wedding bouquet - heady hot days are not their friend however - with their delicate petals, as a cut flower it's best to keep dahlia in the shade and hydrated as much as possible!
Locally available: Dec-April
Colours: white, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple/burgundy
Cosmos
Light and whimsical, cosmos is much requested wedding bloom and a firm favourite here at Prim Petal Co. These babies dance above other flowers or play well on their own. They love need to flower, so summer brides, cosmos really made just for you! But to note cosmos is a delicate lady, and too much time cut and out of water means she'll droop on particularly hot sunny days (something to keep in mind!)
Locally available: Nov-April
Colours: white, yellow, pink, burgundy/brown
Amaranthus
This darling really brings the drama to a summer wedding! Available in upright or hanging varieties, amaranthus is a textural and visual delight. Create height in arches or flower towers with the upright variety or draped the hanging variation from bouquets, stands or tables. Amaranthus will draw you in and you’ll never want to let it go!
Locally available: Dec-April
Colours: pink, coral, bronze/orange, burgundy
Zinnia
These bright colour bombs pack a visual punch in any wedding flower selection. They're sturdy blooms that can hold up out of water and we love their ability to play alongside other summer blooms like dahlia and cosmos to create the ultimate summer wedding flower look.
Locally available: Dec-April
Colours: yellow, orange, peach, pink, purple, red green/lime
