Many brides will be walking down the aisle this summer because who can resist the classic strapless dresses, the romantic summer breezes and, most importantly, all of the beautiful floral options available this time of year.

Bright colors are everywhere this season. From pinks, to purples, to orange and peach tones, there are so many wonderful choices for brides to make. Dahlia’s are always a popular choice because they come in a variety of shapes and colors. Dahlia’s add vibrancy to any bouquet, or floral arrangement and stand up well in the heat!

Roses are also perfect for summer, but forget your idea of the traditional red rose and experiment with the many colors and varieties that are in abundance. Garden Roses, like the Yves Piaget, make the perfect replica of peonies, which is the most popular wedding flowers by far, yet is not in season in summer. They are also more cost effective than peonies

If you are planning a wedding this summer, I encourage you to think dahlia’s and roses to set a colorful stage for your special day.
