Cool flowers to get you through summer
If you don't have much of a garden, balcony, or patio space, then you might feel like the beauty of summer is just out of reach. Fortunately, your local florist has you covered! With an abundant selection available during these warm months, you can be sure that there is always something to suit your style and budget. Should you find yourself retreating to your home to escape the heat, you can turn your home into an oasis with fresh cut flowers.
The first thing to remember is to always ask your florist for seasonal flowers. Flowers that bloom in the summer months are far more resistant to warmer temperatures which means that the heat will not make them wilt as easily as those that are imported or grown out of season.
Summer flowers are known for being bright and bold in colour and shape. You can expect for your summer flower arrangement to make a statement and steal the show no matter where you choose to display them. Spring is best reserved for pastel shades whereas summer flower arrangements can consist of more striking colours and corals.
If you want to give your home a cooler feel during the warm months, you should shop around for purple, blue, or even white bouquets. You could ask your florist to combine two or more of these colours. Cool colours have a calming effect and they have a way of making us feel cooler too.
Should you want flowers that last longer than a couple of weeks, you could opt for silk flowers or a potted plant like an orchid. Again, choose the right colour for your home, preferences, and to create the desired atmosphere. Both potted plants and artificial flowers last long. The former requires regular care whereas the latter will only need to be kept out of sunlight, away from heat, and dusted from time to time.
No matter which form of floral décor you choose this summer, make sure that you shop around for the best quality and prices. Affordable flowers are just a click away thanks to online florists!
