Summer Flowers

Freesias

Because there are many bell-shaped flowers on each stem, freesias have the perfect wildflower look. They are sweet and fragrant and look great when paired with greenery or bright white flowers. They are available in a range of colors, including white, yellow, orange, red, and pink, and purple. However, you can also find multicolored options.

Orchids

Orchids are a beautiful, sophisticated choice that has a modern twist. They come in many colors, and there are many varieties, including tiny orchids and huge orchids. Each variety can have a unique scent that ranges from pleasant to unpleasant. For wedding bouquets, white orchids are the most common. However, there are many shades of pink and purple.

If you are working within a budget, make sure to discuss pricing options with your florist. White says that each area has different availability. White says that some places are more costly because they need everything shipped to them. Orchids are no exception. Prices can vary from $1.50 up to $9 per stem.

Irises

Although irises are most commonly associated with bright, purplish colors, they also come in many beautiful shades, such as pink, yellow and white. Some varieties have an ombre or sunset coloring, which makes each stem beautiful and unique. While some varieties may not have any scent, others might emit a fruity aroma. White irises can be added to bouquets to add texture and some frill. This is similar to sweet pea. A standalone bouquet can also be beautiful and romantic for a romantic wedding. They are affordable for all budgets, costing between $1.50 and $2.50 per stem.

Dahlias

Dahlias can be a stunning addition to bouquets and centerpieces, thanks to their beautiful texture and variety of sizes. White says that these are the ideal July and August flowers. Although they don’t smell, they come in a wide range of colors: soft pinks to deep dark burgundies and bright oranges to simple white. They can be used to create a rustic look, or you can have them stand alone for a more refined look. Dahlias are a very popular flower. Unfortunately, their price range is $6.50 to $7 for a stem. But their beauty is well worth the cost.

Lisianthus

Although they are sometimes overlooked because they are often used as “filler blooms,” there are many beautiful varieties of lisianthus. Some varieties can almost be mistaken as roses because they are full and frilly. There are many options for every type of bouquet, including pinks, whites, greens, and even whites. Lisianthus flowers aren’t scented, so they’re great for sensitive noses. They typically cost $3.50 to $4.50 per stem.
