Whether you’re heading to the beach, savoring days off or just soaking up the sunshine, summertime reminds us to slow down and breathe deeply. Summer is in full bloom– and it’s the perfect time to bring a bit of the outdoors in.
Summer is nature’s most expressive season, with some of the most recognizable blooms: sunflowers stretching up to the sky, dahlias blooming in every size and color, and peonies unfolding into gorgeous ruffles. Throughout the season, you might also spot hydrangeas, poppies, garden roses, bellflowers, gardenias and daisies– each with their own seasonal charm. Beyond the familiar favorites, there are even summer wildflowers right in our own backyard. New Jersey is home to native summer blooms like indigo bush, yellow giant hyssop, bluebell bellflower, partridge pea and white turtlehead.
With their variety of colors and textures, summer flowers can re-shape the entire atmosphere of a room. Bright arrangements energize a space, while softer palettes can create a sense of calm. Plus, when you choose local, in-season flowers, arrangements will look their freshest and support local businesses and growers.
From calming ocean-inspired palettes to bright citrus tones, seasonal florals help capture the feeling of summer right in your home– and our summer arrangements are ready for the season. Summer doesn’t last forever, but a few beautiful blooms can help you savor it while it’s here.
