A summer wedding in Dublin glows with joy, warmth, and colour. If chosen correctly, the perfect bridal bouquet can serve as a beautiful companion to your dress. It should capture the essence of the season itself. 

At Blooming Amazing Flower Company, we see every bouquet as a chance to showcase Irish summer's natural splendor, mixing vibrant colours with the freshest seasonal blooms available. 

We know what works best in Dublin’s summer light - whether you’re celebrating in a garden marquee or a city rooftop.

Why Choose Seasonal Blooms for Your Summer Wedding Bouquet?

Picking seasonal blooms at their natural peak for your summer bridal bouquet brings numerous benefits. In-season blooms burst with colour and vitality, creating perfect harmony with Dublin's summer landscape.  

They arrive fresher, require less transportation, and often cost less since they don't need special storage or long-distance shipping.

Unbeatable Freshness and Vibrancy

Summer flowers in their natural season display the richest colours, strongest fragrances, and most perfect forms. Harvested at their peak, they stay pristine for longer - keeping your bouquet picture-perfect.

Reflecting the Season's Beauty

Bouquets filled with seasonal flowers feel genuinely connected to your summer celebration. They mirror what's blooming in local gardens and meadows, enhancing your venue's natural atmosphere. 

Using what’s in bloom during June, July, or August gives your wedding a timeless sense of place and season.

Popular Summer Flowers for Dublin Brides

Irish summers offer an abundance of gorgeous blooms, each bringing unique character and colour options. Knowing which flowers thrive during this season helps create a truly spectacular bridal arrangement.

Classic Roses in Summer Shades

Roses always remain stylish, but summer brings special varieties. Soft pinks, peaches, corals, yellows, and creams become particularly striking, offering both romance and seasonal flair. 

These adaptable flowers pair beautifully with other summer favorites, forming the foundation of many bridal bouquets. We take special care to source only premium roses, ensuring each petal adds a touch of luxury to your arrangement.

Luxurious Peonies (Late Spring to Early Summer)

Brides adore peony roses for their lush, full blooms and subtle fragrance. Their peak season runs through April, May, and sometimes into June, making them perfect for early summer weddings. Available in shades from blush pinks to creamy whites and vibrant corals, peonies bring romance and abundance to any bouquet.

Elegant Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas add impressive volume and cloud-like softness. Their bold flower heads come in whites, blues, pinks, and greens, creating natural focal points. During Irish summers, hydrangeas bring freshness and subtle luxury, especially when combined with trailing greenery or textural elements.

Delicate Lisianthus

Lisianthus charms with ruffled petals and a graceful, rose-like appearance. Found in whites, pinks, and purples, these flowers add soft sophistication to summer bridal bouquets. Their gentle silhouette blends beautifully with both traditional and casual styling.

Cheerful Sunflowers

For couples wanting bold energy, sunflowers deliver an unmistakable burst of sunshine. Their rich golden tones work wonderfully in rustic, festival-inspired, or country-themed celebrations. While sunflowers make a statement, they fit best when they complement your overall wedding style and colour scheme.

Fragrant Summer Additions

Scent creates another dimension in bouquets. Sweet peas (particularly in early summer) fill arrangements with delicate perfume, while stocks offer rich, spicy notes. These aromatic additions create lasting sensory memories as you walk down the aisle.

Finding Your Summer Bouquet Style

Your bespoke bouquet should feel like a natural extension of your personality and wedding theme. Summer offers countless design possibilities, each creating its own mood and impact.

Wild and Natural Garden Style

A loose, garden-inspired bouquet looks freshly gathered from a summer meadow. This style typically includes textured foliage and elements like Astilbe or Scabiosa. It fits perfectly at outdoor venues and suits brides looking for relaxed, romantic vibes. The natural, asymmetrical shape captures summer's abundant growth.

Classic Elegance with Roses and Lilies

If tradition appeals to you, consider a rounded or cascading bouquet featuring roses and lilies for timeless elegance. Summer lilies add both fragrance and sophistication. These bouquets typically feature tighter structure, ideal for formal settings and classic bridal looks.

Bold and Vibrant Colour Bursts

Want to make a statement? Choose a bouquet packed with bright summer colours. Think vivid pinks, oranges, and yellows using Gerberas, colourful roses, or mixed seasonal flowers. This option perfectly suits vibrant personalities and venues that embrace joyful celebration.

Perfect Palettes – Choosing Colours for Your Summer Bouquet

Your colour choices set the tone for your entire wedding. Let summer inspire your palette, from soft pastels to brilliant brights.

Soft Pastels and Blushes

Pale pinks, peaches, ivories, and lavender create gentle, romantic vibes. These tones pair beautifully with delicate flowers like peonies and lisianthus, resulting in bouquets that feel light and graceful. Soft palettes work wonderfully for classic or garden-themed celebrations.

Sunny Yellows and Oranges

For a cheerful, energetic statement, mix yellows, oranges, and corals. Sunflowers, Gerberas, and golden roses combine to create bouquets radiating pure happiness. This palette shines in outdoor settings or for couples who want to capture high summer's joyful spirit.

Cool Whites, Creams, and Greens

An all-white or cream bouquet accented with varied green foliage creates a fresh, sophisticated look. This combination brings a sense of calm and offers beautiful visual contrast to summer heat. Hydrangeas, white roses, and lisianthus all look stunning in this palette.

How to Keep Your Summer Bouquet Fresh on the Day

Warm weather creates extra challenges for keeping bouquets looking perfect from morning until night. Professional florists have developed techniques, including the use of high-quality flower food, to ensure every stem stays vibrant throughout your day.

• Trust Your Florist's Preparation

At Blooming Amazing Flower Company, we carefully condition every flower before arranging. This process maximizes vase life and helps blooms withstand the demands of your wedding day. Our team applies proven techniques to preserve freshness, giving you one less thing to worry about.

• Keep Cool Before the Ceremony

Store your bouquet in water in a shaded, well-ventilated space until photo time or the ceremony. Avoid direct sunlight or stuffy rooms that can cause wilting or colour fading.

• Gentle Handling

Treat your bouquet with care. Hold it lightly by the stems, avoiding pressure on flower heads or delicate petals. Even the sturdiest design can lose its perfect look if squeezed too tightly or dropped.
