The best gift? A bunch of summer flowers!
Summer flowers make everybody happy. So, there is no better gift than a radiant bouquet of summer flowers. How about a cheerful mix of dahlias, gladioli, callas, irises, or lilies? Great to receive and to give!
Happy vibes
Summer flowers are so radiant with their intense colors. They invite you to create extravagant bouquets, but of course you can also go for just one brilliant color. A bouquet of summer flowers is a real eye-catcher, even if you choose natural tones. This makes it very easy to have a summer bouquet made to match the interior of the recipient. If you have no idea what to give, a brightly colored bouquet is a welcome guest at any party!
Tip: one or more fragrant flowers in your bouquet, for example lilies, will make your bouquet even more festive.
Casually arranged
You probably already have a suitable vase at home for your summer bouquet. A simple glass vase, for example, works well (this also lets you easily see if the water is still clean). Vintage ceramic vases are on trend – with or without folkloric prints. Arrange the flowers casually in the vase for a natural and perfectly summery effect. A collection of small vases – with one flower in each vase – is also always fun and very easy to create.
Tips & ideas
- Got wedding plans? A picking bouquet of dahlias also makes for a stunning bridal bouquet.
- If you have bought or been given summer flowers, don’t put them next to a fruit bowl: ripening fruit gives off ethylene, an ageing substance that also ages flowers.
- Otherwise, the well-known tips for flower care apply: cut a piece off the stems and put your bouquet in a squeaky-clean vase with clean water and cut flower food. Make sure there are no leaves submerged in the water, so you can enjoy your flowers for longer.
