5 Ways to Celebrate with Summer Flowers

Summer is here! The days are long, the sun is shining, and nature is bursting with vibrant color. At Bedford Village Flower Shoppe, we believe this season of warmth and abundance is the perfect time to infuse your life with the joy and beauty of summer flowers. 

More than just pretty accents, these blooms can transform everyday moments into celebrations. Here are five delightful ways to celebrate and uplift your surroundings with summer flowers:

1. Host a Summer Garden Party (Indoors or Out!)

Even if you don’t have a sprawling garden, you can bring the garden party vibe to your space. Create a stunning centerpiece for your dining table using lush hydrangeas, cheerful sunflowers, or vibrant zinnias. Place smaller coordinating arrangements on side tables or scatter single blooms in bud vases around the room. For an outdoor setting, consider hardy flowers that can withstand the heat, or strategically place arrangements in shaded areas. The goal is to create an atmosphere of effortless summer elegance that invites lingering and conversation.

2. Brighten Your Home with Weekly Seasonal Bursts

Elevate your everyday living by treating yourself (or a loved one!) to a fresh bouquet of seasonal summer flowers each week. Place a bright arrangement of gerbera daisies in your kitchen for an instant mood booster, or a fragrant bunch of peonies in your living room. The ever-changing display of fresh blooms will add a dynamic touch of color and life to your home, reflecting the abundance of the season. It’s a simple luxury that makes a big difference in your daily well-being.

3. Elevate Your Outdoor Living Spaces

Your patio, deck, or porch isn’t just for grilling – it’s an extension of your living space! Use vibrant potted plants like colorful petunias, fuchsia, or impatiens to define seating areas or add a pop of color to corners. Hanging baskets overflowing with summer annuals can create a welcoming vertical display. For an evening gathering, floating candles amidst loose flower heads in a shallow bowl of water can add a magical touch. Transform your outdoor areas into inviting oases perfect for summer evenings.

4. Create Thoughtful “Just Because” Gifts

Summer is a time for spontaneous joy. Use the season’s abundant blooms to craft thoughtful “just because” gifts. A small, charming bouquet of cosmos or coreopsis for a neighbor, a single perfect sunflower for a friend who needs a pick-me-up, or a miniature potted succulent with a vibrant bloom for a colleague. These unexpected gestures, enhanced by the natural beauty of summer flowers, can forge deeper connections and spread genuine warmth. It’s a simple way to celebrate the people in your life, just because you can.

5. Capture Memories with Floral Photo Opportunities

Summer offers incredible natural light and lush backdrops, perfect for photography. Incorporate beautiful summer flowers into your photos to create stunning memories. Use a vibrant bouquet as a prop for family portraits, create a floral arch for a special event, or simply capture the exquisite detail of a single bloom in your garden. These floral elements will add texture, color, and a sense of timeless beauty to your summer recollections, allowing you to cherish the splendor of the season long after it fades.
