70 Summer brambleandbelle.co.uk and annamariestepney.co.uk ▼ “Peonies are very popular but only have a small widow of availability. Try to use waxy, textured flowers such as roses, orchids, garden roses and lilies. Steer clear of hydrangeas as these are difficult to keep hydrated in the summer months.” – Laura from Daisy Chain Florist. “Peonies are one of summer’s most beautiful flowers, but they have a relatively short shelf life and are at their best in late May to early July. Alternatively, delphiniums, sweet peas and roses in vibrant hues look amazing.” – Sue from Bramble and Belle. ▼ “Opt for garden roses, hydrangeas, stocks, larkspurs and lisianthuses.” – Johanna from Johanna Pedrick Flowers. ▼ ▼ “Combine exotic leaves and foliage with more classic styling to create a vibrant summer feel.” – Emily from Faux Bloom. ▼ “We’re seeing an explosion of colour this season with more brides choosing bright and bold hues. Look for peonies, hydrangeas, dahlias and nigellas. ” – Maxine from Chair Cover Dreams. “Opt for a country style bouquet made up of dahlias, lisianthuses, roses and eucalyptus greenery.” – Annabel from Butterflies & Bows. ▼ butterfliesandbows.co.uk chaircoverdreams.co.uk fauxbloomdesigns.com johannapedrickflowers.co.uk daisychain-florist.co.uk ▼ “Faux blue irises, scabious, foxgloves and cow parsley look realistic up-close and make stunning centrepieces. Caring for these silk blooms is easy, simply use a feather duster or a cool hairdryer to keep the dust at bay.” – Kate from Hedgerose & Honeysuckle. topiary-tree.co.uk hedgeroseandhoneysuckle.co.uk
