Summer Must-Haves for Your Flower Shop

This summer, embrace the floral designs that evoke warm sunny days, vibrant green fields, coral and saturated orange sunsets, and aromatic scents.

Trendy summer wedding flowers this season grace us with tenderness and high spirits of coral, mellow and delightful buttery yellows, stimulating bright greens, and electrifying blues.

Here are some must-haves for your flower shops this summer:

Diverging from last year’s provocative and thoughtful Ultra Violet, Pantone Color Institute has chosen the color of this year to be Living Coral - embodying optimism, quest for joy and courage, as well as playful expression.

Coral is a lovely color for flower arrangements in garden-themed weddings, vintage weddings, beach weddings, summer and fall weddings, and other celebratory events.

Grace your shop with floral beauties like Rudbeckia ‘Sahara’, Lisianthus ‘Peach’, Coral Phalaenopsis Orchid, Dahlia Linda’s Baby, Salmon colored Dendrobium Orchids, Sunflower ‘Strawberry Blonde’, and roses such as Coral, Fragrant Cloud and Tropicana.

Because Living Coral is a cocktail of juicy peach and a bit of blush, mixed with the right blooms, foliage, and accents, flowers in this color can effortlessly create various themes.

Beautiful options for budget friendly arrangements are button chrysanthemums, cornflower, daisies, larkspur, roses, spider chrysanthemums, stock and sunflower.

More expensive summer flowers include zinnias, peonies, orchids, lace cap hydrangeas, cymbidium orchids, dahlias, anemones and celosia.

Innocent and sweet whites are another must-have for a floral boost; so make sure you have flowers like Aida White, Dahlia Petra's Wedding and Deutzia Magical Spring in your shop.

And, of course, don’t forget to stock up on Filler Stems in a variety of exciting colors to round out a bouquet.

A summer trend that continues to endure is adding lush greenery to an outdoor or indoor celebration – it transforms any space into a stunning and lively environment.

Foliage adds beautiful texture and movement to an arrangement and is a must have for 2019 displays. Tropical leaves, such as croton, galax, papyrus, areca palm, elephant ear leaves and winding passionflower vine will create a tropical island feel.

Succulents and air plants is another natural trend in the wedding and floral design scene that still stands strong, with Terrarium Moss color capturing the serene beauty of nature.

So, compliment your flower store by having succulents and succulent terrariums displayed around your flower shop showroom. Succulents are sought out by a large demographic of consumers and make great gifts for men and women alike.

Finally, add beautiful green plants to some unique planters - they are so popular that introducing this trend could really benefit your business. For instance, Zinc wall hanging planters and wall scape planters will surely attract customers and impulse buys. Grays and whites are the most popular colors for planters, in flowing shapes and eccentric organic looks.
