There’s something magical about the first days of summer. The sunlight feels warmer, the days grow longer, and nature seems to stretch and yawn into full bloom.
At Florist Marketplace, this is when our studio fills with golden light and even brighter flowers, sunflowers, solidago, button poms, and hypericum berries are just a few of our favorite seasonal picks.
When we designed our Sunny Sunflowers Bouquet, we wanted to capture that exact energy. It’s bold. It’s joyful. And it brings a little slice of sunshine straight to your table.
Why Sunflowers Are the Ultimate Summer Flower
Sunflowers are often the first flower that comes to mind when people think of summer. They’re iconic. Their bright yellow petals naturally follow the sun throughout the day, making them a perfect symbol for warmth, happiness, and optimism.
We love working with sunflowers not just for their visual impact, but for how they elevate the mood in a space. We’ve seen customers walk into our studio after a hard day and completely light up when they see a fresh sunflower arrangement. It’s like the flowers do the cheering up for us.
Seasonal Favorites to Pair with Sunflowers
In our Sunny Sunflowers Bouquet, we pair the sunflowers with a few other seasonal highlights that deserve their own applause.
-
Yellow button poms: These little round blooms add charm and texture without stealing the spotlight.
-
Solidago (Goldenrod): Their soft, branching blooms fill in the spaces and add that wild, sunlit feel.
-
Hypericum berries: Their deep red adds the perfect contrast to the yellow, creating that late summer-to-early-fall color bridge.
-
Variegated greens: To round out the design, we use a mix of leafy textures that keep everything feeling full, fresh, and grounded.
Why This Mix Works
One of our guiding principles when arranging flowers is balance. You want variety in size, shape, and color, but you also want harmony. This particular arrangement offers everything you’d want in a summer centerpiece, height, color play, texture, and flow.
From a design standpoint, we chose flowers that are both heat-tolerant and long-lasting. This makes it a practical choice for summer delivery or events where the flowers need to stay fresh longer, even in warmer conditions.
When to Send It
This bouquet is popular for all kinds of reasons. It works great for:
-
Housewarmings: Especially with new homeowners in the summer.
-
Birthdays: A cheerful and bold choice, especially for June and July babies.
-
Thank-you gifts: When words aren’t enough, flowers can say it for you.
-
Corporate gestures: Bright but still polished enough for a professional setting.
-
Just because: Honestly, this is one of our most “just because” orders. People love gifting sunshine for no reason at all.
How Our Customers Use It
We recently had a regular client stop by to grab this bouquet for her neighbor who had been helping water her plants during a vacation.
It was a simple thank-you, but the moment she saw the finished bouquet, she asked us to make another one for herself. That’s the power of this design, it doesn’t just brighten rooms, it brightens moods too.
Florals That Feel Like Summer
We always encourage our customers to shop seasonally. Not only are in-season flowers more affordable and fresh, but they’re also easier to source locally, which is more sustainable.
This bouquet is a summer showcase. It doesn’t try to be soft or subtle, it’s a full celebration of sunshine and summer joy. You could easily picture it at a weekend brunch table, a backyard dinner party, or on the reception desk of a local business. It’s a conversation starter and a mood booster.
