The Best Flower Arrangements For Summer: Floral Designs For Every Style

A vase of vibrant summer flowers can easily brighten up any room. While having to pick from hundreds of flowers in an even bigger selection of colors may seem daunting, finding the perfect summer flower display for your home can be simple and fun. By selecting the appropriate colors and theme for your home's style, floral arrangements are the perfect way to add a touch of color and life to any room.

Country: For homes with quaint, country style, pick a warm and welcoming floral arrangement to match. This style should be loose and casual, reflecting the mood of its theme.

• Bunch favorites like sunflowers, daises and lavender with subtle, soft greenery around the edges.
• Use a watering can, metal pail or wicker basket as the perfect country vase, in a color that compliments the room where the arrangement will be placed.
• Use blue or red checkered ribbons tied around the pail, can or basket to add a final country touch.

Modern: For the contemporary or modern styled home, one flower remains the classic choice. Orchids offer both the beauty of nature and the structure of art- a perfect combination for modern houses.

• With their long, clean stems and intricate shapes, these flowers can look more like colorful statues than just floral arrangements.
• Place several orchids with tall green reeds in a clear glass vase for an ultra-modern take on summer florals.
• Orchids are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, from solid white to yellow and pink stripes. Select a color and pattern that complement the colors of the room in which they will be placed.

Summer Roses: Roses are one of the most popular choices for flower arrangements and are often associated with holidays, celebrations and special occasions.

• For a distinctive summer rose arrangement, avoid common colors like red or white.
• Select roses in bright orange, yellow, coral, salmon and gold to emphasize a warm, bright summer feel.
• Use clear vases for a classic rose bouquet feel, or try a solid earth tone vase in brown, gold or beige to further the warm summer theme.

Tropical: One of the best ways to celebrate summer with floral arrangements is to decorate with tropical flowers. Colorful, fragrant and classically summer, these arrangements can make any room feel closer to the tropics.

• Tropical classics like bird of paradise, hibiscus, pink and orange lilies and orchids make great summer arrangements when combined, or on their own.
• Use dark brown or black vases and pots to resemble exotic lava rock.
• Bright tropical flower arrangements are a great addition to kitchens, living rooms and outdoor dining areas during summer parties.

Romantic Cottage: For a more traditional summer flower arrangement, try the romantic cottage theme. Soft colors make this floral design a great pick for subtly decorated homes without the dramatic flair of modern or tropical themes.

• Use lightly colored pink, salmon, white and yellow roses. Avoid brighter variations to retain the soft, romantic feel.
• Carnations and chrysanthemums in similarly soft colors mix well with roses, and should be surrounded by light touches of greenery around the edges.
• Pink, white or light blue ribbons wrapped around a clear or solid colored vase complete the romantic look of this flower arrangement.

Beach: Whether you live by the sea or simply want to, a summer beach themed floral arrangement brings the ocean indoors with soft blues, whites and tans.

• Blue hydrangeas are a common beach wedding flower, and provide the perfect soft, ocean blue shade for a summer arrangement.
• Roses can also be dyed blue and pair well with other white, ivory and soft yellow roses.
• Place flowers in a glass vase and adorn with sea shells for a relaxed beach theme.
• Beach arrangements work well in bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor sitting areas, but can fit nicely in any beach themed room.

Finding the best summer flower arrangement for your home can be easy. Decide on a style, choose flower and vase colors that blend well with your décor, and enjoy the bright, fragrant addition of summer's best floral designs.
