Atlanta National Summer Wedding

We are always aware of the seasons when we create a design plan for wedding and party flowers. What is in season is typically more economical but it is practical for other reasons too.




For example, picking flowers that hold up in the heat of summer is always a challenge. It is much easier to choose the blooms that would be thriving in higher temperatures in the garden as they grow. Summer Dahlias are delicate but hold their own, roses are tough and stand up well out of water if properly handled as well.

An unusual element to add to your wedding would be succulents. They have great natural colors and make striking and organic designs for boutonnieres and bouquets.



Callas are a perfect choice year round for hand tied bouquets because they do so well out of water. They are available year round but they are a particularly wise choice for hot days.






A truly elegant use of sedum in a bouquet. Here we have dahlias, mini cynbidium orchids, roses and snowberries. The snowberries are available only very late in summer, closer to fall.
