We all know that summer weddings are the most popular amongst brides and grooms in the UK. But before you walk down the aisle, both you and your wedding planner need to make sure that every part of your day is as beautiful as possible, including the finer details like your bouquets and table decorations. This is where we step in. At Memento Flowers, we really enjoy getting to play just a small part in our clients' weddings, so as we head into August, our expert florists have compiled this guide to the most stunning blooms for an August wedding.
Sunflowers
Nothing screams summer more than a sunflower does, which makes it perfect for a wedding in August. Ideal for a wedding with a rustic theme, sunflowers are surprisingly easy to coordinate with bridesmaid dresses, for example. We suggest pairing sunflowers with smaller flowers or dresses that have purple or light blue hues. This creates a strikingly vivid finish, without running the risk of appearing tacky or garish. Sunflowers are also ideal for cooling down the white tone of your bridal gown.
Calla Lilies
Made famous as the flowers used during Monica and Chandler’s wedding in the sitcom Friends, Calla Lilies create a real air of elegance. By using this bloom as the main feature in your bouquet, you're bound to radiate not just beauty, but also class. Easy to coordinate with lighter pinks or more pastel colours, Calla Lilies are a great option for those hoping to achieve a more vintage aesthetic.
Bouvardias
For something a little more unique, we suggest replicating the 'strawberries and cream' summer vibe by including the stunning Bouvardia into your bridal bouquet. When pink and white hues are arranged together, the little star shapes emit a delicateness that will add a truly feminine touch to your August wedding.
Dahlias
Dahlias will take centre stage in any August wedding bouquet. If you're tired of the overused bright colours, Dahlias are available in more burgundy or burnt orange tones that will scream romance just as well as any other flower. They're an ideal choice for your table decorations too and are easy to coordinate.
