What’s bright and sunny and instantly day-changing? Plants and flowers, of course. Summer is that time of year when a whole host of seasonal favorites make their grand appearance, including dahlias, marigolds, sunflowers, ranunculus, and lavender. They’re all breathtaking in their own right, yet during summer they bring something truly special to the table — literally.
The beauty of adding a plant or a flower arrangement to your tablescape is that it creates an instant focal point. The Helios invites instant radiance to any space, its vibrant yellow color livening up the room with no effort at all. This sunflower bouquet is downright captivating!
Just as magical are other traditional summer colors, like orange, pink, violet, and green. Variations of these shades lend them a quintessentially warm-weather appropriate appearance, from soft blushes and apricots to pale violets and light mosses. Other summer-friendly colors include white, apricot, and blue. The James, for example, brims with multicolored bliss, and it’s a true feast incorporating juicy oranges, drops of ruby, hints of purple, and dashes of yellow into its mix.
Another fresh way to honor mother nature during summer? Bring some earthy dried arrangements into your world! The Val is a fabulous example of dry done right. Featuring fluffy bunny tails, including some that seem to glow in purple against their neutral beige backdrop, this arrangement is elaborate in the most understated way. For those who lack a green thumb or don’t have time to commit to sunflower plant care or other stems, a dried plant makes a smart alternative. It’s designed to last and last, so you never have to worry about tending to it.
