Summer Flowers

When the sun is shining and the days are longer, there’s nothing quite like the vibrant beauty of summer flowers to brighten your home or special event. At Dried Blooms, we’ve curated a stunning collection of dried summer flowers that capture the essence of the season. From golden yellows and fiery oranges to soft pastels and meadow-inspired mixes, our arrangements are perfect for anyone who wants to bring summer’s beauty indoors — and keep it all year round.

Unlike fresh flowers, our dried arrangements are long-lasting, sustainable, and low-maintenance. They don’t need water, and they maintain their charm for months, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to enjoy seasonal blooms. Whether you’re looking for summer wedding flowers, a thoughtful gift, or simply want to refresh your décor, our summer range has something for every occasion.

Summer Wedding Flowers That Last Forever

Summer is one of the most popular times of year for weddings, thanks to the gorgeous weather and abundant floral choices. However, fresh flowers can be expensive and delicate, wilting under warm conditions. That’s where dried summer wedding flowers shine.

Choosing dried blooms for your big day offers several advantages:

• Resilient to heat – Perfect for outdoor weddings or sunny venues.

• Timeless keepsakes – Bridesmaids and couples can treasure their bouquets for years.

• Cost-effective – A practical choice that still looks stunning.

• Sustainable – Ideal for eco-conscious couples looking to reduce waste.

Popular choices for dried wedding flowers include soft pastel tones like blush pinks, creams, and muted greens, as well as bolder palettes featuring burnt orange, deep burgundy, and golden yellow for a rustic summer vibe.

Our team can help you create bespoke wedding arrangements, from bouquets and buttonholes to table centrepieces and venue décor, ensuring every detail is perfect for your special day.

Late Summer Flowers: Transitioning Into Autumn

As summer fades and the days begin to cool, late summer flowers take centre stage. These blooms often feature deeper, richer tones that hint at the coming autumn, making them ideal for seasonal home styling.

Some of our favourite late summer dried flowers include:

• Echinacea – With its warm, earthy colours, it’s perfect for autumnal arrangements.

• Craspedia (Billy Buttons) – Adds a pop of cheerful yellow that works year-round.

• Hydrangea – Offers fullness and texture, transitioning beautifully between seasons.

• Rudbeckia – A bold flower that bridges summer brightness with autumn warmth.

Using late summer flowers is a wonderful way to update your décor gradually, blending the freshness of summer with the coziness of autumn.

How to Style Dried Summer Flowers

Dried summer flowers are incredibly versatile and can be styled in countless ways to suit your home or event. Here are a few tips:

• Choose the right vase – Tall stems like delphiniums look stunning in slim, elongated vases, while fuller arrangements suit wide, rustic containers.

• Mix textures and heights – Combine soft, airy flowers with structured stems for visual interest.

• Use them as centrepieces – Perfect for dining tables, weddings, or garden parties.

• Create seasonal wreaths – Bring a touch of summer to your front door or mantelpiece.

• Pair with candles and soft lighting – Highlight their natural beauty with a warm, cozy glow.

Because dried flowers don’t require water, you can display them almost anywhere — even in spaces where fresh flowers wouldn’t thrive.
