Oceanfront galas, backyard barbecues, and rooftop soirées; summer event season has begun! As spring transitions into summer each year, our team at B Floral loves observing how floral color trends transform and adjust to the new season's aesthetics. When considering color schemes for the events we design, we almost always take the season into consideration. Summer exudes energy and vibrancy through its floral selection and offers a variety of colors to choose from.

After researching new summer trends and taking inspiration from the New York City flower market, our design team has compiled a list of the top four floral colors for this summer. Whether you’re making an arrangement, redecorating your space, or planning an event, we encourage you to consider one of these vibrant, trendy colors to add to your design!

Greenery

Greenery, Pantone’s color of the year, will be seen prominently throughout tablescapes and flower walls at countless summer events this season. We love the versatility of greenery and have used this color as a staple for many years. While greenery is often used as a ‘base’ for an arrangement or floral design, it can also be the star of the show.

From greenery table runners to succulent arrangements, Greenery embodies a natural feel that will tie together a rustic setting to your event’s theme. Greenery is a rich and versatile color that can be incorporated perfectly into differing event styles such as rustic, modern, or minimalist.

Lilac

Lilac is a delicate purple hue that will soften any centerpiece, bar arrangement, or flower wall.

One may think that pastel shades are only for spring, but Lilac is the perfect color to add a feminine pop to your summer event. Pair lilac with pinks and whites for the ultimate feminine arrangement or pair it with darker purples and dark greens for a opulent, refined look. Reach for varieties such as roses, sweet pea, and delphiniumin to add this lovely hue to any floral element at your event.

Peach

Peach is a sweet and elegant color that will add a warm and delicate feel to your event. Often, summer colors are bold and bright – in oranges and yellows. Peach offers a subtle version of these colors that can help soften your summer palette.

Peach is the perfect summer color due to its ability to stand on its own within an arrangement or provide a subtle contrast to darker colors such as purple or maroon. Peach can be paired with other like colors for a soft, monochromatic look for a day time event. It can also be paired with metallics, such as gold, to offer a sophisticated evening aesthetic. You can find seasonal florals in a peach shade within the orchid, rose, and garden rose varieties.

Pink Yarrow

Pink Yarrow is a rich and vibrant pink hue that will provide a bright pop to any summer floral arrangement found at both casual and formal gatherings.

It may look similar to one of spring’s top colors, Fuchsia, but Pink Yarrow contains more pink tones compared to purples found in Fuchsia. Pair florals in shades of Pink Yarrow with either subdued or bold-colored varieties to make a statement at your event.

A few of our favorite summer florals found in Pink Yarrow are peonies, calla lilies, and cockscomb.

If you're planning on hosting an on-trend event this summer, consider incorporating Greenery, Lilac, Peach, or Pink Yarrow into your tablescape. Take advantage of bright and bold colors throughout the season and don’t be afraid to add in some lighter hues to balance your color palette.
