Our Favorite Summer Flower Arrangements for Gifting
There's something about summer that calls for a few more reasons to celebrate. Birthdays fill the calendar. Friends invite you over for rooftop dinners. Housewarming parties seem to happen every weekend. Someone lands a new job, welcomes a new baby, or simply deserves a little pick-me-up after a busy week.
While a bottle of wine or box of chocolates is always appreciated, flowers have a way of making a moment feel a little more memorable. They brighten a room, create an experience, and continue bringing joy long after the gift is received.
If you're wondering which arrangement to send this season, here are a few of our favorite summer picks.
For the Life of the Party: Peony Picnic
If summer had a signature arrangement, this might be it.
With vibrant yellow orchids, lush hydrangea, coral and blush peonies (or dahlias later in the season), and bright pink garden roses, Peony Picnic is joyful, colorful, and impossible to ignore. It's the arrangement we recommend for birthdays, congratulations, or anyone who loves bold, happy flowers.
Think: the friend who always hosts the backyard barbecue or plans the weekend getaway.
For the Classic Romantic: Queen of the Flowers
Some flowers never go out of style.
Featuring roses, peonies, specialty tulips, viburnum, and fragrant stock flower, Queen of the Flowers is elegant without feeling overdone. It's a beautiful choice for anniversaries, milestone birthdays, or simply reminding someone how much they're loved.
Sometimes timeless really is the best gift.
For the One Who Takes Care of Everyone Else: The Nurturer
We all know someone who's always showing up for everyone around them.
Whether it's a new mom, a dedicated teacher, a caregiver, or the friend who never forgets a birthday, The Nurturer is designed to celebrate the people who spend so much of their time caring for others.
Its abundant English garden style, complete with roses, tulips, delphinium, and lush greenery arranged in a basket, feels warm, thoughtful, and effortlessly welcoming.
For the Person Who Has Great Taste: Royal Gardens
Need something that's guaranteed to impress?
Royal Gardens combines soft blush and white roses, peonies, hydrangea, delphinium, and hyacinth in a lush garden-style design that's both sophisticated and timeless.
It's one of our favorite choices for housewarmings, client gifts, anniversaries, or any occasion where you want to make an elegant statement.
For Sweet, Thoughtful Gestures: Strawberry Sorbet
Not every gift needs to be grand.
Sometimes a smaller arrangement delivered "just because" means the most.
Featuring calla lilies, Casablanca lilies, orchids, and fragrant hyacinth, Strawberry Sorbet is soft, modern, and beautifully understated. Its compact size makes it perfect for desks, bedside tables, or cozy apartments, while its layered fragrance leaves a lasting impression.
For Someone Who Loves the Unexpected: Sunflower Eclipse
Sunflowers don't always have to be rustic.
Sunflower Eclipse takes one of summer's happiest flowers and gives it a sophisticated twist. Black calla lilies, crisp white roses, and campanella create a dramatic contrast that's contemporary, artistic, and unlike anything you'd expect.
It's a wonderful gift for someone who appreciates modern design or simply enjoys flowers that stand out from the crowd.
Choosing the Right Arrangement
Every bouquet tells a slightly different story.
If you're celebrating a birthday, choose something vibrant like Peony Picnic. Looking for timeless elegance? Queen of the Flowers or Royal Gardens are beautiful choices. Want to send a heartfelt thank-you? The Nurturer says it perfectly. Prefer something soft and romantic? Strawberry Sorbet never disappoints. And if you're shopping for someone whose style is a little more contemporary, Sunflower Eclipse offers an unforgettable take on summer flowers.
No matter the occasion, sending flowers is about more than the blooms themselves. It's about helping someone feel celebrated, appreciated, remembered, or loved.
And that's always in season.
