As the days lengthen and the Yorkshire landscape bursts into full bloom, summer offers an incredible palette for wedding flowers. At Blossom Wild Florals, there’s nothing we love more than diving into the richness and variety of British-grown summer blooms to create your perfect wildly organic and garden-inspired arrangements.

If you’re planning a summer wedding in York or the wider North Yorkshire region, prepare to be inspired by the sheer abundance and natural beauty that British flowers bring to your special day.

The Charm of British Summer Blooms for Your Yorkshire Wedding

Choosing flowers grown right here in the UK for your summer wedding means more than just beautiful aesthetics; it’s a choice for quality, sustainability, and authentic character:

• Peak Freshness: British summer flowers are often cut just days, or even hours, before your event. This means they’re at their most vibrant, fragrant, and resilient, ensuring your arrangements look stunning throughout your celebration.

• Unrivalled Variety: Our local growers cultivate an astounding array of blooms during the summer months, offering unique shapes, textures, and colours that you simply won't find anywhere else.

• Eco-Conscious Choice: By selecting British flowers, you significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with imported blooms, aligning your wedding with an environmentally thoughtful approach.

• Supporting Our Community: Your choice directly supports dedicated British flower farmers and contributes to a thriving local economy and sustainable agricultural practices.

Our Top British Summer Blooms for Wild & Whimsical Designs

Here are some of our most cherished British-grown flowers that truly define the summer season, perfect for crafting Blossom Wild Florals’ signature romantically wild and whimsical arrangements:

1. English Garden Roses: Classic Romance with a Wild Heart

Nothing says "romance" quite like an English Garden Rose. Grown for their exquisite perfume, abundant petals, and natural, often cupped forms, these roses come in an array of soft pastels, vibrant pinks, and creamy whites. They are the quintessential bloom for adding luxurious softness and a timeless garden feel.

• Our Style Tip: We often use English Garden Roses as a focal point, letting their natural form dictate the flow of a bridal bouquet or spilling elegantly from a grand centrepiece. They blend seamlessly with looser, wilder elements for a truly organic look.

2. Sweet Peas: Delicate Fragrance and Whimsical Charm

Continuing their bloom from late spring into summer, British sweet peas are an absolute delight. Their paper-thin petals, delicate tendrils, and intoxicating fragrance make them indispensable for adding a touch of ephemeral beauty and subtle movement to any design.

• Our Style Tip: Sweet peas are perfect for creating that airy, ethereal quality in bouquets and smaller arrangements. Their scent is enchanting, and we love to weave them through designs to add a sense of lightness and natural elegance.

3. Delphiniums & Larkspur: Majestic Height and Cottage Garden Grace

For impactful height and a glorious vertical element, British-grown delphiniums and their close relatives, larkspur, are unmatched. Available in stunning blues, purples, whites, and pinks, they bring a stately yet natural elegance, evoking classic cottage gardens.

• Our Style Tip: We use these spires to create dramatic backdrops for ceremonies or as central, towering features in large floral installations. In bouquets, smaller stems add beautiful texture and an upward sweep, grounding the wilder elements.

4. Dahlias: Abundance and Bursting Colour

As summer progresses into its peak and late season, British dahlias become the stars of the show. With an incredible diversity of forms – from intricate pompons to dinner-plate-sized decorative blooms – and a kaleidoscope of colours, they offer endless possibilities for adding bold texture and vibrant personality.

• Our Style Tip: Dahlias are incredibly versatile. We love them as hero flowers in bouquets, bringing a generous, abundant feel, or massed in centrepieces for a luxurious, garden-luxe look. Their variety allows us to tailor them to any summer wedding palette.
