It’s Officially Summer! Celebrate with Tropical Flowers

Take Summer Events to the Next Level with Exotic Blooms

We made it – today is the first official day of summer! Nothing matches long, warm days and sun-drenched afternoons like a bright, eye-catching tropical bouquet. Tropical flowers offer irresistible elegance and variety and are the perfect conversation piece for all of your summer events. When a bouquet with hibiscus, birds of paradise, orchids, bromeliads, and colorful lilies lights up a room, you may as well declare your event a tropical paradise or island escape. Here’s our guide to tropical plants for all of your favorite summer events. 

How to Brighten June Birthday Parties

June’s flower of the month is the rose. Show up to a June birthday event with an armful of colorful tropical flowers that combine roses with island vibes. Our Island Breeze arrangement is an artful celebration of summer energy, where soft pink roses cradle cymbidium orchids, fragrant lavender, and hot pink calla lilies. Or, for a more understated effect, consider our Bolivian Butterfly bouquet, featuring a regal combination of purple roses, hydrangea, and several orchid varieties in a tall, slender glass vase.

Are You Hosting a BBQ? Make it Tropical!

Outdoor events are one of the great joys of the summer—jazz up your party tables and poolside relaxation zones with some luxurious tropical pizazz. Caribbean Caress is an excellent choice for a daytime party, given it is pale color notes and gentle pink hues. For a show-stopping bouquet that is the floral equivalent of a day-to-night outfit, consider Island Adventure. Its lush yellow orchid blooms and glossy lilies will shine in sunlight, candlelight, or both. 

How To Go Tropical for Your Next Work Event

Is your organization hosting a conference, party, fundraiser, or staff social this summer? Make your next corporate event a sight to behold by selecting stunning floral centerpieces and accents. Our Grand Paradise bouquet trumpets celebration, fun, and indulgence – and is basically a summer garden with every treasure in the tropical plant kingdom. A gentler take on the classic centerpiece that might better suit multiple dining tables is our Birds in Hand arrangement, where orchids, tiger lilies, Birds of Paradise, and delphinium burst from a round, bubble-shaped bowl. Are you honoring an award winner or a retiree? Make the moment ceremonial by decking them out with a lush, gorgeous orchid lei.
