Choose a seasonal feeling, not a fixed palette
Summer allows vivid colour, pale combinations, garden-like movement and simple mono bouquets. Start with the recipient and event, then check which flowers are genuinely available on the required date.
For a walk, picnic or journey, a manageable design that will not sit in direct sun is more practical. When flowers are part of the décor, plan the vase, shade and access to fresh water in advance.
