Summer in Bloom: A Guide to Seasonal Flowers We’re Loving Right Now

As the days grow longer and the sun casts its golden glow over gardens and meadows, summer arrives in full bloom—and so do some of the most enchanting flowers of the year. At Lovebird Flowers, summer is a celebration of abundance, fragrance, and fleeting beauty. It’s when nature feels generous, offering us armfuls of delicate petals, vibrant colours, and lush textures that are perfect for both everyday joys and special occasions.

Whether you're picking up a bouquet for your home, planning a wedding, or sending a gift to someone dear, these are the summer flowers we adore designing with right now:

🌸 Dahlias

Bold, dramatic, and endlessly varied, dahlias are the crown jewels of summer. Their intricate petals and wide range of colours—from creamy café au lait to deep berry tones—make them perfect for romantic, show-stopping arrangements.

Why we love them: Their shape and structure add depth and elegance to any bouquet.

🌼 Butterfly Ranunculus

A summertime favourite here at the shop, butterfly ranunculus bring an airy, whimsical feel to our garden-style designs. Their delicate, papery petals and natural fluttering movement mimic the grace of summer’s namesake creature.

Why we love them: Light, ethereal, and always a customer favourite in our designer’s choice bouquets.

🌻 Sunflowers

Nothing says summer quite like sunflowers. Symbolic of joy and warmth, their bright faces follow the sun and bring cheer to any space. We especially love using specialty varieties with dark centres and unique petal shapes.

Why we love them: They bring a rustic countryside charm that feels timeless and full of heart.

💗 Lisianthus

Soft, rose-like blooms with ruffled petals, lisianthus are a summer staple in our studio. They come in romantic shades of blush, lavender, cream, and peach—ideal for soft, romantic palettes.

Why we love them: Long-lasting and elegant, they bring a graceful, cottage-garden look to our arrangements.

💐 Zinnias

Playful and colourful, zinnias offer a sweet, nostalgic nod to summer gardens. Their cheerful hues—from coral and lemon to raspberry and scarlet—lend a vibrant pop to our seasonal bouquets.

Why we love them: Perfect for adding a burst of colour and personality.

Seasonal, Local, and Always Fresh

At Lovebird Flowers, we take pride in sourcing the best local blooms from Ontario growers throughout the summer season. Every bouquet is thoughtfully designed to highlight the unique character of each stem at its peak.

We invite you to stop by our shop or explore our online collections to see what’s blooming this week. Our Designer’s Choice bouquets change regularly to reflect what’s freshest and most beautiful—and they’re always made with love.
