Summer is the most popular season for weddings in Ireland. The long days, warm light, and an abundance of flowers create the perfect backdrop for saying ‘I do’.

1. Peonies
Peonies are a classic wedding flower, and they’re in their prime during early summer. Known for their full, ruffled petals and soft scent, peonies make a bold statement in bridal bouquets and table arrangements. They come in romantic shades of blush, white, and deep pink — perfect for both traditional and contemporary weddings.
2. Roses
You can never go wrong with roses. While they’re available year-round, they bloom most beautifully and smell their best in late spring and summer. For weddings, roses are a timeless choice thanks to their full petals and delicate fragrance. With so many colours to choose from — cream, dusty pink, coral, and soft peach — roses can suit any wedding theme.
3. Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are a go-to flower for adding volume and texture to arrangements. Their large, cloud-like heads come in soft shades of blue, lavender, white, and blush, ideal for pastel colour schemes. These blooms are perfect for creating lush, romantic centrepieces and bouquets. Just remember — hydrangeas love water, so keep them hydrated especially for outdoor weddings.
4. Delphiniums
Looking to add height and drama to your floral displays? Delphiniums are a beautiful choice. With tall stems and striking blue or purple hues, they bring a wild, meadow-inspired touch to floral designs. Delphiniums are perfect for country garden weddings or outdoor ceremonies across Ireland, and look amazing as aisle markers, backdrops or centrepieces.
5. Sweet Peas
Sweet peas are as charming as they are fragrant. These delicate blooms have a soft, fluttery shape and a nostalgic scent that guests will always remember. Blooming in early summer in pastel shades like mauve, pink, and ivory, sweet peas bring a vintage and romantic vibe to bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, and hair florals.
Every wedding is unique, and your flowers should reflect your personality, season, and story. At Belles Fleurs in Blanchardstown, we work closely with couples to design floral arrangements that feel authentic, fresh, and unforgettable.
