Orchids, roses and calla lilies are known to florists as the best options for summer bouquets; the lesser known, vivid celosias and lisianthus blooms are also very hardy, and add exceptional color to your arrangements. Another creative touch that adds heat-resistant beauty to your arrangements are non-traditional greens, such as olive branches, eucalyptus leaves and succulents.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bouquets should be kept in water until the very last minute; venue flowers, ceremony and altar flowers and personal arrangements can be presented in stunning vases which will keep them hydrated throughout the day. For outdoor centerpieces, bubble bowls filled with water and submerged blooms provide beauty without fear of wilting.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gordonboswell.com\/events\/Fort-Worth-Wedding-Flowers-Event-Photo-Gallery?catID=1&amp;galID=13\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-115\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-115\" src=\"https:\/\/flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2016\/03\/photo2-1-14081542218-765x1024.jpg\" alt=\"summer weddings\" width=\"625\" height=\"837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gordonboswellweddingflowers.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2016\/03\/photo2-1-14081542218-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/gordonboswellweddingflowers.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2016\/03\/photo2-1-14081542218-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/gordonboswellweddingflowers.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2016\/03\/photo2-1-14081542218-768x1028.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gordonboswellweddingflowers.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2016\/03\/photo2-1-14081542218-624x835.jpg 624w, https:\/\/gordonboswellweddingflowers.flowermanager.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2016\/03\/photo2-1-14081542218.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a>Expert Tip:<\/strong> When expecting temperatures as high as the mid- 90&#8217;s, you may wish to plan the festivities for early morning or late evening.
