Tips for Keeping Your Summer Bouquets Fresh and Vibrant – From Boujee Bloom
There’s nothing quite like the charm of fresh, vibrant blooms filling your home or wedding venue—especially during a Dallas summer. At Boujee Bloom, we specialize in creating breathtaking floral arrangements in Dallas that celebrate every season, and summer is no exception. Whether you’re looking for the perfect wedding flowers or just a bouquet to brighten your space, we’re here to help you keep your blooms fresh, beautiful, and long-lasting.
As a leading florist in Dallas, TX, we understand the impact summer heat can have on your flowers. These expert tips from our design team will help you enjoy your summer bouquets longer and maintain the brilliance of your floral arrangements in the Texas heat.
Choose Heat-Resistant Blooms
When selecting flowers for your summer bouquets, it’s important to choose hardy varieties that thrive in high temperatures. Sunflowers, zinnias, marigolds, orchids, and dahlias are among our favorite heat-tolerant options. These blooms not only add texture and color but also hold up well during hot Dallas days.
Support Local, Seasonal Flowers
As your trusted Dallas florist, we recommend using local and seasonal blooms in your summer arrangements. Flowers grown in-season are more likely to stay fresh longer and support our community’s local growers. It’s a win-win for sustainability and style.
Prep Your Blooms the Right Way
Proper cutting techniques make all the difference. Always cut stems at an angle with sharp, sanitized scissors and avoid trimming during the hottest part of the day. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline to reduce bacterial growth and keep your vase water fresh.
Keep Them Hydrated and Nourished
Make sure your bouquet stays hydrated with clean, room-temperature water. Change the water every 1–2 days and add flower food or a homemade mix of sugar, vinegar, and a tiny bit of bleach to keep blooms nourished. This simple habit can dramatically extend the life of your floral arrangements.
Mind the Placement
Avoid placing your bouquet in direct sunlight or near heat-producing appliances. A shaded, cool room is ideal for preserving your bouquet’s color and shape. Lower room temperatures and good air circulation are your bouquet’s best friends.
Specialized Flower Care
Different flowers have different needs. Delicate orchids love humidity, while sunflowers need extra hydration. Our florists at Boujee Bloom will always provide specific care instructions to ensure your bouquet stays at its best.
Dealing with Wilting Flowers
Wilting doesn’t have to mean the end. Try submerging your blooms in cool water or trimming the stems again to help revive them. Many flowers perk up after just a little TLC.
Use Floral Preservatives
We recommend using high-quality floral preservatives for every bouquet. These products keep bacteria at bay and offer essential nutrients that extend the beauty of your arrangement. Re-trimming stems and refreshing your display every few days will also go a long way.
