Summer Wedding Florals in Austin: Bold Blooms & Vibrant Palettes We’re Loving

Planning a summer wedding in Austin? The Texas heat might be intense—but so is the beauty of the season’s most vibrant blooms. At Jordan Flowers & Events, we lean into bold palettes, playful textures, and sun-loving stems to bring weddings to life, no matter the temperature. The key to successful summer wedding florals isn’t just picking pretty flowers—it’s choosing varieties that thrive in the heat, designing with the venue in mind, and making color work harder. Whether you're envisioning something soft and romantic or bright and joyful, we build florals to look fresh and photograph beautifully all day.

Our go-to summer blooms include:

• Dahlias: A statement flower with incredible variety and vibrancy.
• Zinnias & Marigolds: Sturdy, colorful, and locally sourced.
• Cosmos: Wispy and whimsical, perfect for a light, airy design.
• Tropicals like protea, ginger, and monstera leaves: Dramatic and heat-tolerant.
  
  

To keep your look cohesive and timeless, we often mix these with neutral or pastel tones for balance—think soft peach roses paired with fuchsia zinnias or golden marigolds next to ivory ranunculus. Our team also focuses on water sources and conditioning techniques to keep florals hydrated from setup to send-off.

Designing a summer wedding means thinking holistically. We look at your venue’s lighting, airflow, and photo timeline. For outdoor ceremonies, we might use hardy blooms for the arch and more delicate ones under shade at the reception. We also recommend early-evening events to beat the heat and give florals their moment to shine.

Your wedding florals should be an extension of your personality and your season. And in summer, that means bold joy, fearless color, and thoughtful design.
