Summer is finally here! We love taking our celebrations outdoors, to spend time with family and friends and relax in the balmy weather. Lazy days or extended summer evenings, there is just something special about this time of year.

When you get together with loved ones this year, don’t forget the centerpieces and table arrangements! Seasonal bouquets are an ideal way to infuse color and beauty into any gathering, whether a casual picnic or a sophisticated dinner party. Whatever your concept of entertaining in the summertime, City Line Florist has the floral decor that will rise to the occasion.

Summer definitely has a different vibe than all of the other seasons. Everyone seems a bit more relaxed, the pace is slower, the laughs come easier, and memories are being made every day. To add a bit of the essence of summer to your backyard party, here are a few tips for decorating.

• Summer is all about color. Choose deep or bright shades to compliment your table linens, napkins, and plates for a cohesive yet easy-going aesthetic.
• Position smaller vases or cubes in groups in the center of your tables, or spread out across multiple tables for pops of color across the entire area.
• Suspend battery operated strings of lights from trees or across trellises, fences, or railings.
• Create special illumination on your patio or deck, whether with soft glowing Edison lights, or unique candle configurations.
• Place patio pots containing blooming summer plants around your backyard.

Beat the Heat: Summer centerpieces and seasonal bouquets add vibrant color and dramatic style to any table. Keep them looking beautiful all day long by hydrating them continually. If there is any shade at your gathering, position the flowers there if possible. You may also want to mist their leaves and petals in the heat of the day.
