It’s summertime, and the party has moved outdoors! Whether a casual picnic or an elegant garden tea party, summer floral designs can create a tablescape that will impress and delight your guests – not to mention, add that seasonal color and flair that only this time of year exudes. Schaaf Floral has a collection of summer flowers that are whimsical, rustic, sophisticated and fun; and we are confident that you will find the perfect centerpiece for your al fresco meal.

Keep Them Hydrated! Just as you’ll want to have plenty of drinks on hand to keep your guests comfortable in the heat, you’ll need to keep your floral designs cool as well. Add plenty of water, and position them in the shade whenever possible. 

For your picnic table or for lunches on the back deck, we love this Butterfly Basket. This beautiful mixed flower arrangement showcases lilies, carnations, tulips and other colorful blooms perfect for the season. Arranged in a basket with butterfly accents, it is a fitting accompaniment to your outdoor fun.

If you are having a few friends over for a dinner party, choose our Big Hitter – overflowing with peonies, tulips, roses, gerbera daisies, hydrangea and more, this arrangement is designed to make an impressive statement.

For those looking to have a little fun, maybe with a luau, tropical barbecue or another whimsical theme, our Sangria Floral Bouquet is the perfect party accessory. We fill a margarita or martini glass with bright flowers and top them off with an umbrella, evoking memories or tiki bars and island getaways. Put a few around your food tables and your guests will not be able to stop complimenting you.

No matter the nature of your outdoor gatherings, summer floral designs from Schaaf Floral are a unique and vibrant way to elevate your decor. Looking for more designs? Check out our Summer Flowers collection – and then get to work planning a colorful Minneapolis soiree they won’t soon forget.
