Looking for arrangement ideas with blooms that can fair the heat? Here a few heat-resistant blooms that won’t wilt in the heat – dahlias, protea, orchids, mini call lilies. Consider tropical blooms for your summer wedding. Tropical flowers usually have waxy blooms that make them ideal for droopy and heat-resistant flowers. Think of it this way- the daintier and delicate the flower, the more rehydration it needs and the attention it will require in the heat. Such as hydrangeas and peonies.
We always recommend keeping your flowers fresh by storing them in water before and after your big event. Discover beautiful flower options for heat-resistant wedding decorations and bouquets.
