This Summer, the Poppy team is watching three color trends: citrus, greenery, and earthtones. For summer wedding florals, we see florals embrace the warm, bright, lush vibes of the season. From the charm of citrus-infused palettes with yellow ranunculus and pink roses, to the serene elegance of greenery accents, such as eucalyptus and ruscus, there is a vibrancy that couples who get married during summer embrace. 

Bright As A Sunbeam: Citrus-Infused Weddings 

Dive into the vibrant world of citrus-infused weddings where every petal bursts with the warmth of a summer sunbeam. Picture a bouquet as bright as a smile, adorned with coral ranunculus, hot pink Mayra roses, and the cheerful charm of yellow Solidago. Citrus isn't just a color palette; it's an attitude—bold, vivacious, and utterly unapologetic. These flowers, whether in bouquets, centerpieces, or floral arches, create an atmosphere of exuberance and elegance.

Regional Appeal: Coast to Coast

From New York to Dallas, brides are embracing the citrus zest, infusing their weddings with a splash of exuberance that's feminine yet far from Barbie-core. In urban settings, the citrus theme brings a refreshing burst of color to sophisticated venues, while in more laid-back locales, it enhances the natural beauty and relaxed vibe of the surroundings. This versatile theme adapts to different regions, proving that the appeal of citrus is as widespread as it is irresistible.

Citrus Shines in Outdoor Venues

Outdoor venues provide the perfect canvas for citrus-infused weddings, where natural light can amplify the brilliance of the color palette. We love the wedding florals Lauren and Juan’s summer nuptials where they complemented the lushness of their beautiful outdoor ceremony with a citrus palette. The vibrant colors stood out against the green backdrop, creating a stunning and harmonious visual effect.

A Garden Inspired Citrus Splash 

Against the scene of a garden and light-filled greenhouse, Bailey and Jayme’s August wedding flowers featured pinks, oranges, yellows, and pops of greenery. The citrus palette blended seamlessly with the natural surroundings, enhancing the romantic and ethereal atmosphere of their wedding. The use of greenery added depth and contrast, making the vibrant colors even more striking.

Vibrancy in The City 

Citrus-infused weddings aren’t limited to lush gardens and outdoor venues. David and Danielle tied the knot in Brooklyn, bringing together the backdrop of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and the palette of their citrus-infused wedding florals. The bold colors of their florals added a fresh and modern twist to the urban setting, creating a unique and memorable celebration that combined the best of both worlds.

Setting the Scene: Perfect Locations

Citrus-infused weddings are ideally suited for venues that enhance their vibrant aesthetic. Beaches with serene waves and sandy shores, gardens bursting with greenery, and venues with sweeping countryside views all provide stunning backdrops. Picture an altar framed by swaying palm trees or a reception under a canopy of fairy lights, where the citrus palette shines against the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Beyond the Flowers: Citrus Accents

The citrus theme can extend beyond floral arrangements to various elements of the wedding. Invitations can feature bold, colorful designs, setting the tone from the moment guests are invited. Table settings can be adorned with citrus fruits as place holders, adding a whimsical touch. Even the wedding cake can join in on the fun, with layers of vibrant fondant and fresh citrus flavors to tantalize the taste buds.
