Ah, summer! Sunny days and long, lazy evenings beckon us outside and cause us to want to hang out in the open air. Whether iced coffee with the girls, a family dinner with the gang, or a backyard barbecue with neighborhood friends – our yards, decks, and patios get a lot of use this time of year. If you are looking for a beautiful, yet low maintenance way to add colorful décor to any of your al fresco areas, look no further than Julia’s Florist. From baskets overflowing with trailing blossoms to classic potted plants and bouquets of seasonal wildflowers, we have the perfect floral elements, no matter the space you are embellishing.

Our outdoor spaces are as diverse as the creative ideas we have to decorate them. From sprawling wood decks, to traditional white porches with swings, to stone patio gardens – the right selection of flowers can give any space an ambiance all its own. Baskets of traditional garden flowers are an easy way to create a colorful backdrop, without having to plant and garden all season long. Not only will they bring natural beauty to any one of your outdoor areas, but they can easily be moved from one place to another, from shade to sun, and they can even be brought inside for rainy day parties and décor.

Of course, if you are having an outdoor soiree that requires a little elegance, take a tip from the wedding planners, Add beautiful centerpieces to set the tone of the evening, and add a touch of class to the backyard. If you love being immersed in flower arrangements, but don’t have the patience – or a green enough thumb – to plant and nurture a garden, flowers from Julia’s Florist are a great compromise to decorate all of your outdoor areas.
