Ah, it is finally summer! There is something so freeing about leaving any thought of cold air behind us for a few months and breaking out our flip-flops and lifting our faces to the sun. Summer brings with it the new promise of adventure, of relaxation, and of good times with family and friends. Whether your summer plans consist of traveling the country, or lounging in your backyard in Wilmington, summer holds an expectation of a special season. It is bright; it is colorful, and it has a vibe all its own.

The summer flowers are just as fun and vibrant. These are not delicate little blooms – let’s face it, these blossoms have to withstand the heat! They are bold and make a statement. Take for instance the iconic sunflower, which not only looks like the sun’s rays, but it acts like a true sun worshipper. This flower wakes in the morning, turns it’s head towards the rising sun and never looks away. It’s bright yellow and cheery disposition make it the perfect flower of summer, and a bouquet of sunflowers will liven up any get-together.

In the summer we love being outside, and what is a better representative of the seasonal beauty around us that a bouquet of wildflowers? The expert designers at Julia’s have created floral bouquets of summer flowers that not only showcase the blooms that surround us this time of year but make for awesome gifts “just because” – because who doesn’t love a bouquet of flowers?
