Let's get started on why June is one of the most beautiful times of year for flower availability!
P E O N Y
Let’s start off with one of the most asked-for flowers of all time: the Peony. These beautifully full, romantic blooms are typically in season from May through to June, sometimes stretching into early July. Their availability is quite dependent on the weather, so if you have your heart set on Peonies for your wedding flowers, it’s worth planning your date for late May or early June to give yourself the best chance of securing them at the best quality and a reasonable cost.
Peonies offer an incredible colour palette, ranging from crisp whites and soft creams to buttery yellows, delicate blush tones, warm pinks, and richer shades like cerise and deep burgundy. And then there’s coral—truly one of their standout hues. It’s a distinctive, vibrant shade that feels completely unique to Peonies.
With their large, soft, ruffled heads, Peonies are perfect for creating impact in bigger floral designs such as arches or statement urn arrangements. In bridal bouquets, I usually use them more sparingly—just a few stems, depending on their size—paired with other seasonal summer flowers to add depth and texture. For an early summer wedding, peonies are easily among the most beautiful and luxurious choices you can make.
You’ll find lots of beautiful images here of floristry that incorporates Peonies.

Another much-loved seasonal June bloom: the garden Rose. There is something undeniably captivating about garden Roses, their soft, ruffled petals bring so much effortless Romance and elegance and totally elevate any design.
David Austins Roses are often considered the ‘gold stard’ as they add so much beauty and character. Breeders are continuously introducing new varieties providing an ever-evolving palette and colours, shapes and sizes for us florists to work with – such a treat!
If you are considering introducing that soft, ruffly, garden style look in to your flowers, take a look here at some of the varieties florists are able to get hold of. Beatrice and Kate are a firm favourite of mine as these feature in our own wedding day nearly 8 years ago; I’ll always have a soft spot for them! They also often feature on our Instagram in our event/wedding work as I cannot resist a snap whenever they’re in my shop!

Beyond those two much loved June flowers above, there are so many other beautiful seasonal blooms that I adore working with at this time of year – far too many to list in full! But to give you a little inspiration, some favourites include Sweet Peas, Corncockle,, Larkspur, Astrantia, Ammi/Orlaya, Honeysuckle and Scabious – the list could go on and on! June really is abundant when it comes to choice.
We are also beyond lucky to have access to lots of local growers nearby which adds a whole extra dimension of availability and choice.
