But where should you begin, and how do you make the most of these stunning florals? I’ve rounded up 7 easy and creative hacks using this kit to help you add a personal, vibrant touch to your summer celebration.

What’s in the Bright Summer DIY Flower Kit? 

Before we jump into the hacks, here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll be working with in this kit:

• Light Blue Delphinium for whimsical height and texture  

• Raspberry Scabiosa for their bold color and delicate appeal  

• Hot Pink Floyd Roses as a statement bloom  

• Yellow Craspedia to add a playful, modern pop  

• Orange Ranunculus for layers of glowing color  

• Peach Stock and Peachy Pink Butterfly Ranunculus for soft, romantic tones  

• Cream Carnations as a timeless classic  

• Pennycress Greenery for the perfect finishing touch  

Together, these blooms create a bold and beautiful palette that’s as versatile as it is eye-catching. Now, let's explore how to make them shine on your wedding day.

1. DIY Bouquets That Feel Like You 

Your bridal bouquet is a reflection of your personality, and with this kit, creating a custom arrangement is simple and fun. Start by choosing a mix of statement blooms like the Hot Pink Floyd Roses and Orange Ranunculus as your focal flowers. Surround them with soft accents like Peach Stock and Cream Carnations. Add a few sprigs of Pennycress and Light Blue Delphinium for elegant greenery and gentle height.

Tip: Create smaller, matching bouquets for your bridesmaids using similar stems for a cohesive, yet unique look.

2. Vibrant Centerpieces with a Twist  

Skip the cookie-cutter arrangements and add a DIY spin to your table centerpieces. Use vintage vases or colorful tin cans for your floral creations. Combine the whimsical shapes of Raspberry Scabiosa and Yellow Craspedia with Peachy Pink Butterfly Ranunculus for an arrangement that screams summer charm. 

Pro Tip: Vary the height of your containers across the table for visual interest, and sprinkle loose petals for an extra touch of romance.

3. DIY Ceremony Backdrops

Transform your ceremony space with a colorful floral backdrop. String Yellow Craspedia and Cream Carnations on a wooden arch or an enchanting macramé hanging for a modern summer twist. The dynamic colors will pop against the natural textures, creating a stunning photo-worthy scene.

4. Jazz Up Your Wedding Cake  

Edible gold leaves aren’t your only option for adding pizazz to your wedding cake. Fresh flowers are an affordable, stunning way to elevate your dessert table centerpiece. Use a mix of Orange Ranunculus and Cream Carnations to line the base or cascade gently down the side of your cake. Add Yellow Craspedia for fun, unexpected pops of texture.

5. Unique Boutonnieres  

Don’t forget about the gents! Craft custom boutonnieres using a small selection of stems. Pair a single Raspberry Scabiosa with Yellow Craspedia and a touch of Pennycress for a one-of-a-kind accessory. Consider making the groom’s boutonniere a little different by using a single Orange Ranunculus with Yellow Craspedia! Wrap the stems with neutral or pastel-colored twine for an on-theme finish.

Bonus Idea: Match these with your bouquets to tie the look together across your entire wedding party.

6. Memorable Wedding Favors  

Send your guests home with mini arrangements crafted from your kit. Use small jars or mini terracotta pots filled with vibrant blooms and a touch of Pennycress. Wrap them in twine and attach a tag thanking them for being part of your special day.

Why guests love this idea: Favors feel more meaningful when they’re thoughtful and handmade, just like your wedding itself.

7. Floral Accessories

Here’s where DIY gets truly creative! Use leftover blooms to craft unique hairpieces, flower crowns, or even floral bracelets. These accessories are perfect for the bridal party or as gifts for your flower girls.

Our Bright Summer DIY Flower Kit is more than just a collection of flowers; it’s a toolkit for creativity, a way to infuse your big day with personality, color, and joy.
