Whether you're looking to brighten your home, surprise a loved one, or simply indulge in the beauty of nature, our August floral trends are sure to inspire.

1. Sunflowers: The Icon of Summer

Nothing captures the essence of late summer quite like sunflowers. Their bold, cheerful faces are a symbol of joy and warmth, perfect for brightening up any space. At Centerville Florists, we offer a variety of sunflower arrangements, from simple bouquets to elaborate centerpieces. Pair them with greenery or contrasting blooms like purple asters to create a stunning display that celebrates the season's beauty.

2. Dahlias: A Symphony of Colors

Dahlias are another standout flower for August, known for their rich, varied hues and intricate petal structures. These versatile blooms can add a touch of elegance to any arrangement. Our designers love using dahlias in mixed bouquets, combining them with roses, lilies, and seasonal greens for a lush, full look. Whether in deep burgundy, soft pink, or sunny yellow, dahlias are sure to make a statement.

3. Zinnias: A Burst of Summer Cheer

Zinnias are a must-have for late summer arrangements. These vibrant flowers come in an array of colors, from bold reds and oranges to soft pinks and whites. Zinnias are perfect for adding a pop of color to your decor or for creating a cheerful bouquet that brings a smile to anyone's face. We love using them in mixed garden-style arrangements, where their bright colors and playful shapes can really shine.

4. Seasonal Greens and Textures

No bouquet is complete without the right greenery and textural elements. In August, we love incorporating seasonal greens like eucalyptus, ferns, and ivy to add depth and contrast to our floral designs. Textural elements like seed pods, berries, and dried grasses also bring an earthy, rustic feel to arrangements, perfect for capturing the late summer vibe.

6. Tips for Keeping Your Flowers Fresh

To help your flowers last as long as possible, here are a few tips from our experts:

• Keep your flowers cool: Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Change the water regularly: Fresh water keeps your flowers hydrated and looking their best.
• Trim the stems: Cutting the stems at an angle allows for better water absorption.
• Remove any wilted flowers or leaves: This prevents bacteria from spreading and helps keep your arrangement looking fresh.
