Best Flowers for a June Wedding: Top Seasonal Blooms
If you’re wondering what flowers are in season for June weddings then you're in luck - there are so many beautiful options! Here we share some of our favourite wedding flower ideas for June with inspiration from real life weddings...
1. Roses
If you want to live la vie en rose, then tying the knot in June is the perfect time of year for you. Coming into flower from June, and available British grown, until September, roses will be the star of the show in your bouquet or wedding floral decorations.
With so many forms and colours to choose from, you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for your wedding – from nodding multi-headed floribunda types, to the blousy ruffles of David Austin roses, like the ones in this bouquet by Flower & Farmer. Superfans can even opt for an entirely rose bouquet!
2. Peonies
Peonies are the other early summer stars. They're a popular wedding bouquet flower, much sought after by couples for their huge crinoline flowers which are big on the wow factor, either alone or mixed with other flowers. They are available in a range of colours from whites and corals to deep pinks and reds. A few pale yellow forms can also be found occasionally, but are not generally widely available.
3. Sweet Peas
Sweet Peas make a romantic addition to any floral arrangement with their whimsical, ruffled style. They come in candy colours like pastel pink, peach and cream which makes them perfect for Spring weddings. Fox and Bloom Floral Artistry have used them in this stunning pastel-coloured creation.
4. Delphiniums
With their tall, striking stems and bell-shaped blooms Delphiniums really make a statement. Plus they are great for adding height to your floral arrangements. If you're looking for flowers that double as your something blue then these are perfect. They come in a wide range of shades including sky blue, indigo and lavender. We love how Iulia Blooms has paired them with hydrangeas.
5. Aliums
We can't get enough of this arrangement by Harriet Grace Florals. The Aliums inject a playful element thanks to their globe-shaped flower heads that are made up of tonnes of tiny star-shaped buds. Because of their unique shape, perched atop a long thin stem, they are great for adding contrast and texture.
6. Hydrangeas
When it comes to flowers in bloom for a June wedding, hydrangeas are always a popular option. Beloved for their large, pillowy flower heads and luxurious appearance they make a great anchor flower in bouquets, centrepieces and installations like this one by Seed & Stem.
7. Chamomile
A more unusual option for June weddings, we love how Chamomile looks, especially for outdoor weddings. The small daisy like flowers look great bunched together like in these buckets by Fox and Bloom Floral Artistry. Plus, they have a subtle apple-like scent that you'll smell as you pass by.
8. Poppies
Blooming from May to July Icelandic Poppies are perfect for June weddings. Their delicate, paper like petals look stunning in these simple table arrangements by Flower & Farmer but they also work well in bouquets, all though they are delicate.
9. Sunflowers
There's no denying that sunflowers bring a warm, joyful energy to any arrangement. We love them for rustic, barn weddings. And don't be put off by their punchy colour. When paired with pastel shades, like in this bouquet by Eternal Blooms they add a gorgeous pop of Spring energy, without feeling overwhelming.
10. Dahlias
With varieties available in shades of blush and peach to deep burgundy and coral Dahlias can add detail to most bouquets. Their abundance of petals and texture, makes them great for adding a romantic richness to your special day. Into the Wild Florist has incorporated them above to add texture to these stunning table centrepieces - and we are obsessed!

June Wedding Flower FAQs: Seasonal & Budget Tips
What Are the Most Affordable June Wedding Flowers?
If you’re planning a June wedding on a budget, there are plenty of areas of your wedding where you can save a couple of pennies - including your June wedding flowers! If you’re looking for the cheapest wedding flowers in June, there are several ways to reduce the cost of wedding flowers without compromising on style and beauty.
We suggest communicating your budget needs with your florist. That way they can suggest different options for your price point.
Are June wedding flowers cheaper because they're in season?
Generally, yes! When flowers are in season, they’re easier to source locally, which often means better quality and better prices. You’ll avoid paying a premium for imports. That said, popular choices like peonies can still come with a slightly higher price tag. They’re gorgeous, but their season is short and demand is huge.
What are the most popular flowers for a June wedding bouquet?
Couples getting married in June adore peonies, garden roses (a classic), and sweet peas for something romantic and fragrant. Delphiniums and hydrangeas are popular for added height and texture. Many brides mix these with seasonal greenery like eucalyptus or olive foliage for a fresh, early-summer bouquet.
Which colours work best for June wedding flowers?
June lends itself to both pastel and vibrant palettes. Think soft blush, ivory, lavender and peach tones for a romantic look, or bold corals, blues and fuchsias for something more summery. Because the days are longer in June, and usually brighter, colourful palettes look great.
Can I get blue or white wedding flowers in June?
Yes! June is fantastic for blue and white palettes. For blue, look at delphiniums, cornflowers, and hydrangeas. For white, you can’t go wrong with roses, peonies, or aliums. Together, they create a timeless, elegant look that feels perfectly suited to a bright summer’s day.
