My Favourite Summer Flowers for Weddings in South Devon

Peonies

Peonies are a favourite for early summer weddings their soft, romantic blousy petals work beautifully in relaxed, settings. Their fleeting availability makes them all the more special. They come in shades of Pink, White and Red and Pale Yellow.

Perfect for: Luxury barn weddings and seaside ceremonies

Garden Roses

Garden roses are timeless and versatile, giving an amazing scent and their natural, slightly wild appearance pairs perfectly with the region’s laid-back charm.

Perfect for: Classic and romantic wedding themes and all colour schemes

Dahlias

A late-summer favourite, dahlias bring bold colour and texture to your floral design. They’re perfect for couples wanting something eye-catching yet refined.

Perfect for: Statement bouquets and centrepieces

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas thrive in coastal climates, making them a natural choice for South Devon weddings. Their full blooms are ideal for creating lush arrangements.

Sweet Peas

Sweet peas are one of my most beloved summer wedding flowers, their delicate petals and enchanting fragrance, add something extra special. Grown locally in the South West, they bring a soft, romantic, and slightly whimsical feel to any arrangement.

Their pastel tones — including blush pink, lavender, cream, and soft coral — make them incredibly versatile for bouquets, buttonholes, and table arrangements. Sweet peas are especially popular for brides seeking a light, airy, garden-inspired aesthetic.

Styling Your South Devon Wedding Flowers

Coastal Weddings

For seaside venues, choose a soft, airy palette:

• Whites, blush tones, and pale blues
• Loose, flowing arrangements
• Natural textures and grasses

These elements complement the ocean views without overpowering them.

Countryside & Barn Weddings

Lean into a more rustic style with:

• Wildflowers and lavender
• Sunflowers and dahlias for pops of colour
• Plenty of greenery and textured foliage

This creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere that suits Devon’s rural charm.

Luxury & Modern Weddings

For a more refined look:

• Use structured arrangements with roses and hydrangeas
• Stick to a cohesive colour palette
• Incorporate statement floral installations
