Summer is a season that’s artfully stitched together with laughter, lemonade, and barefoot adventures from sunrise to sunset. It’s when every new morning feels like a celebration and every flower blooms bright with color. From family cookouts to milestone moments like Father’s Day and graduations, this season wraps us up in nostalgia and joy. At The Floratory in Peoria, Illinois, we’re ready to welcome the best season of the year. With linen table settings, tropical bouquets, and the bright zest of fresh fruit, our curated summer-themed collection invites you to relive the magic — one sun-drenched moment at a time.

Birth Flowers

Do you have a summer birthday  or two on your radar this year? If so, check out our easy, fun guide that matches birth flowers to zodiac signs and corresponding birthstones for the month they were born. It’s the cheat sheet you need to pick the perfect sweet surprise.

Card Messaging

Words have a way of turning potentially fleeting moments into timeless memories. For Father’s Day, graduations, anniversaries, or a simple wish for good fortune, our card messaging guide helps you find the perfect sentiment — and the blooms speak the poetry that words alone can’t capture.

Memorial Day

With every petal placed and every blossom chosen, Memorial Day becomes more than tradition — it becomes a tribute. Flowers project the light of remembrance, honoring the brave men and women whose sacrifice lives on in every quiet moment of reflection.

Graduations

Every rose, peony, or sprig of eucalyptus adds a layer of loveliness to the celebration of success. Graduation blooms — worn with pride or displayed in joy — are the perfect way to echo the elegance of a day filled with dreams fulfilled and new ones taking root.

Guide to Father’s Day

Father’s Day is a time to honor not only our own dads but every man who has played a meaningful role in our journey. From the fathers who taught us to dream to the mentors who helped us fly, each one deserves a moment of love and gratitude.

Niche Summer Holidays

Though major holidays command attention, occasions like the Summer Solstice and Pride Month provide meaningful opportunities to celebrate with intention. Enhance these quieter moments with floral designs that reflect their essence — vibrant, seasonal, and full of life.

Flowers for Self-Care

August 15th arrives like a soft breeze — an invitation to turn down the noise and indulge in the beauty of quiet. On Relaxation Day, surround yourself with bouquets and fragrant stillness, and let the world slow to a tender, timeless pause.

Vacation Plant Care

While your summer plans whisk you away to sun-drenched shores or tucked-away cabins, consider the quiet presence of your plants. Their green grace has filled your space with beauty — and with a little preparation, they’ll continue to thrive while you chase the horizon.

Airport Pickups

Between the rolling suitcases and gate announcements lies something far more intimate — the human heartbeat of connection. Flowers elevate airport reunions and farewells into tender rituals, reminding us that love, when expressed thoughtfully, is always in style.

With every garden party, sunlit stroll, or hand-delivered bouquet, summer invites us to slow down and soak in its elegance. The Floratory’s seasonal collection helps you celebrate beauty in all its forms — a timeless tribute to the loveliest time of year.
