By Anna Kishlaly
Welcome to Modern Nature — your premier flower delivery service in the Seattle area!
July brings abundant sunshine, warm days, and a vibrant palette of beautifully seasonal blooms. Here’s everything you need to know when ordering flowers in July — what’s in season, how we craft our bouquets, what to expect from the delivery experience, and tips for keeping your blooms fresh.
Seasonal Flowers Likely in Your July Bouquet, when you order flowers from Modern Nature
During July, the Pacific Northwest is in full bloom:
Locally grown dahlias, sunflowers, marigolds, and zinnias take center stage from July through early fall, showing off their bold colors and intricate shapes. These are the kinds of flowers that make a statement the moment they arrive.
Cosmos add a light, airy feel to summer arrangements with their soft petals and delicate stems. You’ll find them in romantic shades of blush, ivory, and even rich plum — perfect for creating that effortless, garden-inspired look.
To add structure and soft elegance, we often include tall stems like phlox, foxglove, or gladiolus. These blooms bring vertical movement and gentle pastel hues that beautifully balance the brighter elements.
To go a step further, we love incorporating ornamental grasses for their wispy, sculptural quality—they add softness and movement, tying the bouquet together in a natural, meadow-like way.
For added interest, we often reach for scabiosa (with its pincushion-like blooms), sweet peas (for their ruffled petals and sweet scent), and nicotiana, whose trumpet-shaped flowers add height and a hint of fragrance.
Unusual additions like allium garlic heads — round, architectural, and surprisingly elegant — and branches of ripening blackberry bring unexpected charm and texture, giving your arrangement a wild, gathered-from-nature feel.
These natural details are what make Modern Nature designs stand out. When you order flowers from us in July, you’re sharing a snapshot of the season — full of movement, scent, and stories.
Our Process: From Farm to Front Door
Sourcing Flowers
We receive fresh flower deliveries three times a week, ensuring that every bouquet starts with the best possible product. Most of our stems are sourced from the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market, along with seasonal selections from local micro-farms — especially abundant during the summer months.
Seasonal Curation
Our florists hand-select each bloom based on what’s in season, at its peak, and what works harmoniously in both color and structure. Every flower is chosen with intention — prioritizing quality, freshness, and how it fits within the overall design.
Artful Design
Each bouquet is thoughtfully arranged to feel full, layered, and elegant. We focus on striking focal flowers, rich textures, and a restrained use of greenery — used not as filler, but as a purposeful accent to enhance the composition.
Quality Care
Before designing, we carefully process each stem to ensure longevity and freshness. Bouquets are wrapped securely and placed in a water-filled bag at the base, so they stay hydrated and vibrant during delivery.
Next-Day Delivery: Available for orders placed before our 5 p.m. cutoff time.
Delivery Area: Serving Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Seattle, Renton, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way, and Tacoma.
How to Keep Your July Blooms Fresh Longer
To ensure your blooms thrive at home:
Recut stems on a slant and remove lower leaves.
Use a clean vase and plenty of fresh water.
Change the water and recut stems every 1–2 days.
Avoid heat sources, direct sun, and drafts.
Remove wilting blooms to maintain bouquet health.
