Written by Amor Sin Flores
May gets all the floral hype because of Mother’s Day, but let’s be honest—June is the real marathon. Between the tail-end of graduation season, the transition into the hot California summer, and a trio of major holidays, our design studio in Koreatown is bustling.If you want to win June without the last-minute stress, you need a game plan.Here is your insider’s guide to ordering the perfect arrangements for June’s biggest celebrations using local, seasonal California blooms.
♊ 1. Gemini Birthdays (May 21 – June 20)The Vibe: Vibrant, expressive, and dynamic.Geminis are known for their dual personalities, high energy, and love for anything witty and bright. Don't send them a quiet, predictable bouquet of pastel roses—they will get bored!
The Flower Strategy: Lean heavily into Sunflowers and Vibrant Zinnias, which are just beginning their peak California summer season this month. They bring immediate warmth and high-octane energy to a space.
The Palette: Think bright, sun-kissed yellows, electric oranges, and cheerful mismatched textures.Ordering Pro-Tip: Opt for an asymmetrical, "garden-fresh" design rather than a tight, traditional round arrangement. It appeals to their artistic, free-spirited nature.
✊🏾 2. Juneteenth (June 19)The Vibe: Joyous, community-focused, and deeply reflective.Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and African American culture. Flowers for this holiday should feel triumphant, regal, and full of life.
The Flower Strategy: June is the perfect time to source dramatic, structural blooms like Proteas and tropical flowers (which thrive in the early summer heat), paired with late-season premium deep red Garden Roses (like the O'Hara or Juliet varieties).The Palette: Pay homage to the culture with a rich, intentional color scheme. We love using deep jewel tones, rich crimsons, and structured tropical greenery like Italian Ruscus or Monstera leaves to create an expensive, regal silhouette.
Ordering Pro-Tip: Juneteenth is heavily centered around gatherings and family meals. If you are hosting, order low-profile centerpiece arrangements so your guests can easily talk across the table.
