French term or phrase: pour mieux croquer l’été, la collection XXX est à craquer !

Hi all,
This is a sentence introducing the description of the House's new Spring/Summer collection, which has a theme of summer flowers. I've been wracking my brains for a phrase in English that'd give the same sort of alliteration, but to no avail...anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks,
Lucy-Jane

Explanation:
This is the only convincing one I've been able to come up with so far. A variation could be "wonderful" and "full of wonder", or something like that. I'll keep trying, anyway.

Enjoy summer to perfection- Enjoy the XXX collection!

Explanation:
Maybe something like that maintains the silliness of the original? Or how about simply 'A smashing collection for a cracking summer!'

flower power

Explanation:
You could try and work something around the idea of "flower power".

Something along the lines of:
XXX summer collection for real flower power
XXX power for summer flowers
Power into summer with the XXX flower collection

Or you could work in Helen's "Blossom" idea:
Blossom into summer with XXX flower power

Notes to answerer

Asker: I was thinking along the lines of something flower-powery, like 'succumb to the temptation of XXX's flower-powered collection', but I do like your combination with 'blossom into summer'...

for a summer full of magic, the xxxx range is a must-have

Explanation:
or I thought of "for a dynamic summer, the xxxx range is to die for" but that's probably too colloquial and maybe die/flower/summer do not juxtapose well ... - depends I suppose on target age ..
anyway, another idea!
