With a sunflower wedding, you don’t have to think too long about what flowers to use! Sunflowers have enough contrast and color that they look stunning by themselves. There are various options on how to carry them. Carry one long-stemmed flower by itself. Or bunch a few together with long stems and carry across your arm. Or hold a big bouquet of sunflowers, keeping the stems short and securing them with ribbon or raffia. An alternative to the traditional bouquet is to have your bridesmaids carry a kissing ball of sunflowers! A bright, cute alternative!
While sunflowers look stunning by themselves, there are many flowers which coordinate well with them, too. Determine your colors by researching online flowers or visiting local florists and pair accordingly. Greenery, such as ferns and eucalyptus pull out the green sunflower stems. For a more country feel, add in shafts of wheat.
Looking for more color? Long lavender stems add a lovely purple touch, while thistle adds a rustic, wild look. Or use asters. Red, pink, or white roses are elegant. Gerbera daisies come in an array of bright colors and are more fun. Calla lilies are modern.
Have your flower girl carry a basket or tin bucket full of sunflower petals to scatter down the aisle.
The groom and groomsmen can wear a single small sunflower or paired with a small sprig of eucalyptus or wheat.
