These flowers are big, bright and cheerful. They are also less expensive than other types of flowers, which means you can save money. Here are some wonderful, romantic sunflower wedding ideas.
The bridal and bridesmaid bouquets and centerpieces should be robust with sunflowers as the focal point.
You can dress up the bouquets with baby’s breath, sprigs of green and other, smaller flowers that blend well color-wise. For the centerpieces, you can place multiple sunflowers into a tall vase and tie a satin ribbon around the stem.
Another cute idea is to place a small Mason jar on each reception table and place sunflowers inside.
Place that onto a slab of wooden log and paste the table number in wood to the piece of log. As the bride, you can even have a beautiful sunflower-themed wreath from which to hang your veil. Your bridal party can also wear wreaths. Decorate the wedding cake with either real or candy sunflowers. You can get really creative with your decorations, such as by placing the flowers along each tier or simply arrange them in a diagonal pattern going around the entire cake.
If you prefer cupcakes to a regular cake, you can have candy sunflowers on top of the icing. You can also offer sunflower seeds to your guests as a memorable wedding favor. Set up a bucket or antique wheelbarrow with a sign directing everyone to “Take One” and throw in packets of sunflower seeds they can plant in their gardens.
For your ceremony space, you can set up a trellis and hang some green, hanging vines and sunflowers over it. You can use a natural or manufactured structure.
