Bouquet Ideas

There are lots of advantages of using sunflowers in weddings. They have thick and large stems, and hence you do not have to make special arrangements for holding the bouquets. They last quite long and hence they look fresh for a longer period of time. The flower colors should always complement the gown of the bride and yellow being a nice bright color blends well with almost any color.

While using other flowers, make sure that you use those with colors that will mix well with yellow. Mums and carnations with their white, purple, and orange colors, make a nice addition to sunflower bouquets. While using sunflowers with large heads make use of just 3 to 5 of them and use more than 10 when you are using small ones with a diameter of 2 inches. Also use decorative material like baby's breath and floral wires. While arranging the sunflowers, make sure that each one of them faces outward in different directions. If you simply squeeze them together, the petals will get crushed. While arranging the sunflowers, arch the stems slightly to give it a natural look.

Though sunflowers are not as popular as roses or calla lilies, these are the best choice when you have a limited budget for the decorations. Sunflower wedding bouquets can be used for summer weddings, beach weddings, or a sunflower wedding theme, so have a beautiful and bright wedding and cast away any hint of gloom with sunflowers.
