You can’t help but love a sunflower. Sure, they may be at the centre of many a tacky wedding display, but that’s really not their fault.
Used artfully, these bold, joyous beauties will bring an effortless vibrancy to your celebration like few other flowers can. A clutch of two or three giants (like those pictured above by Brooke Adams) make an easy bouquet for a relaxed soiree, while a crown crafted from their smaller cousins is the ultimate in flower power, perfect for a festival wedding.
There’s a bunch of ways to incorporate this quintessentially summer bloom into your big day. Need a little guidance? Be sure to hit up one of our talented florists.

Snapped by Brown Paper Parcel, this sunflower wedding arch is almost as cute as the couple beneath it. Almost.
Sydney's The Sisters sure know their way around a bouquet. We love the mix of foraged grasses and wild flowers for an earthy, boho look.
Have you ever seen a more gorgeous backdrop? What better way to brighten your wedding portraits than amidst a meadow of sunflowers. Beautiful capture by Brook Adams.
