Bride sunflower bouquet

Sunflowers are a popular wedding flower although many people think they are probably not suitable. Florists can get lovely sized flowers just right for your bouquets and buttonholes, just ask!

This lovely bride wanted a bright bouquet with this sunny flower included. We added another favourite flower, freesia and cornflowers for a hint of blue.



Due to the sunflowers we bound the length of the stems in satin ribbon



Beautiful sunflowers, freesia and cornflowers


The groomsmen all wore a single, small, sunflower for their buttonholes



I present these on a board for easy collection on the day


Traditional lapel corsages were presented to the special ladies, these were of freesia florets and foliage





All ready for their special day.


More to follow on the wedding breakfast set up.

If you have a favourite flower and want it included in your wedding blooms get in touch for a chat.

Sunflower wedding flowers

Jemma's wedding was all sorted remotely, a brief conversation on the phone and emailed photos of bouquets and table designs she liked. The overriding component though was sunflowers and gyp.
To see other sunflower weddings click here and here

The bridal bouquet was large sunflowers surrounded by clouds of gyp with a little foliage as a supporting collar. 

The stems were wrapped in bright yellow satin ribbon


Slightly unusually the 5 adult bridesmaids each carried a large single sunflower with the stem completely wrapped in yellow ribbon with a bow and trails under the head.
These are usually carried by the smaller bridesmaids but looked fantastic against the dresses.


The 3 flower girls wore a single small sunflower on their wrists tied onto yellow satin ribbon.


The groomsmen all wore a small sunflower buttonhole with leaves, and ears of corn. The stems were wrapped in twine.



The ladies wore a similar buttonhole with added gyp.



The bridal party flowers ready for delivery to the bride. 
This would be our first meeting on handing over, always a nervous time for me, especially when the bride has gone walkabout and no-one can get hold of her! Take your phone with you ladies if you pop out for some air.
Anyway, the flowers were greatly received and I got a hug so all was going well when I left. 


The bridal bouquets are always handed over to the bride personally. I want to see you are happy with them, usually in a hotel that means bringing them up to your room. If you are mid hair/make up I can talk to you while you are still being beautified. I show you each bouquet and who's is who's and check any buttonholes etc are where you want them. 
Some hotels will have a cooler room for storing them while you get ready other unfortunately don't. 
The bride usually receives the flowers first then the groom, then reception, so any changes to peoples whereabouts and buttonholes can be accommodated. 

If you like these designs or are wanting to discuss your wedding flower options please get in touch today to book a consultation.

Sunflower wedding bouquets

This lovely sunny wedding was all about sunflowers. The bride loved them! Her bouquet was a simple design of 5 large sunflowers with tree fern and salal foliage.
The stems were bound with twine to carry on the overall rustic look of the wedding.
The bridesmaids each carried a bouquet of 3 large sunflowers with tree fern, the stems were again bound with twine.
The grooms men each wore a small sunflower as a buttonhole with no extra foliage. These stems were again bound with twine.
All buttonholes are delivered pinned onto a board.
The ladies wore a double ivory rose buttonhole with matching foliage to the brides bouquet.
