ok so up until now I wanted to have sunflowers as the main flower at my wedding with green and a few purple accents. we are getting married on a ranch but we wanted a more Tuscan feeling wedding instead of ranch, so i thought that sunflowers would pull it all together nicely. After looking at pictures online and looking at them at a florist I'm not too sure. I think the centers are just way too big and the flower is sometimes too big. I thought about doing mini sunflowers but those have the huge centers too. I looked at some "yellow flower" pictures here on the knot and saw several arrangements with Gerbera (sp?) daisies. I love these flowers (I used fake ones to decorate my bathroom) and I've even seen them with darker centers so they kinda look like sunflowers. I want to do those instead, but I'm crazy and still have many concerns.
So I need some help. Has anyone used or is using sunflowers? how do/did you like them? Also, if i knick the sunflowers does that tear apart my "Tuscan" inspiration which is very loose to begin with? does anyone think the daisies will be better? The whole idea of the wedding is simplicity, neither of us is very extravagant and flowers aren't exactly at the top of our list.
Sorry it's so long... I have nothing to do at work but dwell about flowers and wedding stuff! haha! I haven't really made any big decisions with anything yet except ordering deep purple bridesmaids dresses soooo..... Thanks for the help!!!
