Sunflower Bouquet

alisehughey

Hey! I am get married in October 2012, and I plan to use sunflowers at the main flower in my bouquets/centerpieces. I want to use mustard and a chocolate brown for 2 of my colors. What other colors do you all think would complement this? Also, what flowers would pair well? Thanks! Happy planning to you all!

I used 2 sizes of sunflowers, chocolate brown rananculus, white gerber daisies, and yellow roses in my bouquet. Here's a picture...

Please don't hate me, but I personally hate mustard and brown together, EXCEPT for sunflowers, lol.

I think any color or type of sunflowers would look lovely with your colors.  I think the simplicity of all sunflowers would look nice by themselves:



But I think using a little extra color adds an especially nice touch.  Like a bit of orange, red, or even purple can liven up the brown/mustard palette.  Maybe use typical fall flowers, like asters, dahlias, daisies, or mums for a little background/filler color, to make the golden or red sunflowers as the main focal flowers.

I especially like the first picture below, with the hypericum berries, and like the unexpected orange/red tiger lilies in the second picture:
