An amazingly sweet strapless tea length wedding dress by David's Bridal is accented by a brown bridesmaid dress by Siri in a similar style. Long before the vows are exchanged, guests received yellow and brown sunflower invitations and save-the-dates from http://www.bellisstudios.com/ that really set the tone for the upcoming event. Sunflowers are simply everywhere from the bouquets to the decorations. They really help to create a bright, happy, and sunny atmosphere! When the evening is finally over, guests are sent home with their own sunflower seeds to help brighten up their gardens.

What to Wear Wednesday - Sunflower Theme Edition

Hello everyone and welcome back for What to Wear Wednesday!
Yesterday we looked at some really great sunflower themed table tops, stationary, and desserts in a yellow and brown palette with some accents of blue and red. The same goes for your wedding fashsions. Bridesmaid dresses in rich browns or bright yellow definitely scream sunflower. Or use some nice reds, greens, or blues to accent your main colours.
Like I wrote yesterday, sunflowers say bright and fun. So to match your theme, your fashions should definitely say the same. Dresses with fun cuts or cute accents are definitely the way to go. And for something as simple and elegant as a sunflower theme, you definitely want to keep your fashions on the simpler side. Let's have a look at some great examples.
Enjoy!

Table Top Tuesday - Sunflower Theme

Hello everybody and welcome back to another Table Top Tuesday!
This week is all about Sunflower Themes. Sunflowers say bright and happy so there couldn't be a more perfect accent to bright and happy wedding. Creating a sunflower colour palette couldn't be easier. Pairing bright yellows with rich browns while using small accents of greens, blues, or reds can really create an effective sunflower themed palette. Or if you really want to stay true to the sunflower theme, using actual sunflowers as accents is perfect. Check out these great ideas. Enjoy!
