Not everybody associates the vibrant sunflower with weddings. It exudes a bright feel that isn't quite formal or classic. Its form, stature, and structure is likened to the sun and evokes warm summer days. That's why this hardy flower is a favorite at outdoor weddings.

You don't have to limit yourself to using sunflowers only for rustic weddings. Sunflowers have proven to look well even when paired with classic elements.
