25 Stunning Sunflower Wedding Bouquets (2)

Sunflowers might not be the first flower that comes to mind when you think of a bridal bouquet—they are big, bold, and very yellow. But if you’re looking for a bouquet that is certain to make a statement, these cheerful blossoms are well worth your attention.

Sunflowers can be utilized in a variety of ways across multiple seasons: A summer soirée may feature sunflowers to complement a bright color palette, while other varieties of sunflowers, like dried flowers, might be the perfect match for a fall wedding with moody, rustic hues. Whether you’re hoping for a sunflower bouquet that only features this big, colorful flower, or a single sunflower stem tucked amongst other blooms, there’s a fit for every style.

Below, find 25 stunning sunflower bouquets to inspire your own.
