11 Beautiful Sunflower Wedding Ideas for Your Special Moments

Sunflowers are symbols of warmth and joy, making them a beautiful choice for weddings in the summer or fall.

If you’re looking for ideas on how to use sunflowers in your wedding decor, you’re in the right place. Here are 10 beautiful sunflower wedding designs using Ling’s moment’s beautiful silk (see silk flowers for wedding) and foam flowers.

Sunflower wedding color palettes

Before we go over our sunflower wedding ideas, let’s talk quickly about color palettes. 

Sunflowers tend to work well with other warm colors. We’re particularly fond of pairing sunflowers and burgundy tones together. Burgundy’s richness creates a fantastic contrast with the warm sunflowers. It’s perfect for autumn weddings, or brides who desire a bold look.

On the other hand, sunflowers can also pair well with light colors, like white and cream. You can use a softer color palette to create a more airy atmosphere that’s perfect for summer weddings.

It all depends on the look you’d like to create for your wedding day. 

Sunflower wedding sign

A wedding sign is one of the first things your guests will see when they arrive at your ceremony. Make them feel welcome by adding some bright sunflowers to your signage. This rustic wooden wedding sign uses sunflowers to add a pop of color to the design. It’s a wonderful way to set the tone for your ceremony with a striking, elegant style.

Sunflower lanterns

Lanterns can add a dreamy quality to your wedding lighting. You can hang them from trees as a gorgeous backdrop, set them on tables as centerpieces, or line the aisle with them to guide the bride. It’s an underrated and creative way to elevate the ambient lighting for both your ceremony and reception. 

Make your lanterns extra bright by adding sunflowers. You can tie them to your lanterns with ribbons for an effortless design that’s sure to look picture-perfect.

Sunflower aisle decor

When you walk down the aisle, you’re crossing over into a new chapter of your life. Make your journey one to remember with stunning sunflower aisle decor.

You can use sunflower floral arrangements to dress up the bases of pews or chairs, or set them by your wedding arch. It’s a warm and inviting way to create the perfect atmosphere for your ceremony.

Sunflower chair decor

You’re not limited to setting out floral arrangements on the floor. You can also use sunflowers to dress up the backs of chairs or pews.

These sunflower chair decorations use flowing fabric to create a graceful display. You can use them in conjunction with floral arrangements at the base of chairs or pews, or use them alone for a sophisticated statement. 

You can use them to designate special table settings or signify the bride or groom’s chairs at the wedding reception.

Sunflower wedding arch

Your wedding arch is the focal point of your wedding ceremony. It’s where you’ll exchange vows with your partner, making it home to one of the most special moments of your wedding. Make your wedding arch bright, sunny, and inviting by using sunflowers to dress it up.

This wedding arch uses sunflowers, accent flowers, and lush greenery along with flowing fabric. It’s a timeless way to dress up a plain wooden wedding arch.

Sunflower table runners

Want to transform a plain table (also see our wedding table linen) into a beautiful banquet spread? Use sunflowers and lush greenery to add texture and interest to your wedding tables.

You can easily create a beautiful table runner using Ling’s greenery garlands and sunflowers. It’s an effortless way to bring warmth and life to your wedding reception. You could also use this piece to create a special arrangement for your head table.

Sunflower centerpieces

Table runners are only one way to decorate at your wedding reception. If your tables are rounded, or you need an extra focal point for the table’s center, then you can use sunflower centerpieces to bring to life your table arrangements.

This centerpiece uses soft white roses and other accent flowers to create an airy effect. You can recreate it with Ling’s deluxe vintage sunflower box set.

If you’re styling a wedding on a budget, you could reuse the floral arrangements from your aisle decor. Just pick them up and place them on your wedding tables. Not only is it a simple way to save money on your special moments, but it can also keep your decor consistent throughout the day.

Sunflower sweetheart table

Your sweetheart table is where you’ll enjoy your first meal as a married couple. To make it stand out from the crowd at your reception, you can dress up your table with a special sunflower floral swag.

This sunflower sweetheart table uses rich burgundy with accents of soft pink to create a warm, inviting look. It’s the perfect way to elevate the decor at your reception and establish a special look for your head table.

Sunflower bridal bouquet

Sunflowers are the ultimate attention-grabbing flower, making them the perfect focal point flower for a bridal bouquet.

This elegant bridal bouquet uses sunflowers to add a burst of light and beauty to the bridal look. Deep burgundy roses add variety to the color palette, while still letting the sunflowers shine as the star. You can purchase it pre-made, or recreate it with your own style using Ling’s sunflower box sets.

Sunflower bridesmaids bouquets

Don’t forget the rest of your wedding party! Your bridesmaids will need something beautiful to hold as they stand by your side.

These sunflower bridesmaid bouquets use the same warm burgundy color palette as the bridal bouquet, helping create a cohesive look between you and your bridesmaids.

You could also choose a slightly different color palette for bridesmaid’s bouquets to add variety and depth to your wedding day. It all depends on the overall look you want to achieve.

Mini sunflower boutonnieres

Don’t forget the groom and groomsmen, either. When it comes to floral accessories, Boutonnieres are often overlooked. But they can help tie the whole wedding party’s look together.

These mini sunflower boutonnieres can add a perfect pop of warmth to a suit jacket or tux. It’s a wonderful way to coordinate with the bride and bridesmaids, creating a harmonious look for everyone involved in your ceremony.
