If you’re searching for wedding bouquet inspiration, sunflowers might not be the first flower that comes to mind—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 20 stunning sunflower bouquets to inspire your own.

Add Length with Greenery

While sunflowers add bold, bright color thanks to their large petals, there isn't much texture that comes with them. We love the addition of plenty of other blooms in a variety of colors, with longer pieces of greenery to make a bouquet that much more interesting.
