    I have been to two different weddings that used sunflowers as their flowers, and the bridesmaids in both weddings wore blue. In one of the weddings, the bridesmaids wore David's Bridal color, cornflower, and the bridesmaids in the other wedding wore a color similar to David's bridal's color, Malibu. Both looked great, but I think the cornflower color looked better!! I'm also a 2017 bride!! Smiley smile

    Hi Kayla, welcome to WW! Make sure to upload a picture for your avatar (instead of the default icons) so that we can get to know you and tell you apart from all the other posters. Also, you'll get more responses with a different picture, because the default icons can be associated with spammers/trolls Smiley smile You can do this on a desktop computer under My Settings and Profile and Privacy Settings.

    I always think of @Rebecca when I hear sunflowers!! Hope you don't mind @Rebecca that I'm sharing your BAM!

    Awww thanks Lynnie! Of course I don't mind Smiley winking

    @Kayla, you have a lot of options with sunflowers! Deep purples and/or blues look great with sunflowers. Yellow and gray has become a popular color combo as well. Check out Pinterest and try different color combos to see what looks good to you. I only had a matron of honor, but she wore a navy dress (technically a midnight blue color) and I attached a pic so you could see that.

    We have sunflowers in our wedding and the bridesmaid dresses are cobalt blue from Belsoie.

    I used sunflowers with my bridesmaids in wine-colored dresses--here's a picture to get an idea. Personally I love them with fall colors.

    I love the darker blue, but if you want more neutrals I like a gray.

    We've done gorgeous weddings with sunflowers as the feature bloom. It worked best when the ladies of honor wore royal/navy blue or red. Stunning actually...

    Those of you that chose blue and sunflowers, can you tell me what other colors you used? I've picked a blue violet dress for my bridesmaids but I'm having a REALLY hard time deciding on what other color(s) to use. My wedding is rustic but summer. Thoughts?

    I'm going sunflowers! We are doing all neutrals. Our bridesmaid dress are going to be "biscotti" from David's bridal. I didn't want to add anymore colors because I feel like sunflower is a pretty bright color. The royal blue though does look gorgeous with sunflowers though.

    Nicole, I think the blue and sunflower would be enough! I don't think you need any other colors. Maybe you could add in gray if you felt like you needed a "filler" color? I loooove gray and sunflower.

    Not sure if you're going for more traditional yellow, but sunflowers come in other colors too Smiley smile my FH always gets me at least one sunflower in bouquets, so I definitely want to try to incorporate one (or a few) into my bridal bouquet to pay homage to his "tradition". However, yellow does not match the look we're going for. The dark Burgundy sunflowers or the "strawberry blonde" ones do, so we are looking into those!
