    I love brilliant contrasting colors. What flowers would you have the girls hold with this dress? Input on sunflowers and gerbera daisies appreciated - those are my favorate!

    Well first of all, I *LOVE* dark blue with sunflowers. If I weren't having a winter wedding that is probably what I would choose! I think you could do sunflowers or possibly light pink gerbera daisies. Is your wedding going to be outside?

    Yes - the ceremony is outside pending weather, and the reception is in a barn. While I want to do rustic - such as sunflowers/daisies, my dress is a little more modern, so I thought theirs could be too. Originally I was thinking purple dresses with sunflowers (complimentary) colors, but my MOH loves this dress in royal blue.  Pink would be nice too!! Thank you for the input! I love and need as much input as possible.

    Ok so I'm going to give you this picture from theknot.com because it's something I would TOTALLY do if I were having an outdoor wedding, which I am not. Yes, I'm one of those girls who has her wedding planned for every season, every option, every-everything! :) This picture could be done for really any flower, I was thinking you could do a couple of sunflowers by the chairs closer to the ground facing the aisle, they would look a little like "spotlights" and people wouldn't have to worry about stepping on them!

    (Ok, so I couldn't find the original picture I wanted but these two also from theknot.com give you the general idea).

    @sarahsd - I love, love orange also - especially orange gerbera daisies. I would LOVE blue, yellow and orange. How are you thinking of incorporating all three?

     

    @Kansas Princess11 - I loveeee the daisy picture! Here comes potentially really silly question - how are they staying in the ground??

    @Ngolden1: As far as I know (this is just from me thinking about it for entirely too long!) they're in the ground with the individual "vases". They have little stem vases w/a plastic cap to keep the water in. I'm sure you'd have to check with your venue first since this would put holes in the ground but I think it would be worth it ;)

    Definitely bright bright - yellow, white or pink would be amazing combos with royal blue!
