    I love sunflowers and want to use them but can't decide on what dress color goes best with the yellow sunflowers. At first I was thinking cobalt blue because I feel like together, they're very "springy" but now I'm thinking that they might be a little too bright. Any ideas for other color combos?!

    Do a google search for "sunflower wedding pictures". I just did and there are a ton of ideas.

    Good luck to you.

    yellow/mustard, bronze/copper, or if you like the blues maybe cornflower blue.

    I like brown to match the center of the sunflowers... if not that, maybe something in the "hot" colors - red or orange? I feel like a cool color would be *too* much contrast.

    Check out "horizon" from David's Bridal.  Also, what about chocolate brown, pale green, or maybe a nice orange?  Those would look very nice!

    I love the sound of blues or browns with sunflowers.  If they have very brown centers I would be tempted to go brown but if they had lighter centers I would be tempted to go blue.

    With the oranges and browns, you may be making it a little too autumnal. I agree with the person who suggested cornflower blue. Or maybe, even a pretty teal color would be nice.

    I like blue, since it's a contrasting color, but I also like a bold look, so....

    Definitely the cobalt blue or an indigo blue.....maybe even a soft cornflower blue to make the sunflower pop.  You're in that late spring/early summer timeframe where it would look gorgeous!

    BTW - You picked a great wedding date; Its my fiancee's birthday and our first wedding date choice! :)

    You could try purple/indigo as well. I think that it would be good together.

    Our plan is to use daisies, we are doing a navy dress with a "butter" colored sash. I think it's GORGEOUS!! :) I like the brown idea also
