Verdila flowers - Sunny sunflower weddings

The sunflower is peaking right now, soon to end for the year. A truly seasonal flower.  You are not alone if you love them. Sunflower weddings are increasingly popular.
This large, flat faced, bold  flower now comes in a range of oranges and dusky reds as well as the more normal yellow golds. Also, depending on the time of year, you can get a range of flower sizes which is a relief when you are asked for a sunflower buttonhole.. clown comedic moment avoided for the groom!

Not all sunflowers are yellow nowadays

Sunflowers being large, make a statement in a bouquet. In terms of bouquet shape, the upright form or a domed handtied is best as they are also quite a heavy flower. These bouquets need careful assembly to show the flat faces off to their best.

Did you know that sunflowers track the sun? This means that the heads can turn to face the sun all day. Usually this happens most when the flower is young.
They are a seasonal cut flower from June to September but are most readily available between mid-July and August for UK grown.
Bold sunflowers make for perfect wedding or event décor.  Simply fixed on their own thay have impact but placed with a little foliage or filler material they look fantastic.
I much prefer fresh sunflowers as I think the artificial ones just look like that (unreal) but I am a florist!
