Sunflowers are the epitome of warmth and happiness. With their big, bright faces, they instantly add a touch of sunshine to any bouquet. But they are also incredibly versatile and pair beautifully with other flowers. Below, we explain what flowers go well with sunflowers and how to make your bouquet even more special.
Bouquet Ideas with Sunflowers
- With Lavender
The tall, yellow sunflowers combined with soft purple lavender offer a striking contrast. The calm fragrance of lavender also balances the cheerful vibe of sunflowers. This duo is ideal for bouquets intended for relaxation or to brighten up a bedroom or living room.
- With Roses
Red or white roses are flowers that go well with sunflowers – they look stunning next to the sunny brightness of the latter. The combination speaks of both warmth and love. It is a perfect gift for anniversaries, birthdays, or even a casual dinner party. You can also switch things up by choosing peach or orange roses for a more autumnal theme.
- With Carnations
Carnations add a nice, soft texture to all floral arrangements. The ruffled petals of carnations, available in many colors, can tone down the boldness of sunflowers. Plus, they add a sophisticated touch. Try pairing sunflowers with pale pink or cream carnations. You’ll get a fresh, playful bouquet that is also super elegant.
- With Lilies
Lilies, with their graceful petals, make for a fantastic pairing with almost all blooms. The combination with sunflowers is bold and luxurious, perfect for occasions that require a little extra glam (such as weddings or special events). Opt for white or yellow lilies to create a coordinated look. Or, go for pink or orange lilies for a striking contrast.
- With Daisies
Adding daisies to the mix gives you a cheerful, whimsical bouquet full of charm. Both flowers carry a carefree, happy vibe. Pairing them creates a bouquet that feels like a summer field in full bloom. White daisies work wonderfully here, but you can also choose gerbera daisies in pink, red, or orange to add a pop of color.
- With Peonies
Peonies add a luxurious and romantic feel when paired with other flowers. Their soft, full blooms contrast beautifully with the bold, structured look of sunflowers. Choose soft pink or white peonies to balance the vibrant yellows. This combination is perfect for spring weddings, garden parties, or as a special treat for someone you love.
- With Baby's Breath
Baby's breath is the ultimate filler flower. Its delicate appearance works wonders with the strong presence of other elements in the bouquet. The small white blooms of the baby's breath soften the bouquet, making it look light and airy. This combination is perfect for casual, rustic arrangements or even wedding bouquets.
- With Aster
Asters’ star-shaped petals are a wonderful companion to sunflowers. They add texture and a splash of color, especially in shades of purple or blue. Asters work well in fall-themed bouquets. They add richness and depth to the vibrant yellow of other blooms.
- With Chrysanthemum
For an autumnal bouquet, sunflowers and chrysanthemums are a match made in heaven. Chrysanthemums come in a wide range of colors, from rich reds to bright yellows, and their full, rounded blooms complement the open, flat face of the sunflower. This combo is ideal for fall events or for bringing the cozy vibes of the season into your home.
- With Delphinium
Delphiniums add height and a burst of blue to floral arrangements. The tall, spiky blooms of delphinium provide a wonderful contrast to the round, sunny heads of sunflowers. You thus get a bouquet that feels both bold and elegant. This pairing is great for summer weddings or simply as a vibrant centerpiece for your home.
