SUNNY SUNFLOWERS

SUNFLOWERS

These end of the summer flowers
are so big, bold and brilliant!
Their warm yellow color helps to give us the last burst
of brilliant sunshine before autumn really sets in.
The rich brown center
reminds me that fall is here.
So it makes sense that these gorgeous
flowers make some of the best fall bouquets
and arrangements
for your home
or special events this season

Even babies love them

Some of the best

paintings

and most notable ones are sunflowers

These sunflowers look great in this type of French vase
called a Confit Pot

Pretty au Naturelle arrangements

are great for fall!
Sunflowers look great

in plain white vases

(um hello, are you going to my house with that delivery?????)

or in jars

(I love this sunny arrangement from DUSTY LU)
or bottles
or buckets

or even boots!!!

Some even make pretty pillows

There's nothing like a sunny wedding
with this sunny wedding flower

Here's an unexpected boutonniere

and here are some gorgeous bouquets

and centerpieces

and special arrangements

cakes and .....

of course,
CUPCAKES!

Yum!

I hope you have a SUNsational fall weekend!!
I've gotta run now and go find that delivery man
