Need more ideas for a country wedding with sunflowers...?
Our wedding is going to have a country (not cowboy) theme with lots of sunflowers. We are going to put sunflowers in mason jars, use baby food jars for votive size candles, serve old fashioned lemonade from metal washtubs and have a cookout instead of a church reception, use lots of raffia where ribbon would usually be and use yellow rose petals are added decoration. We thought of having antique family photos here and there.
Any other ideas? We are only have a few people at our wedding and we are trying to spend very little while still making it nice.
I think your idea is adorable! I have a few ideas for you.
First of all, I think if you take the labels and all the glue off of the baby jars and tie the raffia around it in a bow that would be adorable and very "country"! I aslo think you should keep the candles all white...you don't want the brown and yellow thing to get too overwhelming and busy. More class, less color. Plus if you stick to white it will be easier to match everything else to.
If your reception is outside then hanging lanterns from the trees would be a really great idea. it would add a lot of ambiance!
And I don't know what kind of tables you were thinking of using but I just saw in the People magazine that Rebecca Romin used wooden pic nic tables and the pictures were adorable. Plus with the candles and sunflowers it would look really nice.
I don't think you should over do the theme by having all yellow and brown foods. Just have what you want, and what sounds good to you.
Another fun idea would be to have bobbing for apples out of the metal washtubs for the children who will be attending...I bet you would get some adorable pics out of that and the kids would have a blast.
Keep it simple, light and airy for your country wedding theme.
Have fun and let me know if you need any more ideas.
Hope these were useful to you.
