Yellow Wedding Flowers

We chose sunflowers as the main flower for our wedding. They are such happy flowers!

The bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages were made by Petals and Portraits. Ranae was wonderful to work with. She brought our vision to life! My bouquet was made of sunflowers, yellow roses, and baby's breath. I created the wooden heart using a wood burner to carve our initials.

In order to keep costs down, we ordered the flowers for all the centerpieces from Costco. The flowers arrived on time and were gorgeous. My maid of honor and myself assembled all of the centerpieces two days before the wedding and stored them in my dad's basement until the wedding day. We saved a ton of money by doing this and it was a lot of fun putting them together with my best friend!

I was originally planning to create the bouquets myself, but it was such a relief to have someone else do them for us. If you are looking to keep costs down though, I'd highly recommend ordering flowers in bulk for a good DIY project. The flowers all looked beautiful!

Wedding Party Attire

When it came to the wedding party's attire, I was determined not to be the type of bride who would force her friends to purchase expensive clothing that they don't even like. So we decided on a color scheme and let our bridal party pick what they wanted to wear based on that.

For the bridesmaids, we decided the dresses should be chocolate brown and knee length, since our wedding wasn't super formal. I told them to find a brown dress they love! I also asked them to find a pair of yellow flats. For our gift to each of them, we purchased a matching necklace and pair of earrings that I found at Kohl's. The yellow pashminas were a later addition (also from Kohl's) when we realized it would likely be a chilly fall day. They all looked absolutely beautiful!

For the groomsmen, we decided to go with brown dress pants, brown shoes, and white dress shirts. We figured these seemed like items the guys might be able to use again for work clothing and we let them pick their own. Our gift to them was the yellow tie and a pair of brown suspenders. I purchased them from Amazon.

I love how everyone's outfits came together so well! I am a big supporter of letting the wedding party find clothing that they like. Everyone has a different body type and budget!
