Guaranteed to make you smile, the sunflower is popping up all over bridal celebrations. We just love the way these happy blooms look in bridal bouquets and as part of the wedding decor.

Take a look at this stunner of a bouquet carried by bride Kristin Young when she married Marvin Brown last April.

Her bridesmaids’ bouquets were fabulous as well, thanks to the fresh work of Brady’s Floral Gallery. Notice their brown nail polish. So cute!

When a bride comes in and says her husband-to-be’s last name of “brown” is going to be part of the wedding theme, some people may get stalled.

Not this wedding party! The arch marking the place where Kristin and Marvin became husband and wife is a spectacular celebration of color: not just brown, but golds and oranges and deep greens.

Happy sunflower, and uptown brown: we now pronounce you a smashing combination!
