Delightful Daisy Flower Wedding

Nothing signifies summer like a sunny daisy flower wedding theme. New growth, fresh air, and gentle warm sunshine... these are just some of the thoughts that come to mind when thinking of daisies. What a delight to center your wedding celebration around this simple, yet popular flower.

Wedding Colors To Use:

White & yellow are the perfect choice for a wild-flower daisy theme.

You may also choose to showcase a wide variety of daisies, instead of just focusing on the common white daisy. If so, read farther down to the flower listing to see the different types and colors available.

Wedding Attire:

• Get some nice photos of daisies. Have them enlarged on photo paper (go to a printer for this as you'll want to make these quite large). Cut out around the shapes of the daisies and tape them to the walls. Make a "field of daisies" on the wall behind the head table, if you choose. A good place to get some great photos is at www.morguefile.com (this is a free photo site - however you must follow the photographer's requests if there are any).
  
  
• If you can find them, you could string up twinkling daisy lights around the room.
  
  
• Line wicker baskets with white or yellow cloth. Glue silk daisies around the edge of the basket. Add some ribbons and bows at the handles. Fill with favors and use as centerpieces.
  
  

• Place a single daisy in mini-flower vases in soft pastel colors.
  
  
• Fill glass bowl with water. Add some yellow food coloring. Float daisy candles and flower petals in water. Another option is to use a medium-tall glass vase or glass. Fill 1/3 of bottom with clear glass beads. Float daisy candle on top.
  
  
• Place a ring of daisies around a pillar candle in the center of the table. Decorate the lower end of the candle with daisy stickers and ribbon.
  
  
• If you have the patience, you could print out a variety of colored daisies in different sizes and cut them out to scatter over the tabletops.
  
  
• Use a galvanized watering can and fill with a bouquet of daisies for a folk-art look.
  
  

• Paint small terracotta flower pots in pastel colors. Fill with daisy shaped chocolates. Gather pastel colored tulle around pot and tie with ribbon.
  
  
• Wrap daisy shaped soaps in tulle as favors.
  
  
• Present your guests with chocolate bars wrapped in home-printed or purchased daisy candy bar wrappers.
  
  
• Give your guests bottles of bubbles. Glue a small, silk daisy on bottle or on bottle cap.
  
  
• Bookmarks with daisy picture and a special saying, such as:
  He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me, We Tied The Knot."
