I've been through my request book, and today I'm answering several of you who've been asking for a casual, barn-inspired sunflower arrangement — quick, easy, and full of that relaxed summer energy.
Two questions kept coming up, so let me answer them here:
What's the best container? Honestly, sunflowers are wonderfully unfussy — they look at home in rustic urns, polished earthenware, ceramics, glass, and yes, a classic jug like I'm using today. The vessel sets the mood; the sunflowers do the rest.
What pairs well with them? Sunflowers come with their own perfect foliage already attached, but if you want to add to the arrangement, the botanical world is generous — willow, olive, and eucalyptus all work beautifully. Today I'm using blackberries, because sunflowers peak in summer right alongside all that branched fruit, and nature clearly planned it that way.
See the video for how I put it all together.
You'll need:
- A rustic jug or vessel of your choice
- Sunflowers (with their own leaves — don't strip them!)
- A few sprigs of blackberries, raspberries, or any branched fruit — fresh or faux both work
