Faux Sunflower and Turquoise Summer Arrangement

I find sunflowers to be so perfect for decorating almost any time of the year. They are especially beautiful for the fall, but for this centerpiece, I will be using sunflowers along with white flowers to put together a summer arrangement that is simply an eye-catcher with its bright yellow color.

What flowers do you like to decorate with for the summer?

Do you like beach-themed decor, nautical decor, tropical?

There’s so many beautiful options for the summer! There are sunflowers, wildflowers, vibrant colors, lemons, watermelons. The options can go on and on.

Well, no matter what you like for summer decor, I hope this sunflower arrangement is a favorite for you!

Faux Sunflower and Turquoise Summer Arrangement

I’m starting with a few sunflowers, some green leaves and a few white faux flowers.

For my container, I will be using a turquoise glass from the Dollar Tree along with a bunch of marbles.

The marbles will help keep my flowers in place as well as act as a pretty vase filler.

Once filling my cup with the marble, I add a large sunflower, slightly off to the side.

Those leaves you see above will be going in next.

One large leaf off to the right and a couple of stems with smaller leaves off to the left. (FYI, these stems are just random stems that I took from other flowers in my faux flower stash)

Then I’m grabbing a couple of white flowers from IKEA (possibly named alliums but don’t quote me on that) and placing them to the “back” of my arrangement.

Now I have a few more flowers to work with…

A small sunflower goes around the back along with my white flowers…

A medium sized sunflower off to one side…

And those smaller white flowers go off to the other side.

I wanted these flowers to kind of cascade down the side so before placing them in, I made sure to bend the stem enough to get that effect.

Here is where I stopped and took some time to look at my arrangement, see if it needed more flowers and decide where I would be placing my arrangement.

Where I would be placing my arrangement was important because at this point it was pretty much done as long as I would be putting it somewhere that the back was not very noticeable. But if I was putting it somewhere that I could see the entire arrangement, I would want to add more flowers around the back.

That’s exactly what I ended up doing.

I added a couple more small sunflowers and another bunch of small white flowers all around the back and I slightly moved everything around a bit wherever I felt it needed some extra love 🙂

And that’s it for this arrangement!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
