This quick guide is designed to help you choose flattering colors, comfortable shoes, and picture-perfect outfits that complement the soft golden tones of the field.
Whether you're planning for kids, couples, or the whole family, these tips will make getting ready stress-free and fun.

Best Colors for Sunflower Fields

The backdrop is full of vibrant yellows and rich green stems, so your outfits should either:

  • Contrast softly (neutrals or pastels)

  • Complement warmly (earth tones and deep hues)

Top Color Picks:

  • Cream, ivory, soft white

  • Dusty blue, denim

  • Sage green, olive

  • Soft pink, blush, peach

  • Rust, camel, tan

  • Navy, charcoal, deep teal

🚫 Avoid bright yellow, neon colors, or bold prints that clash with the flowers.

Style Tips

Keep it timeless & relaxed:

  • Choose soft, flowing fabrics like cotton, linen, or light knits

  • Avoid stiff collars or overly trendy pieces

  • Add texture with subtle patterns (like gingham, florals, or lace)

For families:

  • Coordinate, don’t match

  • Choose 2–3 complementary colors and mix tones throughout outfits

Footwear + Extras

Shoes:
The field is rustic! Avoid heels—opt for boots, sandals, or bare feet for kids.

Accessories that photograph beautifully:

  • Straw hats

  • Hair ribbons or simple flower crowns

  • Linen blankets for seated poses

  • Avoid sunglasses and smart watches during the shoot

Final Tips

  • Try on outfits early—check comfort + fit

  • Avoid logos or text on clothing

  • If in doubt, send me a photo! I’m happy to help you style your crew

Thank you again for booking your sunflower session—I can’t wait to see what you choose!
