A quick & beautiful style guide for golden hour sessions in bloom
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.
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.
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
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
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!
