I'd love to be able to see them in a starring role in real life. That said, there are indeed many other wedding flower options out there that are just as pretty or prettier, so brides-to-be shouldn't necessarily limit themselves. La BellaDonna: You and me both!

I mean, don't get me wrong - they have wonderful long stems and large blossoms, so it's really easy to make a bouquet without a ton of flowers. And I love gerbera daisies, they're so cheerful! But they're SO popular at weddings! I'm really feeling the sunflowers idea. Fall flowers can really POP just like summer flowers without being as ... well, as common. Even something as simple as a chrysanthemum, when you get the big pompoms in white and purple and yellow and red and orange, can be really showy. Asters, nasturtiums, marigolds, celosia, strawflowers, hydrangea... there's really a lot of options! The best part about these is that a lot of them dry REALLY well, and a lot of them can be grown in a summer garden for fall harvesting! But then, I mean, I can also totally get behind the gerbera daisy idea because I just love them SO much... Is anyone else getting tired of gerbera daisies at weddings?
