Calla Lily and Greenery Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love today’s bouquet! It’s a classic style with a twist because it isn’t as buttoned up as I usually see Calla Lily bouquets. It’s a little wild, lush, and would look great in any wedding venue. Amanda reached out to me about her daughter-in-law’s bouquet, and I was excited to work with her to get it just right! This handtied style bridal bouquet is a mix of large white Calla Lilies, Eucalyptus and Ficus with a touch of twine wrapped around the stems. Let’s take a look at how it turned out in silk wedding flowers!

Photo of original bouquet provided by the bride.

“I wanted to let you know I received the flowers yesterday and they are gorgeous!!! You did a beautiful job and far surpassed my expectations. They look so real! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to give them to my daughter in law for Christmas. She is going to love them. ”
— Amanda | Texas

Short Turn Around, Dream Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Have you ever had a deadline for work, school or personal goals that required you to problem solve at top speed? Today’s wedding is this very situation! Vera contacted with me with just about two weeks until her wedding date. She had come across a wedding I did that was of Royal Blue, Light Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers, and she fell in love with the color combination and the flowers. Thankfully, I could get a hold of what I needed to recreate the look for her. Here are some photos by Ryan Michaels Photography of Vera’s dream wedding flowers!

Vera wanted a simple look with royal blue Roses, light blue Roses and white Baby’s Breath in a smaller handtied style bridal bouquet.

There were a few additional items that she wanted to tie everything together including some small flowers for her hair and a matching groom’s boutonniere of a royal blue Rose, white Baby’s Breath and a touch of greenery.

“I wanted silk flowers for my wedding and after some googling found a picture of a bouquet that I LOVED at Love is Blooming. I only had a few weeks before my wedding at this point, so I emailed Erin and asked her if she could make something like that for me in that time frame. She said yes and sent over pictures within a day or two. She made a beautiful bouquet and boutonniere for my husband. I wanted some white flowers in my hair and asked her if she had any left over from the bouquet that she could send me, and she said she did. She also sent some extra blue flowers that I was able to use for decorations around the cake that went with my bouquet. And she included the extra flowers for free. Everything was beautiful and she got it done so quickly!”
— V | California

Cake flowers don’t need to be over the top. A small cluster of Hydrangea in the right color was just what Vera’s cake needed!

The great thing about silk wedding flowers is that everything is custom and you are working directly with me. Despite our short turn around time, Vera got all the items she wanted and they were within her budget and matched her vision for her wedding day.

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation for a Shadowbox - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

I love a good DIY, which is kind of why I ended up starting Love is Blooming Silk Wedding Flowers! Today’s silk bridal bouquet recreation became part of a DIY project by bride Nicola. She sent me photos of her bouquet with the plan to enclose the bouquet in a shadowbox along with other keepsakes from her wedding day. Let’s take a look at the photos of her bouquet and the recreation!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers

Her round handtied bouquet was a mix of white, dusty pink and burgundy Roses, with special gold dyed greenery. The challenge with this arrangement is that the shadowbox was only going to be a few inches deep, so I couldn’t recreate an actual round bouquet, it needed to showcase all the elements, but be flat at the back. Nicola was kind enough to send me her finished project so we can see how it all turned out!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers-diy
“I am so happy I found “Love is Blooming Silk Wedding Flowers” to recreate my wedding bouquet. I was so sad when I couldn’t preserve my real flowers. I reached out to the business and got connected with Erin. Erin was so kind, professional and communicated every step of the way. She sent me samples of what flowers and ribbons she can use. Upon completion she sent me a picture of the finished product. When I received the flowers It looked just like my real wedding flowers and the emotions of my special day came back. Thank you Erin !!”
— Nicola | Florida

A full sized custom bridal bouquet recreation may not be practical for your situation, but a shadowbox might be a great compromise. Here are a few other brides who took this idea and made it their own:

Silk Flower Arrangement to Honor a Loved One- Reveal and Review

Last year, my dear friend lost her Grandmother. I attended the funeral, and it was a sweet time to see photos and hear stories from her family of what a loved and godly woman she was. When Kelli asked me to recreate an arrangement from the funeral to give to her mom, I was honored! I absolutely loved the bright pop of color and that this wasn’t a typical funeral arrangement. Let’s take a look!

The original arrangement included blush pink Roses and Peonies, white Hydrangea and Queen Anne’s Lace, pink Delphinium, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and a few show stopping bright pink Amaryllis. I loved the varying heights, the shades of pink and the asymmetrical shape.

“I asked Erin to replicate the floral arrangement at my grandma’s funeral in silk as a gift to my mom. I was blown away by what a beautiful job she did! Erin took the time to examine the photos we took of the original arrangement to recreate it so closely. My mom was thrilled with the final product and it is displayed in a place of prominence in her home. I highly recommend Erin for any project you have, large or small. She cares about each client and will take the time to work with you to create just what you want!”

, ,

Megan is a sweet local bride who helped me design the sweetest custom silk wedding flower arrangements for her Twin Cities wedding. When she first reached out to me, she didn’t have a specific color palette except that she wanted to incorporate white and also mentioned wanting to include a flower that looked like a Marigold. She took some time to browse my blog and sent me some of her favorite styles, including:

Let’s take a look at the gorgeous photos she sent me from her photographer: Eric Vest Photography. If you are local to the Twin Cities, be sure and check him out if you need a photographer for your wedding day!

Megan’s bridal bouquet was a loose, round style with a mix of white and nude Roses, white Mums (close in shape to those Marigolds), white Baby’s Breath and Seeds and some soft sage green Lamb’s Ear for greenery.

The groom’s boutonniere was a Nude Rose, white Seeds and Baby's breath, Lamb's Ear and matching ribbon on the stem

“We got SO many compliments on the flowers Erin made for us and feel so grateful and fortunate that we had an opportunity to work with her. THANK YOU, Erin, for making the most impeccable flowers and making our wedding flower dreams come true!!”

Green and White Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Today’s sweet bride is local to me, so I got the pleasure of handing off her flowers in person. That’s always a fun treat for me to see their excitement when I get to show them the bridal bouquet they’ll be walking down the aisle holding. Emma was so easy to work with and had a pretty clear vision of green and white flowers for her custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at some Minneapolis silk wedding flowers photographed by the talented Jenny Cvek Photography. You can also find her here on Instagram.

Here’s our beautiful bride Emma! Her custom silk bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of white Roses, Peonies, and Gardenia, plus Lamb's Ear, Small and Standard Eucalyptus, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and blue Thistle.

The groom’s boutonniere was a white Rose bud and blue Thistle with a mix of the greenery and matching ribbon.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, but without the standard Eucalyptus. That slight difference just makes the bridal bouquet different, but still matching.

What a great looking bridal party!

“I absolutely loved how our wedding flowers turned out, it was exactly what I was dreaming of and they looked amazing in photos! Erin was so nice to work with and everything was customizable to what I wanted, a great experience overall. She does an amazing job and is so talented at what she does. She made our bouquets and boutonnières and worked with our short timeline and budget as well. Totally recommend Erin!!”

White and Green Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal & Review

, ,

If you are looking for wedding flowers for any season, any venue, or any decade, then today’s custom silk wedding flowers are exactly what you are looking for! Jenna reached out to me with her classic color palette of green and white and sent me some inspiration photos of bouquets she liked the look of. She had sent in the Free Bride’s Checklist and included a few of her favorite flowers, so she really made it easy for me to catch her vision! I’m excited to share some photos from Jenna’s wedding, captured by the very talented Sawyer Creek Photography!

white-green-custom-bridal-bouquet-boutonniere-silk-wedding-flowers

Jenna’s bridal bouquet was a large, loose, handtied style bouquet with a mix of white Roses, Peonies, Larkspur, small filler seeds for texture, Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The groom’s boutonniere was a white rose, Larkspur, seeds, greens and ribbon that matched the bridal bouquet.

Jenna wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to be very similar to her bouquet. I used the same mix of flowers but left out the Larkspur. The look was very cohesive but set the bridal bouquet apart just every so slightly.

What a classy looking bridal party. And I’m loving the muted tone of the bridesmaid dresses with the pop of green and white from the bouquets.

“I got soooooo many compliments on them, everyone was amazed when I told them they weren’t real flowers.”

Sunflower Spotlight - Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s Thanksgiving week, and I thought it would be fun to spotlight Sunflowers! They are often a popular flower choice for fall arrangements because of their sunny color and how well they fit in with all the jewel tones. They’re also typically associated with fall (navy, burgundy, orange, emerald). If you love Sunflowers, custom silk wedding flowers are a great option to have since fresh Sunflowers are huge and not always in season. Let’s take a look at some bridal bouquets and matching bridesmaid bouquets to see a variety of ways that Sunflowers can be incorporated into different styles of bouquets.

I love this first look! It’s classic and classy with Sunflowers, white Roses, Baby’s Breath, a touch of black Skimmia Berries, mini Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in round handtied style bouquets. We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to only include Sunflowers and Baby’s Breath, but you can see how well it matches the bridal bouquet without being identical.

Bridal Bouquet

Bridesmaid Bouquet

The texture in these next bouquets are pretty awesome! There is lots of color and variety in this modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet. It includes Sunflowers, burgundy Roses and Dahlia, red Peonies, dusty blue Delphinium, Baby’s Breath, white Heather, burgundy Lamb’s Ear, Blueberries, burgundy Amaranthus, and Ruscus. This has a very classic fall vibe without having too much of the harvest fest feel.

Bridal Bouquet

Bridesmaid Bouquet

Here’s another modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet that incorporates Sunflowers, but for a very different feel! It has a some brighter tones that really allow the Sunflowers to pop! This custom silk bridal bouquet included dusty rose Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, blue Delphinium, Baby’s Breath, Fern, and Eucalyptus. It’s bright and playful but could work for a spring, summer or fall wedding! The smaller matching bouquet is actually the toss bouquet that incorporated the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet in clutch size. I added some ribbon tails for style as it got thrown to the waiting ladies.

Bridal Bouquet

Toss Bouquet

The last set of custom silk flower arrangements has a moodier vibe with darker tones but touches of brightness. The bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with burgundy Roses and Dahlia, white Garden Roses, Sunflowers with burgundy centers, Baby’s Breath, white Heather, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Seeded Eucalyptus and sage mini Ruscus. The bridesmaid bouquet used the same mix of flowers but in a handtied style with lots of greenery.

Custom Bouquet & Boutonniere Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

We are in the thick of fall here in Minnesota (and unfortunately, we’ve had our first snow fall already), so today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation and custom boutonniere recreation is a perfect share on a day like today! Laura actually found me by asking Copilot, an AI powered assistant. That’s a first for me, but I’m happy however you might find me! She sent me some lovely shots by the very talented Jessica Yurko Photography and was hoping to have them done in time for her upcoming October anniversary. Let’s take a look at the arrangements!

Laura’s bridal bouquet was a handtied style with burgundy Garden and Spray Roses, Sunflowers, burgundy Calla Lilies, Billy Buttons, burgundy Mums, Queen Anne’s Lace, yellow Statice, Hypericum Berries, Pittosporum, Agonis, and some small filler greenery and seeds. I just love the rich colors and interesting textures that her florist combined!

The groom’s boutonniere was a single white Calla Lily, Hypericum Berries, yellow Statice, white Baby’s Breath, Agonis and some greenery wrapped with twine.

“I found Love Is Blooming by google search. I worked closely with Erin to recreate my bouquet and my husband’s boutonniere. She worked from oddly angled photos and beautifully stylized photography, since it was three years later. Not only did Erin skillfully recreate these memories, she also recreated our original feelings! Thank you Love Is Blooming for reminding us of our very special day <3”

Bright and Happy Custom Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Corbin found me on his hunt for a special anniversary gift for his wife. He shared with me that they had moved recently and had to decide about keeping her “old, dried up bridal bouquet.” They ultimately decided to say goodbye to it, but his wife kept a bouquet of silk flowers from her friend’s wedding. That gave Corbin the idea to have her bouquet recreated in silk flowers. And that’s how he found me! He sent me photos of her bouquet, and I loved how bright and happy and full of texture her bouquet was. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original, featured in these photos by MLE Photo Art by Emily Wysocki.

The original bouquet was a large, loose handtied style bouquet with some draping greenery. It consisted of peach Roses, cream Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, blue Delphinium, pink Delphinium, yellow Freesia, Queen Anne’s Lace, Ruscus, Sword Eucalyptus, Gunni Eucalyptus and small filler greens.

Custom Bridal Bouquet Recreation Anniversary Gift - Reveal

Tyler reached out to me about an anniversary gift for his wife. He sent over photos of her beautiful bridal bouquet and I got to work looking for the closest matches I could find. Let’s take a look at how it shaped up!

Schilling Photography

The original bouquet was a mix of of white Hydrangea, white and coral Roses, Eucalyptus and Seeds in a round handtied style with some cascading greenery.

Schilling Photography

“I sent Erin a few pictures of my wife’s wedding bouquet to make a replica and she absolutely nailed it! She kept me updated on the process and asked to see other pictures if she was not 100% sure. She really worked with me, since I know nothing about flowers, and was able to recreate it just from the pictures. My wife loved it! I let her open it out of the box because I was excited to give it to her and she was very surprised. She had to look at pictures to compare because it looked exactly the same as her wedding bouquet. She immediately started to find a place to display it after that. I think she was a little speechless, but was definitely excited about it. It will always be there to remind us of our special day!”

Coral, Blush, White and Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

It might be the week of Halloween, but if you are looking forward to your spring wedding, today’s silk wedding flowers might give you the inspiration you need! Katie’s coral, blush, white and gold color scheme was fun to work with. This combination of colors and a touch of shine with the gold was both a really romantic theme and also a little glamorous! I’m also excited to get to show you the usual bridal bouquet photos, but she also sent some awesome photos of her custom silk flower altar arrangement and cake flowers! Let’s take a look at these lovely photos from Liz Marie Photography.

Katie’s bouquet was a loose, modified cascade style bouquet with a mix of nude Roses, blush Hydrangea, blush Spray Roses, dark and light coral Rose buds, white Roses, gold Greenery and mini Ruscus. The gold brought some shine while the greenery really popped for their outdoor wedding.

The bridesmaids were in beautiful matching coral dresses that brought out those tones so nicely in the bouquets. They carried bouquets that were a loose handtied style with the same mix of flowers as Katie’s bouquet.

Katie also ordered 3 custom silk flower cake clusters to go on the layers of her wedding cake. They were all a little different from each other but incorporated the color scheme and some gold greenery.

Since Katie’s mom lived near by, we didn’t have to worry about shipping larger arrangements like her altar flowers. That meant her corner piece could be big and awesome. She also ordered a matching smaller piece for the other side of the arch for an asymmetrical look.

These lilacs sure make a beautiful backdrop!

Silk Flower Aisle Arrangements and Centerpieces Do Double Duty!

,

I absolutely love the versatility that custom silk wedding flowers affords brides of any budget. Maricel reached out to me about a unique idea for ceremony and reception silk flowers. When she emailed me, she asked, “We were wondering if it would be possible to make the aisle arrangements in such a way that it could be broken apart into smaller pieces and reused as table decor during the reception?”

Her idea was both creative and budget friendly, and you know I’m all about both of those things! They were planning on using wood boxes for both the ceremony decor and centerpiece containers, so that was an easy way to make sure that what I created would fit both spaces. Let’s take a look at what I came up with for Maricel’s silk flower aisle arrangements and centerpieces so they could do double duty! Here are some lovely photos by Andrew Do Photography!

All of the arrangements consisted of a variety of white and champagne flowers, touches of blush pink and greenery. We included white Lilies, mini Cabbage Roses, Phalaenopsis Orchids and Gardenia in white, champagne Hydrangea, pink Peonies, Garden Roses and Eucalyptus, lush green Fern and Ruscus. Each aisle piece was actually two smaller arrangements placed together for a nice full look.

For the reception, they just needed a few helping hands to grab the aisle arrangements, separate the two small bouquets and place each one in a container on the reception tables. Easy and budget friendly!

“Erin was incredibly responsive, creative, and resourceful. She truly made our vision come true. She also remained patient, flexible and transparent about what was possible with our budget. I would recommend her to anyone looking for truly unique floral arrangements for their special moments in life.”
— Maricel | Florida

I know I’ve given you a list of my top 10 reasons brides choose silk wedding flowers, but I think we can add this example as an 11th reason!

Dusty Pink, Blush and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

Last week, the featured silk wedding flowers showed a very similar color scheme as today’s wedding with bride Kelsey. But you can see that despite similar colors, these custom silk wedding flower arrangements are a totally different vibe! Not only did we deepen up the pinks to include a dusty rose pink, but there are touches of beige and some dustier greenery. Thanks to these photos by Danielle Christensen Photography, we are going to get a good look at Kelsey’s custom silk bridal bouquet in dusty pink, blush and white.

Here’s our awesome couple and with attire like theirs, I only want complement and not take away. Kelsey’s teardrop cascade style bouquet was a mix of white Roses, dusty pink Roses, dusty pink Peonies, beige Baby's Breath, white Seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus and some smaller greens mixed in.

In this close up shot to the left, you can see the beautiful texture of her dress which blended perfectly with the texture in her bouquet. We kept the groom’s boutonniere simple with a dusty pink Rose, beige Baby’s Breath and some greenery.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquet with a few white roses, a dusty pink Rose, a dusty pink Peony, Seeds, beige Baby's Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus. They were a perfect match to the bridal bouquet without being overpowering. Plus they looked great up against those stunning pale pink dresses!

Kelsey wanted to add a swag for her sweetheart table which was a nice touch to tie all the floral arrangements together from the ceremony to the reception. This low swag provided a background for their Mr. & Mrs. signs and brought some color to their stunning white set up.

Watermelon, Coral, Blush and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

My last blog post showed a classic bouquet look with all white flowers. And even though today’s wedding color scheme is has multiple shades of color, these two unique weddings are a lot alike! Vanessa came to me with her watermelon, coral and blush themed wedding, and we got to work thinking about a good mix of flowers that would hit all those marks. Let’s take a look at the designs we came up with together (did you know you get to work WITH me on your designs?) as so beautifully shown in these photos by Maddie Rose Photography.

Just like in Cassie’s wedding, Vanessa also had each of her girls in a different color and style of dress. But we wanted the custom silk bridesmaid bouquets to look great with all of the dresses. Vanessa’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of watermelon Roses, coral Roses, light pink Peonies, Baby's Breath, nude pink Roses, dusty pink Roses, and Seeded Eucalyptus. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of her bouquet for a very cohesive look.

“I LOVE my flowers. Erin did such a great job of updating me on the look of my flowers and helping to decide what flowers would look the best together. I am so thankful for all her help and would HIGHLY recommend her to other brides.”
— Vanessa | Michigan

I love the detail shots (like above) and I also LOVE shots where brides and grooms are surrounded by people that love and support them on such an important day. And you can totally see the love in this phot below!

Classic White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I know it’s hard to imagine wedding flowers that can top a Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings wedding or a Disney and Cinderella blue wedding, but today’s classic white and green silk wedding flowers are a stunning example of wedding flowers that can compete with literally any theme or scheme! Cassie’s custom silk flowers from her July wedding were so fun to design and were full of texture, greenery and looked amazing in all her photos. Let’s take a look at the lovely images from Edward Walker with Bellagala.

Cassie’s bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix white Roses, Lilies, Larkspur, mini Peonies, mini Cabbage Roses, Baby's Breath, standard Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The texture of the bouquet really complements that lovely design of Cassie’s dress. Her groom wore a white Rose bud, mini Peonies, Baby’s Breath and Greenery. It was a great match to her bouquet and looked awesome with his suit!

Cassie’s bridesmaids all wore different shades of green and different styles of dresses, and I absolutely love this look! And again, the bouquets only end up complementing their individual and classy finished look.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Cassie’s bouquet, minus the standard Eucalyptus so that it set her bouquet apart just a bit more. Since three of her bridesmaids were in darker green and three in lighter green, she choose to match the ribbon on the bouquets to the dresses with half having sage green and the other half having emerald green ribbon.

“Erin and her work was amazing! Real flowers are very pricy and I didn’t want to pay that much for flowers that will die in a few weeks. Choosing Erin and Love Is Blooming allowed me to have beautiful flowers for probably more than half the price! I contacted Erin and she got back to me very very fast! She was excited to work with me, and was very professional! She kept me a part of the process the entire time, even asking which flowers were my favorite so she could include them in the bouquets. They turned out beautifully, and looked amazing in photos and in person. People were amazed that they weren’t real! Now, I get to keep my bridal bouquet and my husband’s boutonniere forever!”
— Cassie | Minnesota

The groomsmen boutonnieres were a mix of Baby’s Breath and mini Peonies with greenery. It was a good look next to the groom’s boutonniere that allowed his to be larger and more featured, but still all went together.

Let’s not forget the moms and dads! The mothers had wrist corsages with Cabbage Roses, mini Peonies, Baby’s Breath, a small touch of bling with some rhinestones, greens and ribbon. These corsages work for any outfit! The dads had boutonnieres with mini Peonies and touch of Eucalyptus and again would look good on any lapel!

Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding features something I’d never dreamed I’d see incorporated into a wedding, but then again, why not? People who love their dogs and cats include them, and I’ve made tiny silk flower arrangements for both. But today, I get to show you the flowers I created for Kaitlyn’s Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings Wedding that featured an OWL! There are also a few other birds that make an appearance, so don’t skip any of these photos from TMT Weddings!

Here’s our awesome couple! You may recognize Kaitlyn’s bouquet from Alex’s Harry Potter Themed Custom Silk Wedding Flowers I featured last year. Kaitlyn saw those flowers and loved them, so we tailored a few things to fit her Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings theme and brought her vision to life! Her modified cascade style bridal bouquet included navy Roses, silver Dusty Miller, burgundy Peonies, gold Mimosa, Olive greens and some added mixed greens for filler. What I didn’t anticipate was the magic that Kaitlyn added to it!

The bridesmaids carried round hand tied style bouquets with a Peony, gold Mimosa, navy Roses, Dusty Miller and Olive greenery. A perfect match to the bridal bouquet!

They didn’t make it in these photos, but the groomsmen had small boutonnieres with a mix of the colors in silver, elvish looking boutonniere holders. I thought that was such a unique idea!

“I had a Harry Potter/lord of the rings wedding. She did an amazing job at every little detail I asked for for my bouquets for my girls and for mine and the boys boutonnières. She kept me updated on the progress of my flowers and while I waited to receive them she responded timely to every email and/question I had for her. When they arrived they were packaged very well to not cause any damage during shipping. They arrived beautifully and brought tears to my eyes! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and everyone getting married or needing floral arrangements!”
