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”
— Laura | New York

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.

“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! Custom silk wedding flower arrangements can handle being handled, moved, and used for your entire wedding day without need of water, the perfect temperature or a professional installation.

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!

Do you love the idea of going with classic look for your wedding flowers? With the ability to customize your bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages and even ribbon, custom silk wedding flowers might be the perfect solution for your perfect wedding flowers.

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!”

Lavender, White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Summer is wrapping up (boo!), but before it does, I’ve got a few new weddings to share!! Lena’s pretty lavender, white and green silk wedding flowers were perfect for her May wedding and by incorporating different shades of lavenders, it made the bouquet really layered and lovely! Let’s take a look at some of these stunning photos from Rebecca Maag Photo & Design!

Lavendar White Green Silk wedding flowers custom bridal bouquet

Lena’s round handtied custom silk bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender and white Garden Roses, deep lavender Spray Roses, dark lavender Carnations and Ranunculus, pale lavender Delphinium, white Cabbage Roses, Baby’s Breath, mini Daisies, Lavender, Lamb’s Ear and small filler greenery. It was finished off with sheer gold ribbon and she added some meaningful photo charms to the handle.

I just love Lena’s dress, but check out her smile!!

For the groom’s boutonniere, this was my first time doing a pocket boutonniere. Meaning, the floral portion is attached to a square piece that slips down into his jacket pocket. It’s really quite genius! I created a pocket boutonniere that coordinated with her bouquet with a white Rose bud, Lavender, Lamb’s Ear, and a touch of Carnations and Delphinium. The benefit of an arrangement like this is that you don’t have to worry about getting them pinned on just right.

“Erin was amazing to work with every step of the way. My bouquet was everything I dreamed of and more! She even helped me with some last minute corsages that I forgot about ordering. She was helpful and communicative every step of the way.”
— Lena | Ohio

Ok, so I just had to share the cufflinks of the puppies! What a great way to make things personal to you as the couple and give little nods to the special people, or pets, in your life!

Revisiting These Ivory, Champagne and Burnt Orange Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

If you are thinking of fall or winter wedding flowers, these are a great example of incorporating whatever the heck colors you want! We didn’t include any traditionally “winter” things in these arrangements. And yet, they are perfect! Let’s revisit Katrina’s custom silk flowers for her winter wedding!

Every few years, a new hot wedding color comes on the scene. A few brave brides go for it, and pretty soon, it’s taking the wedding world by storm. That color is currently burnt orange or terra cotta or some iteration of orange. What’s cool about orange is…well, it’s warmth! It can bring to mind a sunset or being fireside or the warm fuzzies you get when you think of fall coming after a blazing hot summer. Today’s wedding is a lovely example of incorporating ivory, champagne and burnt orange into custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at the professional photos bride Katrina sent me from her photographer at Brittany Nicole Photography.

Here’s our knockout bride, Katrina! Here loose, round handtied style bouquet was a mix of peach Cabbage Roses, nude pink Roses, burnt orange Roses, beige Baby's breath, champagne Peonies, cream Cosmos, Lamb's ear, some pink seeds, sage greenery and a mix of Eucalyptus and Olive greenery. We included texture, variety, shades of peaches, champagne and burnt orange and a touch of nude pink.

The bridesmaids were burnt orange dresses that an embossed floral pattern on them, which I thought was such a unique touch and added visual interest to their whole look! Their bouquets were also loose, round handtied style bouquets with the same mix as the bridal bouquet, but with an extra blush pink Rose added in.

The groom wore a navy suit, so his burnt orange Rose with a Cosmos, Baby’s Breath and greenery really popped!

We went with a nude pink rose for the groomsmen, in a similar style but different, just like their gray suits!

I absolutely love the style of Katrina’s cake with it’s rustic vibe with the rough buttercream. The floral clusters for the layers brought it all together.

“Erin does an INCREDIBLE job! She is so kind and just truly an incredible person! She is so easy to work with and really brings your dreams to reality! She created our flower arrangements BETTER than I could have ever imagined and made the whole process just 100000x easier for the stressed out bride! 1000/10 would recommend to literally everyone in need of arrangements!”
— Katrina | Texas

Katrina wanted a low spray for her head table, which worked perfectly with their custom sign that incorporated their last names. Yes, their last names really are Human and Peoples, a perfect match right??

A huge thank you to Katrina for sharing photos from their big day! Do you love the idea of incorporating orange into your wedding flowers?

Revisiting The Peach, Pink, Blue and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

I’m so happy I came across this wedding again in my search to share some oldies but goodies! Caroline’s color palette was dreamy and delicate, but bright and lovely! The pops of yellow mixed in with the peach and blue and pink was genius, if I do say so myself! Let’s take a walk down memory lane at these lovely arrangements!

There is so very little to say about these photos, except be sure and check out Caroline’s amazing photographer Taylor Sakata Photography and figure out how to hire her right now. Also, surround yourself with your closest friends, wear a dress you love, fix your hair up just right, look adoringly at your husband-to-be, and hold my flowers for at least few pictures before emailing them to me. So I’ve said enough, here are Caroline’s custom silk wedding flowers for her spring Georgia wedding.

“When I first started planning my wedding, I began searching Google for silk flower options. I had not heard of anyone who had gone this route, but I loved the idea of being able to keep my wedding bouquet forever. I was a little hesitant to order flowers online from someone in a different state, but I was immediately at ease after my first communication with Erin. She made each step of the process so easy and fun, and I appreciated that she always asked for my feedback and was willing to adjust to make my flowers perfect. They turned out better than I could have imagined! Not only was her pricing very reasonable, she also had my flowers done earlier than expected. It is so nice knowing that this aspect of my wedding planning is taken care of. I would recommend her over any flower shop any day. Erin’s customer service and quality of work are hard to beat.”
— Caroline | Georgia

Revisiting These Jewel Toned Summer Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

I love that even though I created today’s featured wedding flowers 3 years ago, the jewel tone color palette is still as popular as ever! You can mix and match the deep, rich colors and it can work for any season!

I love, love, loved doing these wedding flowers! Bride Catherine gave me her color palette and her permission to get creative with her bouquets, and her arrangements turned out stunning. These jewel toned summer silk wedding flowers were a mix of moody and bright colors with texture and greens for a unique look that worked for her summer wedding.

A huge thanks to these amazing images from their photographer Precious Pics!

Catherine’s handtied style round bridal bouquet was a mix of plum Tea Roses, navy Delphinium, yellow Ranunculus, orange Hydrangea, plum Poppies, orange Ranunculus, burgundy Roses, dusty pink Peonies, Blueberries and mixed greenery.

The bridesmaids carried clutch size bouquets with just a few of the flowers from the bridal bouquet, but in the same loose handtied style. All the bouquets were finished off with burlap wrap on the stems.

“I can’t say enough positive things about Love is Blooming. I had always loved the idea of a bold, jewel tone colored bouquet. However the quotes from local florists were wayyy out of our budget. I had almost given up when I came across Love is is Blooming. Erin was very responsive and did such good job listening to what I wanted while also adding in her own experience. The end result was exactly what I had been looking for at a fraction of the cost of a florist. She was even able to create a matching dog collar! I loved that I was able to get picture updates and make any adjustments before getting them and it was one less thing to have to worry about on the big day! Everyone, both guests and venue staff, at the wedding were shocked when they realized they were fake flowers as no one could tell until they were up close. Plus, my bridesmaids were so happy to be able to keep their flowers after the wedding. I am so incredibly grateful and highly recommend Love is Blooming to anyone looking for wedding flowers.”
— Catherine | Maryland

The groom’s boutonniere was a burgundy Rose, yellow Ranunculus, a bit of Hydrangea, Blueberries and matching greenery with a twine wrap on the stems.

Catherine had a lot of loved ones surrounding her on her big day and they all had a custom silk flower wedding arrangement. Even her precious pup got a custom silk flower dog collar to wear during the celebration.

Are jewel tones your jam? Love the moodier colors but getting married in the spring or summer? Let’s talk!

Revisiting This Wedding Day Reveal of Silk Flowers

, ,

Today we are revisiting a moment in time that could included great joy when things were just…hard! I love that Rachel has this moment to look back on with fondness, no matter what else was going on in the world! One thing I didn’t talk about in my original post was what was in the arrangements. As you scroll down to see them, you’ll see the bouquets made up of Hydrangea, Dahlia, Tulips, Ruscus, and plum Astilbe in the bridesmaid bouquets. The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with those flowers plus Roses, Ranunculus, Seedum and Fern. I love that she chose a bouquet that was quite a bit different than the bridesmaids. Let’s take a look at this awesome wedding from 2020!

There is nothing sweeter than getting to see my flowers out in “the wild.” I spend time chatting and designing with each client and then I send their silk wedding flowers off to their Happily Ever After. Rachel sent me some shots from her wedding with her bridal bouquet that made me gasp and slap my husband on the arm as I pointed at my phone screen.

These breathtaking images were taken by the very talented MVphotos. If you want to see more of Madalyn’s amazing work, you can find her on Instagram (madalynvermeerphotos), Facebook (MVphotos), or shoot her an email to book her for your own wedding (info@madalynvphotography.com). Thanks Madalyn for the photos!

2020 sure has provided us with some unique situations! I love that these two lovebirds decided to make this a sweet moment to remember.

This detail shot is so fun! How many of you are hoping for a photo that captures all those details you spent so much time on?

Bright Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Today’s lovely bride, Carmine, reached out to me last year about a silk flower bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere for her Florida wedding. She was really on the ball with scheduling, and even though her wedding was just a few weeks ago, she requested her flowers were done this past December. Just another great perk of custom silk wedding flowers! Let’s take a look at Carmine’s beautiful silk bridal bouquet!

I just love the lace on Carmine’s dress! It’s actually a beautiful match to the bright blue Hydrangea that makes up the main part of her round style bridal bouquet. Hydrangea clusters are often described as being lacey and you can see why from these photos that Carmine’s family and friends snapped from the big day!

The custom silk bridal bouquet featured bright blue Hydrangea, white Tulips, white Baby’s Breath and Eucalyptus that gives it a very fresh look. Which is perfect for a Florida wedding!

“Erin did absolutely amazing on my bouquet. Perfect! Thank you for your help on my special day!”

Blush, Dusty Pink, Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding is a really pretty combination of blush, dusty pink, blue and white silk wedding flowers. As you’ll see from the photos that bride Emily sent me, this was a soft romantic color palette that worked great for her outdoor wedding. Let’s take a look at the photos she sent me from her amazing photographer Brandi Doleman.

Emily’s bouquet was a unique style in that we slightly modified a modified cascade style. She didn’t quite want a teardrop shape, but not as round as a modified cascade. Her bouquet was composed of white, nude, and dusty pink Roses, blush pink Peonies, blue Astilbe and Thistle, Stephanotis, Orchids, white Heather, beige Baby’s Breath, Willow and Eucalyptus. Here bridesmaids were wearing a variety of these colors and she wanted to include them in her bouquet. It tied everything together so nicely!

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquet with the same mix of the bridal flowers. One of the bouquets was actually for an attendant on the groom’s side, so we included a bit more of the blue accents in her bouquet to match the guys more closely. It was an easy tweak to the design so that it set it apart but still matched with the bridesmaids.

“Erin is SO sweet to work with and VERY prompt with communication and getting everything situated and organized! She is super easy to talk to and very accommodating if you have a particular idea in mind! The wedding flowers were everything I would’ve dreamed of and were just absolutely perfect! I couldn’t have been happier! I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your floral needs!”
