Red, Pink and White Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers feature is a really fun one to share because of the finished product. I mean, I guess they are all fun to share because of the finished product. But today’s is more about the display than usual! A number of bouquet recreations have gone on to be displayed in unique ways like this shadowbox example, this memento shadowbox, or flower and invitation keepsake display. But this is the first time where a wedding dress has been featured with a bouquet recreation! First let’s take a look at the custom bridal bouquet recreation alongside the original provided by photos by Ashley’s family friend, Britney.

Ashley’s bouquet was a dramatic cascading beauty with a mix of red Garden Roses, pink Spray Roses, a single lavender Rose and lots of Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Ruscus. It was a stunner!

She also commissioned me to recreate the groom’s boutonniere which was a simple arrangement of two white spray roses, seeds and matching greenery with a touch of white satin ribbon.

But here’s the cool part! When Ashley ordered the bouquet, they were working on a remodel of their house, including a custom display case for her wedding dress! They created a place at the top to display the bouquet along with her dress for a lovely vignette for their special pieces!

“I hadn’t thought about preserving my wedding bouquet until after we got back from our honeymoon which was to late. I am SO glad I found Erin, this was an amazing piece of work for something I thought was lost. I was able to put it with my wedding dress display.”
— Ashley | Wisconsin

Silk Wedding Flower Arrangements Feature: Bridesmaid Bouquets Part 2

,

As promised, today is all about silk flower bridesmaid bouquet shapes! Much like I talked about in the feature on silk flower bridal bouquets, there are two main shapes to bridesmaid bouquets: Round ball and round handtied. But if you feel boxed in by that, don’t be, because I’ve seen the most creativity in bridesmaid bouquet shapes than in any other category of wedding flower arrangement. Let’s start off looking at the more traditional shapes!

Round Ball Bridesmaid Bouquet

This side-by-side photo shows a round ball style bridal bouquet with the matching round ball style bridesmaid bouquet on the right. You can see the tight composure of the bouquet and the very clear ball shape.

Round Handtied Bridesmaid Bouquet

You can see from this photo that the bouquets have more variance in shape and composition and there bits of greenery and flowers sticking out from the parameters of a true sphere.

The other big category of silk flower bridesmaid bouquets would be the Clutch style. It’s often a good option for smaller budgets while still incorporating flowers for the bridesmaids to carry down the aisle. Here are a few examples of different shapes of clutch style bridesmaid bouquets.

This next design is a different take on the clutch bouquet, sometimes called a presentation bouquet. It can be great for a formal setting because doesn’t take away from the venue or bridesmaid dresses. It is simple, but classic with a few flowers and some ribbon!

This last example is a unique one that I haven’t done very often and it’s actually a silk flower bridesmaid bouquet hoop! For this wedding, they were incorporating circles and she asked me to use gold metal hoops with a silk flower arrangement attached to each one for her bridesmaids (and her flower girls) to carry down the aisle. I loved this idea!

Silk Wedding Flower Arrangement Feature: Bridesmaid Bouquets Part 1

,

Last month, I talked a bit about custom silk bridal bouquets, and this month, I’m shining the spotlight on Bridesmaid Bouquets! When considering how to design your bridesmaid bouquets, a good starting point is to decide whether you want them to “match” your bridal bouquet or stand alone. What does it mean to match the bridal bouquet?

  • I can make them as smaller versions of your bouquet.

  • It can incorporate a simplified mix of what is in the bridal bouquet.

  • You can pick one flower or color only from the bridal bouquet and build their bouquets around it

Let’s take a look at some bouquets that show what I’m talking about. This first example shows bouquets that are just smaller versions of the bridal bouquet.

These bridesmaid bouquets feature all of the same flowers except the rust orange Roses that we featured in the bridal bouquet. As you can see, they still match but allow the bridal bouquet to stand out a little more.

The bridesmaid bouquets from this wedding featured one flower with greenery in a clutch style bouquet.

This next example is from one of my very first weddings that I ever created! Bridget had wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to match the dress color of each bridesmaid. This is a great visual of what it would look like for your bridesmaid bouquets to be different from your bouquet and to stand alone.

After sharing this much, I realized I haven’t even made it to talking about different shapes and styles of silk flower bridal bouquets. Check back later for Part 2 and an overview of the different shapes of bouquets!

Red, Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

We came back from vacation the morning of July 4th and went straight to celebrating with friends and family. I thought it would be fun to share this post from 2023 that features a wedding with our country’s colors! These red, white and blue silk wedding flowers weren’t for a July 4th wedding, but they sure seemed appropriate to share after the weekend. Plus there are some surprise custom silk flower arrangements, modeled by their cute kitties. Enjoy!

Today’s color combination might have you thinking, why are you sharing this in November? Shouldn’t this be a 4th of July post? That right there is why I’m sharing it now. While this color palette can be equated with the Stars and Stripes, it doesn’t have to! Bride Samantha and her sister worked with me to create custom silk wedding flowers that incorporated the colors Samantha loved without looking patriotic. Let’s take a look at her red, blue and white silk wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented NuView Photography!

Samantha had favorite flowers she wanted to include in the designs and she sent me the bridesmaid dress color that was a beautiful dusty blue. We landed on deep red Roses, dusty blue Roses, brighter red Begonias, navy Mums, white Baby’s Breath and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The bouquets were round handtied style with different combinations of navy, dusty blue and red ribbon wrapped and crisscrossed over the stems.

This picture gives a great look at the detail on Samantha’s bouquet up close. She wanted a touch of lace, so we found a way to include that on her bouquet and she added a few small framed photos to honor loved ones.

red-white-blue-custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-bridesmaid-bouquets-boutonnieres

I love pictures like this that include so many special people in the couples’ lives! If you zoom in on our awesome couple, you’ll see a couple of non-humans that are special too. They were not only a part of the big day, they got in on the flower action too!

Look at these sweet babies! One wore a suit that matched the bridal party and had a tiny boutonniere to match. The other kitty wore a dress and I created a custom flower crown for her tiny kitty head!

“Erin is amazing! I was able to just give her my vision for what I wanted for my wedding, and she was able to take all the ideas and create an amazing bouquet for my girls and I. Erin was very patient with all my edits and what if ideas throughout the process. Erin explained the different techniques that she was using to create the bouquets. At the wedding my guests were amazed (including my photographers) that the flowers weren’t real! I would highly recommend her services!”
— Samantha | New Hampshire

50th Anniversary Bridal Bouquet Recreation Surprise - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

In May, I had the honor of celebrating and honoring my parents for their 50th anniversary! We helped put together a wonderful party full of people they love and fun mementos from their wedding day and their 50 years of marriage. I worked with my mom to create custom centerpieces that were bright and happy for this spring celebration. But what she didn’t know was that I planned to recreate her bridal bouquet and surprise her during a family dinner. Not only was it a great piece to display at their party, but it became a meaningful keepsake to display in their home.

Anniversary-gift-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers

This groovy 70’s bouquet was a mix of white Daisies, yellow Tea Roses, and Asparagus Fern in a cascading style bouquet.

For the centerpieces, we were trying to keep things budget friendly, so I purchased some bushes that had a mix of colors, flowers and greenery. Everything got trimmed down and constructed into centerpieces in white geometric vases.

We had such a fun time at the party that we didn’t get photos of the centerpieces in action or the fun cake and memento tables where they displayed the bouquet recreation:) If you are interested in a special gift like this, contact me today for more information!

Destination Wedding - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

I love a destination wedding reveal because I feel like you get a peak at some extra special details at a venue or location that you may not have picked yourself, but think is pretty awesome! Today’s reveal is just that a Disney Destination wedding!! I personally love Disney and weddings there can be so unique and magical. Let’s take a look at Jen’s Disney custom silk wedding flowers, photographed so amazingly by Destination Dream Makers.

disney-destination-wedding-custom-silk-wedding-flowers

Here’s our adventurous bride, Jen! Her wedding colors were perfect for an Animal Kingdom wedding. They were: terracotta, sea glass, marine blue, white, spice, and tan which were all represented in her bridal party attire. Her bouquet was a loose, modified cascade style with a mix of Anemone, blue Thistle, spice Roses, mix of spice, cream and beige and multitone Dahlia, terra cotta mini Mums, nude Roses, lighter blue Astilbe, eucalyptus Seeds, small leaf Eucalyptus and some Ruscus. It had color, texture, and all the colors to match her bridal party and her venue. Speaking of bridal party, let’s take a look at them!

Don’t you love the varying colors in the dresses?? It’s just so perfect for a moment in front of the Tree of LIfe! The bridesmaid carried clutch size bouquets with a mix of the bridal flowers. All bouquets had matching trailing ribbon to add some drama.

How cute is this detail shot?? And looking below, this is your reminder to use what you got! As in, use the arrangements you have for decor. Whether that’s laying your bouquet on the head table or purchasing vases to put all the bridesmaid bouquets in and place around your reception area or on your head table. It’s instant decor!

“Working with Erin was an absolute dream! I ordered all of my personal floral for the wedding through Love is Blooming. She incorporated everything I asked for and made some amazing recommendations when I needed some help creating my vision . She was also super responsive throughout the entire process. And I absolutely loved my flowers!”
— Jen | Ohio

I seriously loved this color scheme, the location, the vibe…ALL of it! Jen’s designs were a great way to have a theme without it being too on the nose. She didn’t need red and black and yellow for her Disney wedding (those are Mickey’s colors in case you are wondering). She did a great job using the bridal party attire and her venue to pull it all together, and that was planning it from Ohio!

It included one extra special member, her husky! I created a matching custom floral dog collar for their furry family member. Let’s take a look at some photos her friends took.

Frozen Lake Bridal Shoot - Reveal

, , , ,

A few months ago, I opened a really interesting email. Shyann wrote, “Next month we are planning to have a photoshoot on the lake as a couple. I've bought a different dress and would like a bouquet. These photos are to makeup for the lack of couples photos we didn't receive at our wedding 2 years ago.” I’m always bummed when something wedding related doesn’t meet expectations, and if there is a way to help out, I’m on your team! Shyann sent me some inspiration photos that included flowers and greenery with lots of texture, but muted tones. I took that photos and created a custom silk wedding flower bouquet to withstand a Minnesota winter and on February 15th at 7 in the morning, with temps around -10°F, Shyann and her husband trekked out onto Bear Island Lake in northern Minnesota for an amazing photo shoot. You can find their amazing photographer, Broken Limits Photography on Facebook.

Shyann’s bouquet was a mix of Magnolia, Protea, Cynara Pods, Peonies and Roses that I sprayed to give a frozen look, Dusty Miller, Beige Sword Eucalyptus, beige Statice, Pom Pom Mums, Flocked Grass and dried Button Flowers and was tied off with a sage satin ribbon. It was a really fun bouquet to design and I absolutely loved the variance in color and texture and the unique shape!

I shivered a bit looking at these photos because her shoulders are bare and her shoes aren’t giving much protection from the snow. The commitment to this photoshoot is so inspiring to me!

Shyann also had me make a boutonniere to match the look and feel of her bouquet. I kept it very simple with just a few Thistle and some frosty looking grass spikes and greenery.

If you have a unique event, photoshoot or wedding venue that you need an equally unique custom silk wedding flower bouquet for, I’m your girl! Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or are ready to design something special with me, Love is Blooming might be just what you are looking for!

Coral and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

I have a really pretty coral and white bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers to show you today! It’s the perfect bouquet for this lovely spring we are finally experiencing! Keign reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet and was hoping to surprise her with this meaningful gift. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original in the awesome photos from Photography by Brogan.

This stunning bouquet was a mix of coral and white Ranunculus, white Cosmos, white Spray Roses, coral Cabbage Roses and a touch of Ruscus. I loved the unique shape of this bouquet! It was handtied style but a more linear shape than the more traditional round shape. It was finished up with a raw edge silk ribbon in a lovely peachy-pink color.

“Absolutely amazing recreation! Erin did a fantastic job, my wife was overjoyed with the recreation!”
— Keign | Washington

Thanks again to Keign for letting me share his Valentine’s Day surprise for his wife with this custom silk bridal bouquet recreation. If you have a special occasion coming up and are looking for the perfect gift, check out my page for more information!

Peach, Champagne, Blue, Berry, Ivory and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Olivia’s custom silk bridal bouquet is so unique that I wasn’t even sure how to categorize it! It’s bright and fun, but it also has classic elements to it, it’s full and lush, but romantic and soft. Can you see my dilemma? Olivia worked closely with me to get her designs just right, and I love what we came up with together. While she originally gravitated toward fall colors, the more I showed her, the more she ended up liking some jewel tones with some brightness. She sent me some photos from her very talented photographer Flying Arrow Photography, so let’s take a look at what we settled on!

Olivia’s round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, dusty pink Mums, peach Cabbage Roses, berry Tea Roses, blue Delphinium, white Lilies, berry mini Ranunculus, champagne Dahlia, Fern, Olive and Ruscus greenery in a large loose bouquet. It had flower and height and texture and pops of color mixed with the neutrals. I loved it and so did she!

“Had an awesome time working with Erin! Not much of a flower girl but Erin was patient and showed us a ton of options until we were both satisfied with the outcomes. They turned out gorgeous!”
— Olivia | Indiana

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!”

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”

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.
