White, Dusty Pink and Nude Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love today’s color palette of white, dusty pink and nude silk wedding flowers! Ardyn came to me with this classic mix of soft romantic colors, and we got to work designing her flowers together. Whether you come to me with an exact idea of what you’re looking for or really only know your colors, you get to co-design with me to pick out the flowers you like best, the shape of your bouquet and even the ribbon color! I know I’ve said it lots of times before, but I don’t want you to experience any (unfun) floral surprises for your wedding day. Custom silk wedding flowers allow you to know exactly what you are walking down the aisle with on your big day! *Puts soapbox away* Ok, back to Ardyn’s romantic, soft and classic silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at her lovely photos from the very talented Documented by Devyn!

The bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of nude, white and dusty pink Garden Roses, Seeds, white Delphinium, small Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus finished off with Chardonnay colored satin ribbon. The groom’s boutonniere was a dusty pink Garden Rose, seeds, white Delphinium flower and greens finished off with matching ribbon.

Ardyn’s bridesmaid carried a smaller version of her bouquet and the groomsman had a white rose bud with dusty pink accent flowers and greens. Simple but complementary!

For their ceremony, they had a lovely hoop/arch that she wanted some arrangements to attach to. We went with an asymmetrical look with one larger piece and one smaller piece. I love how it was a simple design overall but added some softness to the space. And of course they matched the bridal party’s flowers wonderfully.

“I wanted high-quality silk flowers for my wedding since I’m pretty allergic to real flowers. I was nervous after having to return the flowers I received from another company because they were not the colors I had asked for. Erin was very communicative at each step of the process and sent me photos so I knew up front what I was getting and what the flowers would look like. She did an incredible job and the flowers turned out to be absolutely perfect and just what I was envisioning! Highly recommend!”
— Ardyn | Tennessee

I know I’m always harping on this, but make your flowers work double duty if you can! In their case, they were able to use that same hoop arch for behind their sweetheart table which looks amazing! And as you can see on the table, Ardyn used her bouquet for table decor that filled everything out nicely with the candles and greenery.

Green, White and Blush Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Matthew’s wife reached out to me about recreating her bouquet in 2020. She had held onto that information and Matthew came to me ready to make it happen! He sent me some great shots of the bouquet with some added details through the process to help me get it just right! Let’s take a look at the photos Matt provided alongside photos of this custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers!

Julie’s Bouquet was a really classic round style bouquet with a mix of green Hydrangea, some light green Roses, white Roses and Calla Lilies and blush pink Roses. It was not only a classic shape, but timeless color palette as well!

“Very impressed with both the service and the quality. I didn’t think anyone could recreate my wife’s bouquet adequately that’s why I was hesitant to start the process. But with only a few pictures and a little bit of input from us Love is Blooming was able to masterfully recreate my wife’s bouquet. I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but love is blooming definitely deserves, and has absolutely earned, five stars.”

Lavender and Purple Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Last November, Nate contacted me about a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers of his wife’s bridal bouquet. However, every component of the bouquet matters, and at the time, I had to give Nate the unfortunate news that I wasn’t able to find the Irises in the right color, nor could I find the mini Daisies in light lavender. Because it was fall and lots of fall (and even Christmas) flowers were taking up a lot of the inventory, I told him to check back with me in the spring to see what I could find. Nate did just that and reached out to me at the peak of spring flower season, and lo and behold, I found what I needed! Let’s take a look at this custom bridal bouquet recreation compared to the original bouquet with his lovely wife featured in these photos by Heidi Leigh Photography!

Madison’s bouquet was a handtied style bridal bouquet with a mix of plum Carnations, wisteria colored Iris, lavender and ivory Roses, lavender mini Daisies and Asparagus fern. It also had a really great detail of having a purple ribbon wrap with a bow that was two layered- dark purple and white.

“She recreated my wedding bouquet and I absolutely love it!!!”
— Madison | Ohio

Thanks to Nate’s persistence, we were able to work together to recreate Madison’s bouquet for a meaningful and long lasting gift. If you are in the market for a gift to wow someone special in your life, contact me today to start the process!

Silk Wedding Flower Arrangement Feature: Bridal Bouquets

, , , ,

This summer, I’m going old school, back to the basics, starting with step 1…whatever you want to call it! I’ll be doing a series throughout the summer highlighting the various types of arrangements you may want to include on your wedding day and what better place to start than with the OG—the bridal bouquet!

While weddings for centuries have incorporated flowers and greenery, it wasn’t until the Victorian era that our modern idea of a bridal bouquet really became popular. If you want to read more about the history of wedding flowers, check out this fascinating article featuring a pretty comprehensive history by Maxine Owens, a wedding florist and the founder of Max Owen Designs.

So now that you have an idea of the history, let’s talk abut what your bridal bouquet can be. As a main piece of both apparel and decor for your wedding day, it will be seen in a lot of your photos and will be carried around quite a bit through the ceremony, reception, photos, and sometimes more. While it’s important to think about colors and flowers, it more important that it’s a reflection of you and your style! That means you get to design it however you want!!

I’ve included a variety of photos of bridal bouquets throughout this post so you can see different styles, shapes and color combinations as a reminder that it’s about what you like!

My website includes a page dedicated to Bridal Bouquets that highlights the two main types of bouquets: Round Bouquets and Cascading Bouquets. Within those two main categories there are some unique variations that give you even more options. Here are two examples of round bridal bouquets—a more traditional ball shape and a handtied bouquet.

You can see the similarity in shape, but the style offers a variation. The ball shaped bouquets is more compact with flowers closer together and not much veering outside the globe of the bouquet. In the bouquet on the right, the handtied style bridal bouquet, there is more movement to the bouquet. There are sprigs of flowers and greenery going beyond the ball shape and in fact this one has a more linear shape overall. Both look awesome but have their own look!

As with the round styles, cascading styles vary too! I coined the term modified cascade years ago because I was finding myself creating a lot of bridal bouquets that weren’t the classic teardrop shape. Some were asymmetrical, some were wild and big and some were close to the round handtied style but with lots of draping. Here are a few examples where the teardrop shape is quite obvious. It’s a classic look that will never go out of style!

Photo by Bellagala Photography

Now let’s take a look at what I’ve labeled the modified cascade bridal bouquet.

Photo by Empiria Studios

These two bouquets are great example where the trailing pieces are either greenery or floral and they are both asymmetrically shaped. There is still a cascade to both bouquets, but they incorporate different elements to achieve the cascade and the flow off to the side rather than straight down the front of the bouquet.

Photo by Marquee Studio

While there may be other styles of bouquets soon to be discovered, one thing is true: the bridal bouquet is here to stay! And the great part is that you get to decide what your bridal bouquet will look like. But if that’s a bit overwhelming, I’m here to help!

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.

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

Classic White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

Today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers is a classic look in all white with a touch of greenery. Zach wanted to surprise his wife with this thoughtful and meaningful gift. Let’s take a look at at side-by-side of the recreation with the original. Photos of the original are by Rach Loves Troy

This round style bouquet is a mix of white Hydrangea, Cabbage Roses, Baby's Breath and Eucalyptus and wrapped with a white satin ribbon. Just lovely!

“I contacted Erin to recreate my wife’s bridal bouquet for our anniversary, and I can not say enough good things! Erin was super easy to work with throughout the entire process, very thorough, and even sent me pictures of her progress to keep me updated. As for the final product, it looked EXACTLY like the original, and my wife loved it! Would definitely work with Erin again and would wholeheartedly recommend her! 😊”

Purple Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

It’s full on spring here in Minnesota which means the Lilacs are lilacing! I thought today’s bouquet would be a perfect one to share because of it! Vinnie reached out to me about a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers for a gift for his wife. He sent me photos of this stunner bouquet and we got to work figuring out all the components. Let’s take a look at the side-by-side of the recreation with the original. Photos by Jennifer Childress Photography.

This bouquet was large and in charge and chock full of color and texture. Vinnie was deciding how to display this best in a shadow box but ultimately decided to do a full size replica. The bouquet was a round, handtied style with a mix of: white Hydrangea, lavender Rose buds, purple Lilac, Queen Anne's Lace, Statice, and Pittosporum. It was finished off with a sheer white ribbon with pearls. So classy, so lovely!

“Erin was great to work with. From pricing to communication to finished product, it couldn’t have been any easier. The work and recreation matched perfectly. It had my wife in tears when she saw it.”
— Vinnie | Pennsylvania

I love lilacs and love how much interest they add to any arrangement. Are you interested in adding them into your dream wedding flowers? Or maybe you had them in your bouquet and would love to have it recreated. Check out how the process works and let me know how I can help!

Plum, Dusty Blue and Lavender Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Ashley and Sean’s wedding photos were so fun to look through! Their colors were a dreamy mix of plum, dusty blue, lavender and a few shades of purple thrown in to balance everything out. They chose a variety of flowers and textures to fill out the bouquets and included twine for a rustic touch for their December wedding. Let’s take a look at their custom silk wedding flowers featured in these amazing photos by Wild Trail Studio!

Let’s start with a bang and take a look at Ashley’s bridal bouquet. Her round style bouquet was a mix of plum Roses, lavender Ranunculus, Lavender, light lavender Garden Roses, larger Peonies and smaller Peonies, Forget Me Nots and small touches of greenery. It has depth, texture, color, softness…. all the things that look great in a bridal bouquet!

The bridesmaids wore plum dresses, so we left that color out of their bouquets but included all of the other elements from Ashley’s bouquet.

The groom’s boutonniere was a plum Rose, tiny lavender Tea Roses, Forget-Me-Nots and a touch of greenery. The twine gives it a unique and finished look.

“We highly recommend Love Is Blooming to anyone looking for alternative flowers for their wedding. Erin was amazing to work with. She was very responsive throughout the process, knowledgeable about what flowers might fit our vision, and made the most beautiful flowers! We got boutonnieres, corsages, flowers for an arch, and also for the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets. We had so many people tell us how gorgeous they were and even insisted on actually touching them because they couldn’t believe they weren’t real. They were absolutely perfect for our winter wedding and now get to be a timeless memory that we can keep in our home.”
— Ashley | Minnesota

This is a great look at one of the wrist corsages for a mother. Ashley wanted them to include various shades of purple, a small spray of rhinestones and I also added in a small “bow” of twine to make all the arrangements cohesive.

The candlelight and twinkle lights make it all so romantic!

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!

White Winter Wedding - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I know that it’s officially spring here in Minnesota, but one of the things we’re known for is our snow (and cold, but we’ll ignore that for now). When Danielle sent me here wedding photos from her magical, snowy, winter wedding, I couldn’t wait to share them! And truly if you are thinking of a winter wedding, this is the perfect time to start planning for custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at Danielle’s lovely white winter wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented Rule Creative Co. Check them out if you are Minnesotan!

Here’s our clearly very happy couple Danielle and Riley. Their February wedding here in Minnesota may have been cold, but that sure didn’t seem to dampen their spirits! Danielle’s bouquet was a round handtied style that had just a touch of hanging greenery. It consisted of white Roses, Peonies, Dahlia, and Ranunculus, Lambs Ear, Eucalyptus and other mixed greenery in more sage/dusty green tones. I really loved that she chose greenery that added height, texture and some dramatic draping.

Her attendants carrying flowers had smaller, handtied style bouquets with the same floral mix as the bridal bouquet. Danielle wanted her bouquet to be the only one with the cascading greenery, so we left that out of their bouquets. She also had a bridesman standing up on her side. His boutonniere matched the groomsmen’s bouts, but I love that his suit matched the bridesmaids!

We kept it very classic for the bridal party boutonnieres. Riley had a single white Rose bud with a small white Ranunculus. I also pulled some of the same greenery from the bridal bouquet to accent his boutonniere so that his stood out a little from the groomsmen.

custom-silk-white-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-boutonnieres
“Erin was wonderful to work with. I was able to meet with her in person and see the beautiful work she does. She was thorough in asking what we envisioned for our day. Communication was efficient. Once it was closer to the wedding, she sent us progress photos to make sure we liked everything. They were very beautiful and so realistic. She created our ceremony flowers, bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, and the boutonnieres. A great option as an alternative to real flowers that will last and look natural in photos.”
— Danielle | Minnesota

Danielle ordered a couple of decor pieces to complement their amazing venue. Those big windows provide so much “decor” on their own! The altar area featured a classy, modern fireplace that Danielle wanted some floral pieces for. We decided on a larger focal piece to go at one end, with a long, matching garland to stretch almost all the way across. This was inspired by other photos from the venue that she had seen and liked.

custom-silk-white-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-altar-arrangement

I specifically designed the fireplace arrangement to be in two pieces so that they could be used somewhere else during the reception. These were the perfect pieces to sit on the head table.

Minnesota is known for it’s 10,000 lakes (it’s actually 11,842 if you’re curious), so this feels like the perfect last photo for Danielle and Riley’s winter wedding. Magical, right?!

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

Classic Pink and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

Patrick reached out to me for a quick turnaround anniversary gift a few months ago. He sent me photos of the lovely bouquet — a classic pink and white look — and I got right to work pulling together the list of what was in the bouquet and tracking down each of the types of flowers I would need. Let’s do a comparison of Patrick’s custom bridal bouquet recreation for an anniversary gift!

This lovely bridal bouquet was a large, round, handtied style bouquet with a mix of white Hydrangea, Delphinium, Lisianthus, Queen Anne’s Lace and Astilbe and pink Astilbe and Spray Roses. I really loved the look of this bouquet. It had lots of texture and movement and the touches of pink were just so soft and romantic!

“I ordered a recreation of my wife’s wedding bouquet as a wedding anniversary gift, and Love Is Blooming did a great job. Erin was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for great quality silk flowers.”

Happy Yellow, White and Blue Silk Wedding Flowers - Review

, ,

Tori’s wedding isn’t until 2026, but girl is on her game and wanted to check things off her list! She placed her order for a happy yellow, white and blue bridal bouquet and matching groom’s boutonniere. The thing about smaller orders is, they move really quickly. I was able to get her arrangement shipped out as soon as she wanted! Let’s take a look at these happy, bright custom silk wedding flowers!

Tori’s bouquet is a mix of blue Hydrangea (to will match what her bridesmaids will wear on the big day), deep yellow Roses, white mini Daisies, white Freesia and white Baby’s Breath. Her bouquet is a cross between a round ball and a more loose handtied style bouquet. It has a nice form to it, but those little Freesia and Baby’s Breath that break from the structure make it super interesting to look at. And each flower gets its own moment! We matched the ribbon to the Hydrangea and tied it off with a classic bow.

The groom’s boutonniere was designed to match the bouquet. That yellow rose steals the show, but is complemented by a touch of blue and white. She loved the idea of yellow ribbon for him, so that’s how we finished off the look!

“Love is Blooming is the BEST place to get your silk flowers for your wedding. Erin the owner and silk florist is fantastic. She is so knowledgeable about her flowers and truly has a gift! Her attention to detail is spot on and the care she puts into her craft is evident. I highly recommend Love is Blooming for all your silk flower needs.”
— Tori | Pennsylvania

Do you love the idea of planning ahead and then actually being able to accomplish parts of your wedding planning to do list?

Burgundy, Dusty Pink and Winter Greens Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Sean reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet for their upcoming anniversary. She still had her original bouquet, but it was all shriveled up and dead, Sean’s words, not mine! He wanted to give her an anniversary gift that was meaningful, and I think we pulled it off nicely. Let’s take a look at the custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers versus the original!

The original bouquet was a mix of Burgundy and dusty pink Roses, cream Hypericum Berries, Dusty Miller, Cedar, Pine Branches and mini Pine Cones in a large handtied style bouquet.

“Easy process. All I did was send in pictures of the original and everything else was taken care of. I got updates along the way and there were no surprises.”

Lavender, Purple, Iovry and Red Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

It’s been cold here in Minnesota, so today I’m sharing Joanna’s lavender, purple, ivory and red silk wedding flowers to help bring some warm and happy feelings! Joanna worked with me to find the right mix of flowers for her custom silk wedding flowers. She liked the mix of a softer lavender purple along with a deeper plum purple. We added in some ivory to give it that classic wedding feel and of course that pop of red that makes me smile. Let’s take a look at what Joanna and I designed together in these photos from Brayhan Alvarado with B&A Photography.

Joann’as bouquet was a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of mix of red, ivory, lavender and wisteria Roses, ivory Baby's Breath, Lavender, plum Mums, light lavender Mini Peonies, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

“I had a great experience working with Erin! She was extremely professional and helpful when it came to picking the flowers for my wedding. The pictures she sent really helped me visualize everything. I got lots of compliments!!”

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!”

Gold, Pink and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Bridal bouquet recreations in silk wedding flowers are fun for me to make because I know they are going to bring a lot of joy to the recipient. Not that brides aren’t joyful when they get their flowers (check out some of my almost 20 years of reviews if you’re curious), but I know that a bouquet recreation is just an extra sweet moment for the giver and the receiver. Today’s bouquet is a lovely gold, pink and white bouquet that Steven sent me photos of to surprise his wife. Let’s compare the recreation with the original from the photos Steven sent to me from his photographer: Martha Jane’s Photography.

The original round handtied bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, white Hydrangea, pink Roses, green Hypericum Berries, Lace Fern and Ficus with a burlap wrap.

“Erin was able to recreate my Wife’s wedding bouquet perfectly. I gave them to her as a part of our 10 year wedding anniversary. The arrangement was spot on. Down to they weave on the burlap wrapping. I cannot more highly recommend. Communication was prompt, I felt like I was kept in the loop. The progress photos were a great addition to see, as it was coming together.”

Ink Blue and Terra Cotta Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Today’s wedding is a stunner and a unique color combination that I don’t think I’ve done before! McKenzie reached out to me about wedding flowers with her color palette of ink blue, terra cotta and white, and I was hooked! Let’s take a look at her textured, high contrast and beautiful custom silk wedding flowers captured so wonderfully by Audrey Cooper Photography!

Here’s our beautiful bride McKenzie! Her bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with mix of ink blue Baby's Breath, blue Mini Peonies, rust Roses, Lamb's Ear, white Roses, white Ball Mums, white Larkspur, and white mini Ranunculus. It was big and bold and visually interesting with the different shapes and textures of the flowers.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet and as you can see, their dresses matched the bouquets wonderfully!

I love these detail shots where you get a glimpse into their wedding day!

Burgundy, Navy, Dusty Blue, Orange and Sage Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Mackenzie’s custom silk wedding flowers were a highlight for me this year. I loved her theme colors, I loved the flowers she chose, and I loved how they all came together for a very unique look. One thing she mentioned early on is that she did not like Roses, but as you’ll see from her photos by Simply Hunny Co., we didn’t miss out on anything by not including them. Let’s take a look!

Here’s our amazing couple! Mackenzie’s bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with light blue Hydrangea, white Anemone, dusty blue Dogwood, orange Dahlia, blue Magnolia, burgundy Peony, Willow Eucalyptus, Lamb's Ear, Orange Greenery, and Fern. It was big and bad and awesome! And here’s a great look at the groom’s boutonniere—Anemone, Dogwood, Dahlia bud, Lamb’s Ear and

The bridesmaids carried a larger clutch style bouquet that featured one Magnolia, Dahlia, and Peony, Anemone, Dogwood, and the same mix of greenery. It matched her bouquet but was different enough for her’s to stand out even more.

We decided that the groomsmen bouts would match the bridesmaid dress colors, so we featured the blue Dogwood with greenery and I think it was a great look!

Let’s not forget about the littlest ladies! Her flower girls had these pretty little flower crowns that featured a cluster of matching flowers at the front with a ring of white Baby’s Breath all around.

I had to double check my notes to see if I had created a swag for the head table when she sent me this photo. But these are just her bouquets lined up, doing double decor duty! Which is a great reminder to make your flowers work for you!

“Loved working with Erin! She’s super responsive, easy to work with, and has tons of great ideas and suggestions if you have a vision but need help bringing it all together!”

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!

“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. ”
