You might think it’s weird to be talking about Valentine’s Day in May, but there’s Christmas in July, so why not? This week, I want to share with you two different sets of silk weddings flowers and bridal bouquets. Today, I’m sharing a wedding that was almost on Valentine’s Day (the 13th) and, a little later this week, one that was actually on Valentine’s Day. Both were pretty, both were unique, both incorporated those classic colors without being cliche’.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of Anemone, Cabbage Roses, Mums, Roses, Amaranthus, Queen Anne’s Lace, with some dusty greenery and Seeded Eucalyptus. This bouquet is a great example if you aren’t sure if you want a traditional tear drop cascade or a modified cascade. This one probably lands right between the two, though I don’t plan to make a third category of cascades. It has the element of a teardrop with a more defined linear shape, but not the tight composition that traditional teardrops usually have. But on the other hand, it doesn’t have quite the asymmetrical, branchier feel that a true modified cascade has. Perhaps this is the happy medium!

The matching groom’s boutonniere was a smaller Cabbage Rose in burgundy with a tiny bit of the blush accent and some dusty greenery. You can see that the stem was wrapped in burlap which matched the bridal bouquet. A cute complement!

Check back later this week to see another way to do Valentine’s Day wedding flowers that stay on theme, without being on theme if you know what I mean;)
