Matt contacted me for help with a custom bridal bouquet recreation for his May anniversary. He and his wife were married on the beach at Captiva Island, Florida. From the awesome photos he sent me, it was a beautiful ceremony. If you are looking for a talented photographer, check out Beneath The Oaks Photography for your big day.

Now let’s take a look this awesome bouquet of wedding flowers. This round, hand tied bouquet featured ivory Roses and Hydrangea, custom dyed Calla Lilies in navy and teal and Spray Roses in a matching teal. When you are dealing with recreating a bouquet like this, the goal is to match the colors as closely as possible. I think I did pretty good with this custom dye job!

The above photo is one I sent to Matt when I had the bouquet finished up. He loved it but mentioned that another photo of the original bouquet, from a different angle, showed more greenery than I could see. This right here folks, is why silk flowers are awesome. Whether it’s a recreation or your actual wedding flowers, getting to see them ahead of time means you can make those little tweaks that make the difference. After receiving Matt’s feedback, I was able to add some more greens in to the back of the bouquet around the bottom. The below photo shows the edits of the final design. When it comes to anniversary gifts, it’s important to me to get it right, those details really do matter!

Matt was kind enough to send this photo to me to demonstrate that despite attempting to dry out his wife’s gorgeous original bouquet, it didn’t look as pretty as they’d hoped. And that’s where I got to help out.

Maybe your dried bouquet has lost its lustre. If so, no big deal, just have it recreated! Or maybe you are looking for a thoughtful anniversary gift. Contact me today to find out if a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers can bring your special day and your special bouquet back to life!
