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.
