Paige was an awesome bride to work with. She had been planning her wedding right along when COVID did its thing and made plans for her. Paige called me to tell me that her December wedding was being moved up to October! Since silk wedding flowers keep forever, it was no problem at all! I had everything on hand and got to work on her custom silk bridal bouquet and wedding flowers in burgundy and navy.
Paige’s silk bridal bouquet was in the round hand-tied style. If you aren’t familiar with that term, it simply means it is not a tight ball, has some pieces that stick out and the stems are visible underneath the bouquet. We used ivory Roses, burgundy Dahlia, navy Ranunculus, Lamb’s Ear, Baby’s Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus in her designs. Since she wanted a rustic but romantic look, I wrapped the stems with burlap and lace. Perfect for her East Coast wedding!
Paige wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to feature more greenery and less flowers. There was one large burgundy Dahlia and a bud, Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear, and Seeded Eucalyptus. I matched the same shape of the bouquet, round handtied, and added the same burlap and lace on the stems.
Paige’s boutonnieres were a great example of varying the styles for the different “categories” of guys (groom, groomsmen, dads, etc.) but still keeping the designs cohesive. For the groom’s boutonniere we switched things up and used a burgundy Rose with Baby’s Breath and Lamb’s Ear. The groomsmen had Baby’s Breath, a Dahlia bud and Seeded Eucalyptus. And the dads had an ivory Rose, Baby’s Breath and Lamb’s Ear. I used a burlap ribbon to finish them off to incorporate that same touch of rustic.
The mothers’ wrist corsages were ivory Roses a small burgundy Mum (to mimic the look of a Dahlia but smaller), Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and a small spray of rhinestones.
“Erin was absolutely amazing to work with and her flower work is phenomenal. The bouquets turned out beautiful and were perfect for our wedding. I recommend her for any of your flower needs!”
