One of the many perks of my job is getting to see some lovely tropical wedding photos! Sonya sent me a few photos of her awesome tropical bouquet from their elopement to the Virgin Islands. She wasn’t able to bring the bouquet back with her and wanted to have a permanent reminder of their special day, so we worked together to make sure her bouquet was recreated as accurately as possible. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside some photos of the original bouquet. All photos were provided by Sonya and her photographer was a recommendation of her officiant on the island.
Sonya’s bouquet was a handtied style bridal bouquet with a mix of:
-Red Anthurium
-Bird of Paradise
-Orange Lily
-Red Protea
-Yellow Phalaenopsis Orchids
-Yellow Oncidium Orchids
-Magenta Cabbage Roses
-Purple Rose
-Yellow Pincushion Protea
-Seeded Eucalyptus
-Salal Greenery
-Ficus Greens
It was fun to recreate this tropical elopement bouquet for display in Sonya’s home! And the best part is that I unknowingly sent her the progress photos the day before her anniversary. It was a really special surprise for her and fun for me since I had no idea!
Did you elope and then have to leave your bouquet behind? A custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers is a great idea for preserving that memory! Read more about it here!
