Burnt Orange, Terra Cotta, Nude, White and Beige Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

This last year, I had the fun task of working Orange and Terra Cotta into a variety of weddings. I absolutely loved the creativity that my bride’s brought with their ideas. And I’m excited to share Ashley’s burnt orange, terra cotta, nude, white and beige silk wedding flowers. Her arrangements were full of texture and interest and were lovely additions to her November wedding. Let’s take a look at some photos from her very talented photographer Christina Jo Photography!

Ashley’s bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of beige baby's breath, terra cotta, rust and nude Roses, white Bamboo, mini pampas and larger pampas. If you look in the photo above, it was a perfect accent to both her wedding dress and her groom’s unique sport coat. Don’t you love the beige and plaid detail?

Let’s talk for a minute about Pampas grass. It’s a super popular and lovely addition to wedding florals, but it sheds like crazy! Unless you want to have it all over your dress, your groom’s tux or any other fabric in your general vicinity, faux Pampas is a great alternative. There is no allergy risk, no shedding and it’s not as delicate as the real stuff.

Thanks again to Ashley for sharing these lovely images of her custom bridal bouquet in silk flowers for her big day. Do you have your eye on this color palette? Or maybe you were considering Pampas in your wedding flowers?

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flowers for Vow Renewal - Reveal and Review

, ,

Sweet bride, Emily, reached out to me about recreating her beautiful bridal bouquet in silk flowers. She has an upcoming vow renewal and wanted to be able to carry a replica of her bouquet for such a special day. She sent me photos from J + S Photography and I got to work looking for the perfect combination of flowers to recreate her bouquet.

The round handtied style bouquet was a mix of cream Hydrangea, white and nude Roses, Baby’s Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus. Emily’s bouquet is a good example of getting creative to achieve the right look. In this case, I couldn’t find Hydrangea that were more in the budding stage, so I used a combination of Hydrangea and trimmed down Lilac placed in the middle to get a similar look.

“I love the bouquet. It is exactly what I was hoping for and I am so excited to use it for our vow renewal as well as to just have it as a keepsake!”
— Emily | Pennsylvania

Lush Neutral Silk Wedding Flowers Part 1 - Reveal

, ,

A few years ago, I designed custom silk wedding flowers for Minnesota bride, Peyton. When her sister’s, Alexis’, Bridal Checklist showed up in my inbox, I was flattered and excited. Now after working with both of them, I can say with confidence that both these lovely ladies have impeccable style with their romantic and lush florals. But today, I’m SO excited to share Alexis’ custom silk wedding flowers with you! Her neutral color palette, variety of textures and the drama makes you want to keep scrolling to see more. Let’s take a look at the amazing images from Marissa Murdy Studio.

Starting off with a bang! Alexis’ bouquet was a breathtaking mix of White Cosmos, Champagne Roses, White Sophia Roses, Taupe Baby’s Breath, white Eucalyptus, white mini Ruscus, and faux Pampas grass in a Modified Cascade style bridal bouquet. We originally had incorporated some brown and orange Eucalyptus but when it came together, Alexis wasn’t feeling it so she requested a change to more whites and taupes. I’m glad she went with her gut, but it is just perfect!

The bridesmaids wore shades of Terra Cotta and with the sheen of their dresses, you can see why taking out the brown/orange Eucalyptus was a good choice. Their bouquets incorporated the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in a loose, round handtied style. The simple color scheme allowed their outfits to be the feature, but the texture really made the bouquets pop!

The guys all wore a champagne Rose, with baby’s breath with the groom’s being a little more substantial. These guys looked dapper!

Here’s the whole bridal party- such a great looking crew!

The mothers wore pin on style corsages with a champagne Rose, taupe Baby’s Breath, white mini Ruscus and a small spray of rhinestones with the ribbon. The dads wore Comos and Baby’s Breath for a cohesive look that stood out from the bridal party boutonnieres.

Don’t go anywhere, because later this week I’m going to share with you photos from the ceremony and reception and you won’t want to miss it!

Navy, Burgundy and Bling Winter Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

, , ,

Over the last 18 months, I’ve worked with a record number of moms and sisters to design and create the perfect wedding flower bouquets for their daughter/sister. I love that picking out flowers has become a family event for so many! Tori’s silk flowers were a great example of the design process being completed second-hand, so to speak. Her mom, Tracey, was a great communicator and was quick to pass along Tori’s feedback of my design ideas and ultimately of the silk wedding flower arrangements themselves. Let’s take a look at what we designed together!

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style. At first glance you may be thinking, that’s clearly the tear drop style. And you are right! Sort of;) I designed this bouquet to look good from any angle so that if she wanted to hold it straight on, it would be a tear drop cascade. Or if she wanted to show off the rhinestone wrap on the handle, it could be held so that the cascade went to the side.

The design for her bouquet included deep hues of burgundy, navy, white and silver. I wanted to incorporate various textures for this winter wedding, keeping it soft, but interesting. I used burgundy Cabbage Roses, Calla Lilies, Amaranthus and Lamb’s Ear, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath along with gray Dusty Miller and dusty green Seeded Eucalyptus for her greenery. Tracey thought Tori would like some bling, so I sprinkled both small broaches and clear crystals throughout her bouquet.

The bridesmaids carried matching bouquets with the same mix of flowers, but in loose handtied style round bouquets. I even add just a * touch * of cascading Amaranthus to theirs to give it a little something different than a typical round style bridesmaid bouquet.

Check back later this week to see the reveal of Tori’s flowers!

Plum and Orange Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

I know I’ve been sharing a ton of last year (and probably this year’s) hot color in bridal bouquets — burgundy. But there are so many other color combinations out there worth mentioning! Today, I want to show you a really striking color scheme of plum and orange. Take a look at these gorgeous custom silk wedding flowers!

The cascading style bridal bouquet was a mix of plum Tea Roses and Peonies, orange Dahlia and Waxflower with Baby’s Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus to fill it all in.

The handtied bridesmaid bouquets and the clutch style toss bouquet had the same mix of flowers and colors to keep things all cohesive.

This custom swag is a great versatile piece. This could be hung from an arch or laid on a table in front of a unity candle. Then after the ceremony, it could be moved over to the head table or cake table for instant decor that does double duty! Now that’s a way to save some $$!!

The plum Tea Roses in the smallest bud size were a great flower to use for the boutonnieres and corsages. With just a touch of orange and white to tie it all together, they were perfect complements to the larger arrangments.

Sunflowers and Succulents in Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

Alexandra’s modified cascading silk bridal bouquet was a little bit wild and a lot bright and sunny. This custom wedding flower design for her spring wedding incorporates Sunflowers, Succulents, Craspedia, Freesia, Mini Mums, Heather, Twigs, Smilax, Amaranthus, and Vegmo.

The silk bridesmaid bouquets included all the same flowers but in a more round style and with an asymmetrical design that incorporated one large succulent.

This smaller package of flowers included just a few boutonnieres to match. I liked the idea of not going with a traditional look of one larger flower, greens and ribbon. For the groom’s boutonniere, I used a Craspedia, mini Mums, Vegmo, Heather, and greens with a twig to match the bridal bouquet. The groomsmen's’ boutonnieres had a mini Sunflower, mini Mums, Heather and greens.

Alexandra chose to have a custom altar arrangements made to match. I decided to once again go the non-traditional route with an asymmetrical arrangement that incorporated all the same flowers and elements of the bridal bouquet including the twigs and greenery. This table spray will be an awesome accent piece for their ceremony.

This recreation consisted of ivory Roses, white Stock, and blue Gypsophilia (Baby's Breath) finished off with a beautiful Antique White ribbon that fits right between the ivory and white flowers.

Maria, chose to not have the gems added into her bouquet, but as you can see from this beautiful photo provided by Express It Video & Photography that her recreation is still amazing and really captures the design and beauty of her original bridal bouquet.

“I loved my wedding bouquet and was so sad when it dried up. I contacted a few places but Love Is Blooming is the only one who answered me right away. I was notified and sent pictures of each step and was asked questions to make sure everything was the way I wanted. Any questions I had were answered within a day. I am in love with my new bouquet. The first time I saw my bouquet, it brought back memories to when I saw my bouquet the day of my wedding. Now I get to look at my bouquet every day and remember that day forever!! ”
— Maria | New York

Maria also sent me a photo after she received her bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers. She had saved the rhinestones from her wedding day and was able to add them back in herself. Take a look!
