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!”

How can I get a bridal bouquet recreated into silk wedding flowers?

Several times a week I get a question about silk bridal bouquets similar to the title of this blog post. Whether it’s from a former bride, a husband, a daughter or whoever, they are all on the hunt for the perfect anniversary/Valentine’s/Christmas gift. So if you’re wondering how the process works, here’s a quick rundown about how I make silk wedding flower recreations.

Step 1.

Send me your clearest photos of the bouquet from as many angles as you have. You’d be surprised what might have been hiding in a bouquet that you wouldn’t see from just one photo. Happen to have the invoice from your florist? Bonus points for you if you send that along as well. After I track down all the flowers I would need, I send you an exact cost, including tax and/or shipping so you can make your decision.

Step 2.

After placing the order, wait just a little while for some photos to show up in your inbox. After starting to create the bouquet, I’ll take a few shots so you can see how it’s coming together. That’s the point where I can make minor adjustments to get it juuuuuuust right. Once the ribbon is on, and it’s finished up, you’ll get your final set of photos.

Step 3.

Start planning your big moment, because once your box shows up, you’ll have a hard time waiting to give it to her!

As you can see from these awesome recreations below, they don’t have to look like a traditional, or simple, or common bouquet. If you unusual textures, hard to find flowers, or custom colors, it doesn’t mean it can’t be done! Contact me today to find out how you can get a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers for your upcoming celebration.

“Hey Erin,

It’s been a little while, but I just wanted to let you know that your bouquet was a total hit at my Hawaiian-themed reception back in November. None of the guests had any clue that it wasn’t real, and everyone was amazed with your quality of work (including myself)!

The bouquet is proudly displayed on my mantle now, and it brings me so much happiness every time I look at it. Thank you for bringing that tropical piece of my wedding back to life for me. You’re awesome!”

Better Gift Giving: Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreations- Part 3

Here's the last of the Christmas gift rush stories: a beautiful wild-flower silk bridal bouquet near and dear to Lee's heart. Lee was hesitant to have this gorgeous bridal bouquet recreated for his wife because he worried it was going to look cheap and tacky.  I assured him that I shop at neither Cheapskatecraft.com or Tackytown Supply Stores. Those are not real places, and if they were I would boycott them. Part of the reason Lee was on the fence is that he designed his wife's bouquet as a surprise on their wedding day. She had decided she didn't need flowers and Lee decided that was nonsense. Smart man, right? So he met with a florist and chose the flowers and style for his wife to carry. Now you can understand why he wanted to get this right! Take a look at the outcome!

Better Gift Giving: Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreations - Part 1

I'm no Santa Clause, but I got to play one this year!  I had two requests right at the end of the year to do a silk bridal bouquet recreation in time for Christmas. What a great gift right? Skip the perfume and the fuzzy socks and take a minute to honor your wedding day and your special bride. Love it!

Bob sent me a couple photos and I got to work tracking down all the components. Take a look at what I came up with!

“My wife absolutely loved the recreation of her wedding bouquet!! Erin did an amazing job with just a couple pictures. We couldn’t be happier with the results!!”

— Bob | Conneticut

Here's the original bouquet. Bob's awesome Aunt was their photographer and captured these great images that allowed me to recreate this beautiful bouquet.

If it seems like planning a Christmas gift this early would be a little ridiculous, I would agree. But what about Valentine's Day? It's the perfect opportunity to remind your bride that she's worth it!  Contact me to get the process started to become a better gift-giver;)
