Moody Purple Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Last week I showed you Felicia’s beautiful wedding flowers in multiple shades of purple. This week I get to share with you Morgan’s moody purple silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at some photos from Ivy and Ink Photography from her lovely wedding day!

Morgan’s cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of white Garden Roses, lavender Garden Roses, plum Tea Roses, purple Heather, and Lamb’s Ear.

The bridesmaids carried the same mix of flowers in round handtied style bridesmaid bouquets. I was so pleased that the plum tea Roses matched their dresses to perfectly!

“I got so many compliments on the flowers for the wedding! I can’t thank you enough for them!”
— Morgan | Missouri

Morgan wanted matching centerpieces but didn’t want to budget for full finished arrangements. She had the great idea to buy bulk amounts of Roses and Baby’s Breath to make her own centerpieces. They added the perfect amount of floral touch to her reception and she did a great job arranging them herself!

I wanted to share Morgan’s cake with you as a great example of how to add just a touch of florals to your cake, without going over board. The rustic look of her cake and cake stand, along with that custom topper IS the feature. Adding a big floral piece really would have taken away from those unique elements. I think this was a great decision to add just a few flowers around the base of the cake to incorporate the them and colors without it being all about the flowers.

Here’s one last breathtaking shot of Morgan from the talented Ivy and Ink Photography.

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.

Wisteria, Lavender and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Sometimes a picture says it all. Take a look at Kate’s custom silk wedding flowers in wisteria, lavender and ivory.

Composed of ivory and lavender Peonies, wisteria Tea Roses, Lavender and Lamb’s ear, Kate’s bridal bouquet was just so darn romantic. The handtied style is classic and will always look great no matter the year or the season!

The bridesmaids will carry bouquets similar to Kate’s but scaled back in size. They were tied off with matching Antique White satin ribbon.

I found these sweet little mini Peonies that were just perfect for the boutonnieres and corsages.

Groom’s boutonniere with a mini ivory Peony, Lavender, Waxflower and Lamb’s ear. The groomsmen and father’s boutonnieres had a mini Peony, Lavender and Lamb’s ear.

The mothers’ pin on corsages matched the guys with a couple mini ivory Peonies, Lavender, a small wisteria flower bud, Lamb’s ear, ribbon and small spray of rhinestones. Charming!

Red and White Flowers

Today I wanted to give you all a great example of utilizing your colors to design your silk wedding flower bouquets in a variety of styles, while keeping the look cohesive.

This bride's flower colors were red and white: a deep wine red. She loved red Roses and white Calla Lilies, but wanted the bridal bouquet to stand out from the rest. She also wanted her maid-of-honor to carry a red and white bouquet that was a little different as well.

Here's a shot of the bridal bouquet; Red Roses, White Roses, Wine Red Calla Lilies, and White Calla Lilies.

She chose to finish off the look with a matching satin ribbon in wine red and a rhinestone overlay for some sparkle and shine to match the white flowers.

The bridesmaid bouquet on the left features white Roses and red Calla Lilies, while the Maid-of-honor bouquet on the right showcases the beautiful wine red Roses and Callas we saw in the bridal bouquet. Each style is finished off with complementary ribbon and smaller bands of rhinestone wrapped on the ends of the ribbon.

We kept things very simple for the boutonnieres and for the corsages we used roses and a hint of hydrangea to add a little feminine flair.
