Navy, Dusty Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Local bride, Peggy, reached out to me for her winter wedding. She didn’t want to go any traditional route, and her friends were a great help in identifying flowers she would like to include. She sent me her inspiration photos and her colors, and I started making suggestions. What we came up with was a lovely mix of navy, dusty blue and white silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at the photos Peggy shared with me from her big day! Her niece, Jada Gutowski, was the photographer. You can find her on Facebook @jadafayephotography11.

Peggy’s teardrop cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of navy Roses and Peonies, medium blue Spray Roses, dusty blue Anemone, white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white Cabbage and Garden Roses, white Heather and Seeds, Stephanotis, and Longleaf and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The varying shades of blue with all the textures, the white accents and the touches of greenery made her bouquet a real show stopper!

Peggy had one bridesmaid who carried a round handtied style bouquet with the same mix of flowers. Her flower girl carried a clutch style bouquet. And since Peggy knew she loved rainbows, we added a custom mix of ribbon tails in a variety of rainbow colors. What a sweet touch!

Cake flowers are easy to forget about, but they are also easy to add to your order. Peggy’s cake was a beautiful three tier with frosting polka-dots and blue watercolor-like streaks. I created a topper and a cluster for the bottom layer that brought in all her colors and variety of the flowers.

I thoroughly loved working with Erin! I told her what I was interested in, she selected an assortment of flowers for me with her recommendations. After I made my selections, she was able to put them together for me to see. Then, after some final tweaking, I ended up getting something even better than I imagined!

Blush and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers with Custom Dog Collar

It’s fun (and flattering) when brides see one of my bouquets and use it as the inspiration photo for their own custom silk wedding flowers. We had talked through a few ideas, but when bride Tammy saw these bouquets, she knew what direction she wanted her designs to go.

Her colors were blush and ivory and she wanted to make sure the flowers didn’t get too pink but rather leaned towards the peach side of blush. I gave a few options, but I ended up experimenting with custom dyeing some flowers and we nailed it on the color. Take a look at the designs we came up with together.

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with blush Cabbage Roses, ivory with blush center Dahlia, ivory Garden Roses, blush Heather and lots of Lamb’s Ear. Soft, romantic-all the things you want in a bridal bouquet!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same flowers in a round handtied style with Antique White ribbon, the same color we used on the bridal bouquet. It’s one of my favorite colors because it goes with everything (including white) and is a classic, clean look that blends in with every style and will never look outdated.

The boutonnieres were a simple mix of ivory Roses and some blush accents with Lamb’s Ear.

This was a first for me: a custom floral dog collar! Her dog is actually much smaller than my dog, Hoover, so I needed to use smaller scale flowers that still looked similar to what was in the bouquet. This wired floral collar is a mix of ivory and peach Ranunculus because they are similar shape to Cabbage Roses. I also included a few bits of blush Heather and some small sprigs of Queen Anne’s Lace to go with the Lamb’s Ear. Cute, right?!
