Pink

Lavender, Eggplant, Blush and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers and Centerpieces

January weddings are usually full of blues, whites, silvers and greens. But Mara’s colors were white, lavender, blush and navy. What we ended up with was a mix of plum, lavender, blush, pink and white with some softer greenery so that the silk bridal bouquets didn’t get too dark. Mara loved the look of the plum complementing the lavender, so we skipped the navy all together. Sometimes when you think you know what you want, a visual of something just slightly different makes more sense!

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with white Dahlia, Ranunculus and Roses, lavender Roses, a blush Tea Rose, pink Ranunculus, plum Statice, blush Seedum, Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus. The asymmetrical style of the bouquet gave all the flowers a chance to shine while still giving a cascading swoop that we all know and love.

The bridesmaid bouquets had the same mix of flowers but in a round handtied style. I didn’t want their bouquets to get too round, so I had a few flowers sticking out from the bouquet and used the greenery to extend the shape of the bouquet beyond a sphere. It mimics the bridal bouquet pretty well, but without any cascading sections.

Mara’s mom had done all the designing and ordering with me to create custom arrangements. And having just gone through this whole process with her other daughter, she had a good eye for what Mara wanted and what worked for them and their budget. Silk wedding flower centerpieces are a great way to save money, as fresh flower centerpieces can be quite expensive. Here you can see the centerpieces we designed that incorporated many of the same flowers and colors as the bouquets but with bigger impact! Designed to sit on top of vases they had from the last wedding, these arrangements had plenty of fullness and were going to look fantastic floating above their guest tables.
