Navy, Purple, and Plum Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

, , , ,

This was a new-to-me color combination, and I was all for it! Plum, purple and navy; moody, deep, complicated, simple, romantic, vibrant, striking…I could keep going, but let’s just get to the pictures. The silk bridal bouquet was a mix of navy and purple Calla Lilies, plum Tea Roses, navy Ranunculus, mini purple Tiger Lilies and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in a modified cascade style.

We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets with just some plum Tea Roses, navy and purple Calla Lilies and just a touch of Eucalyptus.

The toss bouquet usually reflects the bridal bouquet in some way. This clutch style bouquet had the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, including the mini purple Tiger Lilies and navy Ranunculus. We added a little to it with some satin ribbon tails in navy.

The boutonnieres had a classic look with a single Calla and greens and a Ranunculus bud for the groom’s boutonniere.

These hair pieces were added a little later. The larger piece was for the bride and incorporated all her colors. The smaller style was for the bridesmaids and just had a hint of plum with the greenery.

And let’s not forget the flower girl! This cute flower crown was a base of baby’s breath with some plum flower blossoms for a dainty, but matching look.

Spring Colors in Wildflower Silk Bridal Bouquet

,

I’m excited to share with you a truly custom silk bridal bouquet! Generally when bride’s reach out to me, they have a good idea of what they would like based on a few inspiration photos. From there, we talk about what aspects they love, what colors they want to include and they usually do some combining of those ideas and photos to customize the bouquets. In Sara’s case, she sent me some photos but also said that she was “open to suggestion.” I decided to take a risk and come up with a design from scratch. I knew that she wanted a wildflower look with pops of orange, blue, purple, yellow and some greenery. I gathered up some sample stems I had on hand and sent a photo to get her thoughts. And then I held my breath, and…

…

…

She loved it all!

Take a look at this one of a kind bouquet that is cheery, sophisticated, textured, and a perfect fit to Sara’s laidback and creative personality!

There’s a lot to see in just this single bouquet:

  • Yellow Garden Roses

  • Peach Ranunculus

  • Purple Scabiosa

  • Blue Thistle

  • Coral Daisies

  • Coral Ranunculus

  • Purple Lilac

  • Blue Sweet Pea

  • Purple and Blue Galaxy Orchids

  • Small Leafed Greenery

It’s just so pretty that I couldn’t pick just one or two photos!

Sara gave me the same freedom with the boutonnieres and these were super fun. I used the same mix of flowers and colors but varied the mix and greenery to give each guy a custom look.

I’d never ask anyone to take a gamble on their wedding flowers, but there’s no rule about sticking to a specific look or color scheme. If you have an unexpected color palette, or love the idea of wedding flowers that have never been done before, send me your ideas and let’s create something truly special together!

Cascading Silk Bridal Bouquet with Purple Flowers

, ,

Purple is an awesome color and looks fantastic in weddings of all seasons. Lighter tones look great for summer and spring and darker tones work well in fall and winter. And you really can’t go wrong by using darker and lighter tones together for silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquets. Take Wendy’s bouquet for example. Her cascading silk bridal bouquet included Peonies, Roses and Calla Lilies in shades of white and ivory along with Violets in a deeper purple and Lavender in, well, lavender. She liked the idea of some greenery in there, so we added a few varieties including Fern, Rosemary sprigs and Ficus for a very timeless look.

Wendy also needed two custom altar arrangements with silk wedding flowers for her ceremony. She already had 2 quart Mason jars she planned to use for the vases, so I created two of these matching arrangements to just drop into her jars on the big day.
