Custom Silk Flower Arrangement for the Home for Multiple Seasons

Linda contacted me about a custom silk flower arrangement for a corner of her home. She already had a table, the vase and color scheme in mind. We collaborated on types of flowers, overall look and the finished size to come up with this beautiful custom silk arrangement for the home. With her color scheme of red and white, it works with every season for an elegant corner arrangement. Take a look below to see it in her home!

“I am very happy with my arrangement and you were wonderful to work with. I would give you 5 🌟. I also liked the flowers you used, they are very high quality.”

Custom Silk Flower Arrangement for Special Occasions

There are quite a few reasons why fresh flowers may not be an option. Wanda contacted me about a family member she wanted to send flowers to who was going through cancer treatment. She wasn’t able to be around fresh flowers, so Wanda though silk flowers would be a great option, and she was right. She gave me a few parameters and her budget and I got to work designing a custom arrangement for her.

Wanda enjoyed the simple process so much that a few weeks later she placed an order for a graduation gift that would double as dorm room decor and a sympathy arrangement to be delivered after a funeral.

This graduation arrangement would need to be bright and fun for a young lady heading off to college. I used corals, pinks and a touch of yellow. Wanda requested some pinks and Baby’s Breath, so I was sure to include those elements. The geometric accent vase makes for a floral arrangement that is both modern and feminine.

A sympathy arrangement can be bright and striking, but for something that stays in the home, a more subtle look seemed appropriate. I used a blend of mauve, pink, and ivory flowers with greenery in a more classically styled vase for an arrangement meant to be a sweet reminder of a loved one lost.

This last arrangement was a recent order from Wanda for her Great Aunt who needed a little cheering up in her care facility. With all of the restrictions happening, Wanda wanted a bright spot in her Great Aunt’s room. A custom silk flower arrangement is a great way to do just that!

Alternative Arrangements

Amanda, who I mentioned in my last post, had settled on the luxurious St. Paul College Club for her reception. Located next to the Governor's mansion in St. Paul, Minnesota, this charming and historically rich home is a great place for a wedding any time of year. Built in 1916, it boasts 25 rooms, 10 baths, and 7 fireplaces. Their website not only provides the historical context for this fascinating building, but also provides virtual tours of the facilities. Be sure and check it out!

Ok, back to Amanda...after she picked up her finished flowers, she made a discovery about her venue. There was a gorgeous fireplace, with a not so gorgeous feather wreath and she really wanted an alternative arrangement. We talked through several ideas including another wreath that incorporated her flowers and colors. But as I hunted around I came across a beautiful, rustic, detailed window pane that I knew would be perfect for the space. The wrought iron detail made it interesting on its own, but adding in flowers and greenery would make it that much more spectacular.

(This is a picture of the actual fireplace.)

Our original idea for the design was to have small clusters spread out over the pane. But as I started playing around with it, we realized it was just too pretty to be covered up so much. So we kept moving the clusters until they got farther and farther away from ironwork, allowing it to showcase the beautiful details. We added in some greenery and voila, it was perfect! So without further ado, here's the finishing touch on Amanda's beautiful fall flowers:

Boxwood, Phalenopsis Orchids in cream, Mini Phalenopsis Orchids in Burgundy, and Bear Grass.

I'm looking forward to seeing this beauty hanging in its rightful place come September. And the great part about this piece is that we designed it to also hang in Amanda's home after the wedding. Amanda was so easy to work with and gave such great feedback all throughout the design process. Best wishes to her and her fiance'!
