Recreating a Bouquet You Love For Your Wedding - Reveal & Review

I’ve had a number of brides find a blog post of mine and fall in love with the look of a bouquet I’ve made for another bride. Today’s bride, Tommy, loved this modified cascade bridal bouquet that I made a few years ago and wanted the same bouquet for herself! I was able to design a few more custom arrangements to match and we had custom silk wedding flowers for her big day! Let’s take a look at a few of the photos Tommy sent me from her photographer, Ron Park Photography.

Tommy’s modified cascade silk bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, dusty blue Wisteria, white Baby’s Breath, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Succulents and Peacock Feathers. Her daughter carried a small, simplified bouquet of Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath, one Succulent and some Eucalyptus. I really liked how they complemented each other without being matchy-matchy.

The groom’s boutonniere included a Succulent, mini Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath and a touch of the dusty blue Wisteria. I loved that Tommy went with a Succulent as the main “flower” for the boutonniere.

I also got to design and create two custom hair pieces for Tommy and her daughter. We used the same mix of flowers from the bridal bouquet with a touch of smaller leafed greenery and of course those classy Peacock feathers had to make an appearance!

I was searching for examples of sunflowers and peacock feather bouquets and came across Love Is Blooming. I emailed Erin immediately when I saw she had made the exact combination that I was looking for. She was great to work with, very informative and kept me updated on the progress.

Friday the 13th Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

Amanda reached out to me for custom silk wedding flowers for their Friday the 13th wedding. Her colors were forest green, black and ivory and in her words, they were, “going for a spooky/gothic vibe.” I’m actually going to be sharing in two parts because Amanda and her husband had a small ceremony here in Minneapolis and then a private ceremony out in the Black Hills. So today, let’s take a look at some moody, mysterious and gothic flowers, photographed by the very talented Winsome Photography.

Amanda sent me some great inspiration photos that helped me suggest a great mix of flowers and greenery for her bouquet. We settled on a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of sand Roses, black Dahlia, black Skimmia, ivory Gardenia, 3 types of Eucalyptus and a single peach Rose that Amanda had requested as a special accent. She also really wanted to some ivory pearls mixed in and I found some lovely clusters that added texture and a bit of shine to the bouquet.

To bring in the gothic theme even more, our creative couple requested the boutonniere include a raven skull. Thankfully, they found that because I wouldn’t even know where to look! But it was the perfect size to add a touch of flowers and greenery to and really seal the deal on the gothic vibe.

While the ceremony had to be moved indoors due to rain, they were able to get some pretty great city-scape photos of St. Paul.

I love that they just went with the flow of the day and made it work! Amanda even made her own ceremony arrangement knowing they would have to move things indoors. And you can see in these photos that they were really focusing on what was important, each other!

Not to be left out from the big day, their two sweet puppies got to be part of the action! I created a custom floral dog collar that incorporated their colors and greenery. Since she was still growing, I was able to make it adjustable so account for all that fluff!

This was such a fun wedding to create flowers for. Check back later this week to see part two with some stunning destination wedding photos from their private ceremony in the Black Hills of South Dakota!

Dusty Pink, Nude and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Weddings are so romantic, and when you add in some soft colors and florals that remind me of candlelight, it just ups the romance factor even more! Local bride Erica’s colors were champagne and earth tones, and we had a lot of fun talking through options to give her a look that was dreamy and sweet and went with the dresses but stood out, too. Let’s take a look at the beautiful photos from Katy Greseth with Captured Glory Photography of Erica’s big day!

Here’s our very happy and very photogenic couple! Erica’s bouquet was a mix of dusty pink Roses, nude Roses, White Roses, white Seeds and Baby’s Breath, Olive greenery and Seeded Eucalyptus. The style was not a true round ball style but not quite as branch as some handtied styles. It has a classic feel to it with lots of texture and shape, but leaned a little more formal than casual.

I LOVE these champagne bridesmaid dresses! They are incredibly classic in color but I love that they each chose their own style. The bridesmaid bouquets were a simplified version of the bridal bouquet with a little less roundness to them. The greenery provided a good frame around the flowers and made them look so good against the champagne dresses.

Erica also ordered a custom altar arrangement that she wanted to be lush and full to match the setting of her outdoor ceremony. It also incorporated the same mix of flowers and greenery from the bridal bouquet but made to fit in the corner of the natural wood and vine arch at the ceremony site.

Erin was amazing to work with on my wedding flowers! She sent photo updates throughout the process and when I changed my mind about certain flowers she offered alternatives and swapped them out for me in our bouquets. She worked in a timely manner, had great communication and excellent prices. Would definitely use her services again!

Plum, Blush, Rose Gold, Navy and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I love today’s color palette of plum, blush, rose gold, navy and white silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquet. This moody look can work with any season, a ceremony at any time of day and looks great indoors or outdoors. You’re going to see what I’m talking about with these photos of Jessica’s custom silk wedding flowers by Michael Anderson Photography.

Here’s our happy couple! Jessica’s bouquet was a round ball style bouquet with a mix of white Garden Roses, plum Tea Roses, navy Garden Roses, mauve Peonies, and one navy Magnolia as a feature flower. We wanted a color that would bridge the darks and lights so we incorporated some magenta purple Ranunculus to create a nice blend. Jessica didn’t want greenery to be a focal but she wanted a touch, so we added a light collar of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus around the bottom of her bouquet. The groom’s boutonniere was a white Rose, magenta purple Ranunculus, navy accent flowers and a touch of greenery.

I LOVE this photo! The backdrop is beautiful, the warm and cozy shawls they are wearing and the variety of dress colors makes for such an interesting and lovely photo. We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to be a little different than the bridal but incorporated the same color scheme. To differentiate between their bouquets and Jessica’s, I reduced the size, changed out the white Roses for white Baby’s Breath and we did not include a Magnolia.

Beautiful flowers for my wedding that will last a lifetime! Erin was great to work with and found me the perfect floral colors to match my wedding colors. I am very glad I chose this small business and will gladly refer Love is Blooming to family and friends.

Terra Cotta, Rust and Neutral Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

When I was in high school, centuries ago, our school colors were orange and navy blue. My school was built in the 60’s, and apparently, those colors were a hot combination! Us enlightened youth though there was no way orange could be or ever would be a popular color again. I stand corrected! I am in love with this hot new trend of neutrals, earth tones and terra cotta, rust and oranges. Never would I have put them together myself, but we only need to look to nature for inspiration! Today’s lovely wedding photos were passed on to me by my awesome bride Brianna! She had a clear vision for her flowers and I was honored to bring it to life! The following photos are by Bob Durling and you can find him on Instagram.

Brianna’s bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of orange preserved Bunny Tails, off white Pampas, rust Roses, white Roses, white Bamboo, orange Eucalyptus, mini beige Pampas, and beige Baby's Breath. It had more pieces going vertical than you might see in a typical round style bridal bouquet, but that only added interest! The bridesmaid bouquets had the same mix of flowers, just in a smaller size.

Brianna also needed an altar arrangement go on this beautiful arch. It was nicely accented with draped fabric that tied everything together nicely for the decor.

These custom aisle arrangements were a great way to draw the eyes all the way down the aisle and also stretch the decor farther into the room.

Are you considering a color combination that maybe you never thought you would? Or maybe it’s a classic color palette that you’d like to put a new spin on?

Red, Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Today’s color combination might have you thinking, why are you sharing this in November? Shouldn’t this be a 4th of July post? That right there is why I’m sharing it now. While this color palette can be equated with the Stars and Stripes, it doesn’t have to! Bride Samantha and her sister worked with me to create custom silk wedding flowers that incorporated the colors Samantha loved without looking patriotic. Let’s take a look at her red, blue and white silk wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented NuView Photography!

Samantha had favorite flowers she wanted to include in the designs and she sent me the bridesmaid dress color that was a beautiful dusty blue. We landed on deep red Roses, dusty blue Roses, brighter red Begonias, navy Mums, white Baby’s Breath and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The bouquets were round handtied style with different combinations of navy, dusty blue and red ribbon wrapped and crisscrossed over the stems.

This picture gives a great look at the detail on Samantha’s bouquet up close. She wanted a touch of lace, so we found a way to include that on her bouquet and she added a few small framed photos to honor loved ones.

red-white-blue-custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-bridesmaid-bouquets-boutonnieres

I love pictures like this that include so many special people in the couples’ lives! If you zoom in on our awesome couple, you’ll see a couple of non-humans that are special too. They were not only a part of the big day, they got in on the flower action too!

Look at these sweet babies! One wore a suit that matched the bridal party and had a tiny boutonniere to match. The other kitty wore a dress and I created a custom flower crown for her tiny kitty head!

Erin is amazing! I was able to just give her my vision for what I wanted for my wedding, and she was able to take all the ideas and create an amazing bouquet for my girls and I. Erin was very patient with all my edits and what if ideas throughout the process. Erin explained the different techniques that she was using to create the bouquets. At the wedding my guests were amazed (including my photographers) that the flowers weren’t real! I would highly recommend her services!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flowers - Fixing a Mistake

Today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation was part recreation, part fixing a mistake. Kyle sent me photos to share with me that his wife’s bouquet wasn’t made correctly and so her bouquet wasn’t what had hoped to carry down the aisle. It was supposed to have white Hydrangea and Baby’s Breath, pink Roses and Ruscus. Instead, there were champagne Roses and Hydrangea added in and she didn’t love it. My job was to recreate the bouquet, but make it right for his wife! Let’s take a look!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-fixed-silk-wedding-flowers-anniversary-gift

As you can see from the photos, the champagne flowers stood out in the kind of way that you don’t want. But recreating the bouquet allowed Kyle to get her the bouquet she had dreamed of.

Worked closely with me to recreate my wife’s wedding bouquet for our anniversary. Was very quick with turnaround and it looked beautiful.
— Kyle | Hawaii

One tricky part of this bouquet was figuring out how the stems were wrapped. The closest photo we had showed what looked like copper color ribbon with glittery ribbon criss-crossed over the top. Kyle remembered it being more of a rosegold color, so we went with that to finish off the look.

Sunflowers and White Roses Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Welcome back to another addition of “Oh my gosh, that’s so pretty!” I love it when the custom silk wedding flowers I create for a bride end up matching her personality perfectly. Today’s wedding flowers are bubbly, bright, classic, pretty, and fun! This makes it easy to introduce bride Kalie to you because as you’ll see from the photos, she’s all those things too! Let’s take a look at the photos she sent from her photographer Amanda Hansen Photography that you can find on Facebook.

I mean, you get it now right? Look at that smile! Ok, back to the flowers. Kalie’s bouquet was a round handtied style with white Garden Roses Sunflowers, white Baby’s Breath, black Skimmia Berries, small leaf Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. And if you still weren’t sure how fun she is, take a look at her wedding shoes! Love it!

The bridesmaids carried slightly different bouquets that were round handtied style with just Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath, small leaf and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. I love that they were different so that Kalie’s bouquet stood out more, without being a completely different look. And that gold in the Sunflowers really popped against their black dresses.

I also created two custom altar arrangements to go on the gazebo at their ceremony site. It added a nice touch of color to the all white backdrop, tied in with the bouquets and made for a cohesive look.

Erin was absolutely incredible from the second I contacted her. She was so easy to work with, sweet and kind and extremely detailed. She listened to everything I wanted and suggested the route we go and I was absolutely in love with my flowers. The cost was amazing for the quality! 10/10 recommend!
— Kalie | New York

We can’t forget about our littlest participants! The flower girls each carried mini bouquets and looked like they fit right in with all the grownups in the wedding party. So cute!

Remember those altar arrangements just a few photos ago? I always recommend finding a place that your altar arrangements can do double duty. For Kalie, they had this awesome hoop behind their sweetheart table. Without any decorations you can see how it might just disappear into the background. Ask a friend to help take down your altar arrangement(s) and rehang or place at your reception site and you have instant decor!

Thanks again to our happy couple for sharing their big day with all of us. If you are looking for custom silk wedding flowers that match your personality, style and flair, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

White, Taupe, and Nude Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I am so excited to share today’s wedding on the blog! Neutrals and earth tones have been a hot ticket this last year, and as more and more brides get brave enough to try it out, the more I get to share new and lovely color combinations. Today’s wedding features white, taupe, and nude silk wedding flowers. Bride Kirsten sent me these gorgeous photos to share with you from their very talented photographer Henry Roy Photography. Let’s check them out!

Here’s our magazine worthy couple, in their stunning attire with a absolutely perfect backdrop! Kirsten’s round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of white Ranunculus, nude Garden Roses, taupe Cosmos, beige Baby’s Breath, and three varieties of sage color Greenery. Lots of texture, lots of variety in shape and a soft color palette that blends with nature perfectly! The groom’s boutonniere was a nude Garden Rose, taupe Cosmos, beige Baby’s Breath and sage Greenery.

I just love this shot with the fern from the forest accentuating all the greenery in her bouquet!

Erin is fantastic to work with! Reasonably priced, custom, and beautiful!
— Kirsten | South Dakota

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers with Navy-Reveal

Navy has been a hot color for the last few years, and it’s been a fun addition to custom silk wedding flowers in all seasons! Today’s wedding features navy with some more traditional fall colors-burgundy and gold. Sheldynn’s fall silk wedding flowers were a vibrant mix of colors, a variety of textures and shapes, but overall a really classic look. Let’s take a look at the photos from their talented photographers The Grotheers.

Here’s our happy couple! Sheldynn’s modified cascade bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, burgundy Peonies, Dahlia and Roses, navy Delphinium and Berries, white Heather and Baby’s Breath, burgundy Amaranthus and Lamb’s Ear and Ruscus for a pop of green. The groom’s boutonniere was a single burgundy Rose bud with Baby’s Breath, berries and Lamb’s Ear.

The bridesmaids were wearing these gorgeous halter dresses that were the perfect complement to the Peonies. Not to mention, they made all the other colors really stand out! Their bouquets were round handtied style with the same mix of flowers and greenery, including that touch of Amaranthus for a unique addition to their bouquets.

Such a classy looking group!

Wedding Bouquet Recreation with Bling

I have an awesome bouquet recreation in silk flowers to show you today that includes some really beautiful bling! Amy reached out to me about recreating her daughter’s lovely wedding bouquet. You can see in the photos below from their photographer Royal Studio- Chicago that it was a stunning mix of white and deep red Roses along with some dusty pink Roses, Spray Roses, Baby’s Breath and some white Caspia. The cool thing about her daughter’s bouquet is that it incorporated small gold brooches with rhinestones and a large blue and gold jeweled brooch that was a show stopper. Amy was able to send both of them to me to include the recreation. Let’s take a look at the side by side to see them both together!

Ivory, Champagne and Burnt Orange Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Every few years, a new hot wedding color comes on the scene. A few brave brides go for it, and pretty soon, it’s taking the wedding world by storm. That color is currently burnt orange or terra cotta or some iteration of orange. What’s cool about orange is…well, it’s warmth! It can bring to mind a sunset or being fireside or the warm fuzzies you get when you think of fall coming after a blazing hot summer. Today’s wedding is a lovely example of incorporating ivory, champagne and burnt orange into custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at the professional photos bride Katrina sent me from her photographer at Brittany Nicole Photography.

Here’s our knockout bride, Katrina! Here loose, round handtied style bouquet was a mix of peach Cabbage Roses, nude pink Roses, burnt orange Roses, beige Baby's breath, champagne Peonies, cream Cosmos, Lamb's ear, some pink seeds, sage greenery and a mix of Eucalyptus and Olive greenery. We included texture, variety, shades of peaches, champagne and burnt orange and a touch of nude pink.

The bridesmaids were burnt orange dresses that an embossed floral pattern on them, which I thought was such a unique touch and added visual interest to their whole look! Their bouquets were also loose, round handtied style bouquets with the same mix as the bridal bouquet, but with an extra blush pink Rose added in.

The groom wore a navy suit, so his burnt orange Rose with a Cosmos, Baby’s Breath and greenery really popped!

We went with a nude pink rose for the groomsmen, in a similar style but different, just like their gray suits!

I absolutely love the style of Katrina’s cake with it’s rustic vibe with the rough buttercream. The floral clusters for the layers brought it all together.

Erin does an INCREDIBLE job! She is so kind and just truly an incredible person! She is so easy to work with and really brings your dreams to reality! She created our flower arrangements BETTER than I could have ever imagined and made the whole process just 100000x easier for the stressed out bride! 1000/10 would recommend to literally everyone in need of arrangements!
— Katrina | Texas

Katrina wanted a low spray for her head table, which worked perfectly with their custom sign that incorporated their last names. Yes, their last names really are Human and Peoples, a perfect match right??

A huge thank you to Katrina for sharing photos from their big day! Do you love the idea of incorporating orange into your wedding flowers?

Lush Neutral Silk Wedding Flowers Part 2 - Ceremony and Centerpiece Flowers

Monday, I shared with you Alexis’ amazing custom silk bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. Today, I get to bring the drama with her custom ceremony arrangements and centerpieces. All of these images are by the very talented Marissa Murdy Studio.

The ceremony site had a rustic industrial vibe with brick and beams and black metal. Their “arch” was a hexagon that needed some softening. I created two swags to attach to the corners for an asymmetrical look. They both incorporated Pampas, Roses, Cosmos, white Ruscus and Eucalyptus and Baby’s Breath.

One thing I’ll preach from the rooftops is to make your decor work for you! This is a great example of how to do that. Alexis had custom structures for their centerpieces, that also worked perfectly a the ends of the rows of chairs for the ceremony. You can see how that looks in the photo above and then see how seamlessly they become centerpieces! All you need is a few helping hands willing to carry your pieces from one area to the next. And because you’re working with silk flowers, you don’t need to worry about heavy arrangements, water sloshing around, or smooshing anything that may get dropped or bumped. Your flower girl could carry these and they would be totally fine!

You can also see, in the photo above, one of the altar arrangements doing double duty on the head table. It’s a great use of the space and your budget! Another way to stretch your budget is to purchase some simple vases for you bridesmaids to drop their vases in. Whether along the headtable, cake or food tables, or even in a cocktail area, you can use what you have to incorporate florals around your reception area.

What did you think of Alexis’ flowers? Do you love the subtle shades of white, champagne and taupe in custom silk wedding flowers?

Burgundy and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Last week’s post featured a shade of blue that’s coming on the scene and picking up speed. Today, I want to share with you a wedding that features a tried and true combo: burgundy and navy blue! I’ve done quite a few weddings with this combination over the last few years as more and more couples chose navy instead of black for suits and tuxes. And today’s wedding is a great example of that. Let’s take a look at these very pretty images from Beauridge Photography.

Here’s my gorgeous bride Brittany who was so generous to share her pictures with me. Her loose, round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses and Dahlia, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus.

Erin was amazing to work with. The flowers turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! She always stayed in contact with me throughout the process and she was super affordable. Several of my bridesmaids have their flowers displayed in their homes. I love that I can keep my bridal bouquet for years to come. Thank you Erin for everything!
— Brittany | New Jersey

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same greenery, Baby’s breath and featured on burgundy Dahlia and one navy Ranunculus. It allowed Brittany’s bouquet to stand out even more!

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-burgundy-navy-bridesmaid-bouquets

The groom wore a boutonniere of a burgundy rose, navy Ranunculus and mixed greenery.

Brittany wanted some cake flowers and opted to order a loose assortment of flowers and greens for her baker to place on the cake. It is a great option if you are still decided on a topper or just want to have options!

Black and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

Back in November, I shared a stunning black, red and burgundy wedding. Today, I get to share another eye catching combo of black and burgundy that features another black wedding dress! Let’s take a look at Carlie’s unique and stunning wedding! Photos are by Alexis Ziemski you can find her on Instagram @lenscapkid. 

With a dress like this, the flowers need to add, not take away from it. Carlie’s bouquet was a modified cascade style of burgundy Roses, black Roses, black Baby's Breath, burgundy and white Callas, black Eucalyptus and satin ribbon.

The bridesmaids wore burgundy which was a great match to the roses. Their bouquets were round handtied style with the same mix of flowers and “greenery.”

I worked with Erin for my wedding bouquets and they turned out perfect! Erin was absolutely wonderful through out the entire process!

Custom Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

Back in June, I shared Sarah’s custom silk bridal bouquet I made to match her existing bridesmaid bouquets. It was a lovely mix of purple and white flowers with a touch of navy. Her silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round hand-tied style full of white Garden and Cabbage Roses, lavender Garden Roses, medium purple Ranunculus and cabbage Roses, plum tea Roses, Lavender, white Baby’s Breath, Waxflower and Blueberries. I made it nice and lush with adding a variety of greenery, including: Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Standard Eucalyptus and Ruscus. Her accent color was navy, so she chose a satin navy ribbon to finish off her bouquet. Today I get to share a few photos from Sarah’s big day provided by her photographer Emily Anderson Photography. Check her out here on Instagram and here on Facebook.

Erin was wonderful to work with. I sent her some ideas I had in mind for my bridal bouquet and colors. She sent me a mock up super fast and was great at changing out flowers I didn’t like. I loved my bouquet and so happy with how it turned out. I was so afraid of my flowers looking fake and I can contest it was absolutely beautiful and far from looking fake. I would recommend Erin and go to her again for any floral need.

Blush and White Destination Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Back in July, I shared photos of a pretty little bridal bouquet I made for Heather. I needed to post an update once Heather sent me her professional photos because they are STUNNING! From her vintage inspired dress to the colorful back grounds, these photos are inspiring! The amazing images are by Andi Artigue .Let’s take a look at Heather’s silk flowers for a Vegas destination wedding!

Heather sent me inspiration photos that included roses, orchids and a few tropical accents. She originally wanted all white but decided to add in some blush for contrast. Her asymmetrical cascade bridal bouquet included white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white and nude pink Garden Roses, white Baby’s Breath and blush pink Anthurium. We planned for a smaller bouquet to accommodate her travel needs, but as you can see this bouquet was still high impact despite it’s smaller size.

So happy I found Love Is Blooming to create my custom silk bouquet!

Erin was great. She worked with my (many) inspo pictures to pick out all of the flowers and other elements that I wanted. She also helped me pick out the right size and shape since I would be flying with my bouquet and was worried about how to transport something more traditional.

She was super responsive and provided several updates to the status of my bouquet and asked for feedback before shipping (I didn’t have any as her creation was perfect and more than everything I envisioned).

Erin truly made something that could have been very stressful so easy and I would recommend her business to anyone!
— Heather | Texas

Heather’s dress was a beautiful lace number, so we matched that look with soft pink satin ribbon wrapped with lace and trailing lace tales. It goes with her dress so well!

Copper and Cream Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

What I LOVE about my job is the creativity! Cressie contacted me and wanted to have copper somehow incorporated into her wedding flowers. Finding ways to incorporate unique accents, like copper or peacock feathers or pinecones (I could go one) is a fun challenge. It needs to be noticeable, but not in a “I just put copper piping in your bouquet” kind of way. I went on the hunt and found this beautiful copper-tinged Sword Eucalyptus that felt like the perfect touch for her custom silk flower bouquets. Let’s take a look at the photos Cressie sent over from her very talented photographer, Shawgo Studios.

For Cressie’s bouquet, I used a variety of cream silk wedding flowers. My favorites were the Sophia Roses that had a deeper, almost taupe center to them. They added so much depth. She also had Cabbage Roses, Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus for more traditional types of greenery. Both Cressie and her bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquets.

I still love the look of varying shades and styles of bridesmaid dresses. And I bet the bridesmaids love it too!

The flowers looked amazing!
