Boho Chic Wedding with Sunflowers, Dusty Blue and Ivory - Reveal

, , ,

I am in love with the look of today’s featured wedding! Ashley had a specific vision for her wedding flowers and was able to really communicate that well as we hunted for the perfect flowers. Her colors were dusty blue, yellow, greenery and hints of ivory to match her dress. She wanted to incorporate a specific type of Dahlia, some Sunflowers, and Forget-Me-Nots in her cascading style bridal bouquet. I also added in Ranunculus, mini Sunflowers, Queen Anne’s Lace and a variety of greenery for a full, textured bouquet. Thanks to Kassandra Russell at Granite Stag Photography, we get to see some photos from this beautiful wedding day!

One of my favorite details from Ashley’s custom silk wedding flowers actually has nothing to do with me:) She added beautiful macrame wraps to each of the bridal party bouquets. They complemented her amazing lacey, crochet-look dress. This is a great example of how you can customize anything to make your silk wedding flowers completely unique, and completely you!

Here we get a little peak at the custom hair piece made to match Ashley’s bouquet. It pairs great with a veil, but can stand on its own too!

Here’s their awesome bridal party featuring attire in different shades of blue.

The bridesmaids carried round hand tied bouquets with a slightly different mix of flowers. Ashley wanted to incorporate Billy Buttons into their bouquets, and we left out the Dahlia and the Forget-Me-Nots to keep them as special elements for her bouquet. Their clutch style bouquets had a few Ranunculus, Sunflowers and Billy Buttons with the same greenery as the bridal bouquet.

The backdrop for their ceremony was stunning. Ashley wanted flowers for the arch that featured the Sunflowers and Dahlias and filled in with greenery. As you can see, they didn’t need to be big and bold because the woods were the main feature!

These simple centerpieces incorporated her flowers and colors in mini bouquets. Ashley had picked out vases on her end, so I created these mini bouquets to work with what she had. Another benefit of silk flowers is that I work with your needs to come up with budget friendly options that are beautiful!

I mean, we gotta show the puppies, right?

I thought this was the cutest shot to end with. Their sweet flower girls had flower crowns with some mini accent flowers and baby’s breath.

Peach, Pink, Blue, and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, ,

I love a spring bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers. This one was especially fun to design. Caroline gave me some creative leeway in designing her custom bouquets. She knew she wanted peach, pink, blue, and yellow then let me figure out the rest. I’m excited that later this week, I can share a few of her amazing photos!

The bridal bouquet was a round handtied style that was loose and whimsical. It incorporated peach Cabbage Roses and Poppies, pink Cosmos, blue Heather and yellow Billy Buttons. I suggested some Lamb’s Ear for a soft touch of “greenery” and Caroline was game. You can’t tell from the photos but this bouquet not only looked bouncy and light and fun, but it had some movement to it that made it even more real looking!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a similar mix of flowers, but I switched out the large Poppies for smaller ones to account for the smaller bouquet size.

The boutonnieres and corsages had the same mix of bright colors and interesting textures. Each one a little different from the other, but all matched the theme and color scheme of the bouquets.

Check back later this week to see our beautiful bride Caroline and her beautiful custom silk wedding flowers!

Winter Wonderland Blush Pink Silk Wedding Flowers

, , , ,

Earlier this week I showed you a white and green color palette that was so very romantic, but today I’m upping the romance ante’. I introduce you to Mike the wonder-husband! Mike was ordering the flowers as a surprise for his bride-to-be. He had a few inspiration photos but let me me make some creative suggestions as we worked together to come up with a truly custom look for January wedding.

This magnificent bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with tons of Dusty Miller, ivory Roses, blush pink Billy Buttons, blush pink Berries and a few large focal point flowers of “snow” covered Dahlia in blush pink. This bouquet was so dreamy, and so not your typical winter wedding bouquet. We left out the green and red and even the evergreen branches typical of this season.

Mike ordered two pin on corsages for his fiancee’s daughters to wear and went simple for his groom’s boutonniere with an ivory Rose, Berries, and Dusty Miller.

They planned to have a small reception at a restaurant in downtown Minneapolis and he wanted a custom centerpiece for each table. Rather than a solid vase, Mike had the great idea to do clear vases with fake snow in them. It was a charming way to embrace the time of year here in the Twin Cities.
