Bouquet Recreation Anniversary Gift - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Alexander reached out to me about surprising his wife for their 5th anniversary. He shared that they had dried out her original bouquet, but that it was a little sad to look at now. He sent me photos of the original by Ashley Craddock Photography and I got to work tracking down everything I would need to recreate this happy and bright bridal bouquet in custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look!

Her original bouquet was a mix of blue Delphinium, magenta Daisies, red Roses, white Roses and spray Roses, purple Statice and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in a round handtied style.

“Absolutely fantastic service! Erin did a great job recreating my wife’s wedding bouquet and we couldn’t be happier. Excellent communication and reasonable prices!”

Mountain Destination Wedding - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I hereby declare this the year of the wildflower wedding! I have absolutely loved creating several wildflower inspired silk bridal bouquets and the extra fun detail is that they’ve had such beautiful backdrops! Rachel’s wedding is another example of that! She was planning a micro wedding in Colorado, so technically a destination wedding since she calls Nebraska home. She sent me some inspiration photos, noting that she wanted a loose, more wild looking bouquet with color and some ivory. I sent flower suggestions, and we worked on the designs together. Now I get to show you the lovely results of our teamwork. Here are some photographs from Abby Shepard Photography.

I feel like there’s not much to say, except, WOW! Not only was Rachel a magazine worthy bride, but the location they chose for the wedding is breathtaking. The design we came up with together for her bridal bouquet was a good complement to the natural surroundings. It added the perfect amount of color and texture! Rachel’s carried a large loose, handtied style bouquet with a mix of white Daisies, blue Blossoms, Billy Buttons, orange Zinnias, coral Cosmos, yellow Wild Daisies, white Astilbe, blue Delphinium, yellow Baby's Breath, Ruscus and Eucalyptus. Let’s take a closer look at the bouquet and we also get to see the amazing detail on Rachel’s dress!

We finished off her bouquet with a satin chiffon, raw edge ribbon in antique white. You can see the detail of the ribbon on the groom’s boutonniere in this photo. His boutonniere complemented the bouquet with a coral Cosmos, Daisy, yellow wild Daisy, blue Blossoms and greenery.

Here’s a good example of crafting your designs to work with your location. I think a really formal bouquet would work with this mountain landscape, but it was also begging for a wildflower bouquet like Rachel’s.

National Park Destination Wedding - Reveal and Review

, , ,

This summer, my family visited two national parks, and I’m always amazed at how beautiful and unique they are! Now, imagine a destination wedding at one, specifically Grand Teton National Park! I’m SO excited to share this very scenario with you today. Masie was looking for a wildflower look to match her bridesmaid dress colors, and she needed silk wedding flowers to comply with national park guidelines. Let’s take a look at these stunning photos by Anna Harrington Photography (@itsannaharrington on IG and Tik Tok).

Here’s our beautiful bride Masie with her large, loose handtied style bouquet with a mix of blue Blossoms, blue, white and pink Delphinium, peach Gardenia, lavender Mums, yellow Roses, peach Hydrangea, yellow Forsythia, Lily of the Valley, blue Bougainvillea, blush Dahlias, lavender Cosmos and a Magnolia to honor her late Grandmother.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquet with the same mix of flowers as Masie’s bouquet, but without the Magnolia. Their bouquets featured each of the color of their dresses and complemented them so well!

“Erin was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so kind, easygoing, and brought my vision to life in a way that was even more beautiful than I imagined. Since we had a destination wedding in a National Park and couldn’t use real flowers, I was a little nervous about how silk-pressed flowers would look but Erin completely exceeded our expectations. Our bouquets were absolutely stunning and looked so incredibly real that all of our guests were amazed when they found out they weren’t fresh flowers! Every detail was thoughtfully designed and made our wedding feel so beautiful and personal. And the best part? I get to keep my flowers forever. 🤍 I can turn them into home décor, enjoy them for years to come, and hopefully even pass them down to future generations for their weddings. They’re so much more than wedding flowers they’re a forever keepsake from one of the most special days of our lives. We couldn’t recommend Erin enough!”
— Masie | Minnesota

When you know the details: Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Most of the recreations that I create only have pictures for me to examine, and some come with an invoice or description from the florist. While that might seem like a winning combination, it’s not always helpful because fresh florists often make last minute substitutions based on availability, quality and cost. I know I’ve said it a lot on my blog, but one of the best things about custom silk wedding flowers is that you will know exactly what you are getting for your big day. There are never last minute substitutions or surprises.

Mychal reached out to me about a bouquet recreation for his April anniversary and sent me several photos of the bouquet along with list of what was in the bouquet. After comparing the photos to the list, it was a one of the closest matches I’ve seen yet! Let’s take a look at Mychal’s custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers alongside the original in these photos from Jessica Wall Photography.

According to Mychal’s list this round handtied bridal bouquet was a mixture of Sandstone Roses, blush pink Roses, cream Mums, white Carnations, blue Hydrangea, blue Delphinium and blush pink Spray Roses. I also noticed white Baby’s Breath and Eucalyptus which Mychal agreed needed to be included to complete the look. It’s always helpful to have a few sets of eyes to look for all the different components.

Whether I get high resolution photos, screen shots or scanned images from old photos, I do my absolute best to recreate the bouquet as close to the original as possible.

“Erin is a truly gifted artist, she was able to take a few blurry photos from my wedding and recreate my wife’s bouquet perfectly! She checked in regularly to get my input, and completed it faster than expected. I highly recommend Love Is Blooming!”
— Mychal | Michigan

Don’t have a list from your florist but still hope to have your bouquet recreated. Send me your photos with all your important details included and let’s work together on recreating a beautiful bouquet for someone you love!

Summer Wedding Flower Inspiration

, , , , , , ,

While I absolutely love to share photos from clients’ wedding day, sometimes I don’t get that opportunity. But it would be such a waste to not share those pretty bouquet with you on my blog! So today, I decided that since we are heading towards summer, I would share some photos of finished arrangements that might inspire you for your summer wedding.

This bouquet is for an upcoming June wedding, but I just couldn’t wait to share it with you, so this is her big debut! This bouquet is packed full of color and texture and features: Roses, Poppies, Orchids, Delphinium, Astilbe and a whole bunch of greenery. I love the pop of yellow!

Speaking of yellow, you can’t go wrong with this color combination-yellow and blue! This combination of yellow Roses, blue Hydrangea, Daisies and white Baby’s Breath is a classic summer look!

If you have a tropical wedding, this one is for you! This awesome bouquet is a mix of pink Anthurium, Ginger and Roses with a collar of Monstera, Palm and Banana leaves. Makes me want to stroll down a beach!

I love that the wildflower look is growing in popularity. This vibrant bouquet mixes a ton of color and texture and keeps your eye moving all over the bouquet. Every time you look at it, you see something new!

Pink never gets old! Especially when you do a mixture of blush, coral, watermelon and white together. It elevates the look from a simple pink bouquet to a handful of bright and happy!

The last bouquet I wanted to show you is a great bouquet for either summer or fall. It combines some lighter colors along with more saturated tones to be a good mix for either season. It allows the sunflowers to look bright and summery as well as rich and moody.

If you are planning your later summer 2026 wedding or summer 2027 wedding, I hope this inspired you at creative ways to incorporate the flowers and colors that you love into a custom silk bridal bouquet for your big day!

White and Blue Bouquet Recreation - Reveal

, , , ,

Jay reached out to me for a bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers for his anniversary and Christmas gift. He sent me some awesome photos of the original bouquet along with a write-up from the florist (bonus points for that!) which helped me determine what actually appeared in the bouquet. They had made some changes to the original suggestions, which is the case with most fresh flower bridal bouquets. What was actually in it was a little different than what the florist had proposed, so having the list and the photos was super helpful!

Let’s take a look at this beautiful bouquet with the recreation to compare!

Photo by Shaya Oliver Photography

This round, handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of white Garden Roses, white Spray Roses, white Ranunculus, white Stock, blue Delphinium, blue Muscari, white Astilbe, Ruscus and Eucalyptus. It was full and textured, and I loved the greenery draping out from the bouquet a little bit.

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

After a few months of lots of white winter backdrop, I love seeing photos like today’s! Warmth, depth, color… It brings me joy in the middle of winter! Today’s bride, Dariya, shared her wedding photos with me with fall silk wedding flowers, and I can’t wait to share them with you! Thanks to Celisia Stanton Photography, we have some great photos of bouquets, boutonnieres and one of the coolest wedding cakes I’ve seen! But let’s start with the bridal bouquet!

Dariya’s bouquet was a loose modified cascade style bouquet with a mix of Sunflowers, mini yellow Ranunculus, red Peonies, orange Cosmos, rust mini Dahlia, white Anemone, blue Forget Me Nots, yellow Astilbe, Ruscus and filler greens. I loved the different textures and the rich colors. It went so well with their venue! Dariya is local to me, so when she came to pick up the flowers, she brought along a specific ribbon that I was able to add on the spot to personalize her bouquet.

Her dapper groom had a boutonniere that was a smaller mix of flowers with Ranunculus, a Dahlia bud and some blue Forget Me Nots.

I didn’t make Dariya’s floral crown, but I wanted to show you how easy it is to mix and match. Receiving progress photos weeks ahead of your wedding allows time for purchasing matching decor, attire and other items to complete your look.

I’m so excited to show you the bridal party! Each of the bridesmaids wore a different jewel tone that went so well with the flowers and looked so great at their venue. They carried clutch bouquets with one of each of the main flowers from the bridal bouquet. The groomsmen, with their dapper bowties, wore boutonnieres with a mini rust Dahlia, yellow Ranunculus and blue Forget Me Nots.

I love this shot!

“It was a pleasure to work with Erin to customize the florals for my wedding. I feel she understood my vision so well. She did such quality work, and everything looked stunning! I’m excited to tell all my friends getting married about her services.”
— Dariya | Minnesota

Such a fun photo with her parents. Their matching boutonniere and pin on corsage matched the bouquet and worked so well with their outfits!

Here is Dariya’s awesome cake! She had an awesome custom topper with dried flowers and then she purchased loose flowers and greens to go around the base of the cake. But I just loved the two tone look of the frosting and the uniqueness of the design!

Colorful Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Spring still feels a long way off in Minnesota’s winter wonderland, so I want to share some bright, happy and colorful silk wedding flowers with you today! Amy had a VISION for her wedding florals, and I absolutely loved getting to designs so many arrangements for her July wedding. She wanted lots of colors and texture in each arrangement, and we worked closely to pick out just the right combination of flowers for the look she wanted to capture. Here are some amazing photos by Reilly Carr Photography from Amy’s big day!

Amy’s bouquet was big and awesome and so fun to design with her! Her large handtied bouquet was a mix of burgundy and pink Peonies, blue Delphinium, Billy Button, mini yellow Ranunculus, Waxflower, Baby’s Breath, burgundy Berries, Bluebell, Lilac, mini White Daisies, Fern, Ruscus and white Seeds. I love that there is so much to see in her bouquet. It has visual interest and depth from all the contrast without looking chaotic.

The bridesmaids wore these lovely pale blue dresses which made their bouquets pop even more. They carried a similar mix as the bridal with a few swaps. Their purple feature was some Delphinium instead of Lilac and we didn’t include the fern. These slight changes kept a very cohesive look without them being exact matches.

It took me a few glances to notice that the groom was wearing black and the groomsmen were wearing navy blue. Kind of like the bridesmaid having a slightly different bouquet, this is a great way to set apart your groom in a subtle way. The groom’s boutonniere incorporated all the colors from the bridal bouquet and the groomsmen had simpler bouts with a pink Cabbage Rose and Bluebell.

This next set of photos shows some arrangements that carried her color scheme and floral designs throughout their venue. Here you can see a large bouquet style arrangement that I designed for a table top. What’s cool about make this arrangement bouquet style is that Amy was able to get the flowers ahead of time and pick out a vase that she liked and was the right scale and look for the space. Plus we didn’t have to worry about glass breaking in transit.

Below shows the cake flowers that Amy ordered as a loose mix. I gave her a variety of flowers and greenery that matched her bouquet and her baker placed those items on and around the cake. She had that adorable custom topper so she didn’t need a finished arrangement for that. It’s a great option if you want some florals for your cake but maybe don’t know how you want them placed on the cake.

Sweetheart tables are a lovely way to be a part of the reception but also give you a moment to breath and connect with each other during dinner. I designed a swag for the sweetheart table that draped over the front edge a little bit and was custom made for the size of their table.

Whether you have a specific vision for your flowers or you are just starting to figure out what you love, custom silk wedding flowers offer a lot of options, can be customized for your budget and style and can be done and checked off your list weeks, or even months ahead of time!

Blue and Coral Beach Theme Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Happy New Year! We are just heading into the long winter months here in Minnesota, and I needed a bright spot today. So I’m sharing an awesome beach themed wedding to remind me that summer will be here, eventually! The great thing about beach theme weddings is that the colors are usually bright and happy, the setting is always amazing, and it’s so fun to see less traditional settings for a wedding. This is why I’m excited to share Brandy’s blue and coral beach theme silk wedding flowers with you today! Her wedding took place in Oregon, and she had these amazing photos taken on Rockaway Beach. I guess I have a new addition to my list of “hope to visit” places! Let’s take a look at her lovely custom silk wedding flowers, photographed by Amanda Brewer Portrait Photography.

Here’s our happy couple! Brandy had a vision for a modified cascade bouquet that featured Stargazer Lilies and Calla Lilies. I was able to find the perfect blue Stargazers and coral Calla Lilies. We also added in some blue Delphinium to match the bridesmaid dresses, some white Mini Daisies, beige Baby’s Breath (a nod to the sand) and then we added in some seashell accents for a well rounded beach themed bouquet.

Look at these lovely ladies! Brandy’s bridesmaids wore beautiful blue dresses that worked perfectly with the flowers. They carried round handtied bouquets that featured all the same flowers and of course some seashells for that extra special touch.

“When I first was trying to decide if I wanted to order flowers I was on the fence for a while. I had a vision of what I wanted but I couldn’t pull it together. Erin was absolutely amazing and from all my rambling messages gave me the most incredible bouquet I could have ever imagined. I can’t thank you enough!”
— Brandy | Idaho

Whether you are traveling near or far for your beach, tropical or traditional themed wedding, custom silk wedding flowers are a great option.

Light Blue, Lavender and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Kelley was an awesome bride to work with! Her order of a bridal bouquet and matching groom’s boutonniere for her wedding was fun to design, and I loved the softness of the look we came up with together! Let’s take a look at Kelley’s light blue, lavender and white silk wedding flowers in these photographs from Kerri Ann Photography!

Here’s my awesome bride Kelley! Her bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of blue Hydrangea, white Garden Roses, lavender Astilbe, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus. It was classic and also a good mix of traditional with some interesting texture thrown in there. It looked pretty good alongside her amazing dress and this awesome vintage car;)

We kept the groom’s boutonniere simple, but matching. He wore a white Garden Rose, with a piece of lavender Astilbe and a touch of greenery with matching ribbon.

Kelley provided her own bridesmaid bouquets and other floral decor. The two looks matched really well and gave an overall look that was very cohesive!

I always love a detail shot!

“We had our bridal bouquet, corsages and boutonnieres made here! They turned out amazing! We loved all the arrangements they made for us. We are so happy we went with Love is Blooming for our wedding and recommend it to everyone.”

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Here in Minnesota, we just got the first flurries of snow, but I refuse to give in to winter….yet! So today I’m sharing some lovely photos from Developing Diamonds Photography of Melissa’s fall silk wedding flowers. Melissa’s teardrop cascading bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, orange Dahlia, fall Mums in gold and orange, yellow mini Ranunculus, rust Garden Roses, burgundy Peonies, blue Astilbe and Ruscus.

Melissa wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to be a little different. Our original plan was to make them a little different in composition from the bridal bouquet. We used the same mix of flowers, but incorporated Eucalyptus instead of Ruscus and left out the blue Astilbe. The awesome part about silk flowers is that when Melissa saw the progress photos, she realized she did want a touch of blue in there, so we added in a few sprigs of Astilbe and she loved it. I know I talk about it often, but it’s pretty amazing to get a big say in the design of your flowers and to have the chance to make adjustments ahead of time is priceless!

“I got so many compliments on the flowers! Thank you so much for doing an amazing job! ”
— Melissa | Texas

Colorful Silk Wedding Flowers for an Outdoor Wedding - Reveal & Review

, ,

We’re well into fall already, but spring inspiration is already here! Today’s custom silk wedding flowers were so fun to design with the bride, Megan! She wanted a wildflower look that incorporated various varieties from Texas, Washington and Alabama. What we came up with, together, is a design that is bright, fun, whimsical and a nod to places that are special to the couple. Let’s take a look at some images from their photographer Saul with The One Awaits.

custom-bridal-bouquet-silk-wedding-flowers-wildflowers

Megan’s bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of orange Lilies, Bluebonnets, magenta Aster, Poppies in a variety of colors, magenta Waxflower, white Seeds, purple Delphinium, peach Dahlia, yellow Ranunculus, white Peonies, Eucalyptus, and some small mix greens for filler and for the cascade. Here’s an up close photo I took to give a better idea of all the varieties and textures in her bouquet.

For the bridesmaid bouquets we used the same mix of flowers, except I swapped out the white Peonies for a smaller more delicate flower-white Stephanotis. I love that the colors still pop against their patterned dresses but work with their overall color scheme and wedding themes.

“Erin was brilliant! All my flowers turned out brilliantly! They were luscious, colorful, and exactly what I wanted! Erin was creative in coming up with options for flowers and worked with my vision to produce beautiful flower arrangements that will last!”
— Megan | Texas

Here’s our happy couple! The groom’s boutonniere featured Bluebell, Waxflower, Poppy and greens.

If you have ideas about how to incorporate a special theme, like Megan’s places she loves, or a specific color scheme, silk wedding flowers are a great option! There is so much variety available year round and you can know what the flowers will look like all together before the big walk down the aisle.

Happy Yellow, White and Blue Silk Wedding Flowers - Review

, ,

Tori’s wedding isn’t until 2026, but girl is on her game and wanted to check things off her list! She placed her order for a happy yellow, white and blue bridal bouquet and matching groom’s boutonniere. The thing about smaller orders is, they move really quickly. I was able to get her arrangement shipped out as soon as she wanted! Let’s take a look at these happy, bright custom silk wedding flowers!

Tori’s bouquet is a mix of blue Hydrangea (to will match what her bridesmaids will wear on the big day), deep yellow Roses, white mini Daisies, white Freesia and white Baby’s Breath. Her bouquet is a cross between a round ball and a more loose handtied style bouquet. It has a nice form to it, but those little Freesia and Baby’s Breath that break from the structure make it super interesting to look at. And each flower gets its own moment! We matched the ribbon to the Hydrangea and tied it off with a classic bow.

The groom’s boutonniere was designed to match the bouquet. That yellow rose steals the show, but is complemented by a touch of blue and white. She loved the idea of yellow ribbon for him, so that’s how we finished off the look!

“Love is Blooming is the BEST place to get your silk flowers for your wedding. Erin the owner and silk florist is fantastic. She is so knowledgeable about her flowers and truly has a gift! Her attention to detail is spot on and the care she puts into her craft is evident. I highly recommend Love is Blooming for all your silk flower needs.”
— Tori | Pennsylvania

Peach, Champagne, Blue, Berry, Ivory and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Olivia’s custom silk bridal bouquet is so unique that I wasn’t even sure how to categorize it! It’s bright and fun, but it also has classic elements to it, it’s full and lush, but romantic and soft. Can you see my dilemma? Olivia worked closely with me to get her designs just right, and I love what we came up with together. While she originally gravitated toward fall colors, the more I showed her, the more she ended up liking some jewel tones with some brightness. She sent me some photos from her very talented photographer Flying Arrow Photography, so let’s take a look at what we settled on!

Olivia’s round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, dusty pink Mums, peach Cabbage Roses, berry Tea Roses, blue Delphinium, white Lilies, berry mini Ranunculus, champagne Dahlia, Fern, Olive and Ruscus greenery in a large loose bouquet. It had flower and height and texture and pops of color mixed with the neutrals. I loved it and so did she!

“Had an awesome time working with Erin! Not much of a flower girl but Erin was patient and showed us a ton of options until we were both satisfied with the outcomes. They turned out gorgeous!”

Sunflower Spotlight - Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s Thanksgiving week, and I thought it would be fun to spotlight Sunflowers! They are often a popular flower choice for fall arrangements because of their sunny color and how well they fit in with all the jewel tones. They’re also typically associated with fall (navy, burgundy, orange, emerald). If you love Sunflowers, custom silk wedding flowers are a great option to have since fresh Sunflowers are huge and not always in season. Let’s take a look at some bridal bouquets and matching bridesmaid bouquets to see a variety of ways that Sunflowers can be incorporated into different styles of bouquets.

I love this first look! It’s classic and classy with Sunflowers, white Roses, Baby’s Breath, a touch of black Skimmia Berries, mini Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in round handtied style bouquets. We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to only include Sunflowers and Baby’s Breath, but you can see how well it matches the bridal bouquet without being identical.

Bridal Bouquet

Bridesmaid Bouquet

The texture in these next bouquets are pretty awesome! There is lots of color and variety in this modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet. It includes Sunflowers, burgundy Roses and Dahlia, red Peonies, dusty blue Delphinium, Baby’s Breath, white Heather, burgundy Lamb’s Ear, Blueberries, burgundy Amaranthus, and Ruscus. This has a very classic fall vibe without having too much of the harvest fest feel.

Bridal Bouquet

Bridesmaid Bouquet

Here’s another modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet that incorporates Sunflowers, but for a very different feel! It has a some brighter tones that really allow the Sunflowers to pop! This custom silk bridal bouquet included dusty rose Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, blue Delphinium, Baby’s Breath, Fern, and Eucalyptus. It’s bright and playful but could work for a spring, summer or fall wedding! The smaller matching bouquet is actually the toss bouquet that incorporated the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet in clutch size. I added some ribbon tails for style as it got thrown to the waiting ladies.

Bridal Bouquet

Toss Bouquet

The last set of custom silk flower arrangements has a moodier vibe with darker tones but touches of brightness. The bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with burgundy Roses and Dahlia, white Garden Roses, Sunflowers with burgundy centers, Baby’s Breath, white Heather, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Seeded Eucalyptus and sage mini Ruscus. The bridesmaid bouquet used the same mix of flowers but in a handtied style with lots of greenery.

Bright and Happy Custom Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Corbin found me on his hunt for a special anniversary gift for his wife. He shared with me that they had moved recently and had to decide about keeping her “old, dried up bridal bouquet.” They ultimately decided to say goodbye to it, but his wife kept a bouquet of silk flowers from her friend’s wedding. That gave Corbin the idea to have her bouquet recreated in silk flowers. And that’s how he found me! He sent me photos of her bouquet, and I loved how bright and happy and full of texture her bouquet was. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original, featured in these photos by MLE Photo Art by Emily Wysocki.

The original bouquet was a large, loose handtied style bouquet with some draping greenery. It consisted of peach Roses, cream Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, blue Delphinium, pink Delphinium, yellow Freesia, Queen Anne’s Lace, Ruscus, Sword Eucalyptus, Gunni Eucalyptus and small filler greens.

Custom Silk Flower Cake Topper - Reveal and Review

,

Earlier this summer, Rachel’s aunt reached out to me as they were trying to get someone who could recreate a a floral cake topper. The original had been made of sugar flowers and the creator was in the UK, so there wasn’t a way to get the exact same piece. That’s where I come in! They sent me some photos of the original design and I looked through my various suppliers until I found just the right flowers and greenery to create a silk flower cake topper that was what they were looking for! Rachel was kind enough to send me a few photos by Precious Pics of her beautiful wedding cake!

Rachel’s custom cake topper had a soft yellow Rose for the center with blue Hydrangea, white mini Daisies, blue Forget-Me-Nots, yellow Craspedia (or Billy Buttons) and some touches of greenery and vines. It was dainty and also a show stopper!

“Your arrangement looked absolutely beautiful, it really made the cake! Thank you again!”

Bridal Bouquet Recreation for Daughter - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Tom reached out to me about recreating his daughter’s bridal bouquet as a very special Christmas gift. As you’ll see from the photos, the colors were pretty specific and unique, so I did some testing to make sure I could dye them the right colors. I’m happy to say it was successful! Let’s take a look at her original bouquet side-by-side with my custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers!

bridal-bouquet-recreation-gift-silk-wedding-flowers

His daughter’s bouquet was a mix of white and blue Roses, white, blue and purple Calla Lilies, Ficus greens and a branch of Cedar at the back. It was wrapped with white satin ribbon with a sheer criss-crossed ribbon over the top. It’s unique shape and color scheme really set apart this bouquet. I love that I got to recreate a bouquet in a style that I’ve never done before!

“Erin worked closely with my parents, for a Christmas gift, to recreate my bridal bouquet from my wedding in Curacao. The colors, formation, and the entire product is pretty much an exact copy. I love it and every time I look at the flowers I think back to my special day.”

Bright Beach Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Charlee reached out to me for help when the original silk bridal bouquet she ordered from a different florist didn’t live up to her expectations. While there were some elements of her purchase that she liked, it pretty much needed to be remade. I started sending her options of what I could add to it and how I could reshape it to bring her vision to life. What we ended up designing together is a stunner of a bouquet for her tropical wedding last year. Let’s take a look at the photos by Silverfox Studios of New York.

Charlee’s bouquet needed to stand out on such a big and beautiful back drop. Her modified cascade bridal bouquet was a mix of blue Hydrangea, orange Hibiscus and Orchids, flame Succulents, pink Peonies, green Hydrangea, Gloriosa lilies, yellow Roses, Cymbidium orchids, red and green Anthurium and a whole bunch of tropical foliage. She loved the idea of trailing ribbon, so we finished off the bouquet with a ribbon wrap and tails.

“Thanks for my amazing wedding bouquet; so pretty and bright, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making the time to re-do my original bouquet that I had made. You made my day very happy once I received what I imagined it to look like : ) The guests all loved my bouquet and commented that it was very beautiful, unique and stunning.”
— Charlee | New York

Charlee had ordered bridesmaid bouquets prior to working with me and I loved how she had chosen to go simple with white flowers and greenery so that their varying shades of dress colors would stand out.

She also sent me this photo of how she displays her bouquet at home. I love the branch full of shells and beach glass to go with it!

Bold and Bright Spring Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s bride, Kimberly, filled out the Free Bride’s Checklist and also included links to bouquets that had caught her eye. What I noticed right away were the bright colors, varying textures of the flowers and sunflowers! I got a little excited about her designs and sent her a bunch of ideas. Then, I looked at everything a second time and sent her a whole bunch more options. What we landed on is bold, bright and a little spunky. Let’s take a look at the professional wedding photos by Amy Galimore Photography

Kimberly’s bouquet was a loose and lush round handtied style bouquet with sunflowers, purple Hydrangea, magenta Cabbage Roses, orange and pink Ranunculus, blue Prunus, orange Cosmos, blue Dogwood, yellow Freesia, lavender seeds, and light green Roses. You almost have to look at it twice to see everything that’s in there!

The groom’s boutonniere was a mini Sunflower, purple Hydrangea, and pink and orange Ranunculus. We tied it off with twine to have a similar texture to the burlap that all the bouquets were wrapped with.

The lovely bridesmaids wore purple dresses and those bright tones really popped against such a rich backdrop!

“Erin did a fantastic job with the flowers for my wedding! She was quick to respond and came up with beautiful combinations! She incorporated everything I asked for and more! Highly recommend!”
— Kimberly | South Carolina

Kimberly also wanted to incorporate matching florals to the large arbor for their outdoor ceremony. She opted for two altar arrangements to attach to the sides of the arbor. The swags matched the bridal bouquet flowers on a bed of eucalyptus.
