Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , , ,

Over the last 20 years of business, I have worked some amazing clients, including many moms! Today is an example of how mom Celeste did the footwork to communicate with me on behalf of her daughter, Madyson, to come up with Madyson’s dream custom silk wedding flowers! Celeste did a great job finding out what Madyson wanted in her wedding flowers and then communicating those wishes to me. I was able to send options and ideas that got passed along. And while having go-between has the risk of something getting lost in translation, Celeste was so great and it all went flawlessly! I say all this to encourage those moms, sisters, maids of honor or grooms who have been tasked with making arrangements on behalf of someone else-we got this!

Now let’s take a look at some beautiful shots from two very talented photographers! Payton Boyd Photography captured Madyson’s beautiful bridal portraits and you can find her @paytonboydphotography on Instagram. Taylor Hart Photography was there for the big day. You can also find her at @taylorhartphoto on Instagram.

Here’s our lovely bride, Madyson, in her bridal portraits by @paytonboydphotography. She had seen this blog post from a few years ago and loved the arrangements and with a few tweaks I recreated the look for her. Her cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy and orange Dahlia, ivory Hydrangea, blueberries, burgundy Lamb's Ear, Seeded Eucalyptus, Sage Fern, and frosted sage Greenery. It was full and textural and perfect for a fall wedding!

I wanted to feature their main colors in the boutonnieres, but the Dahlia were too large for a lapel. I found a matching orange Rose and added in some blueberries, burgundy Lambs’ ear and sage greenery for this classic rose boutonniere.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets with one stem of each of the featured bridal flowers and a small mix of the greenery. One of Madyson’s main colors was teal and her bouquets looked great for an overall jewel themed look!

When I had finished up all the bouquets and boutonnieres, I sent over the final photos to Celeste to get approval from Madyson. Celeste asked me about altar arrangements for the ceremony arch. I came up designs that matched the bouquets, and we added those two pieces to the order before shipping and final invoicing. One of the perks of custom silk wedding flowers is that you know what you are getting ahead of time. Having your flowers done and ready for you weeks, or months, in advance gives me time to take care of any last minute additions.

“Took a chance on this vendor and couldn’t have been happier with the product. I’m in Louisiana and shipping and communication during the process made this process super easy! The flowers were beautiful and very high quality. Also, you won’t be able to beat her prices. We got so many compliments on the flowers. I would definitely use Love is Blooming again!”
— Celeste | Louisiana

Navy, Sapphire Blue and Gray Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Working with silk wedding flowers gives me continual opportunities to be creative, not just with shapes of bouquets, but with their composition! Sometimes brides love a bouquet they’ve seen so much, they want an exact copy. But what I’ve found to be true more often is that brides want their silk wedding flowers to have a custom element, something they haven’t seen before. When Chumani reached out to me for her navy, Sapphire blue and gray color scheme, I was excited to present some options to her for a truly custom combination. Here are some photos of her arrangements taken by the very talented Mariah Joy Photography!

The bridal bouquet was a classic tear drop cascade shape with a mix of white Phalaenopsis orchids, ivory Cabbage Roses, navy Ranunculus, sapphire blue Roses, blue Anemone, Blueberries, blue/gray Heather and Lamb’s Ear.

The groom’s boutonniere was a sapphire blue Rose, white Orchid, Heather and Lamb’s ear.

Chumani ordered boutonnieres and corsages for all her loved ones and worked with me to decide who wears which color vs. a mix of her colors. I loved how thoughtful she was in making those decisions!

“My bouquet was absolutely beautiful and in the colors I wanted. They look like the real thing and love that I’ll get to keep them forever.”
— Chumani | Minnesota

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.”

Silk Bridal Bouquet in Purple - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today, I get to share with you a truly custom silk bridal bouquet! Sarah contacted me about creating a custom bridal bouquet for her to match the bridesmaid bouquets she already had. I was able to make some suggestions that matched closely and also included some unique elements that would make her bouquet stand out, but also work with what she had.

Sarah’s silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round handtied that was full of beautiful texture and colors. 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.

“Erin was wonderful to work with. I was afraid to buy faux flowers online and not get to see the quality of them. I did not want the “fake flower” look. I sent over some bouquets I liked and what I already had. Erin was wonderful with giving advice, listening to my likes and dislikes and sending pictures of ones she put together quickly without charging additional to do so. Her communication was top notch. She responded so fast and in a timely manner. She had it put together and shipped so fast. I absolutely love it and it doesn’t give off that “fake look”. I am super satisfied and definitely recommend. ”
— Sarah | Ohio

Sarah sent me this photo of her bouquet and one of the bridesmaid bouquets next to each other so you can see how well they work together.

Burgundy, Blush, and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Last week, I shared with you Jenna’s wedding flowers, coordinated by her sister Emily. This week, I want to share with you Hannah’s wedding flowers, coordinated by her mother Deborah. I seriously work with the nicest people, and Deborah is right at the top of the list. She provided me with inspiration photos for her bridal bouquet, feedback from Hannah, and coordinated delivery. Deborah was a great communicator and made my job so easy! Let’s take a look at Hannah’s custom silk wedding flowers!

The bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style of burgundy Peonies and Mums, blush Garden and Tea Roses, white Baby’s Breath, preserved burgundy Pine sprigs, green Seeds and Seeded Eucalyptus with burgundy ribbon wrap and blush pink ribbon tails.

“My daughter was finishing her senior year of college and really had no idea of flower design other than she wanted fake flowers. I was disappointed she wasn’t going for real ones, but I started researching for her and came across Erin’s site, Love is Blooming. After looking at ideas for color and style, I sent the ideas to my daughter to choose what she liked. Then I contacted Erin and shared with her Hannah’s choices. Erin was very friendly and so easy to work with her. The finished product was so beyond what I had expected, and I was beyond thrilled at the gorgeous results. From the boutonnières to the wrist corsages to the bouquets for the bridal party, every one of them looked real and so very beautiful that I was brought to tears. I highly recommend Erin and her high quality of work You will not be disappointed.”
— Deborah | Indiana

The bridesmaid bouquets were a round handtied style with a different mix of flowers. It included blue Tea Roses, a navy Ranunculus, burgundy Thistle, Blueberries, white Ranunculus, burgundy Roses and Mums, Seeded Eucalyptus, burgundy Preserved Pine, and Lamb’s Ear. I love how the mix of flowers is so different from the bridal bouquet, and yet they go together perfectly!

Deborah decided to add on a few more items later including this cute little toss bouquet. I chose a few of the flowers from the bridal bouquet to mix together for a clutch size toss bouquet.
