White and Blush Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s bridal bouquet recreation reveal is a timeless and classic look! Derik sent me some lovely photos of his wife’s bouquet - a mix of white and blush Garden and Spray Roses and white Calla Lilies in a handtied style - to see if I could recreate her bouquet in silk wedding flowers. The good news is, I could! Let’s take a look at the recreation and the original!

Derik shared with me that his wife’s bouquet was a mix of white flowers with touches of blush, so I made sure to include those hints of color that you can see in the original bouquet.

“Erin was very determined to get our wedding bouquet recreation correct. It turned out amazing and almost an exact duplicate of our original. Thank you so much and I would highly recommend!”

Mauve, Terra Cotta, Nude, Champagne, Blush and Berry Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

If you are looking for a unique, non pink, variety of colors palette that stands out, today is the wedding for you! Heather reached out to me with a lovely color palette of mauve, terra cotta, nude, sage, champagne, and navy. We ended up adding in some peach and blush to blend between the bolder tones. Another unique feature is that Heather really wanted to include Bunny tails, a preserved accent that added some softness and texture to the arrangements. Let’s take a look at Heather’s custom silk wedding flowers, photographed by Melissa McKean Photography!

Heather’s bouquet was a modified cascade style based on an inspiration photo that had just a slight cascade to it. The design included: a mix of standard Eucalyptus, Bunny Tails, nude Roses, champagne Peonies, berry Tea roses, blush Roses, toast Roses, mauve Peonies, terra cotta Roses and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller handtied style bouquets based on an inspiration photo and were simplified to include a terra cotta Rose, nude Rose, toast Roses, berry Tea Rose, mauve Peony, Bunny Tails and both kinds of eucalyptus.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Erin from Love is Blooming for my wedding flowers, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire experience. From start to finish, Erin demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and a genuine commitment to making my floral vision come to life. One of the standout qualities of Erin’s service was her consistent communication throughout the entire process. At every stage, she provided timely updates, ensuring I was involved in the decision-making process. This level of communication not only put me at ease but also made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The care Erin took in packaging each arrangement was evident from the moment I received them. Every bouquet, greenery strand, boutonniere, and corsage was meticulously prepared and arrived in perfect condition. It was evident that Erin takes great pride in her work, and her attention to detail truly set her apart. Working with Erin was an absolute breeze. She was not only professional but also personable, making the collaboration feel more like a partnership. She listened attentively to my ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and translated my vision into stunning floral arrangements that exceeded my expectations. The bridal bouquet, bridesmaids’ bouquets, greenery centerpieces, boutonnieres, and the mother of the bride/groom corsages were beautiful. The silk flowers were vibrant and arranged with an artistic touch that added an extra layer of elegance to my wedding. I highly recommend Erin from Love is Blooming to anyone in search of a talented and dedicated silk florist. Her commitment to excellent communication, careful packaging, and outstanding creativity made my wedding floral experience unforgettable. Erin’s expertise and friendly demeanor made her a joy to work with, and I am truly grateful for the beautiful contribution she made to my special day.”

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.”

White and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

My brides are just the best and send me such amazing photos of their wedding days. Let’s take a look at Melanie’s white and blush custom silk wedding flowers today. Her photographer is the very talented Northern Honey Photography. If you are a Minnesotan and need someone amazing for your wedding day, get in touch with them for your photography needs!

Look at this great looking couple! Melanie was so easy to work with and had a clear vision of her flowers. We stuck with all white for her cascading bridal bouquet. It included Cabbage Roses, Garden Roses, Larkspur, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus. It was such a classic style!

Her bridesmaids wore dusty blue and she wanted a touch of blush pink, so we added a couple pink roses into their round handtied bouquets. The groomsmen wore matching blue pink roses for their boutonnieres.

“If you are looking for wedding flowers, stop now because you have found your girl! Erin is SERIOUSLY amazing! I showed her my inspiration pictures, and she recreated the exact bouquets I was thinking of! The bouquets looked so real that my mother-in-law even put her corsage in the fridge! She had no idea they weren’t real. The flowers stayed in perfect condition the whole day, and let me tell you, it was super windy. All the bridal party looked great! The flowers used were great quality. Erin is also so flexible and responds quickly! I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. I wish I could give 10/5 stars! I am so happy and grateful for Love Is Blooming!”
— Melanie | Minnesota

This next photo is the perfect way to show you what I always suggest to save money in your decor budget. Line your head table with vases and as each couple gets called in to the reception venue, have your bridesmaids drop their bouquet in one of the vases along the table. Voila! Instant decor:)

Thanks again to Melanie for being a dream to work with and for sharing these beautiful photos with me. If you are looking for custom wedding flowers that don’t cost a fortune and will photograph perfectly for your entire wedding day, then silk flowers might be just what you are looking for!

Cabernet, Blush, and Cream Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Bride Stephanie was a dream to work with last year and she was kind enough to send me some images from her big day! Let’s take a look at these photos of her custom silk bridal bouquet from Marquee Studio.

Stephanie’s bouquet was a mix of blush and wine Peonies, pinkish burgundy Dahlia, cream Dahlia and lots of Eucalyptus and Lamb’s Ear. It was a modified cascade style bouquet that was full, but not overpowering.

I love this picture of the guys! They are holding the bridesmaid bouquets that were the same mix as the bridal bouquet, just in smaller handtied style bouquets.

“A very delayed review from our winter wedding because I’ve been so overwhelmed by how beautifully everything turned out and I couldn’t pick favorite photos! Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was the best of both worlds - getting to lean on the expertise of a florist, with the longevity and lower stress (and less price fluctuation) of faux florals. She did an amazing job matching the bridesmaids dress color (azazie cabernet), and suggesting alternate colors for the groomsmen boutonnieres when we didn’t want to use all white flowers. Flowers arrived early and shipped well! Would absolutely recommend!”
— Stephanie | New Jersey

I love the look of joy on Stephanie’s face here! Thanks again to another wonderful client and for the photos from Marquee Studio.

Blush and White Tropical Destination Wedding Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Heather reached out to me with a few inspiration photos and a truly blushing bride color palette for her destination wedding. Her vibe was beachy, romantic, soft and a touch of glamour. She requested that the bouquet was small to make travel easier, but she didn’t want to loose any drama. I sent a few flower ideas and got to work on a custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers.

I went with an asymmetrical design for the shape with a more subtle draping to the bouquet. I incorporated white and nude pink Garden Roses, white Baby’s Breath, white Phalaenopsis Orchids and blush pink Anthurium.

“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

Blush and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Spring has sprung here in Minnesota, but the requests for burgundy flowers keep coming! So, I thought I’d share another gorgeous set of photos of silk bridal bouquets and wedding flowers sent in by a bride. Photos are by the very talented Jamie Dee!

This modified cascading bridal bouquet in custom silk wedding flowers was a mix of burgundy Dahlia, Roses and Amaranthus, blush pink Roses, white Roses, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

This bridal party looked amazingly classic in black tuxes and bridesmaid dresses. The dresses, especially, allowed those bouquets to really stand out!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of 3 burgundy Roses and a single white Rose with lots of Seeded Eucalyptus in a round handtied style.

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.

Lavender, Blush and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers-Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’ve known Lexi and her family for about 18 years and my husband’s family has known them even longer. I felt incredibly honored to be asked to do silk wedding flowers and her bridal bouquet for her and Austin’s August wedding. Their color scheme was lavender, blush, dusty blue and ivory with pops of greenery. I went a little overboard with sharing their photos, but you’ll see really quickly why. These amazing images, provided by Cameron and Tia, were so fun to scroll through! Check them out if you are in the Minneapolis area!

Here’s our lovely couple Lexi and Austin, and they are clearly in love!

Lexi’s bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender Cabbage Roses, blush Peonies, purple Lilac, Baby’s Breath, ivory Roses, Lavender greenery, dusty blue Thistle and Eucalyptus in a teardrop cascade style bouquet. This bouquet was extra special because Lexi was able to give me a piece from her Mom’s and Grandma’s wedding dresses to wrap the handle of her bouquet.

The bridesmaid bouquets were round handtied style with the same flowers as the bridal bouquet. Lexi also ordered some small, loose flowers for her stylist to put in, the day of the wedding.

The wedding and reception took place at Hidden Meadow and Barn in Pepin, Wisconsin. The ceremony site had this amazing and huge arch. I created 2 large swags and a smaller piece to match the scale of the structure.

“Erin was so amazing to work with! I had no idea what I was doing, but she made sure I had all the details necessary for my wedding flowers to make my wedding absolutely beautiful! She had great communication throughout the entire wedding planning process and listened to any feedback I had about my flowers to make sure they were exactly what I wanted. Thank you Erin!”
— Alexi | Wisconsin

The arch pieces did double-duty the day of the wedding and after the ceremony were moved to the reception area to decorate this beautiful fireplace.

Lexi didn’t shy away from a little DIY project. She sourced the garlands and vases for the tables and ordered loose stems from me so the whole look was cohesive.

I love this shot of their elegant cake with a custom topper. For this design, Lexi ordered loose flowers to be placed on the cake by the baker. I handed them over to, none other than my Mother-in-Law, designer and baker of this delicious and beautiful wedding cake. If you are in the Minneapolis area, be sure and check out Cakes For Your Occasions. Trust me when I say that every flavor and frosting is delicious, because you know I’ve tried them all;)

Thanks again to Lexi and Austin for trusting me to bring their wedding flower vision to life! If you have a wedding coming up and want to talk flower ideas, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Silk Bridesmaid Bouquets in White and Blush

,

These cute little clutch bridesmaid bouquets came from a local bride who was keeping things simple. She was doing a fresh flower bouquet for herself, but wanted silk bridesmaid bouquets. She sent me inspiration photo, I sent some suggestions back to her and VOILA!

Her colors were white and blush, so used a single blush rose and white roses along with some Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. Her original inspiration photo didn’t have it, but I thought they needed a little texture so had suggested some smaller mixed greens and blush seeds to give it depth and interest.

Whether you need just a single bouquet or alllllll the flowers, silk wedding flowers are a great option. You get custom designs and high end looks without the high end price. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today to get a free quote!

Destination Wedding- Tropical Silk Bouquet in Soft Tones

, , ,

I’ve done a few tropical weddings with silk flowers that have been more out of the box (remember Candace?) and I gotta say, I love doing it! This bridal bouquet needed to be soft, romantic, textural, but appropriate for a destination beach wedding. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Her bouquet was a mix of peonies in ivory, Scabiosa pods, green Amaranthus, fern, ivory Spray Roses, white mini Fern, grasses, blush seeds, Orchid buds, twigs and finished off with Chardonnay satin ribbon. This modified cascade style bouquet is a more modern take on a tropical bouquet but with all the interest that comes along with traditionally tropical flowers. Sure, we don’t have the fuchsia orchids or big leafy greens, but this bouquet certainly belongs on the beach!

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, , ,

Feel free to scroll down to see the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages because they are pretty great. But, please, take a minute and feast your eyes on this altar arrangement! This might be the biggest, baddest silk wedding flower arrangement I’ve ever done. It was almost 4 feet wide and over 2 feet tall, plus the custom garlands for both sides. This mix of burgundy Dahlia and Peonies, blush Roses and Peonies, white Dogwood and Roses, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus was designing specifically for a fireplace mantel. And since I happen to have my very own fireplace mantel, I had the perfect place to model it!

So maybe you don’t have the need for a larger-than-life custom altar arrangement, but you are interested in custom silk wedding flowers and bouquets. These next photos should do the trick.

Peyton’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with most of the flowers you see above in a soft, romantic look.

The bridesmaid bouquets had just a hint of blush and burgundy in a round handtied style.

custom-silk-bridal-bouquet-wedding-flower-arrangements-boutonnieres-corsages

The boutonnieres and corsages were a variety of burgundy, blush, white and greenery. You can see below that all your personal flowers come labeled, making it super easy for whomever is doing the distribution to get them pinned to the correct person.

Combining Inspiration Photos for the Perfect Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet

, , ,

I’m not going to let my head get too big here, but it’s pretty fun when I ask for inspiration photos and brides send me photos of my own work. In this case, the bride sent me photos of Haley’s champagne, ivory and gray silk wedding flowers and another more intricate bridal bouquet (recreation) and asked me to combine the two styles and designs into one romantic look. Challenge accepted!

This modified cascade style bridal bouquet incorporated a similar color scheme as the first bouquet with some of the same flowers and berries and some of the daintiness and smaller elements of the second bouquet.

The bouquet was made with blush centered Cabbage Roses, ivory Garden Roses, gray Berries, blush pink Calla Lilies, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, blush Heather, Lamb’s Ear and some mixed greens tucked in. The ever popular Antique White ribbon finished off this classy bouquet with partially wrapped stems.

The groom’s boutonniere was a nice complement to the bridal bouquet with a single Calla Lily, blush Heather, gray berries, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

Though this was for a small wedding, she also wanted some cake flowers for her two tier cake. I designed three different flower clusters that would give her baker some flexibility in placement.

Whether your wedding is big or small, silk wedding flowers allow flexibility, are budget friendly and they are just so darn pretty! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote for your custom silk wedding flowers.

Blush and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers with Custom Dog Collar

, , ,

It’s fun (and flattering) when brides see one of my bouquets and use it as the inspiration photo for their own custom silk wedding flowers. We had talked through a few ideas, but when bride Tammy saw these bouquets, she knew what direction she wanted her designs to go.

Her colors were blush and ivory and she wanted to make sure the flowers didn’t get too pink but rather leaned towards the peach side of blush. I gave a few options, but I ended up experimenting with custom dyeing some flowers and we nailed it on the color. Take a look at the designs we came up with together.

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with blush Cabbage Roses, ivory with blush center Dahlia, ivory Garden Roses, blush Heather and lots of Lamb’s Ear. Soft, romantic-all the things you want in a bridal bouquet!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same flowers in a round handtied style with Antique White ribbon, the same color we used on the bridal bouquet. It’s one of my favorite colors because it goes with everything (including white) and is a classic, clean look that blends in with every style and will never look outdated.

The boutonnieres were a simple mix of ivory Roses and some blush accents with Lamb’s Ear.

This was a first for me: a custom floral dog collar! Her dog is actually much smaller than my dog, Hoover, so I needed to use smaller scale flowers that still looked similar to what was in the bouquet. This wired floral collar is a mix of ivory and peach Ranunculus because they are similar shape to Cabbage Roses. I also included a few bits of blush Heather and some small sprigs of Queen Anne’s Lace to go with the Lamb’s Ear. Cute, right?!

*Almost* Valentine's Day Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

You might think it’s weird to be talking about Valentine’s Day in May, but there’s Christmas in July, so why not? This week, I want to share with you two different sets of silk weddings flowers and bridal bouquets. Today, I’m sharing a wedding that was almost on Valentine’s Day (the 13th) and, a little later this week, one that was actually on Valentine’s Day. Both were pretty, both were unique, both incorporated those classic colors without being cliche’.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of Anemone, Cabbage Roses, Mums, Roses, Amaranthus, Queen Anne’s Lace, with some dusty greenery and Seeded Eucalyptus. This bouquet is a great example if you aren’t sure if you want a traditional tear drop cascade or a modified cascade. This one probably lands right between the two, though I don’t plan to make a third category of cascades. It has the element of a teardrop with a more defined linear shape, but not the tight composition that traditional teardrops usually have. But on the other hand, it doesn’t have quite the asymmetrical, branchier feel that a true modified cascade has. Perhaps this is the happy medium!

The matching groom’s boutonniere was a smaller Cabbage Rose in burgundy with a tiny bit of the blush accent and some dusty greenery. You can see that the stem was wrapped in burlap which matched the bridal bouquet. A cute complement!

Check back later this week to see another way to do Valentine’s Day wedding flowers that stay on theme, without being on theme if you know what I mean;)

Shades of Pink: Raspberry, Dusty Rose and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Sarah sent over several inspiration photos with her quote request. Most of them had all white/cream flowers with a hint of blush that would have been beautiful against her bridesmaids dusty blue gowns. But she couldn’t quite decide on a style until just the right inspiration photo came along. Instead of just a hint of blush we amped up the pink factor and included some raspberry, dusty rose, blush, and ivory with a variety of Eucalyptus in more of the dusty green and blue tones. Take a look at these custom silk wedding flowers!

The bouquets were all a round handtied style with the bridesmaid bouquets made as smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. They all included mini raspberry Cabbage Roses, dusty pink Curled Roses, ivory Garden Roses, blush Tea Roses, blush seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus, and Willow.

The boutonnieres incorporated her main colors and greenery and the pin on corsages were mainly ivory with hints of blush seeds.

If you have some inspiration photos but you haven’t quite landed on an exact design, send them my way and let’s talk about how to combine your favorite looks for a truly custom set of silk wedding flowers.

Burgundy, Blush, and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

It’s still March, and I’m still getting a ton of requests for Burgundy themed custom wedding flowers. Here’s another great example of incorporating Burgundy into silk wedding flowers. This color combo of dusty blue, blush pink, sage green and burgundy is a great example of using burgundy without making the arrangements all dark and moody. These feel light and bright, and that pop of jewel tone adds a nice surprise to these bouquets.

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with blush pink Roses, burgundy Dahlia, ivory Spray Roses, dusty blue Thistle, blush pink Seeds and two kinds of Eucalyptus.

The Maid of Honor bouquet was pared down to have a single burgundy Dahlia, blush Roses, dusty blue Thistle and Eucalyptus. The bridesmaid bouquets (see below) were all the same, but without the burgundy Dahlia. These designs kept everything feeling sames-ies but let the bridal bouquet stand out a little from the rest.

Here’s the cute little toss bouquet that was a mini version of the bridal bouquet.

The boutonnieres and corsages used the same flowers as the bouquets.

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.

Burgundy and Blush Fall Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

One interesting thing I encountered in 2020 was having someone order custom silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquets on behalf of the bride! Mothers, sisters, even friends have been so kind and helpful in taking this off the plate of their bride-to-be. This year has been a handful and having someone able to do that for you must be such a gift!

Here’s just one of those orders inspired by photos sent to me by the friend of the bride. It’s once again, a popular color combo from 2020: burgundy and blush for fall silk wedding flowers!

The bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Peonies and Roses, blush Roses, ivory Ranunculus and Roses and a fun mix of greens that incorporated both brighter greens and dustier greens.

The bridesmaid bouquets were the same round hand tied style with just a single burgundy Peony, blush Roses, ivory Ranunculus and Roses and mixed greens.

We kept the boutonnieres simple with Roses and greenery and just a hint of blush in the Groom’s boutonniere. The pin on corsages were a single open ivory Rose with the same hint of blush and some Greenery. Everything was finished off with some Champagne colored ribbon that blended the blush and the ivory so nicely and gave it a classy color palette for her fall wedding.

Are you ordering for a friend, your sister or daughter? Custom silk wedding flowers make it incredibly easy to see flower ideas, watch the design process happen and make sure your bride-to-be gets exactly what she’s hoping for. Contact me today for more details!
