Cinderella Inspired Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’ve done a few Disney weddings in my 19 years of business, but this might be a favorite. Okay, really they are all my favorite :) Olivia’s custom silk wedding flowers were Cinderella inspired with the pale blue and white color scheme. I love the subtlety of the theme but with some bigger, magical touches in her bridal bouquet. You’ll see what I mean when I show you these beautiful images from Southern Palm Studios.

Here’s our happily-ever-after couple! Olivia’s bouquet was a classic round handtied bridal bouquet with a mix of Cinderella blue Roses and Baby’s Breath, white Hydrangea, and Eucalyptus.

Picture perfect! In this detail shot, you can also see the rhinestone Mickey I added to the handle of the bouquet. And to the left of her bouquet, you can catch a glimpse of one of the mini bouquets the mothers carried. These small bouquets were a mix of Cinderella blue Roses, white Baby’s Breath and Eucalyptus. Simple but elegant, just like the moms!

Here’s where things got magical…a horse and carriage entrance for Olivia! Of course with a huge smile on her face!

“This company is absolutely amazing! The amount of people at my wedding who said that they thought my flowers were real the entire time was crazy! And the amazing thing is that I get to keep my bridal bouquet forever now! I would highly suggest this company for your silk flower needs!”
— Olivia | Florida

Here is their lovely wedding party! The bridesmaids carried lanterns—love that touch— and the groomsmen wore blue roses to match the dresses and the theme.

If you are curious about what it might look like for moms to carry mini bouquets, this is a great example. Looks pretty natural to me!

What an amazing fairytale day for our couple!

Burgundy, White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding feels like the perfect one to share right before Christmas! The color scheme is classic and the designs work for both a fall wedding, which is when local bride Erika walked down the aisle, or a winter wedding! Let’s take a look at these lovely photos from Agape Moments Photography to see Erika’s burgundy, white and green custom silk wedding flowers.

Here’s our awesome bridal party! The girls were in lovely burgundy dresses that popped against their beautiful natural setting with all that green and also against the white of the flowers. I really love how some of the delicate flowers in Erika’s bouquet accented the delicate lace on the bodice of her amazing dress.

Here’s a closer look at Erika’s modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet. It was composed of white Cabbage Roses, Ranunculus and Stephanotis, burgundy Dahlia and Cabbage Roses, white Seeds and mix of Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in an asymmetrical cascade. We finished it off with Antique White satin ribbon for a very bridal, but modern look.

Since the bridesmaids were in burgundy, we decided to feature all the white flowers in their bouquets and use the round handtied shape. It made for a cohesive but different look.

Erika also ordered some bulk greenery and seeds for the centerpieces she was making herself. I supplied her with bundles for each table and she was able to incorporate the greenery and seeds around her floating candles on chargers. It was a nice touch that tied everything together without needing full on floral centerpieces.

Boutonnieres and corsages used the same flowers from the bouquets to match the look over all.

“Erin is fantastic to work with! Her intake is thorough, communication is prompt and her work is absolutely gorgeous! I received many compliments on the arrangements, including how realistic they are! I will continue to refer Erin to anyone who asks!”
— Erika | Minnesota

Plum, Lilac and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Purple tones in silk wedding flowers can be bright and cheery, but they can also be moody and romantic. Today’s custom silk wedding flowers is a great example of a little bit of both! Samantha’s wedding colors included plum, lilac and ivory with her bridesmaids wearing a lovely shade of lilac/wisteria. Samantha sent me some amazing photos of her wedding day from her photographers Elena and Bogdan from Red Barn Wedding Studio.

Here’s our lovely bride, Samantha! Her cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of lilac Cabbage Roses, ivory Garden Roses, lavender Garden Roses, plum Cosmos and Tea Roses, lavender Forget-Me-Nots, and a mix of greenery.

Look how awesome the colors of the bouquets pop against the bridesmaid dresses! Their round handtied style bridesmaid bouquets had the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet.

“Erin was amazing! Everything was completely customized to how I wanted it to look and my flowers arrived in plenty of time for my wedding. We got so many compliments on the flowers and they look amazing in our photos!”
— Samantha | Illinois

I love these detail shots by Red Barn Wedding Studio! It gives a great close up look at some of the boutonnieres and corsages.

Our happy couple with huge smiles despite the rain:)

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!

Red, Peach, Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

I have been WAITING for this day to share Brandi and Troy’s STUNNING red, peach, pink and white silk wedding flowers. There is a touch of everything in these wedding florals including tropical, romantic, lush, and even a little art deco. AND WAIT TIL YOU SEE THEIR CAKE! Have I communicated my excitement enough yet? Thanks to Jennifer Juniper Photography for telling the story of Brandi and Troy’s wedding day so well!

Here’s our happy couple! They wanted everything to be packed with meaning for their big day, so I wanted to make sure the flowers were on par with everything else. Brandi’s modified cascade bouquet was a mix of peach cabbage roses, off white orchids, deep red ranunculus, peach ranunculus, red poppy, burgundy roses, red Freesia, burgundy Dahlia, bright pink roses, salmon ranunculus and rose pink Ranunculus.

What I enjoyed about looking through all these images is that everyone’s personality is so evident! They not only took into account their own personalities, but the personalities of their friends and family.

Their wedding took place at the Maitland Art Center and the setting was not only unique but just breathtakingly gorgeous. The pieces I created for the ceremony and reception sites needed to match the grandeur, and the style of our couple. Let’s take a look!

I created custom altar arrangements that incorporate a lot of the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in pieces that added some drama and color to the back drop.

Next up is the cake! Brandi sent me an inspiration photo and wanted two custom pieces to drape up and down the layers.

With such a beautiful venue, smaller centerpieces was the perfect choice! I made a few different types and Brandi had containers already picked out and ready to go. I made the centerpieces “bouquet” style, meaning they were ready to just drop in the vases!

Here’s a few more photos of our awesome couple!

Brandi shared this awesome video of Troy’s band, The Edge Effect, singing during the ceremony.

What a joy it is for me to get to be a part of the wedding of so many special couples. Are you looking for showstopping flower arrangements? Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to talk about design ideas!

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

, , ,

I am SO excited to share this moody and dreamy and lovely wedding today! Local bride, Abby, had a color palette that I’ve seen rise in popularity the last two years: Cabernet (burgundy), navy and gold. But we didn’t want to hit those head on in the custom bouquets. Instead, we featured that deep burgundy, taupe, a little touch of nude and greenery for bouquets that were lush and textured and really stood out against the cabernet bridesmaid dresses and the mens’ suits. Let’s take a look at Abby’s stunning silk wedding flowers. Photos by the very talented Katy Greseth of Capture Glory Photography. You can find her on FB @KatyGreseth or IG @katygreseth.

Here’s our happy couple! Abby worked closely with me to pick out just the right colors for her bouquet. The bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of nude and burgundy Garden Roses, taupe Garden Roses, white seeds and lots of Seeded Eucalyptus. We tied it off with some sheer, gold ribbon to give it just the smallest bit of shimmer and tie in her color scheme even more.

The groom’s boutonniere featured a burgundy Garden Rose, taupe Rose bud, some seeds and Eucalyptus. We used the same sheer gold ribbon to finish off the look.

And because this bouquet is just too pretty, here’s a few more shots of it!

“Erin was GREAT to work with! Easy to communicate with, timely with replies, and the flowers turned out beyond perfect. They photograph so well! Would highly recommend working with her.”
— Abby | Minnesota

The groomsmen had similar boutonnieres, simplified without the rose bud. It made for a cohesive and classic look.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets that incorporated one of each of the 3 colors of flowers, seeds and Eucalyptus. Even though clutch bouquets are smaller, you can use greenery to give a fuller look.

One of the many great things about silk wedding flowers is that set up is a snap. You don’t have to pay for a professional to come get things laid out perfectly and they will look great for your entire day. I wanted to show some examples of Abby’s use of silk flowers for wedding decor. Here you can see some clusters of flowers and greens aisle arrangements. These can also be hung on ribbon loops if your chairs allow.

Abby had also order two custom pieces meant to sit on top of wine barrels for the ceremony. Unfortunately, due to rain that day, they had to move things inside. But as you can see, it was a beautiful place to exchange vows and the wine barrel arrangements worked perfectly on stands next to the fireplace.

These custom pieces had a little more height and width to them than a standard bouquet, but had a flat bottom to sit on whatever surface was needed!

At your reception, I always suggest having your bouquets do double duty at your head table or somewhere else in your reception venue. Just buy vases, space them out along the head table and as each of you and your bridal party enter, drop a bouquet in the vase! It’s as easy as that!

If you love the idea of being a part of the design process for your custom wedding flowers, don’t want to be surprised the day of by substitutions, wilting flowers or tricky set up, silk wedding flowers might be a good fit!

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 1 - Reveal

, ,

A few years ago, I designed custom silk wedding flowers for Minnesota bride, Peyton. When her sister’s, Alexis’, Bridal Checklist showed up in my inbox, I was flattered and excited. Now after working with both of them, I can say with confidence that both these lovely ladies have impeccable style with their romantic and lush florals. But today, I’m SO excited to share Alexis’ custom silk wedding flowers with you! Her neutral color palette, variety of textures and the drama makes you want to keep scrolling to see more. Let’s take a look at the amazing images from Marissa Murdy Studio.

Starting off with a bang! Alexis’ bouquet was a breathtaking mix of White Cosmos, Champagne Roses, White Sophia Roses, Taupe Baby’s Breath, white Eucalyptus, white mini Ruscus, and faux Pampas grass in a Modified Cascade style bridal bouquet. We originally had incorporated some brown and orange Eucalyptus but when it came together, Alexis wasn’t feeling it so she requested a change to more whites and taupes. I’m glad she went with her gut, but it is just perfect!

The bridesmaids wore shades of Terra Cotta and with the sheen of their dresses, you can see why taking out the brown/orange Eucalyptus was a good choice. Their bouquets incorporated the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in a loose, round handtied style. The simple color scheme allowed their outfits to be the feature, but the texture really made the bouquets pop!

The guys all wore a champagne Rose, with baby’s breath with the groom’s being a little more substantial. These guys looked dapper!

Here’s the whole bridal party- such a great looking crew!

The mothers wore pin on style corsages with a champagne Rose, taupe Baby’s Breath, white mini Ruscus and a small spray of rhinestones with the ribbon. The dads wore Comos and Baby’s Breath for a cohesive look that stood out from the bridal party boutonnieres.

Don’t go anywhere, because later this week I’m going to share with you photos from the ceremony and reception and you won’t want to miss it!

Wine, Black and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Last week, I showed you Kasey’s lovely winter wedding flowers, and today, I wanted to show you how I can easily take a similar color scheme but give a very different look. Sydney’s custom silk wedding flowers incorporated almost the same color scheme as Kasey’s but as you’ll see had a style all their own. Let’s take a look at these awesome photos by Stephanie Lane Photo.

Sydney’s bridal bouquet was a dramatic modified cascade style with a mix of wine Roses, Zinnia and Dahlia, white Cosmos, Ranunculus and Anemone, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus and trailing burgundy Amaranthus to add the cascading effect. You can see what a great mix of textures and shades of wine and burgundy made it into her bouquet and we even got a touch of black with the centers of the Anemone.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquets with Zinnia, Dahlia, Amaranthus and a rose in burgundy, Anemone and Ranunculus in white and the same greenery as the bridal bouquet. Let’s take one more minute to appreciate Sydey’s stunning dress and then we can appreciate why it needed a bridal bouquet to match that high fashion!

“Our flowers were BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what I asked for (truly even better than what I imagined)! Looked so real and arranged in such a nice way :) Erin was on top of getting the flowers to us, and was very detailed in her work with us- checking in to see if her plans for the flowers fit what we wanted. Really awesome experience! Would recommend!”
— Sydney | Oklahoma

Neutral Boho Chic Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

The last few years, the Boho trend has really taken off. Of course, it can mean a lot of different things to different people, but today’s wedding is a great example of this trend! Jessica was looking for custom silk wedding flowers in a neutral color palette to complement the colors in the bridal party’s attire. Let’s take a look at her show stopping arrangements in these photos by Sweet Apple Creative!

Here’s our beautiful bride Jessica! Her dress had so much detail, and it was important that her bouquet matched in style and texture. In her round handtied style bridal bouquet, we incorporated brown and nude Garden Roses, white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white Fern, white Ruscus and Pampas Grasses.

Her groom’s suit and son’s suits were in her matching color palette and Jessica chose to feature the brown rose with white and cream accents.

I just love the softness that his velvet bowtie and pocket square bring to the look!

“Erin is absolutely amazing! I told her my vision and she executed it! She was professional, she communicated with me, she made the flower arrangements in a timely manner and she even sent me pictures along the way to make sure I liked what she had so far. I was extremely happy with my bouquet. The bouquet made my look come together. It was the icing on the cake. I definitely would recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the future!”
— Jessica | Minnesota

Jessica had one bridesmaid that I created a smaller handtied style bouquet for. It incorporated the same mix of flowers as her bouquet. It was a great accent to her beautiful bridesmaid dress!

Dusty Lavender and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s reveal and review showcase a beautiful set of dusty lavender and white silk wedding flowers that made their way to Canada! Bride Katie was repurposing the flowers I made for her sister back in 2021. She needed a custom teardrop cascade bridal bouquet to match the 4 round handtied style bridesmaid bouquets she had. She also needed an additional bridesmaid bouquet in the same style. I also designed matching boutonnieres that gave the entire bridal party a cohesive look. Katie provided me with some beautiful images from her wedding day, taken by Lacey Hill Photography.

Katie’s bouquet was a tear drop cascading style bridal bouquet with a mix of dusty lavender Peonies, cream and white Cabbage and Garden Roses, white Larkspur, Baby’s Breath, lavender Spray Roses, and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids carried the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in a loose round handtied style. The boutonnieres were white rose buds with a spray rose and greens. Matching ribbon tied everything together, literally, for a classy and timeless look for the bridal party!

“You were able to make the flowers exactly like what I had envisioned to match the rest of my decor, they held up so well (fake is the way to go), and everything was reliably on time and in good condition.

That you so much again!”
— Katie | Canada

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

Salmon, Dusty Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, , ,

Dusty blue was a hot color in 2022 and I fully expect it to stick around through 2023. You may have seen it on my blog paired with yellow, blush pink, burgundy and even lavender! Today, I get to share a pairing that you might not expect, but as you’ll soon see, it’s an amazing combo. Salmon and dusty blue for the win!

Let’s take a look at these gorgeous wedding photos from Paige’s wedding day. These were taken by the very talented Palms and Lace Photo.

Here’s our lovely bride, Paige! Her loose, round, handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of ivory Sophia Roses, white Anemone, ivory Cabbage Roses with peach centers, salmon Delphinium, white Larkspur, dusty blue Roses, Seeded and small leaf Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids wore beautiful dusty blue dresses and carried a mix of the bridal flowers in smaller clutch style bouquets. We wrapped them matching dusty blue ribbon to add a little more color.

The groom’s boutonniere incorporated both main colors while we simplified the groomsmen to have a white Anemone and a touch of the salmon Delphinium.

Now that you have all the details, enjoy these lovely images from their ceremony!

“Love is Blooming was able to give me exactly what I was looking for for my wedding! I shopped around for a while, but no florist could guarantee I could get the colors and flowers I wanted, and I wouldn’t be able to see them in advance. Love is Blooming gave me the exact colors and worked with me throughout the entire process to create what I wanted so that there would be no surprises on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend working with her!”
— Paige | Utah

Paige also added to her order some small centerpieces. We featured the Cabbage Roses, salmon Delphinium and Eucalyptus for simple and pretty pieces. She purchases vases she liked and these mini bouquets just had to be dropped in before the big day.

Thanks again to Paige for sharing her big day with us! Are you looking for a unique spin on a well loved color for your wedding color scheme? Let’s talk!

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.

Dusty Rose and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love to share all my weddings, but the soft and romantic color palettes will always have my heart! Jennifer’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of white and dusty pink flowers with a touch of greenery. I was so excited to show her a few new options I had found including the dusty pink Lilac. Those lacey little flowers added so much texture with just a kiss of color. Let’s take a look at these wonderful images by Nikki Joachim Photography to see what Jennifer and I came up with together!

Jennifer specified that she wanted a loose look to the bouquets with space between things. She decided on the round handtied style, and I made some suggestions for a full bouquet that wouldn’t mean every flower would be packed in tightly. Her bouquet consisted of champagne Roses, ivory Ranunculus, dusty pink Lilac, white seeds, Lamb's Ear, white Larkspur, ivory Garden Roses, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and small leaf Eucalyptus.

Jennifer’s bridesmaid carried a matching style bouquet, just a bit smaller. The boutonnieres combined the ivory flowers and bits of the dusty pink Lilac with greenery to match the ladies.

“Erin was easy to work with and finished the project much earlier than I expected. I just showed her a few photos of what I liked and she created something beautiful with them.”
— Jennifer | Minnesota

At the altar was a table that I designed a swag/garland combination piece for. The center was a spray of Roses, Lilac and greens with long Eucalyptus pieces trailing from both sides. It filled the table nicely without being over the top. The best part is, they were able to use at there reception site for their sweetheart table as well.

Early Fall Silk Wedding Flowers on the Mississippi River - Reveal and Review

, , ,

It’s such an honor when a friend chooses me to create their custom silk wedding flowers. And today, I get to share my friend with you! I have known Shayna and her family for over 15 years, so being asked to create flowers for her early fall wedding on the Mississippi River was a treat for me! Let’s take a look at some of the beautiful images by her very talented photographer, Nicole Krause Photography.

Shayna’s bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of lavender Cabbage Roses, blue Hydrangea and Lilacs, white Garden Roses and Lily of the Valley and Lavender. Several of the flowers were chosen because of special people in the family and I thought that was such a sweet touch.

Shayna’s bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets with a mix of the bridal flowers. The boutonnieres for the bridal party included Roses, Lavender and Hydrangea in simple styles.

“Erin knew exactly what I wanted when I didn’t know! She is so kind, and I am so happy she made my wedding flowers and bridal bouquet. Thank you, Erin!”
— Shayna | Minnesota

The setting for the ceremony and reception were so naturally beautiful and they had this awesome arch made for their ceremony. I created two altar arrangements to complement the wedding colors and flowers without taking away from the beauty of the surroundings.

Shayna designed her own table decor and purchased bulk quantities of the flowers to arrange in jars with fairy lights and on the tables. It was the perfect touch of color and florals to tie everything together!

A big thanks to Shayna for trusting me to create her custom silk wedding flowers for her special day.

I’m excited to get to share another beautiful purple themed wedding with you today. Kennedy contacted me looking for custom silk wedding flowers with a variety of shades of purple and white flowers. I made some flower suggestions based on the inspiration photos she sent me and we collaborated on the composition of the bouquets until everything was just right.

Here’s our beautiful bride, Kennedy! Her bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of white Garden Roses, lavender Cabbage Roses, lavender gray Peonies, Lavender, plum Cosmos, lavender Freesia, white Heather and seeds and Ruscus.

Kennedy really liked the look of the boutonnieres being made of a mix of smaller, more delicate flowers. I played around with the combinations to make sure we included her colors, but kept them unique.

The bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers to compliment Kennedy’s bouquet and their dresses.

“The flowers turned out better than I could have imagined ! So easy to put the order together with what I wanted and even make simple changes throughout.”

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.

“We love our florals! ...I am speechless! They’re beautiful! ”

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.

Dusty Blue and Sunflowers in Custom Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Dusty blue is a hot color right now for silk bridal bouquets, and I’ve mixed it with everything from blush, to burgundy, to gold, to peach! The wedding I’m sharing with you today was a gorgeous outdoor wedding in Florida that was full of texture and color and just so lovely. Take a look at these images from Imely Photography and Video.

Katie’s gorgeous modified cascading silk bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, dusty blue Roses, ivory mini Cabbage Roses, yellow Astilbe, Queen Anne’s Lace, Fern and Ficus greenery. She wanted some pearl accent so we went with some larger scale pearl picks to just add that little bit of glam to her bouquet. A lovely bouquet for a beautiful bride!

The two bridesmaid bouquets were round handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet. We left the pearls out so they were just special to Katie’s bouquet.

Katie had the most amazing venue for her big day. This awesome entryway to the ceremony site had window boxes on either side of the doors. I created small garlands to lay in there with a few of the feature flowers and greenery for accent.

The arbor was a rustic wood piece that I created big, lush corner swag and a smaller vertical piece for the side. Peep those palms leaves in the back-so unique!

Katie had hanging jars for the ends of each row of benches. I created small bouquets for each one and all she had to do was drop it in the jars! And what’s great about pieces like this is that you can use them elsewhere in your décor-scroll down to see how they transferred seamlessly to her reception tables.

“I found Erin online looking for wedding flowers. Sunflowers with blue flowers were very rare to find but I ended up coming across a beautiful bouquet that was the colors I wanted but not exactly what I was looking for. When id read more through her page I had reached out and asked for the specifics. I wanted blue flowers and sunflowers with a very small amount of white but more added greenery and if possible somehow added accents of lace and pearls. Erin absolutely hit exactly what i wanted out of the park. She consulted with me while they were being done to make sure i was getting exactly what i wanted (actually better than i ever could have expected) and they came well before the wedding, so no nervous bride! I also did all the decorating for my wedding and the ties on these flowers and the easy drop ins for my mason jars made for an easy experience. I love that i get to keep these beautiful pieces as well and use them now as décor for my home as we couldn’t give them up and found a way to insert them into our lives daily. The fact that they are so tastefully done and not over the top made that easy for us as well. The price was also perfect and well worth it! I wouldn’t change one thing about how beautiful her flowers tied our wedding together! Thank you Erin for such an amazing and easy experience.”

The cake flowers were small clusters of Sunflowers, dusty blue Roses and accent flowers, Queen Anne’s Lace and greenery. Katie also incorporated some of her own décor that all looked so good together!

Coral and Teal Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Courtney reached out to me about creating custom silk wedding flowers with a slightly tropical vibe. Her colors were coral and teal and I used some sandier/taupe tones mixed in with white roses and greenery. Let’s take a look at some lovely images from Monica Mize Photography!

Courtney picked out a teardrop cascade shape for her bouquet. We filled it with Roses, Peonies, Ranunculus, mini Orchids, Seeded Eucalyptus and a spiky Succulent. It kind of reminded me of a Sea Anemone and was the perfect mix of mauve/peach for her bouquet!

What a great looking group! Courtney’s bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets that were mostly coral and white with a pop of teal with a large Peony in the center. It kept everything cohesive and looked perfect with their dresses. Courtney also had a maid of honor wearing a dustier pink dress. At first we only had brighter coral flowers mixed in with the white and teal but then decided to add a more muted tone with some Toast Roses and it really helped blend Courtney’s bouquet with both color of bridesmaid dresses.

Courtney wanted all three colors incorporated into the boutonnieres so we used a white rose bud as the base with a few small coral orchids and a touch of teal accent flowers. Everyone matched!
