Coral and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

I have a really pretty coral and white bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers to show you today! It’s the perfect bouquet for this lovely spring we are finally experiencing! Keign reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet and was hoping to surprise her with this meaningful gift. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original in the awesome photos from Photography by Brogan.

This stunning bouquet was a mix of coral and white Ranunculus, white Cosmos, white Spray Roses, coral Cabbage Roses and a touch of Ruscus. I loved the unique shape of this bouquet! It was handtied style but a more linear shape than the more traditional round shape. It was finished up with a raw edge silk ribbon in a lovely peachy-pink color.

“Absolutely amazing recreation! Erin did a fantastic job, my wife was overjoyed with the recreation!”
— Keign | Washington

Thanks again to Keign for letting me share his Valentine’s Day surprise for his wife with this custom silk bridal bouquet recreation. If you have a special occasion coming up and are looking for the perfect gift, check out my page for more information!

Lavender, Purple, Iovry and Red Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

It’s been cold here in Minnesota, so today I’m sharing Joanna’s lavender, purple, ivory and red silk wedding flowers to help bring some warm and happy feelings! Joanna worked with me to find the right mix of flowers for her custom silk wedding flowers. She liked the mix of a softer lavender purple along with a deeper plum purple. We added in some ivory to give it that classic wedding feel and of course that pop of red that makes me smile. Let’s take a look at what Joanna and I designed together in these photos from Brayhan Alvarado with B&A Photography.

Joann’as bouquet was a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of mix of red, ivory, lavender and wisteria Roses, ivory Baby's Breath, Lavender, plum Mums, light lavender Mini Peonies, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

“I had a great experience working with Erin! She was extremely professional and helpful when it came to picking the flowers for my wedding. The pictures she sent really helped me visualize everything. I got lots of compliments!!”

Burgundy, Navy, Dusty Blue, Orange and Sage Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Mackenzie’s custom silk wedding flowers were a highlight for me this year. I loved her theme colors, I loved the flowers she chose, and I loved how they all came together for a very unique look. One thing she mentioned early on is that she did not like Roses, but as you’ll see from her photos by Simply Hunny Co., we didn’t miss out on anything by not including them. Let’s take a look!

Here’s our amazing couple! Mackenzie’s bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with light blue Hydrangea, white Anemone, dusty blue Dogwood, orange Dahlia, blue Magnolia, burgundy Peony, Willow Eucalyptus, Lamb's Ear, Orange Greenery, and Fern. It was big and bad and awesome! And here’s a great look at the groom’s boutonniere—Anemone, Dogwood, Dahlia bud, Lamb’s Ear and

The bridesmaids carried a larger clutch style bouquet that featured one Magnolia, Dahlia, and Peony, Anemone, Dogwood, and the same mix of greenery. It matched her bouquet but was different enough for her’s to stand out even more.

We decided that the groomsmen bouts would match the bridesmaid dress colors, so we featured the blue Dogwood with greenery and I think it was a great look!

Let’s not forget about the littlest ladies! Her flower girls had these pretty little flower crowns that featured a cluster of matching flowers at the front with a ring of white Baby’s Breath all around.

I had to double check my notes to see if I had created a swag for the head table when she sent me this photo. But these are just her bouquets lined up, doing double decor duty! Which is a great reminder to make your flowers work for you!

“Loved working with Erin! She’s super responsive, easy to work with, and has tons of great ideas and suggestions if you have a vision but need help bringing it all together!”
— Mackenzie | Minnesota

Short Turn Around, Dream Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Have you ever had a deadline for work, school or personal goals that required you to problem solve at top speed? Today’s wedding is this very situation! Vera contacted with me with just about two weeks until her wedding date. She had come across a wedding I did that was of Royal Blue, Light Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers, and she fell in love with the color combination and the flowers. Thankfully, I could get a hold of what I needed to recreate the look for her. Here are some photos by Ryan Michaels Photography of Vera’s dream wedding flowers!

Vera wanted a simple look with royal blue Roses, light blue Roses and white Baby’s Breath in a smaller handtied style bridal bouquet.

There were a few additional items that she wanted to tie everything together including some small flowers for her hair and a matching groom’s boutonniere of a royal blue Rose, white Baby’s Breath and a touch of greenery.

“I wanted silk flowers for my wedding and after some googling found a picture of a bouquet that I LOVED at Love is Blooming. I only had a few weeks before my wedding at this point, so I emailed Erin and asked her if she could make something like that for me in that time frame. She said yes and sent over pictures within a day or two. She made a beautiful bouquet and boutonniere for my husband. I wanted some white flowers in my hair and asked her if she had any left over from the bouquet that she could send me, and she said she did. She also sent some extra blue flowers that I was able to use for decorations around the cake that went with my bouquet. And she included the extra flowers for free. Everything was beautiful and she got it done so quickly!”
— V | California

Cake flowers don’t need to be over the top. A small cluster of Hydrangea in the right color was just what Vera’s cake needed!

The great thing about silk wedding flowers is that everything is custom and you are working directly with me. Despite our short turn around time, Vera got all the items she wanted and they were within her budget and matched her vision for her wedding day.

Green and White Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Today’s sweet bride is local to me, so I got the pleasure of handing off her flowers in person. That’s always a fun treat for me to see their excitement when I get to show them the bridal bouquet they’ll be walking down the aisle holding. Emma was so easy to work with and had a pretty clear vision of green and white flowers for her custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at some Minneapolis silk wedding flowers photographed by the talented Jenny Cvek Photography. You can also find her here on Instagram.

Here’s our beautiful bride Emma! Her custom silk bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of white Roses, Peonies, and Gardenia, plus Lamb's Ear, Small and Standard Eucalyptus, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and blue Thistle.

The groom’s boutonniere was a white Rose bud and blue Thistle with a mix of the greenery and matching ribbon.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, but without the standard Eucalyptus. That slight difference just makes the bridal bouquet different, but still matching.

What a great looking bridal party!

“I absolutely loved how our wedding flowers turned out, it was exactly what I was dreaming of and they looked amazing in photos! Erin was so nice to work with and everything was customizable to what I wanted, a great experience overall. She does an amazing job and is so talented at what she does. She made our bouquets and boutonnières and worked with our short timeline and budget as well. Totally recommend Erin!!”

White and Green Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal & Review

, ,

If you are looking for wedding flowers for any season, any venue, or any decade, then today’s custom silk wedding flowers are exactly what you are looking for! Jenna reached out to me with her classic color palette of green and white and sent me some inspiration photos of bouquets she liked the look of. She had sent in the Free Bride’s Checklist and included a few of her favorite flowers, so she really made it easy for me to catch her vision! I’m excited to share some photos from Jenna’s wedding, captured by the very talented Sawyer Creek Photography!

white-green-custom-bridal-bouquet-boutonniere-silk-wedding-flowers

Jenna’s bridal bouquet was a large, loose, handtied style bouquet with a mix of white Roses, Peonies, Larkspur, small filler seeds for texture, Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The groom’s boutonniere was a white rose, Larkspur, seeds, greens and ribbon that matched the bridal bouquet.

Jenna wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to be very similar to her bouquet. I used the same mix of flowers but left out the Larkspur. The look was very cohesive but set the bridal bouquet apart just every so slightly.

What a classy looking bridal party. And I’m loving the muted tone of the bridesmaid dresses with the pop of green and white from the bouquets.

“I got soooooo many compliments on them, everyone was amazed when I told them they weren’t real flowers.”

Custom Bridal Bouquet Recreation Anniversary Gift - Reveal

, , , ,

Tyler reached out to me about an anniversary gift for his wife. He sent over photos of her beautiful bridal bouquet and I got to work looking for the closest matches I could find. Let’s take a look at how it shaped up!

Schilling Photography

The original bouquet was a mix of of white Hydrangea, white and coral Roses, Eucalyptus and Seeds in a round handtied style with some cascading greenery.

Schilling Photography

“I sent Erin a few pictures of my wife’s wedding bouquet to make a replica and she absolutely nailed it! She kept me updated on the process and asked to see other pictures if she was not 100% sure. She really worked with me, since I know nothing about flowers, and was able to recreate it just from the pictures. My wife loved it! I let her open it out of the box because I was excited to give it to her and she was very surprised. She had to look at pictures to compare because it looked exactly the same as her wedding bouquet. She immediately started to find a place to display it after that. I think she was a little speechless, but was definitely excited about it. It will always be there to remind us of our special day!”

Watermelon, Coral, Blush and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

My last blog post showed a classic bouquet look with all white flowers. And even though today’s wedding color scheme is has multiple shades of color, these two unique weddings are a lot alike! Vanessa came to me with her watermelon, coral and blush themed wedding, and we got to work thinking about a good mix of flowers that would hit all those marks. Let’s take a look at the designs we came up with together (did you know you get to work WITH me on your designs?) as so beautifully shown in these photos by Maddie Rose Photography.

Just like in Cassie’s wedding, Vanessa also had each of her girls in a different color and style of dress. But we wanted the custom silk bridesmaid bouquets to look great with all of the dresses. Vanessa’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of watermelon Roses, coral Roses, light pink Peonies, Baby's Breath, nude pink Roses, dusty pink Roses, and Seeded Eucalyptus. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of her bouquet for a very cohesive look.

“I LOVE my flowers. Erin did such a great job of updating me on the look of my flowers and helping to decide what flowers would look the best together. I am so thankful for all her help and would HIGHLY recommend her to other brides.”
— Vanessa | Michigan

I love the detail shots (like above) and I also LOVE shots where brides and grooms are surrounded by people that love and support them on such an important day. And you can totally see the love in this phot below!

Revisiting The Peach, Pink, Blue and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

I’m so happy I came across this wedding again in my search to share some oldies but goodies! Caroline’s color palette was dreamy and delicate, but bright and lovely! The pops of yellow mixed in with the peach and blue and pink was genius, if I do say so myself! Let’s take a walk down memory lane at these lovely arrangements!

There is so very little to say about these photos, except be sure and check out Caroline’s amazing photographer Taylor Sakata Photography and figure out how to hire her right now. Also, surround yourself with your closest friends, wear a dress you love, fix your hair up just right, look adoringly at your husband-to-be, and hold my flowers for at least few pictures before emailing them to me. So I’ve said enough, here are Caroline’s custom silk wedding flowers for her spring Georgia wedding.

“When I first started planning my wedding, I began searching Google for silk flower options. I had not heard of anyone who had gone this route, but I loved the idea of being able to keep my wedding bouquet forever. I was a little hesitant to order flowers online from someone in a different state, but I was immediately at ease after my first communication with Erin. She made each step of the process so easy and fun, and I appreciated that she always asked for my feedback and was willing to adjust to make my flowers perfect. They turned out better than I could have imagined! Not only was her pricing very reasonable, she also had my flowers done earlier than expected. It is so nice knowing that this aspect of my wedding planning is taken care of. I would recommend her over any flower shop any day. Erin’s customer service and quality of work are hard to beat.”
— Caroline | Georgia

Revisiting This Wedding Day Reveal of Silk Flowers

, ,

Today we are revisiting a moment in time that could included great joy when things were just…hard! I love that Rachel has this moment to look back on with fondness, no matter what else was going on in the world! One thing I didn’t talk about in my original post was what was in the arrangements. As you scroll down to see them, you’ll see the bouquets made up of Hydrangea, Dahlia, Tulips, Ruscus, and plum Astilbe in the bridesmaid bouquets. The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with those flowers plus Roses, Ranunculus, Seedum and Fern. I love that she chose a bouquet that was quite a bit different than the bridesmaids. Let’s take a look at this awesome wedding from 2020!

There is nothing sweeter than getting to see my flowers out in “the wild.” I spend time chatting and designing with each client and then I send their silk wedding flowers off to their Happily Ever After. Rachel sent me some shots from her wedding with her bridal bouquet that made me gasp and slap my husband on the arm as I pointed at my phone screen.

These breathtaking images were taken by the very talented MVphotos. If you want to see more of Madalyn’s amazing work, you can find her on Instagram (madalynvermeerphotos), Facebook (MVphotos), or shoot her an email to book her for your own wedding (info@madalynvphotography.com). Thanks Madalyn for the photos!

2020 sure has provided us with some unique situations! I love that these two lovebirds decided to make this a sweet moment to remember.

This detail shot is so fun! How many of you are hoping for a photo that captures all those details you spent so much time on?

Bright Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Today’s lovely bride, Carmine, reached out to me last year about a silk flower bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere for her Florida wedding. She was really on the ball with scheduling, and even though her wedding was just a few weeks ago, she requested her flowers were done this past December. Just another great perk of custom silk wedding flowers! Let’s take a look at Carmine’s beautiful silk bridal bouquet!

I just love the lace on Carmine’s dress! It’s actually a beautiful match to the bright blue Hydrangea that makes up the main part of her round style bridal bouquet. Hydrangea clusters are often described as being lacey and you can see why from these photos that Carmine’s family and friends snapped from the big day!

The custom silk bridal bouquet featured bright blue Hydrangea, white Tulips, white Baby’s Breath and Eucalyptus that gives it a very fresh look. Which is perfect for a Florida wedding!

“Erin did absolutely amazing on my bouquet. Perfect! Thank you for your help on my special day!”
— Carmine | Florida

20 Year Old Silk Bridal Bouquet

, ,

Today, I’m taking a little time off because my husband and I jetted off to Hawaii for an early celebration of our 20th anniversary! This week, I wanted to show you a photo from our wedding day, June 12, 2004, and show you my same bouquet…almost 20 years later! Perhaps this will convince you of the lasting quality of a silk bridal bouquet!

Mills Photography- Niles, Michigan

Our wedding took place in my hometown of Bridgman, Michigan so my bouquet came with me to the beach for outdoor photos, back to the church for the indoor portraits, got toted around our reception, then traveled back to Minnesota after our honeymoon and 10 years later moved from one house to another. Let’s take a look at what it looks like today!

My Aunt Finessa taught me how to arrange silk flowers and not only was it a great help, it also saved us lots of money! My mom and I went shopping and found the perfect roses for my pink and yellow color scheme. I made a handtied, round style bouquet with the prettiest peachy pink roses that had some yellow in them. I used sheer ribbon to do a criss-cross pattern on the stems and did some ribbon loops up underneath the flowers to finish it off. My bouquet still looks like it did the day I said, “I do!”

Do you love the idea of having a bouquet that you don’t have to be careful with, that you know will look good for every minute of your wedding day, that you won’t have to dry or preserve to have a beautiful keepsake? Then custom silk wedding flowers might be just what you are looking for. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote!

Burnt Orange, Terra Cotta, Nude, White and Beige Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

This last year, I had the fun task of working Orange and Terra Cotta into a variety of weddings. I absolutely loved the creativity that my bride’s brought with their ideas. And I’m excited to share Ashley’s burnt orange, terra cotta, nude, white and beige silk wedding flowers. Her arrangements were full of texture and interest and were lovely additions to her November wedding. Let’s take a look at some photos from her very talented photographer Christina Jo Photography!

Ashley’s bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of beige baby's breath, terra cotta, rust and nude Roses, white Bamboo, mini pampas and larger pampas. If you look in the photo above, it was a perfect accent to both her wedding dress and her groom’s unique sport coat. Don’t you love the beige and plaid detail?

Let’s talk for a minute about Pampas grass. It’s a super popular and lovely addition to wedding florals, but it sheds like crazy! Unless you want to have it all over your dress, your groom’s tux or any other fabric in your general vicinity, faux Pampas is a great alternative. There is no allergy risk, no shedding and it’s not as delicate as the real stuff.

Thanks again to Ashley for sharing these lovely images of her custom bridal bouquet in silk flowers for her big day. Do you have your eye on this color palette? Or maybe you were considering Pampas in your wedding flowers?

Jewel Tone Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Getting to work with local couples is always fun because I get to meet them in person when they pick up their flowers. And if I’m really lucky, I get to run into them in the wild, like I did at my son’s basketball tournament recently! Amber was so easy to work with to create her custom silk wedding flower designs and so it was extra fun to see her again and meet her husband and their sweet kiddos in a school gym, of all places! She had just sent me these photos a few days before, so it was great timing to be able to share their wedding day with you! Let’s take a look at these awesome photos by Abigail Niemann Photography.

Our happy couple who look like they are having the best day ever in these pictures! Amber’s bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of emerald green Roses, white Lilies, purple Mums, burgundy and magenta Roses, cream Ranunculus, berry Tea Roses, Succulents, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus. I loved this color combination, especially with that pop of magenta in there!

The bridesmaids carried similar bouquets in a smaller handtied style. We did simplify them so that only the bridal bouquet had Liles and Succulents. That just meant Amber’s bouquet stood out even more!

I love the celebration here!

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.”
— Jessica | Minnesota

Terra Cotta, Rust and Neutral Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

When I was in high school, centuries ago, our school colors were orange and navy blue. My school was built in the 60’s, and apparently, those colors were a hot combination! Us enlightened youth though there was no way orange could be or ever would be a popular color again. I stand corrected! I am in love with this hot new trend of neutrals, earth tones and terra cotta, rust and oranges. Never would I have put them together myself, but we only need to look to nature for inspiration! Today’s lovely wedding photos were passed on to me by my awesome bride Brianna! She had a clear vision for her flowers and I was honored to bring it to life! The following photos are by Bob Durling and you can find him on Instagram.

Brianna’s bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of orange preserved Bunny Tails, off white Pampas, rust Roses, white Roses, white Bamboo, orange Eucalyptus, mini beige Pampas, and beige Baby's Breath. It had more pieces going vertical than you might see in a typical round style bridal bouquet, but that only added interest! The bridesmaid bouquets had the same mix of flowers, just in a smaller size.

Brianna also needed an altar arrangement go on this beautiful arch. It was nicely accented with draped fabric that tied everything together nicely for the decor.

These custom aisle arrangements were a great way to draw the eyes all the way down the aisle and also stretch the decor farther into the room.

Are you considering a color combination that maybe you never thought you would? Or maybe it’s a classic color palette that you’d like to put a new spin on? If so, custom silk wedding flowers might be just what you are looking for. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to start the design process with me!

Awesome Altar Arrangements in Navy, Dusty Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Alec and Bailey were interested in seeing some flowers in person to be reassured of quality, style and that we were a good fit to work together. Since the majority of my business is done online, it was fun to sit down with them and hear their vision. I showed them some examples of flowers, we talked about color combinations, and we were able to take some selections and come up with a winning combination of flowers and greenery. Let’s take a look at their custom silk wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented Katie Lindgren!

Here’s our sweet bride, Bailey! Her bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with 1 navy Magnolia, a few navy Ranunculus, dusty blue Dogwood, white garden Roses, white Hydrangea, white Dahlia, Skimmia berries, white Seeds, Lamb's Ear, Seeded Eucalyptus and some mixed greenery that worked with the bridesmaid dress color. Bailey wanted her bouquet to feature navy and dusty blue, but for the bridesmaid bouquets to be all white with greenery.

In their lovely sage green dresses, the bridesmaid carried round handtied style bouquets with white Hydrangea, Dahlia, and  Roses, seeds, and the same mix of greenery as the bridal bouquet. I love how it makes the blue really stand out even more!

Look at this stunning altar! The filtered light through the windows, the warmth of the wood arch, it’s amazing! Because Alec and Bailey were local, we didn’t have to contend with shipping, so I was able to a little bigger and badder on their altar arrangement. The corner piece was a mix of navy Magnolia, Delphinium and small accent flowers, dusty blue Dogwood, white Dahlia, Hydrangea and Roses and lots of greenery. I also created a piece to go on the opposite beam that included white Roses, navy Ranunculus, dusty blue Dogwood and more greenery.

Moving on to the reception! They ordered custom centerpieces made to drop into vases that their venue provided. We went with the all white theme of Roses, Dahlia, Hydrangea and Seeds and went with just the Seeded Eucalyptus for greenery. It’s a classic look that goes with any space. And since these are silk flowers, they are reusable and ready for your next event or even for another bride to use!

“Erin was SO wonderful to work with for our wedding - I can’t recommend her enough! We went into the planning with a fairly open mind, as neither of us were well-versed in flower types or had a super specific vision at the time of our consultation. Erin is skilled at her craft and was able to make several suggestions with us being fairly open canvases, and she also showed us several examples of past work to help us decide what we’d like. She has a ton of flower types and colors at her disposal and is very willing to work with you to execute what you’re looking for. She was very flexible, communicative, and genuinely excited to help us make our day beautiful! Additionally, shortly before our wedding and after we’d placed our initial order, our layout changed a bit at the venue and we needed to add some additional arrangements last minute. Erin was super accommodating and let us know the additional ones wouldn’t be exactly the same but she’d make them as close as she could, and I honestly couldn’t even tell the difference! I also received several compliments on the arrangements at the wedding, especially for my bridal bouquet and the arch pieces - a few people even told me they couldn’t believe they were silk flowers! 10/10 would highly recommend!”
— Bailey | Minnesota

They are so many options of how to do cake florals! Alec and Bailey opted to do 3 small clusters to go on top and at the base of each layer for a simple but stylish look.

Love the look of white, navy and dusty blue? Here’s a few more examples of incorporating those colors into your custom silk wedding flowers:

-Cinderella Blue in Destination Silk Wedding Flowers

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.
