White Rose and Daisy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Last week, I shared another all white wedding with Brianna’s custom silk cascading bridal bouquet. Today, I want to share another take on the classic white wedding flowers. Anne reached out to me with a really specific vision for her flowers, and it used some of the same varieties as Brianna’s. Let’s take a look at another example of white silk wedding flowers in these photos by family friends Jim Hill (Jimhillphoto on IG) and Rick Kimball (Rick_kimball927 on IG).

Anne sent me some inspiration photos and noted that she wanted mainly white garden Roses. The one inspiration in particular caught my eye as it showed a handtied style bouquet with the flowers almost stacked in a more linear shape. I loved the uniqueness of it, so I used that as the starting point of her designs. Along the way, we added in some white Baby’s Breath and a single white Gerbera Daisy to honor a loved one. Take a look at this very classy group of folks. The white flowers really pop against the black dresses and the greenery all around them!

This photo is your reminder to make your flowers work for you! Whether you just lay bouquets on your head table or display them in vases around your reception venue, this is a great way to get more bang for your buck!

“Love is Blooming was great to work with for our flowers! I worked with Erin and she was fantastic, she’s the best! From the very first conversation about what I was looking for to the ideas Erin helped put together for a vision to become a reality! The flowers were perfect for our wedding day and we are so excited to have worked with Erin.”

Timeless White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Today’s featured wedding flowers are a great example of another perfect look for an outdoor wedding! Last week, I showed you Megan’s Colorful Silk Wedding Flower’s for an Outdoor Wedding, and today, I want to show you a timeless look that features only white flowers and a touch of greenery and also looks amazing in the great outdoors! Let’s take a look at some photos provided by Alexander Schmitt of A.S. Photography.

I love the smiles on Megan and her husband! And can you be a Minnesota bride and not feature one of our lovely lakes?? This couple is so classic and chic! Megan’s bouquet was a mix of white Roses, white Baby’s Breath and a touch of Olive greenery in a round handtied style bouquet. She didn’t want a very large bouquet, so we kept it a conservative size but it still looked like a bridal bouquet!

Again, classic was the name of the game so we finished off all the bouquets and boutonnieres with a simple wrap of sheer white ribbon. It had a slight shimmer without being full on bling-y.

The bridesmaids carried simplified versions of Megan’s bouquet. Instead of 8 white roses, baby’s breath and Olive greens, they carried 3 white roses with baby’s breath and no greens. This is a great example of finding a subtle way for the bridal bouquet to stand out from the bridesmaid bouquets, but still look like they match.

custom-wedding-flowers-silk-bridal-bouquet-white-greenery-bridesmaid-bouquets

One thing to mention is that Megan’s wedding was in May. In Minnesota, May weather can be unpredictable. We’ve had snow and we’ve also had temps in the 90’s! One thing Megan didn’t have to worry about is how her wedding flowers would fare in any extreme weather. No yellowing of petals and no wilting either.

Let’s take a look at this classy bunch—the bridal party!

The bridesmaids were in the classic LBD (little black dress) and the guys were sharp in their suits. I love they way they pop against the immaculate greens of the golf course!

“I used Love Is Blooming for my wedding flowers and OH MY GOSH! The flowers were perfect & they were exactly what I envisioned for my big day! Would 100% recommend working with Erin.”
— Megan | Minnesota

Do you have an outdoor area to feature at your wedding or reception venue that you want your flowers to compliment not compete with? Let’s talk about how to bring that vision to life! Custom silk wedding flowers are a great option and give you the reassurance that no matter the weather, they will look great!

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

, ,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Desert rose, Dusty Lavender, Sage, White & Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal & Review

, ,

I have to admit, I would never have thought to combine different shades of dusty pinks with lavender, but Megan knew what she was doing when she picked her colors! This awesome silk wedding flower ensemble is just perfection! Her color palette was a mix of Desert Rose, Dusty Lavender, Sage, White and Gold and the flowers she picked out for her bouquets were a great mix and complement to her wedding party attire. Let’s look at some beautiful photos from her photographer Xpression!

Megan’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of nude, dusty pink and light dusty pink Roses, Peonies with pink centers, pink seeds, dusty Lavender, Anemone, white Baby's Breath, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and some small filler greens. It was big and bold, but also soft and whimsical! It had texture from the seeds and Lavender, and some great contrast with the darker dusty pink and the black center of the Anemones. You can see from the photo below how well everything maxed up to the dresses, suits and bowties!

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, with all the same flowers and greenery.

We used all the main colors of roses for the various boutonnieres. Again, I love that they coordinated with the bowties! Megan wanted the stems to just kind of be nonchalant, so I used a sheer sage green ribbon to wrap them with for a really natural look.

“Getting silk flowers for our wedding was one of the best choices we could’ve made and I’m so glad I found Love is Blooming. Erin was responsive and put together a package and product that matched exactly what I was looking for. I got to customize the flowers to my liking and even got photos throughout the process which put me at ease during the planning process. I absolutely love my flowers and will cherish them forever! ”
— Megan | Virginia
custom-silk-bridal-bouquet-pink-lavendar-wedding-flowers

There were a few extras that Megan ordered to coordinate with the other arrangements, including a flower girl crown, ring bearer Boutonnieres and a couple of clusters for the layers on her cake. The simplicity of this cake design is just lovely and makes the perfect backdrop for a touch of matching florals!

White, Dusty Pink and Nude Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love today’s color palette of white, dusty pink and nude silk wedding flowers! Ardyn came to me with this classic mix of soft romantic colors, and we got to work designing her flowers together. Whether you come to me with an exact idea of what you’re looking for or really only know your colors, you get to co-design with me to pick out the flowers you like best, the shape of your bouquet and even the ribbon color! I know I’ve said it lots of times before, but I don’t want you to experience any (unfun) floral surprises for your wedding day. Custom silk wedding flowers allow you to know exactly what you are walking down the aisle with on your big day! *Puts soapbox away* Ok, back to Ardyn’s romantic, soft and classic silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at her lovely photos from the very talented Documented by Devyn!

The bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of nude, white and dusty pink Garden Roses, Seeds, white Delphinium, small Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus finished off with Chardonnay colored satin ribbon. The groom’s boutonniere was a dusty pink Garden Rose, seeds, white Delphinium flower and greens finished off with matching ribbon.

Ardyn’s bridesmaid carried a smaller version of her bouquet and the groomsman had a white rose bud with dusty pink accent flowers and greens. Simple but complementary!

For their ceremony, they had a lovely hoop/arch that she wanted some arrangements to attach to. We went with an asymmetrical look with one larger piece and one smaller piece. I love how it was a simple design overall but added some softness to the space. And of course they matched the bridal party’s flowers wonderfully.

“I wanted high-quality silk flowers for my wedding since I’m pretty allergic to real flowers. I was nervous after having to return the flowers I received from another company because they were not the colors I had asked for. Erin was very communicative at each step of the process and sent me photos so I knew up front what I was getting and what the flowers would look like. She did an incredible job and the flowers turned out to be absolutely perfect and just what I was envisioning! Highly recommend!”
— Ardyn | Tennessee

I know I’m always harping on this, but make your flowers work double duty if you can! In their case, they were able to use that same hoop arch for behind their sweetheart table which looks amazing! And as you can see on the table, Ardyn used her bouquet for table decor that filled everything out nicely with the candles and greenery.

Silk Wedding Flower Arrangements Feature: Bridesmaid Bouquets Part 2

,

As promised, today is all about silk flower bridesmaid bouquet shapes! Much like I talked about in the feature on silk flower bridal bouquets, there are two main shapes to bridesmaid bouquets: Round ball and round handtied. But if you feel boxed in by that, don’t be, because I’ve seen the most creativity in bridesmaid bouquet shapes than in any other category of wedding flower arrangement. Let’s start off looking at the more traditional shapes!

Round Ball Bridesmaid Bouquet

This side-by-side photo shows a round ball style bridal bouquet with the matching round ball style bridesmaid bouquet on the right. You can see the tight composure of the bouquet and the very clear ball shape.

Round Handtied Bridesmaid Bouquet

You can see from this photo that the bouquets have more variance in shape and composition and there bits of greenery and flowers sticking out from the parameters of a true sphere.

Photo by Audrey Cooper Photography

The other big category of silk flower bridesmaid bouquets would be the Clutch style. It’s often a good option for smaller budgets while still incorporating flowers for the bridesmaids to carry down the aisle. Here are a few examples of different shapes of clutch style bridesmaid bouquets.

This next design is a different take on the clutch bouquet, sometimes called a presentation bouquet. It can be great for a formal setting because doesn’t take away from the venue or bridesmaid dresses. It is simple, but classic with a few flowers and some ribbon!

This last example is a unique one that I haven’t done very often and it’s actually a silk flower bridesmaid bouquet hoop! For this wedding, they were incorporating circles and she asked me to use gold metal hoops with a silk flower arrangement attached to each one for her bridesmaids (and her flower girls) to carry down the aisle. I loved this idea!

Silk Wedding Flower Arrangement Feature: Bridesmaid Bouquets Part 1

,

Last month, I talked a bit about custom silk bridal bouquets, and this month, I’m shining the spotlight on Bridesmaid Bouquets! When considering how to design your bridesmaid bouquets, a good starting point is to decide whether you want them to “match” your bridal bouquet or stand alone. What does it mean to match the bridal bouquet?

  • I can make them as smaller versions of your bouquet.

  • It can incorporate a simplified mix of what is in the bridal bouquet.

  • You can pick one flower or color only from the bridal bouquet and build their bouquets around it

Let’s take a look at some bouquets that show what I’m talking about. This first example shows bouquets that are just smaller versions of the bridal bouquet.

These bridesmaid bouquets feature all of the same flowers except the rust orange Roses that we featured in the bridal bouquet. As you can see, they still match but allow the bridal bouquet to stand out a little more.

Photo by Brittany Nicole Photography

The bridesmaid bouquets from this wedding featured one flower with greenery in a clutch style bouquet.

Photo by HL Photo

This next example is from one of my very first weddings that I ever created! Bridget had wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to match the dress color of each bridesmaid. This is a great visual of what it would look like for your bridesmaid bouquets to be different from your bouquet and to stand alone.

After sharing this much, I realized I haven’t even made it to talking about different shapes and styles of silk flower bridal bouquets. Check back later for Part 2 and an overview of the different shapes of bouquets!

Pomegranate and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’ve been waiting to share these flowers with you since Ashleigh’s February wedding! I absolutely loved her design choices and how the bouquets came together, so when she sent me the photos from her big day, I was so excited to finally be able to share them!! Ashleigh’s color palette was pomegranate/dark berry and navy, and she wanted to bring in some mauve and greenery for a really rich look that wasn’t a traditional pink bouquet. Let’s take a look at these photos from her photographer: Daniel Sexton Photography.

Here’s our beautiful bride Ashleigh! Her bouquet was a large, loose modified cascade style bridal bouquet with mix of blush Seedum, berry Dahlias, berry mini Mums, navy mini Ranunculus, dusty pink Zinnia, a mix berry Roses and Peonies, peach Cabbage Roses, Willow, Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. It had color and texture to keep your eye moving, but wasn’t over the top!

The groom’s boutonniere was a berry Rose, Seedum, navy mini Ranunculus and matching greenery. The bridesmaid bouquets were loose handtied style with the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet just smaller. While they were the same modified cascade shape, they did incorporate the Willow greenery which gave them some trailing pieces which is not as common for bridesmaid bouquets. I loved that they were different in that way!

“I had a great experience working with Erin at Love is Blooming! She was very helpful with providing me with options and ideas when I wasn’t sure what flowers I wanted, and she was very responsive throughout the whole process. My bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, and all the boutonnieres and corsages were absolutely gorgeous and unique and I’m so happy I chose silk flowers so I can hold onto them as a keepsake as well.”
— Ashleigh | Florida

Here’s a look at one of the groomsmen bouts with a berry Dahlia and one of the mother’s wrist corsages that had a berry rose with accents. I loved that not everyone had the same main flower, but they all incorporated the same main color.

Galaxy Orchid Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I love the classic nature of today’s wedding reveal! Lindsey had a clear vision for her bridal bouquet that included stunning Galaxy Orchids. If you have never seen them, they are blue and purple orchids that are pretty magical looking. Let’s take a look at LIndsey’s classic church wedding, featuring her custom silk wedding flowers. The photographs are provided by Bellagala Photography.

Here is our picture perfect couple! Lindsey’s bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of white Garden Roses, purple Picasso Calla Lilies and those eye catching blue and purple Galaxy Orchids. The bouquet was wrapped with a classic white satin ribbon.

Lindsey ordered clutch size bridesmaid bouquets that incorporated the same mix of flowers but in a handtied style.

“I absolutely LOVE my “Love is Blooming” bouquets! They made our wedding pictures look so beautiful! And Erin was wonderful to work with! She really listened to what I was looking for in my bouquets and was able to customize pricing to fit my budget. I also love that I get to keep my flowers long after the wedding and continue to enjoy their beauty! I would highly recommend “Love is Blooming” to anyone looking for flowers for their event!”

White Winter Wedding - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I know that it’s officially spring here in Minnesota, but one of the things we’re known for is our snow (and cold, but we’ll ignore that for now). When Danielle sent me here wedding photos from her magical, snowy, winter wedding, I couldn’t wait to share them! And truly if you are thinking of a winter wedding, this is the perfect time to start planning for custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at Danielle’s lovely white winter wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented Rule Creative Co. Check them out if you are Minnesotan!

Here’s our clearly very happy couple Danielle and Riley. Their February wedding here in Minnesota may have been cold, but that sure didn’t seem to dampen their spirits! Danielle’s bouquet was a round handtied style that had just a touch of hanging greenery. It consisted of white Roses, Peonies, Dahlia, and Ranunculus, Lambs Ear, Eucalyptus and other mixed greenery in more sage/dusty green tones. I really loved that she chose greenery that added height, texture and some dramatic draping.

Her attendants carrying flowers had smaller, handtied style bouquets with the same floral mix as the bridal bouquet. Danielle wanted her bouquet to be the only one with the cascading greenery, so we left that out of their bouquets. She also had a bridesman standing up on her side. His boutonniere matched the groomsmen’s bouts, but I love that his suit matched the bridesmaids!

We kept it very classic for the bridal party boutonnieres. Riley had a single white Rose bud with a small white Ranunculus. I also pulled some of the same greenery from the bridal bouquet to accent his boutonniere so that his stood out a little from the groomsmen.

custom-silk-white-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-boutonnieres
“Erin was wonderful to work with. I was able to meet with her in person and see the beautiful work she does. She was thorough in asking what we envisioned for our day. Communication was efficient. Once it was closer to the wedding, she sent us progress photos to make sure we liked everything. They were very beautiful and so realistic. She created our ceremony flowers, bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, and the boutonnieres. A great option as an alternative to real flowers that will last and look natural in photos.”
— Danielle | Minnesota

Danielle ordered a couple of decor pieces to complement their amazing venue. Those big windows provide so much “decor” on their own! The altar area featured a classy, modern fireplace that Danielle wanted some floral pieces for. We decided on a larger focal piece to go at one end, with a long, matching garland to stretch almost all the way across. This was inspired by other photos from the venue that she had seen and liked.

custom-silk-white-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-altar-arrangement

I specifically designed the fireplace arrangement to be in two pieces so that they could be used somewhere else during the reception. These were the perfect pieces to sit on the head table.

Minnesota is known for it’s 10,000 lakes (it’s actually 11,842 if you’re curious), so this feels like the perfect last photo for Danielle and Riley’s winter wedding. Magical, right?!

Ink Blue and Terra Cotta Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Today’s wedding is a stunner and a unique color combination that I don’t think I’ve done before! McKenzie reached out to me about wedding flowers with her color palette of ink blue, terra cotta and white, and I was hooked! Let’s take a look at her textured, high contrast and beautiful custom silk wedding flowers captured so wonderfully by Audrey Cooper Photography!

Here’s our beautiful bride McKenzie! Her bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with mix of ink blue Baby's Breath, blue Mini Peonies, rust Roses, Lamb's Ear, white Roses, white Ball Mums, white Larkspur, and white mini Ranunculus. It was big and bold and visually interesting with the different shapes and textures of the flowers.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet and as you can see, their dresses matched the bouquets wonderfully!

I love these detail shots where you get a glimpse into their wedding day!

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!”

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.”

Sunflower Spotlight - Happy Thanksgiving!

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

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

Bridal Bouquet

Bridesmaid Bouquet

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

Bridal Bouquet

Bridesmaid Bouquet

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

Bridal Bouquet

Toss Bouquet

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

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?

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?

Recreating a Bouquet You Love For Your Wedding - Reveal & Review

, ,

I’ve had a number of brides find a blog post of mine and fall in love with the look of a bouquet I’ve made for another bride. Today’s bride, Tommy, loved this modified cascade bridal bouquet that I made a few years ago and wanted the same bouquet for herself! I was able to design a few more custom arrangements to match and we had custom silk wedding flowers for her big day! Let’s take a look at a few of the photos Tommy sent me from her photographer, Ron Park Photography.

Tommy’s modified cascade silk bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, dusty blue Wisteria, white Baby’s Breath, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Succulents and Peacock Feathers. Her daughter carried a small, simplified bouquet of Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath, one Succulent and some Eucalyptus. I really liked how they complemented each other without being matchy-matchy.

The groom’s boutonniere included a Succulent, mini Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath and a touch of the dusty blue Wisteria. I loved that Tommy went with a Succulent as the main “flower” for the boutonniere.

I also got to design and create two custom hair pieces for Tommy and her daughter. We used the same mix of flowers from the bridal bouquet with a touch of smaller leafed greenery and of course those classy Peacock feathers had to make an appearance!

“I was searching for examples of sunflowers and peacock feather bouquets and came across Love Is Blooming. I emailed Erin immediately when I saw she had made the exact combination that I was looking for. She was great to work with, very informative and kept me updated on the progress.”

Bridal Bouquet and Daughter's Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Randy reached out to me about custom bridal bouquet recreation for his wife and a custom bridesmaid bouquet recreation for her daughter as Christmas presents! The photos he sent me showed deep Red Roses and Peonies and burgundy Calla Lilies in a classic round style bouquet for the bridal bouquet. The bridesmaid bouquet was a simple round handtied bouquet of white Garden Roses. Let’s take a look at how these custom Christmas gifts turned out!

I loved that the bouquet was wrapped with a white satin ribbon and then a red satin ribbon over the top! It gave the bouquet a festive look without being a traditional red and green Christmas accent.

“Oh my goodness. Erin, was spot on with the arrangement of my wife’s bouquet from our wedding. She did amazing work and I would highly recommend her for any bouquet arrangement for anyone around!! Thank you again Erin!!”
