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

I take it as a compliment when bride’s find photos of flowers they love on my blog! That’s why I take the time to write each week-maybe this is your week to be inspired by custom silk wedding flowers! Hailey reached out to me by filling out the Free Bride’s Checklist to get a quote and included a link back to this wedding from 2023. It had the colors and flowers she was looking for and so we got to work figuring out her floral needs for her wedding day. Let’s take a look at these lovely photos from Photography by Jill Emmer.

I just love these golden hour photos and on a bridge to boot! Romantic, dream-like and some pretty flowers to accent Hailey’s dress. Hailey carried a handtied bouquet with a mix of cabernet, taupe and nude Roses, filler seeds and Seeded Eucalyptus. The groom’s boutonniere was a cabernet Rose bud with a nude spray Rose, seeds and greens.

We kept the designs simple for everyone. The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets with one of each color of Roses, filler seeds and Seeded Eucalyptus.

I love the way the colors of the flowers and greenery pop against the black dresses and suits of their bridal party!

Erin did such an amazing job on our wedding flowers! She does such great work, they didn’t look artificial at all and made for amazing photos. Out of all the vendors I looked at, Erin provided high quality flowers at a really affordable price. She was easy to contact and shipped the flowers so quickly. So pleased we went with Erin!

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.

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!
