White and Blush Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

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

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

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

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!!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation for Daughter's Anniversary

Happy New Year! Maybe a bouquet recreation is a new idea to you, so here’s a great example to introduce this unique gift idea. A few times now, I’ve had moms come to me wanting to recreate their daughter’s bridal bouquet for a gift. But that’s even more fun when she comes back for her other daughter’s bridal bouquet! Customer Rosanne, reached out to me a few years after ordering from me to place a second order and of course I was happy to help! Her daughter’s bouquet was a classic mix of white Roses, Spray Roses, and Calla Lilies with a mix of Fern, Smilax and Eucalyptus in a dramatic cascading bouquet. Rosanne worked closely with me to get just the right size of flowers, shape of the draping and placement of the feature flowers to get it just right! Let’s compare with these photos from the photographer at Jackson Zimmerman Photography.


When the package arrived last week, I opened the top to peek in, but was too afraid to even take it out and mess it up before gifting it!



I finally got to witness it’s beauty… and my daughter’s JOY in opening it today!! SHE ABSOLUTELTY LOVES IT!!!! It’s perfect :)!

The photos you sent didn’t really do it justice… Stunning! It looks so real in every sense.

I purchased a plain cylinder vase in the dimensions you suggested, and my daughter already has it displayed on her fireplace mantle.. (out of reach of toddler for now!) At some point, she may move it to entryway table…

Also, I just found out that the traditional anniversary gift for 4th anniversary is fruit and/or flowers… so this was spot on besides!!

Thanks again for your patience and extra care to make it just right for her.

A lifetime treasure! Keep up the beautiful work!
— Rosanne | New York

Getting the right shape of the bouquet is important and Rosanne gave me lots of great feedback based on the photos and from her memory of the wedding day.

Sunflowers and Navy Blue Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

One thing that will never go out of style is sunflowers! They are bright and cheery, they go great with a variety of color palettes, and they look especially great for weddings that include elements from the great outdoors. My bride, Caitlin, sent me some lovely images from David Paul Photography of her summer wedding. Let’s take a look at a great example of using Sunflowers with a mix of navy and white in custom silk wedding flowers!

Caitlin chose a cascading bridal bouquet with a mix of Sunflowers, navy Roses, navy Wisteria, white Calla Lilies, and Ruscus. It was a lush, full bouquet that looked perfect with the backdrop of a green field as she entered the ceremony site!

sunflower-bridal-bouquet-silk-wedding-flowers-corsage-boutonniere

The bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquet with a mix of navy Roses, Sunflowers, white Callas and Ruscus.

There was a beautiful fireplace as the backdrop for their altar and Caitlin had me design three pieces to coordinate with her bridal bouquet. Along the mantel, I created a long garland with Sunflowers. navy Roses and Wisteria, Calla Lilies and greenery. We didn’t go large with this piece because we needed it to do double duty for the reception area. She also ordered two pieces to sit on the hearth. Instead of making these bouquet style to drop in a vase, they had a flat bottom so they could sit on the ground, on a table top, or anywhere she needed more decor. As you can see below, the versatility of these three custom silk flower arrangements made her dollar stretch and her head table look great!

When ordering cake flowers, there are a few options! You can order a custom floral cake topper, premade clusters for layers, or like Caitlin, you can order loose flowers and greenery for your baker to place on the cake. Their baker did a great job accenting this simple, but classic cake style.

Thank you for contributing to my big day! The arrangements are now decorating my house.
— Caitlin | Ohio

Caitlin had worn a tiara for the ceremony but wanted to switch it up for the reception, so I created a custom floral crown that incorporated her flowers and colors

Thanks to Caitlin for sharing her beautiful wedding day with us! If you are interested in adding Sunflowers to your wedding flowers or decor, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Vibrant Colors - Reveal and Double Review

Today’s feature is a lovely bridal bouquet recreation that was months in the making! Josiah contacted me about recreating his wife’s vibrant bouquet that was rich with texture and color. When Josiah first reached out, I wasn’t able to find everything I needed to get close enough to the original. Josiah didn’t give up on me and checked back in a few months later to see if I could find what I needed. I looked across various vendors and found great matches that he approved of. Let’s take a look at the bouquet compared to the original from the very talented Devin Ingersoll of Wild Meadow Floral!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers

This stunning bouquet was a mix of Cabbage and Garden Roses, Dahlia, Ranunculus, Calla Lilies, Scabiosa, Thistle, Pink Berries, Silver Dollar, Seeded, and Gunni Eucalyptus. It had so much going on in the bouquet that any way you looked at it, you see a new and different type of flower or greenery. The original bouquet had burgundy chiffon ribbon with long tails. But for display purposes, I left the wrap simple and we didn’t include the tails.

Erin did an incredible job recreating our bouquet, going out of her way to source the perfect fabric and materials to get the look just right. She even worked with our wedding florist to make sure that it matched exactly. I would work with her again. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Amazing craftmanship!
— Josiah | Massachusetts
I just wanted to say thank you SO much for recreating my beautiful bouquet! I am so happy I get to treasure it forever now. It is absolutely perfect.
— Lauren | Massachusetts

Josiah and Lauren sent me this photo of the bouquet displayed in their beautiful new home.

Bridal Bouquet Recreation for Daughter - Reveal and Review

Tom reached out to me about recreating his daughter’s bridal bouquet as a very special Christmas gift. As you’ll see from the photos, the colors were pretty specific and unique, so I did some testing to make sure I could dye them the right colors. I’m happy to say it was successful! Let’s take a look at her original bouquet side-by-side with my custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers!

bridal-bouquet-recreation-gift-silk-wedding-flowers

His daughter’s bouquet was a mix of white and blue Roses, white, blue and purple Calla Lilies, Ficus greens and a branch of Cedar at the back. It was wrapped with white satin ribbon with a sheer criss-crossed ribbon over the top. It’s unique shape and color scheme really set apart this bouquet. I love that I got to recreate a bouquet in a style that I’ve never done before!

Erin worked closely with my parents, for a Christmas gift, to recreate my bridal bouquet from my wedding in Curacao. The colors, formation, and the entire product is pretty much an exact copy. I love it and every time I look at the flowers I think back to my special day.

Let’s take a look at Carlie’s unique and stunning wedding! Photos are by Alexis Ziemski you can find her on Instagram @lenscapkid.

Kaitlin’s bridal bouquet was a show stopper. To recreate it, I needed to duplicate the same drama! Her bouquet was a mix of pink Roses, pink Dendrobium orchids, white Calla Lilies, Fern, Seeds, Pittosporum and Ruscus in a long tear drop cascade style bouquet.

Burgundy and Taupe Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

One of the up and coming hot colors is a surprising choice - it’s taupe! It’s a wonderfully warm neutral that goes with a variety of accent colors and adds an unexpected richness to wedding decor. Today, I get to share with you a great example of incorporating taupe into wedding flowers. Tiara had an awesome vision for her custom silk wedding flowers that included texture, neutrals and burgundy. I showed her a variety of options, and she pretty much said “Yes!” to all of them! Let’s take a look at the magazine-worthy images Tiara sent me from the photographer who captured her day so beautifully: Narvold Photography.

Tiara’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of taupe and coffee colored Roses, burgundy Roses, Peonies and Calla Lilies, Cynara pods, Thistle, burgundy Amaranthus, sage Fern, mauve Queen Anne’s Lace seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus and beige Heather. It was a STUNNER!

Erin is absolutely fantastic to work with and she created the most beautiful bouquets for my wedding. After sending her a few photos and ideas she was able to visualize and create exactly what I was looking for and more! I highly recommend!
— Tiara | Minnesota

The bridesmaids were wearing beautiful burgundy dresses and carried handtied versions of Tiara’s bouquet. I even made mini bouquets for the flower girls.

Thanks again to Tiara for sharing such a special day with me so I could share it with you! If you are looking to incorporate taupe, beige, champagne or another neutral and need help with ideas, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Yellow and Blue Silk Wedding Flowers - Review

Caroline’s custom silk wedding flowers in yellow and blue are so classic and bright it felt like a fun thing to share with you in the still snow-y dead of February. With spring around the corner, I thought we could use a little peak at some bright colors.

Her bridal bouquet is a round ball style bouquet with a mix of blue Hydrangea, white and yellow Roses, white Calla Lilies and white Baby’s Breath. You literally can’t go wrong with a bouquet like this!

Erin communicates very clearly throughout the entire order and building process, with pictures of progress. She’s very thoughtful of the bride’s desires. Bouquets and boutonnieres arrived speedily and just as ordered! This perfectly solves my own allergy problem and fragrance sensitivities of some guests!
— Caroline | Texas

I simplified and reduced the overall size of the bridesmaid bouquets, including just blue Hydrangea, a few yellow Roses and white Baby’s Breath. Below, you can see a good example of the difference in size of the bridal bouquet and one of the bridesmaid bouquets.

The boutonnieres and corsages incorporated white for the main flowers with yellow and blue accents. Since there was no greenery in the bouquets, we didn’t add any into these arrangements either. Small details like that may not seem like much, but they keep a cohesive look across the board.

Moody Winter Wedding Colors in Silk Flowers

Winter can be a bright, shiny, time of year. But if that’s not the vibe you want in your silk wedding flowers for your bridal bouquet, then this post is for you! These moody winter wedding colors of navy, burgundy, gray and white were a fun mix for a January wedding. Just a hint of greenery kept it from being completely dark and jewel-toned, but we kept it minimal in order to provide just a touch of contrast.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of navy Peonies, burgundy berries and Calla Lilies, white Roses, gray Dusty Miller and Eucalyptus in a classic tear drop cascade style.

The bridesmaid and toss bouquets were mix of all the same flowers, but in a round handtied style. SIlver ribbon finished off all the arrangements to tie in more of her color scheme.

Combining Inspiration Photos for the Perfect Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blush, Burgundy, Berry, Beautiful Silk Wedding Flowers

Becky’s blush, burgundy, berry and beautiful silk wedding flowers were not just a dream alliteration, they were dreamy custom silk flowers and bridal bouquets!

Her modified cascade bridal bouquet was a combination of blush and cream Cabbage Roses, raspberry Calla Lilies, burgundy Calla Lilies, white Dahlia, white Roses, burgundy Seeds, Lamb’s Ear, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaid bouquets were a similar mix of flowers, but in a handtied style and without the raspberry Callas. Those we kept for just the bridal bouquet.

Becky also wanted a flower crown for her flower girl. I used a mix of all her colors in smaller scale accent flowers based on a crown of white Baby’s Breath.

Blending Themes Within a Wedding- Rustic and Tropical Silk Wedding Flowers

After 16 years of marriage, I can say with certainty that marriage takes a lot of blending of ideas, plans, and opinions. Sometimes we don’t realize that it actually starts long before you say, “I do.” So when you sit down together to talk about the vision for your wedding day, don’t be surprised if you both have different ideas. But don’t panic! Blending themes within a wedding isn’t as hard as it sounds! These silk wedding flowers are a great example of taking two different ideas and incorporating them into custom arrangements that fit the bride and groom.

Josie wanted a mix of Lilies and Calla Lilies and had some bright and fun colors as well. Her teal, orange and purple theme colors would be used in their centerpieces and she wanted to incorporate them in her ceremony flowers as well. The bridal bouquet was a mix of white Garden Lilies, ivory Calla Lilies, orange and purple Dendrobium Orchids and teal mini Phalaenopsis orchids. Her summer-y bouquet was a combination of all the inspiration photos she sent me. Though this bouquet looks quite tropical, Josie wanted to include a rustic element. Twine is a great way to accent any bouquet that you want to look a little more organic and rustic.

For the bridesmaid bouquets, we used the same variety of flowers, but in a handtied style. With their bouquets, the twine was a little more front and center, but still kept everything on theme.

For the toss bouquet, I scaled everything back, including using a different orange flower that fit the overall size of the bouquet much better.

The pin on corsages were all similar, with subtle differences to set apart the mothers, grandmothers and attendants. Again, the twine was a fun way to keep these bright and happy corsages a little more earthy.

Josie and her groom did a great job personalizing their flowers. One way they did this was to send me spent shotgun shells and turkey feathers for their boutonnieres. These accessories were a fun way to give a nod to the family’s hunting hobby. If you’ve been around my blog long enough, you may remember the last time I did some custom boutonnieres with shotgun shells.

Groom’s and Groomsman’s Boutonniere

Even the littlest bridal party member wasn’t left out. The ring bearer boutonniere might have been too small for a shotgun shell, but it wasn’t too small for a turkey feather!

Blending bright flowers with rustic accents isn’t a new idea. In fact I did it once before for Tracy’s Rustic Barn Wedding Flowers. Maybe you have a few ideas that you aren’t sure how to combine to make your wedding day truly unique. That’s where I come in! Contact me today to start a design plan that fits your ideas and dreams, no matter how different they might seem!
