White and Blush Cherry Blossom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I’m always excited to share weddings and each one is so unique to the couple. Today’s wedding has vintage vibes along with some high glamour and flower arrangements that were show stoppers! Samantha came to me with a vision to include Cherry Blossoms in her silk flower arrangements. Her venue was already going to incorporate Cherry Blossom trees, yes you read that right, TREES in her decor. It took some coordinating to narrow down the other flowers she wanted in her bouquets that would also match the decor flowers that would be installed on site. I’m so proud of being able to collaborate with Samantha to design bouquets that went so well with her decor flowers for her New York wedding! Enough talk, let’s see some amazing photos from the very talented Seven Son Photography.

Here’s our amazing couple! Their venue was stunning and gave me some Great Gatsby vibes with the richness of estate along with the awesome decor. Samantha’s bouquet was a smaller size handtied bouquet with a mix of white and pink Cherry Blossoms, Baby's Breath, Hydrangea, Spray Roses, Stephanotis, filler Seeds and Seeded Eucalyptus. The groom’s boutonniere was a couple of Spray Roses, Cherry Blossoms, a touch of Baby’s Breath and greenery.

The bridal party wore classic black and white attire and that is always the perfect backdrop for florals! The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets with a few white Rose buds, Baby’s Breath and a few branches of blush Cherry Blossoms.

The groomsmen’s bouts were a single Spray Rose with a touch of Cherry Blossoms. All of the boutonnieres were simple, but classic in style.

Now I want to show you some of their awesome floral decor. And despite the fact that I was not the creator, these arrangements needs to be seen. This is also a great example of blending in existing decor and floral arrangements with custom silk wedding flowers that you can order from me! Let’s start with the two arrangements that frame out the altar. I love that they don’t form a complete arch and that they are asymmetrical-such a creative design!

And look at this big, bad, Cherry Blossom tree! These were their centerpieces! Each table created a moment in their reception area. And I love it!

The last look at decor is something that I created, but isn’t something that was separate from their other silk flower arrangements. You can see that they used some of their bouquets on the cake table to add floral touches without needing to purchase a separate arrangement. I always recommend this for the head table, cake table, or anywhere else that needs a little something.

My wedding flowers came out perfectly! I enjoyed the collaboration in making sure every detail was perfect and they even got done super early so I could match the rest of my decor. You would never know they are silk. Highly recommend working with Erin!

Silk Flower Aisle Arrangements and Centerpieces Do Double Duty!

I absolutely love the versatility that custom silk wedding flowers affords brides of any budget. Maricel reached out to me about a unique idea for ceremony and reception silk flowers. When she emailed me, she asked, “We were wondering if it would be possible to make the aisle arrangements in such a way that it could be broken apart into smaller pieces and reused as table decor during the reception?”

Her idea was both creative and budget friendly, and you know I’m all about both of those things! They were planning on using wood boxes for both the ceremony decor and centerpiece containers, so that was an easy way to make sure that what I created would fit both spaces. Let’s take a look at what I came up with for Maricel’s silk flower aisle arrangements and centerpieces so they could do double duty! Here are some lovely photos by Andrew Do Photography!

All of the arrangements consisted of a variety of white and champagne flowers, touches of blush pink and greenery. We included white Lilies, mini Cabbage Roses, Phalaenopsis Orchids and Gardenia in white, champagne Hydrangea, pink Peonies, Garden Roses and Eucalyptus, lush green Fern and Ruscus. Each aisle piece was actually two smaller arrangements placed together for a nice full look.

For the reception, they just needed a few helping hands to grab the aisle arrangements, separate the two small bouquets and place each one in a container on the reception tables. Easy and budget friendly!

Erin was incredibly responsive, creative, and resourceful. She truly made our vision come true. She also remained patient, flexible and transparent about what was possible with our budget. I would recommend her to anyone looking for truly unique floral arrangements for their special moments in life.

Lavender, Blush and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers-Reveal and Review

I’ve known Lexi and her family for about 18 years and my husband’s family has known them even longer. I felt incredibly honored to be asked to do silk wedding flowers and her bridal bouquet for her and Austin’s August wedding. Their color scheme was lavender, blush, dusty blue and ivory with pops of greenery. I went a little overboard with sharing their photos, but you’ll see really quickly why. These amazing images, provided by Cameron and Tia, were so fun to scroll through! Check them out if you are in the Minneapolis area!

Here’s our lovely couple Lexi and Austin, and they are clearly in love!

Lexi’s bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender Cabbage Roses, blush Peonies, purple Lilac, Baby’s Breath, ivory Roses, Lavender greenery, dusty blue Thistle and Eucalyptus in a teardrop cascade style bouquet. This bouquet was extra special because Lexi was able to give me a piece from her Mom’s and Grandma’s wedding dresses to wrap the handle of her bouquet.

The bridesmaid bouquets were round handtied style with the same flowers as the bridal bouquet. Lexi also ordered some small, loose flowers for her stylist to put in, the day of the wedding.

The wedding and reception took place at Hidden Meadow and Barn in Pepin, Wisconsin. The ceremony site had this amazing and huge arch. I created 2 large swags and a smaller piece to match the scale of the structure.

Erin was so amazing to work with! I had no idea what I was doing, but she made sure I had all the details necessary for my wedding flowers to make my wedding absolutely beautiful! She had great communication throughout the entire wedding planning process and listened to any feedback I had about my flowers to make sure they were exactly what I wanted. Thank you Erin!

The arch pieces did double-duty the day of the wedding and after the ceremony were moved to the reception area to decorate this beautiful fireplace.

Lexi didn’t shy away from a little DIY project. She sourced the garlands and vases for the tables and ordered loose stems from me so the whole look was cohesive.

I love this shot of their elegant cake with a custom topper. For this design, Lexi ordered loose flowers to be placed on the cake by the baker. I handed them over to, none other than my Mother-in-Law, designer and baker of this delicious and beautiful wedding cake.
