Red, Peach, Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

I have been WAITING for this day to share Brandi and Troy’s STUNNING red, peach, pink and white silk wedding flowers. There is a touch of everything in these wedding florals including tropical, romantic, lush, and even a little art deco. AND WAIT TIL YOU SEE THEIR CAKE! Have I communicated my excitement enough yet? Thanks to Jennifer Juniper Photography for telling the story of Brandi and Troy’s wedding day so well!

Here’s our happy couple! They wanted everything to be packed with meaning for their big day, so I wanted to make sure the flowers were on par with everything else. Brandi’s modified cascade bouquet was a mix of peach cabbage roses, off white orchids, deep red ranunculus, peach ranunculus, red poppy, burgundy roses, red Freesia, burgundy Dahlia, bright pink roses, salmon ranunculus and rose pink Ranunculus.

What I enjoyed about looking through all these images is that everyone’s personality is so evident! They not only took into account their own personalities, but the personalities of their friends and family.

Their wedding took place at the Maitland Art Center and the setting was not only unique but just breathtakingly gorgeous. The pieces I created for the ceremony and reception sites needed to match the grandeur, and the style of our couple. Let’s take a look!

I created custom altar arrangements that incorporate a lot of the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in pieces that added some drama and color to the back drop.

Next up is the cake! Brandi sent me an inspiration photo and wanted two custom pieces to drape up and down the layers.

With such a beautiful venue, smaller centerpieces was the perfect choice! I made a few different types and Brandi had containers already picked out and ready to go. I made the centerpieces “bouquet” style, meaning they were ready to just drop in the vases!

Here’s a few more photos of our awesome couple!

Brandi shared this awesome video of Troy’s band, The Edge Effect, singing during the ceremony.

What a joy it is for me to get to be a part of the wedding of so many special couples. Are you looking for showstopping flower arrangements? Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to talk about design ideas!

Burgundy and Blush Centerpieces and Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Here’s another great example of burgundy and blush silk wedding flowers. And if you check back later this week, you’ll get to see these babies in action!

Samantha really loved the Amaranthus seen in some of my other weddings so we found a great way to work it into not only her bridal bouquet, but the centerpieces for her reception. Amaranthus is really quite a statement “flower” and is so unique because of the shape and the texture. It’s the perfect addition to a modified cascading bridal bouquet like Samantha’s.

Roses, Dahlia, Amaranthus, Cherry Blossom, Lamb’s Ear, Seeded Eucalyptus

For the centerpieces, I designed two different styles. Both included ivory and blush roses, seeded Eucalyptus, dyed Pine Branch and Amaranthus. One style had ivory Amaranthus like the photo below and the other had burgundy Amaranthus. They sat very regally atop Eiffel Tower Vases at a height that made ya look, but didn’t get in the way of guests conversing across the tables.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets with the same flowers, minus the Amaranthus in loose, handtied styles. One thing to be aware of when you choose asymmetrical and looser style bouquets is that each one will be slightly different. Part of that is because they are handmade, and part of that is because some flowers will lay a little differently when spread out from the rest.

Later this week, I’ve got photos from Samantha and her talented photographer to share with you. What are you thinking of this modified cascade style bridal bouquet? If you think it would be a good fit for you, contact me today to see if it will fit with your style!

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

Burgundy and Blush might have been someone’s million dollar idea this year. Even though I don’t know who decided it would be a hot color combo for bridal bouquets this year, I do know that I’ve loved all the different designs that have come out of it for silk wedding flowers here in my corner of Minnesota.

Anna wanted mostly the wine/burgundy in her bouquets with just a hint of blush. Her bridal bouquet was the modified cascade style draping, texture, and saturated colors. Basically she had a dreamy, romantic bridal bouquet with Dahlia, Calla Lilies, Cherry Blossom, Ranunculus, Babys’ Breath, and Eucalyptus. All the bouquets were finished up with a lovely burlap with lace overlay. It added to the rustic charm that Anna was hoping for.

The bridesmaids carried similar style bouquets with some slight changes that would allow the bridal bouquet to stand out a little more. The toss bouquet had the same variety of flowers as the bridal bouquet, just smaller and more throwable…throwier…aerodynamic!

Bridesmaid and Toss Bouquet

Here are some of the boutonnieres using the every classic and trust-worthy Calla Lily in a dark burgundy. These guys never let you down on your wedding day, especially because they are silk and you never have to worry about them getting crushed in all those bro-hugs or wilting in our unpredictable Minnesota weather.

Maybe you didn’t come up with this winning color combination, but you definitely want to use it in your own wedding. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist to get a quote and get the design process started with me!

Custom Over-sized Centerpiece Silk Wedding Flowers for Minneapolis Golf Club

I recently had the opportunity to create an awesomely oversized custom centerpiece for the Minneapolis Golf Club made from silk wedding flowers. They were looking to have a versatile piece to grace their cocktail and hors d’oeuvres area that was neutral enough to work with any season. But neutral doesn’t mean uninteresting!

This baby is a showstopper at just about 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. I arranged a variety of white and ivory flowers: Ranunculus, Roses, Phalaenopsis Orchids, Hydrangea, Dogwood, and Cherry Blossoms. There was also just a hint of blush pink from the Cherry Blossoms that gave it a softer touch. They wanted some interesting elements that would add some texture so I added in cream Amaranthus, some dusty Greenery and Willow Branches.

Take a look at this beautiful custom centerpiece in it’s new home.
