Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Over the last 20 years of business, I have worked some amazing clients, including many moms! Today is an example of how mom Celeste did the footwork to communicate with me on behalf of her daughter, Madyson, to come up with Madyson’s dream custom silk wedding flowers! Celeste did a great job finding out what Madyson wanted in her wedding flowers and then communicating those wishes to me. I was able to send options and ideas that got passed along. And while having go-between has the risk of something getting lost in translation, Celeste was so great and it all went flawlessly! I say all this to encourage those moms, sisters, maids of honor or grooms who have been tasked with making arrangements on behalf of someone else-we got this!

Now let’s take a look at some beautiful shots from two very talented photographers! Payton Boyd Photography captured Madyson’s beautiful bridal portraits and you can find her @paytonboydphotography on Instagram. Taylor Hart Photography was there for the big day. You can also find her at @taylorhartphoto on Instagram.

Here’s our lovely bride, Madyson, in her bridal portraits by @paytonboydphotography. She had seen this blog post from a few years ago and loved the arrangements and with a few tweaks I recreated the look for her. Her cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy and orange Dahlia, ivory Hydrangea, blueberries, burgundy Lamb's Ear, Seeded Eucalyptus, Sage Fern, and frosted sage Greenery. It was full and textural and perfect for a fall wedding!

I wanted to feature their main colors in the boutonnieres, but the Dahlia were too large for a lapel. I found a matching orange Rose and added in some blueberries, burgundy Lambs’ ear and sage greenery for this classic rose boutonniere.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets with one stem of each of the featured bridal flowers and a small mix of the greenery. One of Madyson’s main colors was teal and her bouquets looked great for an overall jewel themed look!

When I had finished up all the bouquets and boutonnieres, I sent over the final photos to Celeste to get approval from Madyson. Celeste asked me about altar arrangements for the ceremony arch. I came up designs that matched the bouquets, and we added those two pieces to the order before shipping and final invoicing. One of the perks of custom silk wedding flowers is that you know what you are getting ahead of time. Having your flowers done and ready for you weeks, or months, in advance gives me time to take care of any last minute additions.

Took a chance on this vendor and couldn’t have been happier with the product. I’m in Louisiana and shipping and communication during the process made this process super easy! The flowers were beautiful and very high quality. Also, you won’t be able to beat her prices. We got so many compliments on the flowers. I would definitely use Love is Blooming again!

Blush, Dusty Pink, Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

Today’s wedding is a really pretty combination of blush, dusty pink, blue and white silk wedding flowers. As you’ll see from the photos that bride Emily sent me, this was a soft romantic color palette that worked great for her outdoor wedding. Let’s take a look at the photos she sent me from her amazing photographer Brandi Doleman.

Emily’s bouquet was a unique style in that we slightly modified a modified cascade style. She didn’t quite want a teardrop shape, but not as round as a modified cascade. Her bouquet was composed of white, nude, and dusty pink Roses, blush pink Peonies, blue Astilbe and Thistle, Stephanotis, Orchids, white Heather, beige Baby’s Breath, Willow and Eucalyptus. Here bridesmaids were wearing a variety of these colors and she wanted to include them in her bouquet. It tied everything together so nicely!

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquet with the same mix of the bridal flowers. One of the bouquets was actually for an attendant on the groom’s side, so we included a bit more of the blue accents in her bouquet to match the guys more closely. It was an easy tweak to the design so that it set it apart but still matched with the bridesmaids.

Erin is SO sweet to work with and VERY prompt with communication and getting everything situated and organized! She is super easy to talk to and very accommodating if you have a particular idea in mind! The wedding flowers were everything I would’ve dreamed of and were just absolutely perfect! I couldn’t have been happier! I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your floral needs!

Berry, Purple, Peach and Pink Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I am SO excited to share a wedding today that accomplished the feat of being bright and moody! Marissa’s custom silk wedding flowers had pops of bright tones in berry purple, peach and pink, but at the same time had depth and texture and greenery that kept it toned down. When you put the flowers against a beautiful natural backdrop like they had, it was perfect! Let’s take a look at these amazing photos by Mountain Meandering Photography.

Marissa’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of berry Dahlia, peach Cabbage Roses, magenta Peony, peach and plum Ranunculus, berry Tea Roses, Willow greens, Olive greens, pink Waxflower, bright pink Carnation, watermelon and burgundy roses. When it was put together, Marissa made a few tweaks of flower placement and then gave her stamp of approval!

The bridesmaids wore the most gorgeous shade of berry pink, not too bright and not too purple. They carried clutch style bouquets with a mix of magenta Peonies, berry Tea Roses and peach Ranunculus and greenery

The guys wore flowers that were featured in the bouquets with the groom wearing a berry Tea Rose with touches of magenta and peach and the groomsmen wore peach Ranunculus with a tiny bit of Waxflower. The littlest guy, the ringbearer had a Tea Rose bud and Waxflower.

Erin did such an amazing job making my wedding flowers. I know it may seem a little nerve-racking ordering wedding flowers online, but Erin was so helpful during the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with how my bouquet turned out. And the best part is, it will stay beautiful forever! I highly recommend having silk flowers for your wedding, especially from Love is Blooming! Thanks again so much.

Some of my favorite detail shots from her wedding day! Don’t you love the lacey look to her dress? And all the bling from her shoes and jewelry? Stunning!

A huge thank you to Marissa for sharing her wedding day photos with me so I can share them with you! Are you looking for a similar combination of bright and moody? Then let’s talk flowers!

White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Last fall, I did a series on white silk wedding flowers with greenery. I had shared these wedding flowers that I photographed on my dining room table and it just didn’t do them justice! Let’s take a look at Rachel’s delicate white silk flower bouquets in these gorgeous images from Liv Naturally Photography.

Rachel’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with Lily of the Valley, Baby’s Breath and Stephanotis with Lamb’s Ear, Olive greenery and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The we simplified the bridesmaids to be more of a clutch size bouquet with Baby’s Breath, Lily of the Valley, Stephanotis and just a touch of greenery. It was a perfect look to go with their sage green dresses.

Rachel’s mom, Jill, was actually the one I primarily worked with to design and bring Rachel’s vision to life for her Duluth wedding.

Erin was so great to work with. We provided lots of information and pictures of what my daughter wanted for her wedding flowers, and Erin hit it out of the ballpark! She kept us updated, and provided photos along the way, to be sure my daughter was happy with the look. But, when we received them they were so much more beautiful than the pictures depicted. My daughter is petite (read, short :-)) and she didn’t want something that would overwhelm and cover her up too much and Erin really listened and payed attention to all the details. Thank you so much for your part in making my daughter’s wedding such a beautiful day in May!!

Silk Bridesmaid Bouquets in White and Blush

These cute little clutch bridesmaid bouquets came from a local bride who was keeping things simple. She was doing a fresh flower bouquet for herself, but wanted silk bridesmaid bouquets. She sent me inspiration photo, I sent some suggestions back to her and VOILA!

Her colors were white and blush, so used a single blush rose and white roses along with some Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. Her original inspiration photo didn’t have it, but I thought they needed a little texture so had suggested some smaller mixed greens and blush seeds to give it depth and interest.

Whether you need just a single bouquet or alllllll the flowers, silk wedding flowers are a great option. You get custom designs and high end looks without the high end price. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today to get a free quote!

White Silk Wedding Flowers with Greenery- Part 2 Larger Scale Blooms

Earlier this week, I showed you some white silk wedding flowers with greenery that had a delicate, almost lacy look. Today is about impact and contrast! These weddings flowers and bridal bouquet used larger scale blooms to fill out the bouquets. The added greenery really stood out against all the white for an eye-catching look!

The bridal bouquet was a round ball style bouquet with white Roses and Tulips and a mix of Columnea Fern, Ficus and Rose Greens.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. All bouquets were wrapped with white satin ribbon.

The toss bouquet was a clutch size version of the bridal bouquet with just a few roses and tulips with a touch of greenery.

The boutonnieres were very clean and classy white tulips and spray roses with the same greenery and ribbon.

Real Wedding: Jessica & Matt- Part 2

Jessica and I worked closely to come up with her perfect bouquet. We talked a lot over e-mail being that she was in Texas, I am in Minnesota and the wedding was in Indiana. She liked the rich colors of a fall color palette and decided on gold callas and orange tiger lilies. The tiger lilies actually held a special place in her heart as they were in her garden growing up. Her loosely gathered bouquet was meant to reflect those memories and also her unique style. With all that said...ta-da!


I love the shimmery sage dresses paired with the orange. Very chic!

A closer look at the girls' bouquets.

This presentation/clutch bouquet is so popular right now, and so easy to tweak and make it your own!
