Fall Silk Wedding Flowers in the Mountains - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I am thrilled to be able to share Ally’s beautiful custom silk wedding flowers from her fall wedding near Mt. Hood, Washington. Not only is she stunning, but the backdrop for her wedding is to die for! Take a look at these amazing photos from Terra Lange Photography.

Ally’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of yellow Peonies, burgundy Peonies, orange Dahlia, orange Cosmos, burgundy berries, sage Fern, twigs, Seeded Eucalyptus, Cynara pods and Magnolia greenery. It was textured and lush and full and perfect for an outdoor wedding.

One of the things I loved about working with Ally is that every idea she had was well thought out. Her bridesmaids were wearing these glamorous velvet-y dresses in 3 different jewel tones, and she wanted simple hoop bouquets to complement them. We choose just a few of the flowers and greens for the gold metal hoop bouquets for a modern but classy take on bridesmaid bouquets.

Not to be left out, her flower girls each carried smaller versions of the hoop bouquets

“I was looking for flowers that looked real, and would last forever as I wanted to use them in my home after the wedding. I’m so glad I found love is blooming. They came out absolutely beautifully! She helped me pick flowers and greenery based of my limited knowledge and color scheme. She was very easy to work with and responsive and was also very kind and patient with me. The shipping was timely and the finished product was exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely hire again.”

Ally used a combination of custom silk wedding altar pieces for her unique round altar and fresh fall flowers and pumpkins. The draped fabric added such texture and softness!

Green and White Winter Wedding - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today, I get to share bride Melisa’s green and white winter wedding flowers. She lives in my neck of the woods which made it extra fun. I work with brides all over the country, so when I get a local bride, it’s extra special because I get to meet them in person when they pick up their flowers!

(“Wait, I don’t get to see my flowers beforehand?” Fear not, happy bride, you do! I send photos during the production process so you get to see how they are coming along. That way, when you pick them up, or open your box, there are no surprises…of the bad kind anyways.)

Back to Melisa’s flowers! These amazing photos are by the very talented Eric Vest Photography. If you are a Twin Cities resident, check him out for your upcoming wedding!

Here is our beautiful bride Melisa. And brave might I add for taking outdoor photos during a Minnesota winter! Her round handtied bridal bouquet was a mix of Roses, Ranunculus, Dusty Miller and Boxwood greens. It was simple, elegant, and gave winter vibes without being too on-the-nose.

The groom’s boutonniere was a Ranunculus, greens and Dusty Miller.

“Erin was super easy to work with. I felt a lot of relief knowing that I’d get to see the flowers along the way, although Erin was amazing at understanding my vision and I didn’t need any revisions! I would highly recommend her, everything turned out better than imagined and pricing was very reasonable!”

We kept things cohesive with the bridal party and made smaller versions of the bridal bouquet for the bridesmaids to carry and stuck with a Ranunculus and greens for the groomsmen. Slight differences set apart the bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere, but sometimes that’s all you need!

I love the way Melisa is looking at her new husband!

Melisa’s friend had gotten married at this venue not long before her, so she knew what décor would look good there. She helped me design this 90” long garland for the mantel of the fireplace. It incorporated the same Boxwood greenery along with a mix of white Garden and Spray Roses.

The venue provided simple vases for centerpieces and Melisa had another great idea to do a simple ring of greenery and roses to tie it all together. It was a great way to brighten up the tables without taking anything away from the romantic glow of the candles.

One of the things I always recommend to brides who need to stretch their décor: purchase vases that your bouquets can just drop into and use them at the head table (like Melisa did) or around your reception area. Some other great places to have your bouquets do double duty are the cake table, gift table, cocktail tables, or if you have a smaller amount of guests, use them as your centerpieces!

Thanks again to Eric Vest Photography for his excellent work. If you have a winter wedding but aren’t into some of the more traditional accents, let’s talk about how to make it happen. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!
