Dark Purple Silk Wedding Flowers

Winett contacted me several months ago for her May 2019 wedding. We had lots of time to work on ideas, but she was eager to get it figured it out and check it off the list. So even though I’m writing this in November, her silk wedding flowers have been finished for about a week-Christmas is coming early for Winett!

As you may know, or maybe you don’t, purple is one of the hardest colors to work with. It can border on being pink, or red, or blue. So one of my approaches is to use a variety of shades for both an interesting and non-clashy look.

Winett knew she wanted to incorporate orchids, specifically Dendrobiums, so I hunted until I found the perfect ones. I then made some suggestions to include other orchids, Calla Lilies, Anemone, Sweet Pea and another type of Lily. Winett loves her flowers and so do I!

Winett kept her flowers simple and instead of giving boutonnieres and corsages out, she kept to her main girls: the bridesmaids and the flower girls. Below you can see a bouquet and pomander for her flower girls. We kept the same color scheme but switched up some of the flowers.

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Most bride's loved their bouquets. Most bride's never saw their beautiful bouquet again once the wedding was over. There are processes to preserve a bouquet, but let's be honest they won't have those same vibrant colors as they did on your big day.

One of the best parts of recreating a bridal bouquet in silk flowers is that you get the benefit of an artistic eye hunting down the flowers that made your bridal bouquet unique and lovely. And while not every detail may be an exact duplicate (I'm still working on my cloning machine), it will bring the spirit and style, colors and elegance that it did the day you walked down that aisle. Here's an example of what it looks like to have your bouquet recreated.

I included all the elements from her original bouquet with a new style of wrap that she picked out herself. Now Sabrina has a beautiful reminder of her wedding day.

“Since I had a destination wedding, I didn’t get to keep my bouquet, which I loved. On my four-year anniversary, my husband told me to find someone to recreate the bouquet as a keepsake. After doing a lot of research, I came across Erin’s website, and could tell she really cared about her work. I was right! She knew just what questions to ask, and after I sent a few pictures, all I had to do was sit back and wait - not very long, either! My bouquet was not the typical white roses, and it even had some flowers I didn’t know the names of. But Erin did and had no problem acquiring them for the bouquet. I LOVE the recreated bouquet. It not only looks real, it looks exactly like my original wedding bouquet. Thank you, Erin!”
