Sunflower Spotlight - Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s Thanksgiving week, and I thought it would be fun to spotlight Sunflowers! They are often a popular flower choice for fall arrangements because of their sunny color and how well they fit in with all the jewel tones. They’re also typically associated with fall (navy, burgundy, orange, emerald). If you love Sunflowers, custom silk wedding flowers are a great option to have since fresh Sunflowers are huge and not always in season. Let’s take a look at some bridal bouquets and matching bridesmaid bouquets to see a variety of ways that Sunflowers can be incorporated into different styles of bouquets.

I love this first look! It’s classic and classy with Sunflowers, white Roses, Baby’s Breath, a touch of black Skimmia Berries, mini Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in round handtied style bouquets. We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to only include Sunflowers and Baby’s Breath, but you can see how well it matches the bridal bouquet without being identical.

The texture in these next bouquets are pretty awesome! There is lots of color and variety in this modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet. It includes Sunflowers, burgundy Roses and Dahlia, red Peonies, dusty blue Delphinium, Baby’s Breath, white Heather, burgundy Lamb’s Ear, Blueberries, burgundy Amaranthus, and Ruscus. This has a very classic fall vibe without having too much of the harvest fest feel.

Here’s another modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet that incorporates Sunflowers, but for a very different feel! It has a some brighter tones that really allow the Sunflowers to pop! This custom silk bridal bouquet included dusty rose Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, blue Delphinium, Baby’s Breath, Fern, and Eucalyptus. It’s bright and playful but could work for a spring, summer or fall wedding! The smaller matching bouquet is actually the toss bouquet that incorporated the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet in clutch size. I added some ribbon tails for style as it got thrown to the waiting ladies.

The last set of custom silk flower arrangements has a moodier vibe with darker tones but touches of brightness. The bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with burgundy Roses and Dahlia, white Garden Roses, Sunflowers with burgundy centers, Baby’s Breath, white Heather, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Seeded Eucalyptus and sage mini Ruscus. The bridesmaid bouquet used the same mix of flowers but in a handtied style with lots of greenery.

Red, Black and Gold Renaissance Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Have you considered a themed wedding? Today’s custom silk wedding flowers are a great example of incorporating a theme, without going overboard. Lauren’s red, black and gold wedding was set at a Renaissance Fair, and I can’t wait for you to see it! We really wanted to complement her wedding dress and her groom’s attire. Let’s take a look at some photos from Kacy Hughes Photography from Lauren’s big day!!

Lauren’s wedding gown was a show stopper! With the red satin and gold overlay, it was the perfect look for Renaissance royalty! We wanted to incorporate her three wedding colors into the bouquet, with the red and gold being prominently featured. Her teardrop cascade bouquet featured red Garden Roses and Dahlia, burgundy Calla Lilies, black Skimmia Berries, gold Ruscus and black Feathers.

“I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did with the flowers. They matched our outfits and the aesthetic PERFECTLY! Once again, thank you so much for the wonderful work you did on our flowers. They were absolutely top-notch, and I’m looking forward to getting them shadowboxed so that we can forever keep them as decorative souvenirs.”
— Lauren | Arizona

The groom’s boutonniere was a red Garden Rose, black Skimmia Berries, gold Ruscus and black Feathers.

“I had my wedding at the Renaissance Festival and wanted to have silk flowers so that I could keep them for posterity. I found Erin online and she immediately got to work. She knocked this bouquet and the boutonniere out of the park! Quick, courteous, and responsive; highly recommend her!”
— Lauren | Arizona

The mothers wore pin on style corsages with a red Garden Rose, burgundy Calla Lily, black Skimmia Berries, gold Ruscus and gold ribbon.

Have you considered a Renaissance themed wedding? Or perhaps you’re wearing a wedding dress that you want your bridal bouquet to match? Silk flowers are a great option for styling ahead of time. You have the confidence of knowing your flowers will be exactly what you wanted for your big day, theme or no theme!

Awesome Altar Arrangements in Navy, Dusty Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Alec and Bailey were interested in seeing some flowers in person to be reassured of quality, style and that we were a good fit to work together. Since the majority of my business is done online, it was fun to sit down with them and hear their vision. I showed them some examples of flowers, we talked about color combinations, and we were able to take some selections and come up with a winning combination of flowers and greenery. Let’s take a look at their custom silk wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented Katie Lindgren!

Here’s our sweet bride, Bailey! Her bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with 1 navy Magnolia, a few navy Ranunculus, dusty blue Dogwood, white garden Roses, white Hydrangea, white Dahlia, Skimmia berries, white Seeds, Lamb's Ear, Seeded Eucalyptus and some mixed greenery that worked with the bridesmaid dress color. Bailey wanted her bouquet to feature navy and dusty blue, but for the bridesmaid bouquets to be all white with greenery.

In their lovely sage green dresses, the bridesmaid carried round handtied style bouquets with white Hydrangea, Dahlia, and  Roses, seeds, and the same mix of greenery as the bridal bouquet. I love how it makes the blue really stand out even more!

Look at this stunning altar! The filtered light through the windows, the warmth of the wood arch, it’s amazing! Because Alec and Bailey were local, we didn’t have to contend with shipping, so I was able to a little bigger and badder on their altar arrangement. The corner piece was a mix of navy Magnolia, Delphinium and small accent flowers, dusty blue Dogwood, white Dahlia, Hydrangea and Roses and lots of greenery. I also created a piece to go on the opposite beam that included white Roses, navy Ranunculus, dusty blue Dogwood and more greenery.

Moving on to the reception! They ordered custom centerpieces made to drop into vases that their venue provided. We went with the all white theme of Roses, Dahlia, Hydrangea and Seeds and went with just the Seeded Eucalyptus for greenery. It’s a classic look that goes with any space. And since these are silk flowers, they are reusable and ready for your next event or even for another bride to use!

“Erin was SO wonderful to work with for our wedding - I can’t recommend her enough! We went into the planning with a fairly open mind, as neither of us were well-versed in flower types or had a super specific vision at the time of our consultation. Erin is skilled at her craft and was able to make several suggestions with us being fairly open canvases, and she also showed us several examples of past work to help us decide what we’d like. She has a ton of flower types and colors at her disposal and is very willing to work with you to execute what you’re looking for. She was very flexible, communicative, and genuinely excited to help us make our day beautiful! Additionally, shortly before our wedding and after we’d placed our initial order, our layout changed a bit at the venue and we needed to add some additional arrangements last minute. Erin was super accommodating and let us know the additional ones wouldn’t be exactly the same but she’d make them as close as she could, and I honestly couldn’t even tell the difference! I also received several compliments on the arrangements at the wedding, especially for my bridal bouquet and the arch pieces - a few people even told me they couldn’t believe they were silk flowers! 10/10 would highly recommend!”
— Bailey | Minnesota

They are so many options of how to do cake florals! Alec and Bailey opted to do 3 small clusters to go on top and at the base of each layer for a simple but stylish look.

Love the look of white, navy and dusty blue? Here’s a few more examples of incorporating those colors into your custom silk wedding flowers:

-Navy, Dusty Blue and White Silk wedding Flowers

-Cinderella Blue in Destination Silk Wedding Flowers

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers with Navy-Reveal

, ,

Navy has been a hot color for the last few years, and it’s been a fun addition to custom silk wedding flowers in all seasons! Today’s wedding features navy with some more traditional fall colors-burgundy and gold. Sheldynn’s fall silk wedding flowers were a vibrant mix of colors, a variety of textures and shapes, but overall a really classic look. Let’s take a look at the photos from their talented photographers The Grotheers.

Here’s our happy couple! Sheldynn’s modified cascade bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, burgundy Peonies, Dahlia and Roses, navy Delphinium and Berries, white Heather and Baby’s Breath, burgundy Amaranthus and Lamb’s Ear and Ruscus for a pop of green. The groom’s boutonniere was a single burgundy Rose bud with Baby’s Breath, berries and Lamb’s Ear.

The bridesmaids were wearing these gorgeous halter dresses that were the perfect complement to the Peonies. Not to mention, they made all the other colors really stand out! Their bouquets were round handtied style with the same mix of flowers and greenery, including that touch of Amaranthus for a unique addition to their bouquets.

Such a classy looking group!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Vibrant Colors - Reveal and Double Review

, ,

Today’s feature is a lovely bridal bouquet recreation that was months in the making! Josiah contacted me about recreating his wife’s vibrant bouquet that was rich with texture and color. When Josiah first reached out, I wasn’t able to find everything I needed to get close enough to the original. Josiah didn’t give up on me and checked back in a few months later to see if I could find what I needed. I looked across various vendors and found great matches that he approved of. Let’s take a look at the bouquet compared to the original from the very talented Devin Ingersoll of Wild Meadow Floral!

Photo by Teresa Johnson

This stunning bouquet was a mix of Cabbage and Garden Roses, Dahlia, Ranunculus, Calla Lilies, Scabiosa, Thistle, Pink Berries, Silver Dollar, Seeded, and Gunni Eucalyptus. It had so much going on in the bouquet that any way you looked at it, you see a new and different type of flower or greenery. The original bouquet had burgundy chiffon ribbon with long tails. But for display purposes, I left the wrap simple and we didn’t include the tails.

“Erin did an incredible job recreating our bouquet, going out of her way to source the perfect fabric and materials to get the look just right. She even worked with our wedding florist to make sure that it matched exactly. I would work with her again. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Amazing craftmanship!”
— Josiah | Massachusetts

“I just wanted to say thank you SO much for recreating my beautiful bouquet! I am so happy I get to treasure it forever now. It is absolutely perfect. ”

Josiah and Lauren sent me this photo of the bouquet displayed in their beautiful new home.

Wine, Black and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Last week, I showed you Kasey’s lovely winter wedding flowers, and today, I wanted to show you how I can easily take a similar color scheme but give a very different look. Sydney’s custom silk wedding flowers incorporated almost the same color scheme as Kasey’s but as you’ll see had a style all their own. Let’s take a look at these awesome photos by Stephanie Lane Photo.

Sydney’s bridal bouquet was a dramatic modified cascade style with a mix of wine Roses, Zinnia and Dahlia, white Cosmos, Ranunculus and Anemone, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus and trailing burgundy Amaranthus to add the cascading effect. You can see what a great mix of textures and shades of wine and burgundy made it into her bouquet and we even got a touch of black with the centers of the Anemone.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquets with Zinnia, Dahlia, Amaranthus and a rose in burgundy, Anemone and Ranunculus in white and the same greenery as the bridal bouquet. Let’s take one more minute to appreciate Sydey’s stunning dress and then we can appreciate why it needed a bridal bouquet to match that high fashion!

“Our flowers were BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what I asked for (truly even better than what I imagined)! Looked so real and arranged in such a nice way :) Erin was on top of getting the flowers to us, and was very detailed in her work with us- checking in to see if her plans for the flowers fit what we wanted. Really awesome experience! Would recommend!”
— Sydney | Oklahoma

Burgundy, White and Green Winter Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I know it’s just newly spring, but if you looked around outside here in Minnesota, it still looks like a winter wonderland. So in the spirit of sucking it up, here’s a lovely winter wedding to share with you! Bride Kasey was looking for burgundy, white and green winter silk wedding flowers. I love to do winter bouquets because you can do some unique mixes of greenery, and it’s always a fun challenge to keep them from looking too Christmas-y. Kasey sent me some lovely photos by her very talented photographer Sapphire Heart Photography. Let’s take a look!

Kasey’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of white Garden and Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia and Astilbe, white Seeds, Dusty Miller, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Cedar. It was lush, a little wild, and perfect for her wedding day.

She wanted her bouquet to stand out from the rest, so for the bridesmaids we simplified the look to include only white Garden and Cabbage Roses with seeds and the same mix of greenery. They really popped against their dark green velvet dresses!

“Erin is amazing! Communicative, and punctual. She really takes the time to figure out exactly what you want. I recommend her to EVERYONE I know getting married. You will not be disappointed with her work! Just check the photos and you will see how incredible she is!”
— Kasey | Georgia

Burgundy and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Last week’s post featured a shade of blue that’s coming on the scene and picking up speed. Today, I want to share with you a wedding that features a tried and true combo: burgundy and navy blue! I’ve done quite a few weddings with this combination over the last few years as more and more couples chose navy instead of black for suits and tuxes. And today’s wedding is a great example of that. Let’s take a look at these very pretty images from Beauridge Photography.

Here’s my gorgeous bride Brittany who was so generous to share her pictures with me. Her loose, round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses and Dahlia, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus.

“Erin was amazing to work with. The flowers turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! She always stayed in contact with me throughout the process and she was super affordable. Several of my bridesmaids have their flowers displayed in their homes. I love that I can keep my bridal bouquet for years to come. Thank you Erin for everything!”
— Brittany | New Jersey

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same greenery, Baby’s breath and featured on burgundy Dahlia and one navy Ranunculus. It allowed Brittany’s bouquet to stand out even more!

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-burgundy-navy-bridesmaid-bouquets

The groom wore a boutonniere of a burgundy rose, navy Ranunculus and mixed greenery.

Brittany wanted some cake flowers and opted to order a loose assortment of flowers and greens for her baker to place on the cake. It is a great option if you are still decided on a topper or just want to have options!

Jewel Tone and Woodland Theme Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’m so excited to share Sarah’s beautiful woodland themed silk wedding flowers that had bright pops of color and jewel tones throughout. These amazing images are from the very talented JLA Photography out of Virginia. Let’s take a look at this special wedding day!

Sarah and her groom’s venue had wood tones throughout so she really wanted everything to pop against the backdrop while also complementing the berry pink bridesmaid dresses. Her inspiration photos had various types of flowers and colors and once we narrowed down which colors we wanted to include, we came up with a really striking combination for her bouquet. Sarah’s whimsical woodland bouquet was a loose handtied style with navy Delphinium, berry Peonies and Dahlia, spice orange Ranunculus, eggplant Poppies, blue Clematis, white seeds, trailing greenery, twigs and bright pink Lotus flowers. The Lotus had special meaning to Sarah and because she chose silk wedding flowers, I could actually make this happen. In nature, Lotus flowers grow in water, so cutting them and placing in a bouquet would mean they would wilt rather quickly.

“I stumbled upon the Love Is Blooming blog through a simple Google search and fell in love with the beautiful jewel tone creations by Erin. I knew I wanted something similar for my August 2022 wedding. Erin was extremely responsive, answering all my questions and providing thoughtful suggestions. She was able to stay within my budget and incorporated a woodland aesthetic to match our style. I enjoyed watching her creativity flow and she graciously included the personalizations I requested to make it one-of-a-kind.

The final result was a collection of flowers that had meaningful symbolism perfectly curated by Love Is Blooming. Similar flowers were used in the bouts, mother of the bride corsages and bridesmaid bouquets.
Magenta Peonies-love, honor, romance
Eggplant Poppies-consolation, remembrance
Spice Ranunculus-charm, having a crush
Navy Delphinium-cheerfulness & goodwill
Plum Dahlia-beauty, commitment, and kindness
Blue Clematis-ambition, aspiration
Pink Lotus- purity, rebirth, strength (my favorite flower and in honor of a dear therapy horse, Lotus, who passed in Dec. 2021)

Thank you, Erin, for the beautiful work!”
— Sarah | Virginia

I just love the way those dresses pop against all the greenery!

The bridesmaid carried complementary but very different bouquets from Sarah. She had previously bought some really pretty pre-made bouquets but they needed a little something special. I was able to add in a few more flowers to dress them up to match. The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of white and ivory peonies, roses and Dahlia. I found Tear Roses in a deep berry pink color that were a great match to the dresses. For a little more texture and color we also add in some pink Waxflower and finished with a little bit of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

Trying to figure out how to do a woodland theme without adding a Gnome to your bouquet? Silk flowers are the perfect way to find the right mix of flowers, be confident in the arrangements you’ll be carrying on your wedding day, and keep your budget in check.

Boho Chic Wedding with Sunflowers, Dusty Blue and Ivory - Reveal

, , ,

I am in love with the look of today’s featured wedding! Ashley had a specific vision for her wedding flowers and was able to really communicate that well as we hunted for the perfect flowers. Her colors were dusty blue, yellow, greenery and hints of ivory to match her dress. She wanted to incorporate a specific type of Dahlia, some Sunflowers, and Forget-Me-Nots in her cascading style bridal bouquet. I also added in Ranunculus, mini Sunflowers, Queen Anne’s Lace and a variety of greenery for a full, textured bouquet. Thanks to Kassandra Russell at Granite Stag Photography, we get to see some photos from this beautiful wedding day!

One of my favorite details from Ashley’s custom silk wedding flowers actually has nothing to do with me:) She added beautiful macrame wraps to each of the bridal party bouquets. They complemented her amazing lacey, crochet-look dress. This is a great example of how you can customize anything to make your silk wedding flowers completely unique, and completely you!

Here we get a little peak at the custom hair piece made to match Ashley’s bouquet. It pairs great with a veil, but can stand on its own too!

Here’s their awesome bridal party featuring attire in different shades of blue.

The bridesmaids carried round hand tied bouquets with a slightly different mix of flowers. Ashley wanted to incorporate Billy Buttons into their bouquets, and we left out the Dahlia and the Forget-Me-Nots to keep them as special elements for her bouquet. Their clutch style bouquets had a few Ranunculus, Sunflowers and Billy Buttons with the same greenery as the bridal bouquet.

“We love our florals! ...I am speechless! They’re beautiful! ”
— Ashley | Louisiana

The backdrop for their ceremony was stunning. Ashley wanted flowers for the arch that featured the Sunflowers and Dahlias and filled in with greenery. As you can see, they didn’t need to be big and bold because the woods were the main feature!

These simple centerpieces incorporated her flowers and colors in mini bouquets. Ashley had picked out vases on her end, so I created these mini bouquets to work with what she had. Another benefit of silk flowers is that I work with your needs to come up with budget friendly options that are beautiful!

I mean, we gotta show the puppies, right?

I thought this was the cutest shot to end with. Their sweet flower girls had flower crowns with some mini accent flowers and baby’s breath.

Cabernet, Blush, and Cream Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Bride Stephanie was a dream to work with last year and she was kind enough to send me some images from her big day! Let’s take a look at these photos of her custom silk bridal bouquet from Marquee Studio.

Stephanie’s bouquet was a mix of blush and wine Peonies, pinkish burgundy Dahlia, cream Dahlia and lots of Eucalyptus and Lamb’s Ear. It was a modified cascade style bouquet that was full, but not overpowering.

I love this picture of the guys! They are holding the bridesmaid bouquets that were the same mix as the bridal bouquet, just in smaller handtied style bouquets.

“A very delayed review from our winter wedding because I’ve been so overwhelmed by how beautifully everything turned out and I couldn’t pick favorite photos! Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was the best of both worlds - getting to lean on the expertise of a florist, with the longevity and lower stress (and less price fluctuation) of faux florals. She did an amazing job matching the bridesmaids dress color (azazie cabernet), and suggesting alternate colors for the groomsmen boutonnieres when we didn’t want to use all white flowers. Flowers arrived early and shipped well! Would absolutely recommend!”
— Stephanie | New Jersey

I love the look of joy on Stephanie’s face here! Thanks again to another wonderful client and for the photos from Marquee Studio.

Sunflower Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal

, ,

I’m writing this on the official first day of summer and today is July 4th, but I happen to be sharing an example of wedding flowers from a fall wedding, last year. Take note of the fact that these silk bridal and bridesmaid bouquets could easily fit into a summer wedding. The colors are bright and vibrant, with a lush look that could work for either season! These images are by the talented Dayna Quimby Photography.

The bridal bouquet was loose handtied mix of Sunflowers, burgundy Dahlia and Peonies, orange Dahlia and Ranunculus, yellow Heather and touch of navy Delphinium. I added a variety of greenery that worked so well with their outdoor ceremony site. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. We finished them all off with some burlap wrapped around the stems for a rustic touch.

I absolutely loved the detail on her wedding dress! And this back drop of a beautiful wooded area makes the dresses and flowers really pop!

Thanks again to my awesome bride, for her version of vibrant fall silk wedding flowers and to Dayna Quimby Photography for these lovely images. If you are looking for a different take on fall silk wedding flowers, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Blush and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Spring has sprung here in Minnesota, but the requests for burgundy flowers keep coming! So, I thought I’d share another gorgeous set of photos of silk bridal bouquets and wedding flowers sent in by a bride. Photos are by the very talented Jamie Dee!

This modified cascading bridal bouquet in custom silk wedding flowers was a mix of burgundy Dahlia, Roses and Amaranthus, blush pink Roses, white Roses, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

This bridal party looked amazingly classic in black tuxes and bridesmaid dresses. The dresses, especially, allowed those bouquets to really stand out!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of 3 burgundy Roses and a single white Rose with lots of Seeded Eucalyptus in a round handtied style.

Rust, Taupe, and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

Remember when I shared Tiara’s wedding flowers with you a few weeks ago? Her wedding flowers prominently featured taupe in her color scheme along with burgundy. Here’s another beautiful wedding that incorporated taupe along with rust, peach, burgundy and ivory in this gorgeous outdoor wedding.

A huge thank you to Lisa Sherwood Photography for these breathtaking photos!

The bridal bouquet was a combination of rust Roses, apricot Roses, peach Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia, taupe Roses and Orchids, sage Fern, Sword and Seeded Eucalyptus. Her bouquet was a full, moody, but lively round handtied style bridal bouquet.

Her altar was picture perfect, so we had just a few custom altar arrangements to complement that beautiful, natural backdrop for their day.

This fall wedding is a great example of another way to “do” fall flowers. We incorporated some of the favorite fall colors (burgundy and orange), but added some surprising elements like lots of texture and taupe flowers. If you are looking for a unique take on a seasonal look, silk wedding flowers might be just your thing! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist to share your ideas with me!

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 | Washington

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!

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, , ,

Feel free to scroll down to see the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages because they are pretty great. But, please, take a minute and feast your eyes on this altar arrangement! This might be the biggest, baddest silk wedding flower arrangement I’ve ever done. It was almost 4 feet wide and over 2 feet tall, plus the custom garlands for both sides. This mix of burgundy Dahlia and Peonies, blush Roses and Peonies, white Dogwood and Roses, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus was designing specifically for a fireplace mantel. And since I happen to have my very own fireplace mantel, I had the perfect place to model it!

So maybe you don’t have the need for a larger-than-life custom altar arrangement, but you are interested in custom silk wedding flowers and bouquets. These next photos should do the trick.

Peyton’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with most of the flowers you see above in a soft, romantic look.

The bridesmaid bouquets had just a hint of blush and burgundy in a round handtied style.

custom-silk-bridal-bouquet-wedding-flower-arrangements-boutonnieres-corsages

The boutonnieres and corsages were a variety of burgundy, blush, white and greenery. You can see below that all your personal flowers come labeled, making it super easy for whomever is doing the distribution to get them pinned to the correct person.

Winter Wonderland Blush Pink Silk Wedding Flowers

, , , ,

Earlier this week I showed you a white and green color palette that was so very romantic, but today I’m upping the romance ante’. I introduce you to Mike the wonder-husband! Mike was ordering the flowers as a surprise for his bride-to-be. He had a few inspiration photos but let me me make some creative suggestions as we worked together to come up with a truly custom look for January wedding.

This magnificent bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with tons of Dusty Miller, ivory Roses, blush pink Billy Buttons, blush pink Berries and a few large focal point flowers of “snow” covered Dahlia in blush pink. This bouquet was so dreamy, and so not your typical winter wedding bouquet. We left out the green and red and even the evergreen branches typical of this season.

Mike ordered two pin on corsages for his fiancee’s daughters to wear and went simple for his groom’s boutonniere with an ivory Rose, Berries, and Dusty Miller.

They planned to have a small reception at a restaurant in downtown Minneapolis and he wanted a custom centerpiece for each table. Rather than a solid vase, Mike had the great idea to do clear vases with fake snow in them. It was a charming way to embrace the time of year here in the Twin Cities.

Rustic Burgundy and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, ,

Paige was an awesome bride to work with. She had been planning her wedding right along when COVID did its thing and made plans for her. Paige called me to tell me that her December wedding was being moved up to October! Since silk wedding flowers keep forever, it was no problem at all! I had everything on hand and got to work on her custom silk bridal bouquet and wedding flowers in burgundy and navy.

Paige’s silk bridal bouquet was in the round hand-tied style. If you aren’t familiar with that term, it simply means it is not a tight ball, has some pieces that stick out and the stems are visible underneath the bouquet. We used ivory Roses, burgundy Dahlia, navy Ranunculus, Lamb’s Ear, Baby’s Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus in her designs. Since she wanted a rustic but romantic look, I wrapped the stems with burlap and lace. Perfect for her East Coast wedding!

Paige wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to feature more greenery and less flowers. There was one large burgundy Dahlia and a bud, Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear, and Seeded Eucalyptus. I matched the same shape of the bouquet, round handtied, and added the same burlap and lace on the stems.

Paige’s boutonnieres were a great example of varying the styles for the different “categories” of guys (groom, groomsmen, dads, etc.) but still keeping the designs cohesive. For the groom’s boutonniere we switched things up and used a burgundy Rose with Baby’s Breath and Lamb’s Ear. The groomsmen had Baby’s Breath, a Dahlia bud and Seeded Eucalyptus. And the dads had an ivory Rose, Baby’s Breath and Lamb’s Ear. I used a burlap ribbon to finish them off to incorporate that same touch of rustic.

The mothers’ wrist corsages were ivory Roses a small burgundy Mum (to mimic the look of a Dahlia but smaller), Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and a small spray of rhinestones.

“Erin was absolutely amazing to work with and her flower work is phenomenal. The bouquets turned out beautiful and were perfect for our wedding. I recommend her for any of your flower needs!”

Blush, Burgundy, Berry, Beautiful Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Becky’s blush, burgundy, berry and beautiful silk wedding flowers were not just a dream alliteration, they were dreamy custom silk flowers and bridal bouquets!

Her modified cascade bridal bouquet was a combination of blush and cream Cabbage Roses, raspberry Calla Lilies, burgundy Calla Lilies, white Dahlia, white Roses, burgundy Seeds, Lamb’s Ear, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaid bouquets were a similar mix of flowers, but in a handtied style and without the raspberry Callas. Those we kept for just the bridal bouquet.

Becky also wanted a flower crown for her flower girl. I used a mix of all her colors in smaller scale accent flowers based on a crown of white Baby’s Breath.

Custom Wedding Flowers to Complement Wisteria Bridesmaid Dresses

, , ,

This is my fourth wedding in the last 9 months where Wisteria was the main wedding color. When bridesmaids are wearing Wisteria dresses, you want colors that complement them without being too matchy-matchy. Rachel’s wedding flowers were a fun challenge because she wanted to incorporate some mauve and blush pink for a soft romantic look. We decided her silk bridal bouquet was the perfect place for that.

This modified cascading bridal bouquet had ivory Roses, ivory Dahlia, ivory Ranunculus, mauve Roses, blush pink Tulips, blush pink Seedum, plum Heather, Fern, Smilax and Ivy with Antique White satin ribbon.

The bridesmaid bouquets were quite a bit different from the bridal bouquet. The base of the bouquet was Hydrangea for a nice full look, a single ivory Dahlia, cream mini Tulips with a collar of plum Heather and Smilax. They were finished off with Antique White ribbon.

The toss bouquet was a mix between both styles of bouquets with ivory Roses and Hydrangea, mauve Roses, plum Heather, Smilax and a touch of Fern. I added the Antique White ribbon and some tails because they look good flying through the air.
