Bold and Bright Spring Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s bride, Kimberly, filled out the Free Bride’s Checklist and also included links to bouquets that had caught her eye. What I noticed right away were the bright colors, varying textures of the flowers and sunflowers! I got a little excited about her designs and sent her a bunch of ideas. Then, I looked at everything a second time and sent her a whole bunch more options. What we landed on is bold, bright and a little spunky. Let’s take a look at the professional wedding photos by Amy Galimore Photography

Kimberly’s bouquet was a loose and lush round handtied style bouquet with sunflowers, purple Hydrangea, magenta Cabbage Roses, orange and pink Ranunculus, blue Prunus, orange Cosmos, blue Dogwood, yellow Freesia, lavender seeds, and light green Roses. You almost have to look at it twice to see everything that’s in there!

The groom’s boutonniere was a mini Sunflower, purple Hydrangea, and pink and orange Ranunculus. We tied it off with twine to have a similar texture to the burlap that all the bouquets were wrapped with.

The lovely bridesmaids wore purple dresses and those bright tones really popped against such a rich backdrop!

“Erin did a fantastic job with the flowers for my wedding! She was quick to respond and came up with beautiful combinations! She incorporated everything I asked for and more! Highly recommend!”

Kimberly also wanted to incorporate matching florals to the large arbor for their outdoor ceremony. She opted for two altar arrangements to attach to the sides of the arbor. The swags matched the bridal bouquet flowers on a bed of eucalyptus.

Yellow, Dusty Blue and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I really love today’s set of photos that I get to share with you. Zephyr’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of yellow, dusty blue and ivory. We had a plan for her bouquet when she placed her order and then she saw Lexi’s bridal bouquet and liked the shape and look so much that we decided to use that as the inspiration for her bouquet. Let’s take a look at the beautiful images from Photographs by Julie. And if you want, you can find her here on Facebook.

Zephyr’s bouquet was a mix of yellow Roses, blue Dogwood and Hydrangea, ivory Cabbage Roses and Anemone with ivy and greenery. Look at the train on her dress! Doesn’t she look stunning??

“Erin is AMAZING! She made all of the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres! She is the kindest most thoughtful vendor and you won’t regret it!!”
— Zephyr | Pennsylvania

I’m loving the trend of dusty blue, it’s moody and classic and perfect for a variety of seasons.

Thanks again to Zephyr for sharing photos of her big day and to Photographs by Julie for her amazing photos.

Modified Cascade Silk Bridal Bouquet Review

One of my favorite all time silk bridal bouquets was Lexi’s Whimsical modified cascade style bridal bouquet. It was big, bold, interesting, colorful, textural, romantic…seriously, I could go on and on about it! So when Lexi sent me some photos from her wedding day, I was so excited to share them with you! Be sure and check out their photographer, Korey J. Smith Cinematography, if you are looking for a highly talented photographer in Utah.

Wedding flowers don’t often get the consideration of scale. But can you imagine if Lexi’s bouquet had been any smaller? The enormity of the architecture around this gorgeous couple would have made a smaller bouquet disappear!

What magazine should this appear in first?? It’s a piece of art!

“Working with Erin was my favorite experience in planning my wedding. I had found this picture on pinterest and kept coming back to it. I knew there was no way to recreate what I saw in this picture, or so I thought. When I showed the picture to Erin she was confident we could create it. It was so much fun, designing and creating this bouquet. With being out of state and working fully online with her, I was so impressed with how quick her turn around was. She literally found the most beautiful flowers I could have ever picked to create this dream bouquet! When she sent me images of the final product, I could not wait! When everything arrived, I was even more impressed with Erin and her work. Having everything shipped across the country also was so easy. I could tell when everything arrived, that she took such great care in creating my wedding bouquet as well as all of the other flowers I had purchased for the wedding. The day of our wedding was perfect, what was the best part was holding this beautiful bouquet of flowers! Having a summer wedding, the worry of your flowers not making it can be stressful. However, with Erin’s silk bouquet I did not have to worry! I was just able to stand tall and beautiful grinning ear to ear with the man I love and the most gorgeous flowers I have ever seen!

Still almost a year later my flowers look immaculate! I am so happy I found Erin and Love is Blooming to make the most perfect wedding bouquet for my most perfect day! ”
— Lexi | Utah

I love seeing action shots of the flowers and aren’t these flower girls the cutest?!

These portraits of the couple are just so good!

Whimsical Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

One of my new favorite finds over on Instagram is following people that make dollhouses (I’ve always loved miniature things, and I’m proud of it). What’s so amazing about them is that in some of the photos you can’t tell it’s a dollhouse! Keep that in mind when I show you this silk bridal bouquet because sometimes photos don’t give an accurate picture of the size of something. In this case, this baby is actually much bigger than the photo does it justice. Stretching almost 2.5 feet wide, this whimsical silk bridal bouquet was absolutely breathtaking. Lexi worked closely with me to nail down the specific colors she wanted in the bouquet. I worked with her requests and a few style photos she sent to come up with this design. Behold!

Here’s the rundown of what went into this showstopper:

-Ranunculus in white and coral
-Roses in mauve
-Peonies in hot pink and yellow
-Dogwood in dusty blue
-Freesia in white and red
-Skimmia berries in dark blue
-Fall berries in burnt orange
-Fern and ficus greenery

The bridesmaid bouquets were much more typical sized and had less of a variety of the flowers from the bridal bouquet. These summer bouquets were magical and I can only imagine how amazing they would look for spring, summer or even fall!

Lexi wanted to include her flower girls in the grand scheme of her floral designs so I came up with these sweet little floral crowns that matched the bridal bouquet and added some brightness to their aisle walk. Thanks to my daughter for being a willing model;)

If you’ve been looking for a little whimsy in your wedding flowers, or perhaps a less common shape like Lexi’s bouquet, silk flowers are where it’s at. If we don’t get the shape quite right, we can make adjustments so there are no surprises on your wedding day. Well at least no floral surprises. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote!

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.

Blush, Sage and Charcoal Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

,

Each time I make a new set of silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquets, especially the ones where the design is 100% from the depths of my right brain, they instantly become my favorite. I mean, I love all the flowers I create, but there are some that turn out so dreamy that I remember them long after I hand them over to my bride’s. On that note, I give you…

Exhibit A:

Angie’s flowers were a combination of softness, classic beauty, romantic colors, interesting textures and were just so dang pretty! There were Roses and Peonies and Dogwood and Lamb’s ear and Smilax and the best Charcoal satin ribbon you can find. *Sigh*

Angie’s bridal bouquet had more of the classic cascading shape, but but not keeping the flowers too tightly together and loosening up the shape with greenery it didn’t look as formal as a traditional cascade bouquet. It was a perfect fit for their outdoor wedding.

The bridesmaid, flower girl and toss bouquets used all the same flowers, but we switched it to a more round/handtied style.

The boutonnieres and corsages incorporated the same flowers and greenery with that classy charcoal ribbon.
