Tomorrow is the official first day of winter, but it’s been cold and snowy here in Minnesota for a few weeks already. I shared some more summer-y flowers last week, so I thought I better give custom winter wedding flowers some space on the blog, since there’s not much left of this December!
Meghan hired me to create custom silk wedding flowers for her upcoming New Year’s Eve wedding. I wanted to give her the rich colors of a winter theme without it looking like Christmas. Let’s start with her modified cascade silk bridal bouquet.
Meghan’s bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses and Peonies, white Ranunculus, a few Pinecones, Cedar boughs, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and gray Dusty Miller. The asymmetrical cascade is going to look good at any angle your photographer decides to shoot from.
The bridesmaid clutch bouquets were a simple mix of a single burgundy Peony, a few Ranunculus, Dusty Miller and a mix of the greenery in that same loose handtied style.
“I had the BEST experience working with Erin! I only had the vaguest idea of what I was looking for for my New Year’s Eve wedding and she brought such elegant creativity to my wedding preparations. She was so patient with all my questions, provided photos throughout the process, and was all around a pleasure. Her talent and skill is obvious and she is the most affordable silk flower florist I have encountered. The bouquets were delivered with the utmost care in packaging they look stunningly real. Thank you, Erin!”
The groom’s boutonniere was a burgundy Rose, white Ranunculus and greenery, tied off with matching black ribbon.
