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.

Dusty Pink, Blush and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

Last week, the featured silk wedding flowers showed a very similar color scheme as today’s wedding with bride Kelsey. But you can see that despite similar colors, these custom silk wedding flower arrangements are a totally different vibe! Not only did we deepen up the pinks to include a dusty rose pink, but there are touches of beige and some dustier greenery. Thanks to these photos by Danielle Christensen Photography, we are going to get a good look at Kelsey’s custom silk bridal bouquet in dusty pink, blush and white.

Here’s our awesome couple and with attire like theirs, I only want complement and not take away. Kelsey’s teardrop cascade style bouquet was a mix of white Roses, dusty pink Roses, dusty pink Peonies, beige Baby's Breath, white Seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus and some smaller greens mixed in.

In this close up shot to the left, you can see the beautiful texture of her dress which blended perfectly with the texture in her bouquet. We kept the groom’s boutonniere simple with a dusty pink Rose, beige Baby’s Breath and some greenery.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquet with a few white roses, a dusty pink Rose, a dusty pink Peony, Seeds, beige Baby's Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus. They were a perfect match to the bridal bouquet without being overpowering. Plus they looked great up against those stunning pale pink dresses!

Kelsey wanted to add a swag for her sweetheart table which was a nice touch to tie all the floral arrangements together from the ceremony to the reception. This low swag provided a background for their Mr. & Mrs. signs and brought some color to their stunning white set up.

Blush, Dusty Pink, Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding is a really pretty combination of blush, dusty pink, blue and white silk wedding flowers. As you’ll see from the photos that bride Emily sent me, this was a soft romantic color palette that worked great for her outdoor wedding. Let’s take a look at the photos she sent me from her amazing photographer Brandi Doleman.

Emily’s bouquet was a unique style in that we slightly modified a modified cascade style. She didn’t quite want a teardrop shape, but not as round as a modified cascade. Her bouquet was composed of white, nude, and dusty pink Roses, blush pink Peonies, blue Astilbe and Thistle, Stephanotis, Orchids, white Heather, beige Baby’s Breath, Willow and Eucalyptus. Here bridesmaids were wearing a variety of these colors and she wanted to include them in her bouquet. It tied everything together so nicely!

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquet with the same mix of the bridal flowers. One of the bouquets was actually for an attendant on the groom’s side, so we included a bit more of the blue accents in her bouquet to match the guys more closely. It was an easy tweak to the design so that it set it apart but still matched with the bridesmaids.

“Erin is SO sweet to work with and VERY prompt with communication and getting everything situated and organized! She is super easy to talk to and very accommodating if you have a particular idea in mind! The wedding flowers were everything I would’ve dreamed of and were just absolutely perfect! I couldn’t have been happier! I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your floral needs!”

Dusty Pink, Nude and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Weddings are so romantic, and when you add in some soft colors and florals that remind me of candlelight, it just ups the romance factor even more! Local bride Erica’s colors were champagne and earth tones, and we had a lot of fun talking through options to give her a look that was dreamy and sweet and went with the dresses but stood out, too. Let’s take a look at the beautiful photos from Katy Greseth with Captured Glory Photography of Erica’s big day!

Here’s our very happy and very photogenic couple! Erica’s bouquet was a mix of dusty pink Roses, nude Roses, White Roses, white Seeds and Baby’s Breath, Olive greenery and Seeded Eucalyptus. The style was not a true round ball style but not quite as branch as some handtied styles. It has a classic feel to it with lots of texture and shape, but leaned a little more formal than casual.

I LOVE these champagne bridesmaid dresses! They are incredibly classic in color but I love that they each chose their own style. The bridesmaid bouquets were a simplified version of the bridal bouquet with a little less roundness to them. The greenery provided a good frame around the flowers and made them look so good against the champagne dresses.

Erica also ordered a custom altar arrangement that she wanted to be lush and full to match the setting of her outdoor ceremony. It also incorporated the same mix of flowers and greenery from the bridal bouquet but made to fit in the corner of the natural wood and vine arch at the ceremony site.

“Erin was amazing to work with on my wedding flowers! She sent photo updates throughout the process and when I changed my mind about certain flowers she offered alternatives and swapped them out for me in our bouquets. She worked in a timely manner, had great communication and excellent prices. Would definitely use her services again!”

Dusty Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Lucky us, we get to look back on a beautiful wedding sent in by bride Alycia! Her vision for her custom silk wedding flowers included dusty pinks and white with a mixture of greenery for full and lush and “natural” looking bouquets. Let’s take a closer look at the photos she sent me by her talented photographer: Blessed Day Photography by Megan Edmonds.

Alycia’s bouquet was a modified cascade style based on an inspiration photo she sent me. Even though it was a photo of an altar arrangement, it showed the shape and composition she loved with just the right ratio of flowers to greenery. That was extremely helpful for me to catch her vision. I suggested a variety of flowers in her colors and came up with a design plan. The final design of her bouquet included: white hydrangea, light dusty pink Roses, white mini Ranunculus, darker dusty pink Peonies, white Sophia Roses, white filler seeds, willow and silver dollar Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers and greenery.

“I cannot recommend Erin enough!! Her professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made the process of designing the bouquets so easy. I sent Erin a Pinterest picture of what I had envisioned, and she provided me with flower and color options to make sure I got the bouquet of my dreams. Her timeline was spot on, coming in plenty of time ahead, allowing me to not stress about flowers! I received SO many compliments on them. And, they photograph so well. They look SO real! I now have a beautiful keepsake to remind me of our special day.”
— Alycia | Maine

Those dusty pinks really popped against the blue dresses and navy suits!

What a gorgeous backdrop for our happy couple!

Classic White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Today’s wedding features classic white silk wedding flowers with touches of greenery and lots of style! Shelby reached out to me about her idea to feature Calla Lilies as the main flower in all the arrangements. For her bridal bouquet, she wanted some more texture and greenery but wanted to keep it simple for the bridesmaids. Let’s take a look at some beautiful images from her big day, provided by the very talented Jodi Anne Photo!

Look at these lovely ladies! The bridesmaids were all in varying shades of mauve and dusty pink—a beautiful look! Their bouquets were in a round handtied style with Calla Lilies and satin ribbon to finish off the look.

Here’s a closer look at Shelby’s bouquet. For her round handtied style bridal bouquet in silk flowers, we incorporated Calla Lilies, Heather, Seeds, Lamb’s Ear, Olive Greens and Fern. It complemented all the other arrangements nicely, while standing out from the other bouquets.

“Did an amazing job with my wedding flowers for each and every person! Erin is amazing to work with and does a great job at customer engagement!”
— Shelby | Indiana

The boutonnieres were all pretty simple with a single Calla Lily, greenery and a stalk of Heather for the groom.

Want to be as carefree and worry free on your wedding day as Shelby looks here? Custom silk wedding flowers might be the way to go!

Dusty Rose and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love to share all my weddings, but the soft and romantic color palettes will always have my heart! Jennifer’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of white and dusty pink flowers with a touch of greenery. I was so excited to show her a few new options I had found including the dusty pink Lilac. Those lacey little flowers added so much texture with just a kiss of color. Let’s take a look at these wonderful images by Nikki Joachim Photography to see what Jennifer and I came up with together!

Jennifer specified that she wanted a loose look to the bouquets with space between things. She decided on the round handtied style, and I made some suggestions for a full bouquet that wouldn’t mean every flower would be packed in tightly. Her bouquet consisted of champagne Roses, ivory Ranunculus, dusty pink Lilac, white seeds, Lamb's Ear, white Larkspur, ivory Garden Roses, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and small leaf Eucalyptus.

Jennifer’s bridesmaid carried a matching style bouquet, just a bit smaller. The boutonnieres combined the ivory flowers and bits of the dusty pink Lilac with greenery to match the ladies.

“Erin was easy to work with and finished the project much earlier than I expected. I just showed her a few photos of what I liked and she created something beautiful with them.”
— Jennifer | Minnesota

At the altar was a table that I designed a swag/garland combination piece for. The center was a spray of Roses, Lilac and greens with long Eucalyptus pieces trailing from both sides. It filled the table nicely without being over the top. The best part is, they were able to use at there reception site for their sweetheart table as well.

Dusty Pink and Dusty Blue Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Rebecca contacted me for her May wedding and wanted to incorporate some dusty pink wedding flowers to complement her dusty blue bridesmaid dresses. And just like this wedding I featured a few weeks ago, her bridesmaids got to choose a style of dress that they liked. I just love this color combination and can’t wait to share these arrangements with you!

Rebecca wanted to be sure and credit her awesome vendors, so if you are in Minnesota check out her photographer Laura Brenden Photography, makeup by Maggie Jensen (IG: maggiej_makeup), and the venue was Lost Spur Golf and Event Center.

Rebecca’s bouquet was a mix of ivory Cabbage Roses, dusty pink Peonies, dusty pink mini Roses, Lamb’s Ear and standard Eucalyptus in modified cascade style bridal bouquet. This asymmetrical design is a go-to of mine for the simple fact that it looks good from the front AND the side, so if you you forget to hold it a certain way, it’s still going to photograph great.

Look at these beautiful ladies! The bridesmaids carried full round, handtied styled bouquets with the same mix of flowers. The flower girls had little mini bouquets that were just the perfect size.

“We absolutely loved the flowers that we got for our wedding day. Erin did a great job keeping us updated and including any ideas that we had. Amazing job and gorgeous flowers!”
— Rebecca | Minnesota

Rebecca wanted simple flowers for the head table so I created a swag that laid in front of the bride and groom. It incorporated the same mix of flowers and greenery and was low enough that every one could see the happy couple. I also usually suggest having the bouquets do double duty for reception décor. The photos below show how that works out. Just have your bridesmaids drop their bouquets in a vase along the table when they enter the reception area.

I love these detail shots!

*Actual* Valentine's Day Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

Earlier this week, I gave one example of Valentine’s Day silk wedding flowers. Today is another example with a similar color palette but a completely different style. Enjoy!

This round ball bridal bouquet was a mix of magenta Garden and Cabbage Roses and Calla Lilies, white Garden Roses and Peonies, dusty pink Mums, and few stems of Dendrobium Orchids. She wanted some pearls added in so I put together clusters of 3-5 larger scale pearls and placed them throughout the bouquet. Their accent color was silver, so that’s the color we went with on the handle of the bouquets.

She chose a mini bouquet for the flower girl and I used the same mix as the bridal bouquet, just much smaller.

This next photo shows a few of the “extras” she ordered. There were two cake clusters for her one layer wedding Cheesecake (yum!). These were designed to be different and could go on two opposite corners, one on top, one around the edge or wherever she wanted them to go. The bottom arrangement was a swag for her unity candle table. The great thing about this piece is that is can easily be picked up after the ceremony and used somewhere in the reception area; the food, gift, guestbook, or head table would all be great places for this matching custom silk wedding flower arrangement to decorate.

We kept the boutonnieres and corsages simple with white Roses and magenta accents with Lamb’s Ear for the boutonnieres and a fluffier white Ranunculus for the corsages. You’ll notice the differences are ever so slight between the boutonnieres, but they are enough to be able differentiate between the groom, groomsmen and father bouts. This bride wanted the mothers to have an option of pin or wrist corsage so she ordered one of each! I added a small spray of pearls for accent to match the bridal bouquet for a nice touch of shine.

Carmen’s ivory, champagne and dusty rose silk wedding flowers were so fun to create. She opted for a modified cascade style bridal bouquet with a distinctly asymmetrical shape. Her bouquet was unique, the colors romantic, and the look was so classy. Scroll down to take a look!

We wanted to come up with a really soft looking bouquet. I suggested Cymbidium Orchids, toast colored Roses, ivory Peonies, dusty rose Mums, small pink Cosmos, and Lamb’s Ear.

The matching toss bouquet incorporated one Cymbidium Orchid, a toast colored Rose, dusty pink Mum, and some Lamb’s Ear with ribbon.

The matching boutonnieres and corsages:
