Backpacking with a Silk Bridal Bouquet - Part 2 Reveal

Ashlynn was so easy to work with and her easygoing personality is evident in their wedding photos with her silk bridal bouquet. She shared with me that it rained the day of the wedding, but they “worked with it.” And I have to say the muddy hemline of her dress sure makes for some dramatic and artsy wedding photos. Take a look at these beautiful images from her photographers Jess and Austin Drawhorn who specialize in Colorado elopements. If you are considering an adventure like that, check them out!

“Erin did a fantastic job designing my bridal bouquet. I could not have been happier with the result! Erin pays attention to detail and was a good communicator throughout the entire process. This bouquet traveled with me all the way to Colorado, on a 5.5 mile hike, and all the way back to Minnesota and it still looks perfect! Thank you Erin at Love Is Blooming for making my vision come to life!”

Backpacking with a Silk Bridal Bouquet- Part 1

You may remember this wedding I did a few months ago for a bride and her crew that were hiking into the Northwoods of Minnesota for their wedding. I thought that was such an interesting concept and was surprised again to book a job for a silk bridal bouquet and boutonniere that was also going to be backpacking to their ceremony site for an elopement. This time it was in Rocky Mountain National Park. Ashlynn wanted her bouquet to be lush and filled with color and texture for a wildflower look. We talked through her ideas, looked at inspiration photos and came up with a pretty long list of things to include. You can see from my photos that every square inch of this bouquet had something interesting in it!

Fern, Thistle, Ranunculus, Forget-Me-Nots, Roses, Daisies, Mini Daisies, Larkspur, Queen Anne’s Lace, Red berries, Columnea, Lavender Seeds, mixed Greens and the kitchen sink! Can’t you just imagine this strapped to a backpack on its way to a mountain top ceremony?

The groom’s boutonniere was a toast colored Rose bud with mini Daisies, a touch of Fern and greens and finished off with twine for a rustic look. Perfect for the great outdoors! Ashlynn wanted her bouquet wrapped in lace which I think matched really well to all the texture in her bouquet.

Last Minute Elopement Bridal Bouquet and Groom's Boutonniere

Katelyn contacted me in a flurry of changed plans and needing immediate help. Because of COVID they had made the hard decision to postpone their wedding until 2021, but then decided to elope for a destination wedding to the mountains of Washington last minute. She needed a custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers with a matching groom’s boutonniere with less than two weeks until the elopement date. I came up with a design lickety-split and here’s the final product!

The bridal bouquet was an offset modified cascade design. The main color was burgundy, so I added some Button mums and Amaranthus to ivory Roses and a variety of greenery including Seeded Eucalyptus, Lamb’s ear, Hydrangea buds, Eucalyptus and some other more delicate greenery. The groom’s boutonniere was an ivory Rose bud, Button Mum bud and mixed greens tied off with the same Antique White ribbon on the bridal bouquet.
