National Park Destination Wedding - Reveal and Review

This summer, my family visited two national parks, and I’m always amazed at how beautiful and unique they are! Now, imagine a destination wedding at one, specifically Grand Teton National Park! I’m SO excited to share this very scenario with you today. Masie was looking for a wildflower look to match her bridesmaid dress colors, and she needed silk wedding flowers to comply with national park guidelines. Let’s take a look at these stunning photos by Anna Harrington Photography (@itsannaharrington on IG and Tik Tok).

Here’s our beautiful bride Masie with her large, loose handtied style bouquet with a mix of blue Blossoms, blue, white and pink Delphinium, peach Gardenia, lavender Mums, yellow Roses, peach Hydrangea, yellow Forsythia, Lily of the Valley, blue Bougainvillea, blush Dahlias, lavender Cosmos and a Magnolia to honor her late Grandmother.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquet with the same mix of flowers as Masie’s bouquet, but without the Magnolia. Their bouquets featured each of the color of their dresses and complemented them so well!

“Erin was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so kind, easygoing, and brought my vision to life in a way that was even more beautiful than I imagined. Since we had a destination wedding in a National Park and couldn’t use real flowers, I was a little nervous about how silk-pressed flowers would look but Erin completely exceeded our expectations. Our bouquets were absolutely stunning and looked so incredibly real that all of our guests were amazed when they found out they weren’t fresh flowers! Every detail was thoughtfully designed and made our wedding feel so beautiful and personal. And the best part? I get to keep my flowers forever. 🤍 I can turn them into home décor, enjoy them for years to come, and hopefully even pass them down to future generations for their weddings. They’re so much more than wedding flowers they’re a forever keepsake from one of the most special days of our lives. We couldn’t recommend Erin enough!”

Galaxy Orchids and Picasso Calla Lilies Featured in Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

If you live in the Midwest then you know how quickly the weather changes. Why shouldn’t my blog reflect that? Last week, I showed you a gorgeous set of winter wedding flowers, and today, I give you spring colors. Gotta keep you guessing! Tiana’s gorgeous custom flowers were for her small wedding. But don’t be fooled, this small wedding was big on impact!

These custom silk wedding flowers were designed hand in hand with me and the bride for a truly custom look. She knew she wanted Galaxy Orchids and Picasso Calla Lilies with a hint of yellow mixed in. Here bridal bouquet was a traditional tear drop cascade that was bursting with color and variety. It included the Callas and Orchids along with lavender and white Roses, Baby’s Breath, yellow Forsythia, purple Heather Fern and Lamb’s Ear. She also wanted some bling, so I added in some larger scale rhinestones throughout to give it some shine.

The toss bouquet was much smaller but still contained all the same elements in a round handtied style bouquet.

We used all the colors to fill out both the boutonnieres and corsages.

This custom altar arrangement was a garland with Lamb’s Ear as the base, ivory and lavender Roses, lavender Heather, Picasso Calla Lilies, Galaxy Orchids, Forsythia and Fern and was almost 6’ long. This would grace a table at the front of their venue. An arrangement like this is so versatile because you can have someone move it to the reception site after the ceremony is done. Lay it on your head table, along the gift table, around the cake, or even down the center of a banquet style table.
