Classic White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I know it’s hard to imagine wedding flowers that can top a Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings wedding or a Disney and Cinderella blue wedding, but today’s classic white and green silk wedding flowers are a stunning example of wedding flowers that can compete with literally any theme or scheme! Cassie’s custom silk flowers from her July wedding were so fun to design and were full of texture, greenery and looked amazing in all her photos. Let’s take a look at the lovely images from Edward Walker with Bellagala.

Cassie’s bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix white Roses, Lilies, Larkspur, mini Peonies, mini Cabbage Roses, Baby's Breath, standard Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The texture of the bouquet really complements that lovely design of Cassie’s dress. Her groom wore a white Rose bud, mini Peonies, Baby’s Breath and Greenery. It was a great match to her bouquet and looked awesome with his suit!

Cassie’s bridesmaids all wore different shades of green and different styles of dresses, and I absolutely love this look! And again, the bouquets only end up complementing their individual and classy finished look.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Cassie’s bouquet, minus the standard Eucalyptus so that it set her bouquet apart just a bit more. Since three of her bridesmaids were in darker green and three in lighter green, she choose to match the ribbon on the bouquets to the dresses with half having sage green and the other half having emerald green ribbon.

“Erin and her work was amazing! Real flowers are very pricy and I didn’t want to pay that much for flowers that will die in a few weeks. Choosing Erin and Love Is Blooming allowed me to have beautiful flowers for probably more than half the price! I contacted Erin and she got back to me very very fast! She was excited to work with me, and was very professional! She kept me a part of the process the entire time, even asking which flowers were my favorite so she could include them in the bouquets. They turned out beautifully, and looked amazing in photos and in person. People were amazed that they weren’t real! Now, I get to keep my bridal bouquet and my husband’s boutonniere forever!”
— Cassie | Minnesota

The groomsmen boutonnieres were a mix of Baby’s Breath and mini Peonies with greenery. It was a good look next to the groom’s boutonniere that allowed his to be larger and more featured, but still all went together.

Let’s not forget the moms and dads! The mothers had wrist corsages with Cabbage Roses, mini Peonies, Baby’s Breath, a small touch of bling with some rhinestones, greens and ribbon. These corsages work for any outfit! The dads had boutonnieres with mini Peonies and touch of Eucalyptus and again would look good on any lapel!

Plum, Blush, Rose Gold, Navy and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I love today’s color palette of plum, blush, rose gold, navy and white silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquet. This moody look can work with any season, a ceremony at any time of day and looks great indoors or outdoors. You’re going to see what I’m talking about with these photos of Jessica’s custom silk wedding flowers by Michael Anderson Photography.

Here’s our happy couple! Jessica’s bouquet was a round ball style bouquet with a mix of white Garden Roses, plum Tea Roses, navy Garden Roses, mauve Peonies, and one navy Magnolia as a feature flower. We wanted a color that would bridge the darks and lights so we incorporated some magenta purple Ranunculus to create a nice blend. Jessica didn’t want greenery to be a focal but she wanted a touch, so we added a light collar of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus around the bottom of her bouquet. The groom’s boutonniere was a white Rose, magenta purple Ranunculus, navy accent flowers and a touch of greenery.

I LOVE this photo! The backdrop is beautiful, the warm and cozy shawls they are wearing and the variety of dress colors makes for such an interesting and lovely photo. We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to be a little different than the bridal but incorporated the same color scheme. To differentiate between their bouquets and Jessica’s, I reduced the size, changed out the white Roses for white Baby’s Breath and we did not include a Magnolia.

“Beautiful flowers for my wedding that will last a lifetime! Erin was great to work with and found me the perfect floral colors to match my wedding colors. I am very glad I chose this small business and will gladly refer Love is Blooming to family and friends.”

Plum, Lilac and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Purple tones in silk wedding flowers can be bright and cheery, but they can also be moody and romantic. Today’s custom silk wedding flowers is a great example of a little bit of both! Samantha’s wedding colors included plum, lilac and ivory with her bridesmaids wearing a lovely shade of lilac/wisteria. Samantha sent me some amazing photos of her wedding day from her photographers Elena and Bogdan from Red Barn Wedding Studio.

Here’s our lovely bride, Samantha! Her cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of lilac Cabbage Roses, ivory Garden Roses, lavender Garden Roses, plum Cosmos and Tea Roses, lavender Forget-Me-Nots, and a mix of greenery.

Look how awesome the colors of the bouquets pop against the bridesmaid dresses! Their round handtied style bridesmaid bouquets had the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet.

“Erin was amazing! Everything was completely customized to how I wanted it to look and my flowers arrived in plenty of time for my wedding. We got so many compliments on the flowers and they look amazing in our photos!”
— Samantha | Illinois

I love these detail shots by Red Barn Wedding Studio! It gives a great close up look at some of the boutonnieres and corsages.

Our happy couple with huge smiles despite the rain:)

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flowers - Fixing a Mistake

, ,

Today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation was part recreation, part fixing a mistake. Kyle sent me photos to share with me that his wife’s bouquet wasn’t made correctly and so her bouquet wasn’t what had hoped to carry down the aisle. It was supposed to have white Hydrangea and Baby’s Breath, pink Roses and Ruscus. Instead, there were champagne Roses and Hydrangea added in and she didn’t love it. My job was to recreate the bouquet, but make it right for his wife! Let’s take a look!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-fixed-silk-wedding-flowers-anniversary-gift

As you can see from the photos, the champagne flowers stood out in the kind of way that you don’t want. But recreating the bouquet allowed Kyle to get her the bouquet she had dreamed of.

“Worked closely with me to recreate my wife’s wedding bouquet for our anniversary. Was very quick with turnaround and it looked beautiful.”
— Kyle | Hawaii
custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-fixed-silk-wedding-flowers-anniversary-gift

One tricky part of this bouquet was figuring out how the stems were wrapped. The closest photo we had showed what looked like copper color ribbon with glittery ribbon criss-crossed over the top. Kyle remembered it being more of a rosegold color, so we went with that to finish off the look.

Did you love your bouquet, except for one or two things? Silk flowers offer the benefit of custom designs so you can have your bouquet recreated how you wanted it in the first place. Read more about the process here!

Sunflowers and White Roses Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Welcome back to another addition of “Oh my gosh, that’s so pretty!” I love it when the custom silk wedding flowers I create for a bride end up matching her personality perfectly. Today’s wedding flowers are bubbly, bright, classic, pretty, and fun! This makes it easy to introduce bride Kalie to you because as you’ll see from the photos, she’s all those things too! Let’s take a look at the photos she sent from her photographer Amanda Hansen Photography that you can find on Facebook.

I mean, you get it now right? Look at that smile! Ok, back to the flowers. Kalie’s bouquet was a round handtied style with white Garden Roses Sunflowers, white Baby’s Breath, black Skimmia Berries, small leaf Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. And if you still weren’t sure how fun she is, take a look at her wedding shoes! Love it!

The bridesmaids carried slightly different bouquets that were round handtied style with just Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath, small leaf and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. I love that they were different so that Kalie’s bouquet stood out more, without being a completely different look. And that gold in the Sunflowers really popped against their black dresses.

I also created two custom altar arrangements to go on the gazebo at their ceremony site. It added a nice touch of color to the all white backdrop, tied in with the bouquets and made for a cohesive look.

“Erin was absolutely incredible from the second I contacted her. She was so easy to work with, sweet and kind and extremely detailed. She listened to everything I wanted and suggested the route we go and I was absolutely in love with my flowers. The cost was amazing for the quality! 10/10 recommend!”
— Kalie | New York

We can’t forget about our littlest participants! The flower girls each carried mini bouquets and looked like they fit right in with all the grownups in the wedding party. So cute!

Remember those altar arrangements just a few photos ago? I always recommend finding a place that your altar arrangements can do double duty. For Kalie, they had this awesome hoop behind their sweetheart table. Without any decorations you can see how it might just disappear into the background. Ask a friend to help take down your altar arrangement(s) and rehang or place at your reception site and you have instant decor!

Thanks again to our happy couple for sharing their big day with all of us. If you are looking for custom silk wedding flowers that match your personality, style and flair, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

, ,

I am so excited to share today’s wedding on the blog! Neutrals and earth tones have been a hot ticket this last year, and as more and more brides get brave enough to try it out, the more I get to share new and lovely color combinations. Today’s wedding features white, taupe, and nude silk wedding flowers. Bride Kirsten sent me these gorgeous photos to share with you from their very talented photographer Henry Roy Photography. Let’s check them out!

Here’s our magazine worthy couple, in their stunning attire with a absolutely perfect backdrop! Kirsten’s round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of white Ranunculus, nude Garden Roses, taupe Cosmos, beige Baby’s Breath, and three varieties of sage color Greenery. Lots of texture, lots of variety in shape and a soft color palette that blends with nature perfectly! The groom’s boutonniere was a nude Garden Rose, taupe Cosmos, beige Baby’s Breath and sage Greenery.

I just love this shot with the fern from the forest accentuating all the greenery in her bouquet!

“Erin is fantastic to work with! Reasonably priced, custom, and beautiful!”
— Kirsten | South Dakota

Neutral Boho Chic Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

The last few years, the Boho trend has really taken off. Of course, it can mean a lot of different things to different people, but today’s wedding is a great example of this trend! Jessica was looking for custom silk wedding flowers in a neutral color palette to complement the colors in the bridal party’s attire. Let’s take a look at her show stopping arrangements in these photos by Sweet Apple Creative!

Here’s our beautiful bride Jessica! Her dress had so much detail, and it was important that her bouquet matched in style and texture. In her round handtied style bridal bouquet, we incorporated brown and nude Garden Roses, white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white Fern, white Ruscus and Pampas Grasses.

Her groom’s suit and son’s suits were in her matching color palette and Jessica chose to feature the brown rose with white and cream accents.

I just love the softness that his velvet bowtie and pocket square bring to the look!

“Erin is absolutely amazing! I told her my vision and she executed it! She was professional, she communicated with me, she made the flower arrangements in a timely manner and she even sent me pictures along the way to make sure I liked what she had so far. I was extremely happy with my bouquet. The bouquet made my look come together. It was the icing on the cake. I definitely would recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the future!”
— Jessica | Minnesota

Jessica had one bridesmaid that I created a smaller handtied style bouquet for. It incorporated the same mix of flowers as her bouquet. It was a great accent to her beautiful bridesmaid dress!

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.

Early Fall Silk Wedding Flowers on the Mississippi River - Reveal and Review

, , ,

It’s such an honor when a friend chooses me to create their custom silk wedding flowers. And today, I get to share my friend with you! I have known Shayna and her family for over 15 years, so being asked to create flowers for her early fall wedding on the Mississippi River was a treat for me! Let’s take a look at some of the beautiful images by her very talented photographer, Nicole Krause Photography.

Shayna’s bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of lavender Cabbage Roses, blue Hydrangea and Lilacs, white Garden Roses and Lily of the Valley and Lavender. Several of the flowers were chosen because of special people in the family and I thought that was such a sweet touch.

Shayna’s bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets with a mix of the bridal flowers. The boutonnieres for the bridal party included Roses, Lavender and Hydrangea in simple styles.

“Erin knew exactly what I wanted when I didn’t know! She is so kind, and I am so happy she made my wedding flowers and bridal bouquet. Thank you, Erin!”
— Shayna | Minnesota

The setting for the ceremony and reception were so naturally beautiful and they had this awesome arch made for their ceremony. I created two altar arrangements to complement the wedding colors and flowers without taking away from the beauty of the surroundings.

Shayna designed her own table decor and purchased bulk quantities of the flowers to arrange in jars with fairy lights and on the tables. It was the perfect touch of color and florals to tie everything together!

A big thanks to Shayna for trusting me to create her custom silk wedding flowers for her special day.

Plum, Lavender and Gray Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, ,

I’m excited to get to share another beautiful purple themed wedding with you today. Kennedy contacted me looking for custom silk wedding flowers with a variety of shades of purple and white flowers. I made some flower suggestions based on the inspiration photos she sent me and we collaborated on the composition of the bouquets until everything was just right. Let’s take a look at some of these lovely images provided by her photographer, TwentySix Photography. You can also find them on Facebook.

Here’s our beautiful bride, Kennedy! Her bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of white Garden Roses, lavender Cabbage Roses, lavender gray Peonies, Lavender, plum Cosmos, lavender Freesia, white Heather and seeds and Ruscus.

Kennedy really liked the look of the boutonnieres being made of a mix of smaller, more delicate flowers. I played around with the combinations to make sure we included her colors, but kept them unique.

The bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers to compliment Kennedy’s bouquet and their dresses.

“The flowers turned out better than I could have imagined ! So easy to put the order together with what I wanted and even make simple changes throughout.”
— Kennedy | West Viriginia

The sweet flower girl got a matching floral crown with touches of lavender, plum and white for a perfectly cohesive, and adorable, look.

Custom Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

, ,

Back in June, I shared Sarah’s custom silk bridal bouquet I made to match her existing bridesmaid bouquets. It was a lovely mix of purple and white flowers with a touch of navy. Her silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round hand-tied style full of white Garden and Cabbage Roses, lavender Garden Roses, medium purple Ranunculus and cabbage Roses, plum tea Roses, Lavender, white Baby’s Breath, Waxflower and Blueberries. I made it nice and lush with adding a variety of greenery, including: Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Standard Eucalyptus and Ruscus. Her accent color was navy, so she chose a satin navy ribbon to finish off her bouquet. Today I get to share a few photos from Sarah’s big day provided by her photographer Emily Anderson Photography. Check her out here on Instagram and here on Facebook.

“Erin was wonderful to work with. I sent her some ideas I had in mind for my bridal bouquet and colors. She sent me a mock up super fast and was great at changing out flowers I didn’t like. I loved my bouquet and so happy with how it turned out. I was so afraid of my flowers looking fake and I can contest it was absolutely beautiful and far from looking fake. I would recommend Erin and go to her again for any floral need.”

Black, Red and Burgundy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Michelle’s black, red and burgundy silk wedding flowers were show stoppers. This unique color combination is not one I had worked before and I was super excited because she also wanted some elements that would definitely turn up the glam on her arrangements. These amazing images are by Parker’s Images. Check them out on their website or Facebook! Let’s get a closer look at Michelle’s bouquet!

Michelle’s teardrop cascading silk bridal bouquet was a mix of red and black Garden Roses, dark burgundy Calla Lilies, black Skimmia Berries and a touch of greenery. To crank up the style we added in skinny black feathers and a large black rhinestone broach.

The bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets with the same mix of flowers and an asymmetrical accent of the skinny black feathers.

Here’s all the handsome men with their boutonnieres. The groom’s boutonniere was a red Spray Rose, Skimmia and feathers with a touch of greenery. We simplified the groomsmen to be just the dark burgundy Calla Lily and some feathers. All bouquets and boutonnieres were finished off with a wine red satin ribbon.

“Erin did a fabulous job on our wedding flowers. She was very communitive throughout the whole process and gave progress photos while she worked on them. If I had any changes or requests, she did everything to accommodate them. They look amazing and were very durable. Guests wanted to take my flowers home but we loved them so much we couldn’t part with them. They look very realistic and now we have keepsakes forever. I would 100% recommend Love is Blooming and Erin. She is just the sweetest to work with.”
— Michelle | Illinois

Michelle wanted to incorporate matching flowers into her centerpieces. She already had lanterns, so I designed these small clusters of a red and a black Garden Rose with a little bit of greenery to tie on with matching ribbon.

She wanted a little something more for the head table, so I suggested using a garland with black and red roses dispersed along the length of the garland. It was a great way to add floral arrangements without blocking anyone’s view of the happy couple and the bridal party.

Thanks again to Michelle for sharing her beautiful wedding day photos with us. Are you looking to incorporate this color scheme into your wedding florals? Silk wedding flowers might be the answer. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to send me your ideas!

Blush and White Destination Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Back in July, I shared photos of a pretty little bridal bouquet I made for Heather. I needed to post an update once Heather sent me her professional photos because they are STUNNING! From her vintage inspired dress to the colorful back grounds, these photos are inspiring! The amazing images are by Andi Artigue .Let’s take a look at Heather’s silk flowers for a Vegas destination wedding!

Heather sent me inspiration photos that included roses, orchids and a few tropical accents. She originally wanted all white but decided to add in some blush for contrast. Her asymmetrical cascade bridal bouquet included white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white and nude pink Garden Roses, white Baby’s Breath and blush pink Anthurium. We planned for a smaller bouquet to accommodate her travel needs, but as you can see this bouquet was still high impact despite it’s smaller size.

“So happy I found Love Is Blooming to create my custom silk bouquet!

Erin was great. She worked with my (many) inspo pictures to pick out all of the flowers and other elements that I wanted. She also helped me pick out the right size and shape since I would be flying with my bouquet and was worried about how to transport something more traditional.

She was super responsive and provided several updates to the status of my bouquet and asked for feedback before shipping (I didn’t have any as her creation was perfect and more than everything I envisioned).

Erin truly made something that could have been very stressful so easy and I would recommend her business to anyone!”
— Heather | Texas

Heather’s dress was a beautiful lace number, so we matched that look with soft pink satin ribbon wrapped with lace and trailing lace tales. It goes with her dress so well!

Heather reached out to me with a few inspiration photos and a truly blushing bride color palette for her destination wedding. Her vibe was beachy, romantic, soft and a touch of glamour. She requested that the bouquet was small to make travel easier, but she didn’t want to loose any drama. I sent a few flower ideas and got to work on a custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers.

I went with an asymmetrical design for the shape with a more subtle draping to the bouquet. I incorporated white and nude pink Garden Roses, white Baby’s Breath, white Phalaenopsis Orchids and blush pink Anthurium.

Yellow and White Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Today’s reveal is a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers from Jolyn. She contacted me about recreating her bouquet. They had tried to preserve it, but after “8 years and 3 moves” it didn’t hold up as well as they’d hoped. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the recreation and Jolyn’s original bouquet.

Combining Inspiration Photos for the Perfect Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet

, , ,

I’m not going to let my head get too big here, but it’s pretty fun when I ask for inspiration photos and brides send me photos of my own work. In this case, the bride sent me photos of Haley’s champagne, ivory and gray silk wedding flowers and another more intricate bridal bouquet (recreation) and asked me to combine the two styles and designs into one romantic look. Challenge accepted!

This modified cascade style bridal bouquet incorporated a similar color scheme as the first bouquet with some of the same flowers and berries and some of the daintiness and smaller elements of the second bouquet.

The bouquet was made with blush centered Cabbage Roses, ivory Garden Roses, gray Berries, blush pink Calla Lilies, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, blush Heather, Lamb’s Ear and some mixed greens tucked in. The ever popular Antique White ribbon finished off this classy bouquet with partially wrapped stems.

The groom’s boutonniere was a nice complement to the bridal bouquet with a single Calla Lily, blush Heather, gray berries, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

Though this was for a small wedding, she also wanted some cake flowers for her two tier cake. I designed three different flower clusters that would give her baker some flexibility in placement.

Whether your wedding is big or small, silk wedding flowers allow flexibility, are budget friendly and they are just so darn pretty! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote for your custom silk wedding flowers.

Burgundy Silk Wedding Flowers with a Twist

, , ,

When Candace booked her wedding with me in February, she had a pretty good idea of what she wanted for her custom silk wedding flowers and a bridal bouquet. The inspiration photos had creamy Roses, peach and burgundy accents and lots of greenery and texture. They were moody and romantic and a little bit boho—perfect for an October wedding! Once I started working on her arrangements, she felt like it was missing a little pop of color, so we incorporated a touch of golden orange that gave the bouquets that perfect little twist of brightness. Take a look at Candace’s awesome custom silk wedding bouquets for fall.

The bridal bouquet incorporated cream Roses, peach Roses, apricot Garden Roses, ivory Spray Roses, burgundy Dahlia, orange gold Mums, Seeded Eucalyptus, Magnolia leaves, dusty greenery, feathery Fern, and seed pods in mauve. This modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet is a show stopper!

The bridesmaid bouquets weren’t the exact same shape but incorporated almost all the same elements as the bridal bouquet while giving off the same wild and rustic vibe.

This nontraditional shape bridesmaid bouquet is definitely becoming the norm as more bride’s are choosing more organic shapes and color palettes for both themselves and their bridal party.

Blush, Navy and Ivory Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

When Emily gave me the go ahead to give her a truly custom look for her bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers, I WAS SO EXCITED! She sent me a few inspiration photos, her color palette and feedback on my ideas and I’m proud to present this very pretty modified cascade bridal bouquet in blush and ivory with tons of greenery.

I seriously packed this baby with tons of flowers, textures and style. It is composed of ivory and blush pink Roses, blush centered Garden Roses, ivory Spray Roses, ivory Ranunculus, Baby’s Breath, Scabiosa Seed Pods, Peony buds, seeded Eucalyptus, Dusty Miller, and Smilax. This asymmetrical design is one of a kind and fantastic, if I do say so myself!

Emily knew exactly what she wanted for her Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids bouquets. We started with a base of all white baby’s breath and for the Maid of Honor I added in some of the blush Roses and the blush centered Garden Roses. A little bit of seeded Eucalyptus and these simple designs were so pretty!

Emily also needed some clusters of flowers for her simple and elegant cake. I didn’t want to do anything too large or fussy, so I designed these 4 small clusters to be placed on the layers for a look that would match her bouquets.

“My husband, Cliff, recently worked with you in recreating my wedding bouquet for our fourth wedding anniversary. Our special day was last Friday, November 8, and as expected, I was surprised and touched with this incredibly thoughtful gift. I was completely taken away, not only by the tremendous resemblance in sight, but also how remarkably similar this bouquet was in weight to the original. If I close my eyes, I can actually believe I’m holding the exact bouquet from 4 years ago! Your work and your attention to detail is extraordinary; you are so very talented! Cliff also spoke highly of your customer service and the great time and patience you took in working with him to ensure that this project turned out perfect. I personally thank you for creating this beautiful reminder of our wedding day, and for all the assistance you gave Cliff to help him make our day so special.”

Ordering Custom Wedding Flowers on a Short Timeline

Bridal bouquet of purple Calla Lilies, pink Garden Roses, cream pink Hydrangea, Greenery and Pearl accents.

Bridal bouquet of purple Calla Lilies, pink Garden Roses, cream pink Hydrangea, Greenery and Pearl accents.

There are times when my deadlines are a bit shorter than is typical.  Bride Anisha contacted me on May 13 requesting custom silk wedding flowers for her May 28 American Wedding and May 30 Indian Ceremony. Needless to say, I jumped into action with her pink and purple color scheme to design beautiful bouquets (including a red bouquet to match her Sari bridal gown), boutonnieres and corsages, for the fast approaching big day(s)!

If you find yourself in this type of situation, there are a few things to remember:

  • Be open to new ideas.  I may need to present some new flower ideas in order to achieve the look you want. Meaning, you may not get that rare orchid you've been dreaming of since 6th grade if you wait until there's just a few weeks to go. But then again you might since silk flowers come in a wide variety of species and colors year round! 
  • Be up front about what you like. It's very helpful to all of your vendors to know what you're thinking. We may not be able to fulfill all your requests, but if we spend valuable time deciphering what you'd like, we'll be in a bigger pinch than we were before with your timeline.
  • It's never too early to get the conversation started. Not knowing what you want is not a problem, that's what I'm here for!  My goal is to help you discover your likes/dislikes and create custom wedding flowers to match your personality, style and theme. And I will say it again, it's never too early to talk with vendors about ideas, the more time we have the more room for creativity!

Keeping that in mind, let's go back to Anisha's flowers.  I was up front with Anisha about our time frame, I gave her ideas to choose from that I could work with and she made fast and clear decisions.  Her vision of garden bouquets with a variety of flowers came to life beautifully!

If you are feeling the time crunch and think custom silk wedding flowers might be the solution, contact me today to get the conversation started.
