Dusty Rose, Cream and Green Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

Dusty Rose might be the star of 2021 for bridal bouquets. It’s one of those colors that is soft, romantic, and a little out of the ordinary so it really stands out! Kourtney’s flowers are a great example of incorporating dusty rose into your silk wedding flowers as an accent and feature.

Kourtney’s bridal bouquet was a mix of custom dyed Roses in dusty Rose, ivory Garden Roses, ivory Cabbage Roses, white seeds, Fern and lots of Eucalyptus in a modified cascade style. Big and beautiful, this bouquet was a show-stopper!

The bridesmaid dresses were a shade of dusty rose, so Kourtney requested that their bouquets be a mix of cream and green. These simple style bouquets would allow Kourtney’s bouquet to stand out even more and for the bridesmaid dresses to be a great accent to the bridal bouquet as well. The flower girls had their own sweet mini bouquets of a single cabbage Rose and greenery.

Kourtney included a few custom honorary arrangements to honor family members who had passed away. These bouquet style arrangements are designed to be able to drop into vases that Kourtney purchased on her own. I wrapped them with a green ribbon so that if the vases were clear, the ribbon would blend in nicely with the stems.

The boutonnieres and corsages were a mix of cream flowers and a few dusty rose colored flowers mixed in. But all were simple and classic styles. These photos are to show how all the personal flowers come labeled, so that whoever is handing them out or doing the pinning knows who they are for.

Emily & Steve- Summer Silk Wedding Flowers Part 2

Emily had some elements in her wedding that were fairly traditional and needed some floral touches. Of course, there was the fun and flirty toss bouquet--who's sole purpose in life is to go hurtling towards all her single friends. We decided to use the pale pink fresh touch Callas, Lily of the Valley and a little greenery to create a cute and aerodynamic bouquet. Ok, not really about that last part but it did look pretty great flying through the air.

The happy couple also had some treasured family members who weren't around to celebrate such an important day with them. They wanted to honor their lives and their impact on their families with a small family arrangement they had placed at the ceremony. We used the Peonies, Callas, and Lily of the Valley for this sentimental and sweet arrangement. Placed in a 7" silver Julep cup, it was the perfect piece for their ceremony.

Of course there were boutonnieres for the guys--Steve let us get away with one small pink peony bud;)

The groomsmen matched the Bridesmaids with their pink Calla and Lily of the Valley sprig.

Everyone looked so sharp and since I had the privilege of attending the wedding as guest and Day of Coordinator, I can personally attest to it. But (said in Reading Rainbow voice), you don't have to take my word for it!

Up next are some beautiful photographs for Emily and Steve's big day, courtesy of Brianna Colleen Photography. AND you get to hear from Emily herself about her experience with silk wedding flowers on a hot July day.

Ruth & Michael- Honorary Arrangement

Many times couples have special people in their lives that they wish could be attending their wedding. Whether it's an unavailable relative, a cherished grandparent, or in this case -- both of their fathers, it's important to honor the absence or memory of people so dear. Ruth and Michael wanted to remember that they were missing some very important men on such a momentous day. We talked through some ideas before coming up with a beautiful honorary arrangement that they could place in their home long after they left the chapel.

Thanks again to Ruth and Michael for making me such a big part of their wedding day journey. The great part is that I got to be there to see the joy on their faces as they said "I do", and I get to continue celebrating through the years with them. Blessings to the Clantons!

Bold and Beautiful-Part3

There are usually a few extra arrangements that a bride wants to include in her design scape. Nikki had a few things she wanted, including an arrangement to honor her late Grandparents and the ever fun and popular toss bouquet. Take a look at how we incorporated her flowers into these two unique arrangements.

Grandparent's Arrangement:

Including all the flowers used in her arrangements, we created a beautiful accent piece for the ceremony site--something that can be called to the attention of her guests as an appropriate and thoughtful gesture of remembrance. I used a 7" silver julep cup for the vase to give it height, but also an elegant look.

Toss Bouquet:

This little clutch bouquet is cute and a nice keepsake for whichever lucky lady walks away with it. The toss bouquet is a fun tradition most brides choose to include in their wedding festivities. Nikki's toss bouquet incorporated the daisies that appeared throughout her wedding flowers, but no other flowers. It was a darling little bouquet that fit with the flow, but was completely different than all the other bouquets. Sweet and simple!

Whether you only want to add a toss bouquet or go the whole nine yards with centerpieces, altar arrangements, cake flowers, garlands, pomanders, and whatever else you can imagine, Love is Blooming is a great option for budget-friendly beautiful flowers to make your wedding day picture perfect.
