I love seeing the varieties of shapes, styles and color palettes that brides choose for their bridal bouquets. Marcie contacted me about recreating her bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers which incorporated shades of lavender and white with Roses, Daisies, Baby’s Breath, Fern, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Ruscus. Let’s take a look at Marcie’s bouquet. Photos are provided by her daughter Alyssa.

“Wonderful experience! Erin was amazing in re-creation of my bouquet. There was lots of communication throughout the process. I received the final product in perfect condition. A+++”

Bold and Bright Spring Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s bride, Kimberly, filled out the Free Bride’s Checklist and also included links to bouquets that had caught her eye. What I noticed right away were the bright colors, varying textures of the flowers and sunflowers! I got a little excited about her designs and sent her a bunch of ideas. Then, I looked at everything a second time and sent her a whole bunch more options. What we landed on is bold, bright and a little spunky. Let’s take a look at the professional wedding photos by Amy Galimore Photography

Kimberly’s bouquet was a loose and lush round handtied style bouquet with sunflowers, purple Hydrangea, magenta Cabbage Roses, orange and pink Ranunculus, blue Prunus, orange Cosmos, blue Dogwood, yellow Freesia, lavender seeds, and light green Roses. You almost have to look at it twice to see everything that’s in there!

The groom’s boutonniere was a mini Sunflower, purple Hydrangea, and pink and orange Ranunculus. We tied it off with twine to have a similar texture to the burlap that all the bouquets were wrapped with.

The lovely bridesmaids wore purple dresses and those bright tones really popped against such a rich backdrop!

“Erin did a fantastic job with the flowers for my wedding! She was quick to respond and came up with beautiful combinations! She incorporated everything I asked for and more! Highly recommend!”
— Kimberly | South Carolina

Kimberly also wanted to incorporate matching florals to the large arbor for their outdoor ceremony. She opted for two altar arrangements to attach to the sides of the arbor. The swags matched the bridal bouquet flowers on a bed of eucalyptus.

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.”

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.”

Silk Bridal Bouquet in Purple - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today, I get to share with you a truly custom silk bridal bouquet! Sarah contacted me about creating a custom bridal bouquet for her to match the bridesmaid bouquets she already had. I was able to make some suggestions that matched closely and also included some unique elements that would make her bouquet stand out, but also work with what she had.

Sarah’s silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round handtied that was full of beautiful texture and colors. 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.

“Erin was wonderful to work with. I was afraid to buy faux flowers online and not get to see the quality of them. I did not want the “fake flower” look. I sent over some bouquets I liked and what I already had. Erin was wonderful with giving advice, listening to my likes and dislikes and sending pictures of ones she put together quickly without charging additional to do so. Her communication was top notch. She responded so fast and in a timely manner. She had it put together and shipped so fast. I absolutely love it and it doesn’t give off that “fake look”. I am super satisfied and definitely recommend. ”
— Sarah | Ohio

Sarah sent me this photo of her bouquet and one of the bridesmaid bouquets next to each other so you can see how well they work together.

Multiple Shades of Purple in Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, , ,
silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-purple

I get to share a few photos from another one of my amazing brides, Felicia! She wanted multiple shades of purple flowers in all her arrangements. We worked closely together to find just the right ones, including: dusty lavender Peonies, plum Tea Roses, bright lavender Ranunculus, Wisteria Ranunculus, and lavender Heather. She loved the idea of some mixed greenery, so I included Seeded Eucalyptus and Lamb’s Ear and then she added a touch of Baby’s Breath for a classy and happy round style bridal bouquet.

silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-purple

Felicia opted to have wrist corsages for each of bridesmaids and I loved that idea. Seeing their beautiful dresses, with all the purple lace, I think it was a great way to allow their dresses to take center stage while still incorporating some small floral elements to match the bridal bouquet.

Felicia also ordered two custom altar arrangements to go on her amazing arbor. Is this not an impressive venue??

“Erin did an amazing job on my flowers for my wedding day! I love how they turned out. I didn’t have much of an idea to go off of when we started designing my bouquet, I just knew my colors and Erin created such a beautiful bouquet for me. She made beautiful corsages for my bridal party and the boutonnieres were made perfectly as well. She was always so sweet and responded to all my emails and any concerns I had didn’t seem like it was an issue. She had the right answers for me every time. I love, love, love my bouquet and I definitely would recommend her to anyone.”

Lavender, Blush and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers-Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’ve known Lexi and her family for about 18 years and my husband’s family has known them even longer. I felt incredibly honored to be asked to do silk wedding flowers and her bridal bouquet for her and Austin’s August wedding. Their color scheme was lavender, blush, dusty blue and ivory with pops of greenery. I went a little overboard with sharing their photos, but you’ll see really quickly why. These amazing images, provided by Cameron and Tia, were so fun to scroll through! Check them out if you are in the Minneapolis area!

Here’s our lovely couple Lexi and Austin, and they are clearly in love!

Lexi’s bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender Cabbage Roses, blush Peonies, purple Lilac, Baby’s Breath, ivory Roses, Lavender greenery, dusty blue Thistle and Eucalyptus in a teardrop cascade style bouquet. This bouquet was extra special because Lexi was able to give me a piece from her Mom’s and Grandma’s wedding dresses to wrap the handle of her bouquet.

The bridesmaid bouquets were round handtied style with the same flowers as the bridal bouquet. Lexi also ordered some small, loose flowers for her stylist to put in, the day of the wedding.

The wedding and reception took place at Hidden Meadow and Barn in Pepin, Wisconsin. The ceremony site had this amazing and huge arch. I created 2 large swags and a smaller piece to match the scale of the structure.

“Erin was so amazing to work with! I had no idea what I was doing, but she made sure I had all the details necessary for my wedding flowers to make my wedding absolutely beautiful! She had great communication throughout the entire wedding planning process and listened to any feedback I had about my flowers to make sure they were exactly what I wanted. Thank you Erin!”
— Alexi | Wisconsin

The arch pieces did double-duty the day of the wedding and after the ceremony were moved to the reception area to decorate this beautiful fireplace.

Lexi didn’t shy away from a little DIY project. She sourced the garlands and vases for the tables and ordered loose stems from me so the whole look was cohesive.

I love this shot of their elegant cake with a custom topper. For this design, Lexi ordered loose flowers to be placed on the cake by the baker. I handed them over to, none other than my Mother-in-Law, designer and baker of this delicious and beautiful wedding cake. If you are in the Minneapolis area, be sure and check out Cakes For Your Occasions. Trust me when I say that every flavor and frosting is delicious, because you know I’ve tried them all;)

Lavender and White Silk Wedding Flowers with Bling- Review and Reveal

, , ,

You might remember Emily’s beautiful lavender and white silk wedding flowers from a post a few months ago. I was so happy when she sent me some of the beautiful images from her wedding day. These images were captured by Carson Stivason Studios, check her out on Facebook (@carsonstivasonstudios) or on Instagram (@carson.stivason).

Now that I see Emily’s dress, I can totally understand why she wanted some eye-catching bling in her bouquet. With all those beautiful jewel details, the bouquet has to live up to that amazing dress!

“I am extremely happy with the way my flowers turned out. When I was looking for flowers for my wedding, I was having trouble finding some that I like because I can be pretty picky. I am also a college student, so I don’t have a lot of money to spend on my wedding. I’m so glad I found this company! Not only were the prices fair, bur she also worked very closely with me to help me customize my flowers. I’m legally blind, so details can be a little hard for me to work with. I trusted her completely to put together a beautiful arrangement using my colors, and I am very happy with how they turned out. The communication was amazing as well. Not only did I receive pictures throughout the process, but also received quick replies when I reached out. When I physically received the flowers in the mail, I was so impressed by the texture. The flowers seemed so real, which is something I really wanted for my bouquet. Additionally, they were packaged very carefully and neatly. I would highly encourage anyone who is looking for beautiful flowers at a fairly cheap price to order from here!”

Lavender, White and Silver Silk Wedding Flowers with Bling

, , ,

If you are looking for some silk wedding flowers and bouquets with a touch of bling, these are the photos for you! Emily’s color palette of lavender, white and silver were easy enough to work with, but I wanted to add a little extra ‘Oomph’ to her arrangements with some bling. Rather than just a few rhinestones here and there, I wanted it to be a statement. Take a look at what we designed together!

The bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender Roses, white Tulips, Baby’s Breath, and a little brighter lavender Spray Roses.

To give it a little more dimension, I add in some glittery, blingy branches to add texture, height and take it to the next level!

The bridesmaid bouquet was the same mix of flowers, but smaller and without the bling.

“I am extremely happy with the way my flowers turned out. When I was looking for flowers for my wedding, I was having trouble finding some that I like because I can be pretty picky. I am also a college student, so I don’t have a lot of money to spend on my wedding. I’m so glad I found this company! Not only were the prices fair, bur she also worked very closely with me to help me customize my flowers. I’m legally blind, so details can be a little hard for me to work with.

I would highly encourage anyone who is looking for beautiful flowers at a fairly cheap price to order from here!”
— Emily | West Virginia

There were two boutonnieres, the groom and groomsman where I incorporated a small piece of the glitter branch in the groom’s to match the bridal bouquet.

Emily also wanted a few clusters of flowers on ribbon loops for her aisle arrangements. These are a great, and cost effective way to tie all your looks together, add a little more to your decor, but not break the budget.

Lavender, White and Navy Bridal Bouquet Recreation

, ,

Fifty percent of the time I’m working with husbands looking to surprise their wives for an upcoming anniversary or birthday. The other 50% of the time I’m working with the bride! When I started doing recreations, I never considered that brides would think of treating themselves to a recreation, but I love that they do! Landri contacted me about recreating her gorgeous lavender, white and navy bridal bouquet in custom silk flowers. We emailed back and forth and worked closely to get it just right. Landri even custom ordered the lavender Stock that she found and had them shipped to me to include in her bouquet. This was a group project in which all participants contributed;)

bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers-lavender-white-navy

The original bouquet, photographed by Photo by Emilie, was a lush mix of Roses, Ranunculus, Stock, Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Succulents.

Landri also decided to have the groom’s boutonniere recreated. It was a smaller Succulent, Ranunculus, Lavender, and some Caspia and greens.

“Erin did such an amazing job recreating my bouquet and husband’s boutonnière! They look almost exactly like the original and were very thoughtfully put together! She was very easy to work with and was even willing to incorporate flowers that I had found on my own! She completed them in a very timely manner and even sent me pictures throughout the process to get my input! The bouquet and boutonnière are absolutely beautiful and were exactly what I had imagined! I would definitely recommend Love is Blooming!”

Fairy Tale Themed Silk Bridal Bouquet

, , , ,

When you hear about Fairy Tale Themed weddings, you might think, but where do they get the friendly woodland creatures to surround them on their magical day?? Ok, so maybe that’s just what I think of ;) How about a wedding held outdoors at the very unique Minnesota Rennaissance Festival for that dreamy, fairy tale wedding? That is where bride Sarah is headed later this summer for her enchanting ceremony with these silk wedding flowers.

This awesomely big bouquet was filled with a variety of textures and colors. It incorporated ivory Roses, lavender Cabbage Roses, plum Peonies, Lavender sprigs, lavender and wisteria Heather, lavender Hydrangea, Ivy and Eucalyptus.

Sarah liked the idea of wrapping the handle with two different colors of ribbon. I used a classic ballet tie with an Antique White base with Lavender satin criss-crossed over the top. It felt like the beginnings of a bouquet fit for royalty, but adding in a bunch of ribbon streamers seemed like the perfect way to make a bouquet fit for a princess.

Lavender, Violet, and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Lavender has been another hot color this year. And what’s fun is that my brides have chosen some really pretty ways to accent the lavender. This custom silk cascading bridal bouquet is a great example of using a pastel color in a mix of wedding flowers and textures so that it doesn’t feel dated or too muted.

I used a violet Phalaenopsis Orchid along with lavender and ivory Roses with some Smilax for a pop of green. I really like how the contrast between the ivory and violet is bridged by that soft lavender.

Antique white ribbon for a bridal touch.

The matching bridesmaid bouquet was a really pretty mix of lavender Roses, a few violet Orchids and Smilax. I wrapped the handle with Rosewater ribbon which is a nice in between pink and purple shade. It was a perfect fit on for this bouquet.

silk-wedding-flowers-custom-bridal-bouquet.jpg

The cute little toss bouquet incorporated ivory and lavender Roses and violet Orchids. I wrapped the handle in Antique White satin ribbon and added tails in Rosewater.

Lavender, Plum, and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Plum is one of those amazing jewel tones that usually gets paired up with other jewel tones-teal, burgundy, gold, etc. But I took it another direction and lightened things up a bit with lavender and ivory with some soft gray greenery in this silk bridal bouquet and wedding flowers.

This cascading bridal bouquet of Ranunculus, Roses, Lavender and Lamb’s ear is soft and romantic, but also eye catching with the high contrast of plum and ivory.

“My flowers were above & beyond my expectations. The colors were stunning, and the quality was immaculate. The price was nothing compared to the way my flowers looked. Absolutely beautiful job!!”
— Justine | Minnesota

The bridesmaid bouquet was a handtied style without the traditional round shape. By spreading out the Lamb’s ear and keeping it loose and playful, we have bridesmaid bouquets that are memorable and fun.

This simple toss bouquet incorporates all the color and all the flowers and greenery in a sweet little clutch bouquet.

Silk Wedding Flowers in Wisteria and Ivory

,

Besides burgundy and blush, the other hot color that I’ve seen a lot this year is purple! Whether it’s a light lavender, a royal purple or something in between, it seems that purple is a timeless color accent for a wedding in any season.

If you’re not sure about finding an exact match in purples, you can go the route we did with Alli’s bridal bouquet and wedding flowers. Her bridesmaid dress color was Wisteria and she got a little panicked walking around a craft store comparing her swatch to the other purples. I found a variety of silk wedding flowers in a variety of purples and softened everything up with some greens and baby’s breath and it was a perfect match! Her bouquets consisted of Roses, Ranunculus, mini Tulips, Lavender, Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

The bridal bouquet—a modified cascade style.

A Jr. Bridesmaid bouquet.

For the boutonnieres and corsages we kept is simple with the lavender Roses as the main flower and then accented with some of the smaller filler flowers from the bouquets.

Alli had also ordered centerpieces for half of the tables that would be at her reception. I made custom, matching arrangements that would slip right into the vases that she had purchased at a local store. Isn’t that vase amazing?

Alli was so fun to work with and I loved the fact that she kept thinking of more arrangements she wanted to add. After she picked up her first round of flowers, she decided a few more things would finish up their wedding decor. For the other half of their reception tables, Alli had gold lanterns that she was putting on top of a mirror. She sent me the measurements and wanted some greens and bit of purple to add to the overall look.

custom-wedding-centerpieces-silk-bridal-bouquet-flowers.jpg
silk-bridal-bouquet-wedding-flowers-custom-centerpieces.jpg

I suggested the same idea was used for Janelle’s centerpieces (scroll to the bottom of this post). I experimented with how many sprigs of Seeded Eucalyptus would go around a 6 inch square vase and gave her a few options for the amount of purple. I trimmed and prepped all the flowers and bundled them up for her. This was a great cost-saving idea because Alli still got matching flowers and greens but without the cost of custom arrangements.

This toss bouquet was also a later addition. Same flowers found throughout the other bouquets. Cute, right?

Lastly, she had recently been to a wedding where they had simple aisle arrangements. I was able to come up with a similar design and added a simple ribbon loop with tails for an elegant way to hang them from the chairs.

Lavender Rose and Lisianthus Bridal Bouquet Recreation

,

Wedding bouquets are a big part of the big day. Even years later, Erik and his wife still remember the colors and arrangement of the wedding flowers she carried down the isle. As an anniversary gift, Erik requested a recreation in silk to last as long as the memory will. Here’s another awesome bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers.

Erik’s wife’s bouquet featured lavender Roses, darker purple Lisianthus and white Stephanotis. I tied it off with a simple satin Antique White ribbon wrap. So sweet and a great reminder of a special day for them. If you are looking for an anniversary gift, look no further! Contact me today about a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers.

Incorporating Dried Flowers in your Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation

There have been a few instances where I wasn't able to track down a silk version of a specific flower that I need to fully recreate a bridal bouquet in silk flowers. In those instances, I found an awesome and true-to-the-design replacement with dried elements.  That was the case with Kyle's bridal bouquet recreation for his wife.  She had this adorable bouquet that had the ever so unique Gomphrena throughout. I searched through my various suppliers and wasn't able to find what I needed so I turned to a dried flower vendor on Etsy. It was a great way to support another small business and bring this bouquet to life.

The original bouquet was picked on a farm of whatever happened to be growing at the time. It included white Dahlias, Lavender Roses, Scabiosa, Gomphrena and greenery.  Lovely!

Brandon also wanted his boutonniere recreated. A lavender Rose, Scabiosa and a couple of those cute little Gomphrena and tied off with the same charcoal satin ribbon as was on the bridal bouquet recreation.

Here's a photo of the original bouquet; awesome, right? Photo provided by: Laura's Focus Photography.
