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.

White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Last fall, I did a series on white silk wedding flowers with greenery. I had shared these wedding flowers that I photographed on my dining room table and it just didn’t do them justice! Let’s take a look at Rachel’s delicate white silk flower bouquets in these gorgeous images from Liv Naturally Photography.

Rachel’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with Lily of the Valley, Baby’s Breath and Stephanotis with Lamb’s Ear, Olive greenery and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The we simplified the bridesmaids to be more of a clutch size bouquet with Baby’s Breath, Lily of the Valley, Stephanotis and just a touch of greenery. It was a perfect look to go with their sage green dresses.

Rachel’s mom, Jill, was actually the one I primarily worked with to design and bring Rachel’s vision to life for her Duluth wedding.

“Erin was so great to work with. We provided lots of information and pictures of what my daughter wanted for her wedding flowers, and Erin hit it out of the ballpark! She kept us updated, and provided photos along the way, to be sure my daughter was happy with the look. But, when we received them they were so much more beautiful than the pictures depicted. My daughter is petite (read, short :-)) and she didn’t want something that would overwhelm and cover her up too much and Erin really listened and payed attention to all the details. Thank you so much for your part in making my daughter’s wedding such a beautiful day in May!!”
— Jill | Minnesota

Wildflower Silk Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

, ,

I have had a number of sisters and moms who have worked with me closely to create custom silk wedding flowers for their sister/daughter. Today’s wedding is a great example of that! When I got Emily’s email on behalf of her sister, Jenna, I knew Jenna was in good hands. Emily was so easy to work with and communicated Jenna’s vision very clearly. One of the features of her wedding was to include Buffalo Plaid in her wedding décor for an Oregon Coast wedding. Jenna also had a solid list of flowers and types of greenery to include: red Tulips, yellow Daffodil, blue Forget-Me-Nots, white Lily of the Valley , purple Columbine and yellow and green Aspen leaves. Scroll down to see how these all combined into her beautiful round handtied bridal bouquet!

“I can’t thank you enough for taking care of us! You did such a beautiful job. Everyone loved the flowers and I got SO many compliments!”
— Jenna | Oregon

The bridesmaids wore these beautiful emerald dresses. We simplified their bouquets to be a mix of Tulips, Daffodils and green Aspen leaves. You can kind of see the buffalo plaid wrap on the handles of their bouquets.

I want to be sure and give credit for these beautiful images to Jennifer Lauren Photography. If you are in her area and need a skilled photographer for your wedding, check out her website for more information!

White Silk Wedding Flowers with Greenery- Part 1 Delicate Blooms

, ,

This week, I want to feature a couple of weddings where the main event was white wedding flowers and greenery. Today, we’re going the delicate route! This bride knew she wanted a mix of Baby’s Breath, Lily of the Valley and Greenery. I suggested we add in a few Stephanotis to mix up the sizing of flowers but still keeping it smaller scaled. She liked my greenery suggestions of Olive greens, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. Here’s the silk bridal bouquet:

For the bridesmaid bouquets, she wanted to reduce the size, and composition. They were made up of Baby’s Breath, Stephanotis and just a few leaves of greenery.

The toss bouquet was a smaller version of the bridal bouquet with some ribbon tails. The boutonnieres and corsages incorporated all our pretty little buds in different combinations. We did add a spray rose to the mother’s pin on corsages to make them a little more substantial.

Check back later this week to see another example of white silk wedding flowers with greenery!
