Tropical Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

Cory’s custom bridal bouquet recreation was a fun one to make. I love the bright colors and the high contrast in this round handtied bouquet. They were married in Jamaica at The Couple Negril resort. What I like about this bouquet is that it has touches of tropical but also has a classic look to it. Let’s take a look at these photo by Jason Thorpe!

“Erin did an amazing job recreating the wedding bouquet for my wife for our 4th anniversary. We got married in Jamaica and could not bring our wedding bouquet home to the US. Erin was able to match the flower species in the bouquet perfectly using only a few photos I sent her from our wedding. I feel like the service alone of knowing what the flowers were was worth more than the price I paid for the bouquet. The bouquet looks amazingly like the original wedding bouquet, and doesn’t look like the normal “fake” flowers I have seen. My wife was blown away by how beautiful the bouquet looked. I would definitely recommend Erin and Love Is Blooming to anyone!!!”

Wedding Flowers in Fall Colors | Part I

I wanted to bring some color into today because I'm needing a break from the white outside.  We just got several more inches of snow dumped on us because it's still winter here in Minnesota and who knows when it will ever end!

Anyways, here are local bride Jill's beautiful fall bouquets using some more vibrant colors instead of the typical gold, burgundy, and sage.  Here we used Tiger Lilies, red Gerbera daisies, lime Button Mums, orange/yellow Calla Lilies, and Hypericum berries.

One unique touch for the bridal bouquet was that Jill wanted to include a family handkerchief that had special meaning to her and her family.  She didn't want to make it a focal point, so we tucked it in the back where she could feel it as she walked down the aisle.

Jill really liked the look of the Callas on their own, however when we put them together, they needed a little something.  We added a bit of greenery and voila, they looked complete!

The hanky in the bridal bouquet wasn't the only sentimental touch in this wedding, check back tomorrow to see how we included a hanky in a corsage.  A corsage!  (I promise it will be worth the read.)

Bold and Beautiful - Part1

As you may have noticed, purple has been a recurring theme in many of the weddings I've done this year. There have been all sorts of beautiful shades showing up in the flowers--lilac, lavender, aubergine, and eggplant. My brides and I have found all sorts of ways to match their color choices, and if you haven't guessed by now, I'm about to show you another wedding featuring purple!

Nikki, another local bride, came to me with a fun and bold color palette. Her girls are going to wear "tangerine" and she also wanted some purple and lime green thrown into the mix. We went back to the ever popular button mums for the lime factor, found some beautiful fresh touch orchids for the tangerine twist, we hunted down some delicious rich daisies for our purple accent, and then included green and white roses to fill everything out.

These flowers were fun, splashy, and full of zest, just like the happy couple.
