Bouquet recreations usually end up being a bit of a creative adventure for me. Today’s bouquet is a great example of that. Griselda reached out to me about her bouquet which was a beautiful combination of white and coral flowers…or were they purple…maybe pink? She had sent me a variety of photos, some from her beautiful professional photos with edited colors, some without, and then an edited photo that she felt best represented the actual colors of the bouquet. I’ve included some of those today so you can see how sometimes the photos need some deciphering. Let’s take a look at her beautiful bouquet created by Flower Creations by Reydon Laparan on Facebook and photographed by Douie Figuracion Photography on Facebook alongside the bouquet recreation that we made a few adjustments to.
Griselda had a great record of what was used in her bouquet and was able to send me the exact components: white Statice, Limonium, white and pink Lisianthus and Orange Jasmine greenery. One adjustment we made right away was to reduce the overall size for shipping purposes. Secondly, I wasn’t able to find a Limonium in silk flowers, but I did find a lavender Statice that Griselda was happy with. Despite looking far and wide, sometimes I can’t find exactly what was used in the original bouquet and in those instances, you get to decide if you are ok with that or not. Sometimes, the switch keeps the overall look intact without it being exact. Other times it’s a compromise and isn’t what the client is happy with. And as I say, frequently, that’s the great thing about silk flowers. I can show you ahead of time exactly what I’m using so there are no surprises with your finished product.
These next comparison photos show why working together on your bouquet recreation is super important. I absolutely love the editing done to Griselda’s wedding photo and wish my 2004 wedding photos had some of this creativity. But you can see the difference in colors and why it took some discussion to find the right color Lisianthus.
“Thank you again for recreating it so beautifully — it means so much to us and turned out even more special than I imagined.”
Griselda sent me a photo of the beautiful display she put together with other items from her wedding day. Didn’t it turn out amazing?
