Dusty Rose and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love to share all my weddings, but the soft and romantic color palettes will always have my heart! Jennifer’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of white and dusty pink flowers with a touch of greenery. I was so excited to show her a few new options I had found including the dusty pink Lilac. Those lacey little flowers added so much texture with just a kiss of color. Let’s take a look at these wonderful images by Nikki Joachim Photography to see what Jennifer and I came up with together!

Jennifer specified that she wanted a loose look to the bouquets with space between things. She decided on the round handtied style, and I made some suggestions for a full bouquet that wouldn’t mean every flower would be packed in tightly. Her bouquet consisted of champagne Roses, ivory Ranunculus, dusty pink Lilac, white seeds, Lamb's Ear, white Larkspur, ivory Garden Roses, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and small leaf Eucalyptus.

Jennifer’s bridesmaid carried a matching style bouquet, just a bit smaller. The boutonnieres combined the ivory flowers and bits of the dusty pink Lilac with greenery to match the ladies.

“Erin was easy to work with and finished the project much earlier than I expected. I just showed her a few photos of what I liked and she created something beautiful with them.”

At the altar was a table that I designed a swag/garland combination piece for. The center was a spray of Roses, Lilac and greens with long Eucalyptus pieces trailing from both sides. It filled the table nicely without being over the top. The best part is, they were able to use at there reception site for their sweetheart table as well.

Burgundy and White Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

Earlier this year I waxed poetic about sunflowers, and cascading bridal bouquets, and probably the color purple. But I hereby declare 2020 (besides being a ridiculous year) the year of burgundy wedding flowers. And as I just sent my first 2021 wedding off to it’s happy home, it looks like burgundy may be the color of 2021 as well. Here’s another example of some beautiful burgundy silk wedding flowers for a wedding earlier this fall.

Morgan initially approached me about creating a custom modified cascade style bridal bouquet for herself. She hoped to DIY the rest of her bouquets to save money. But after she saw her show stopping custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers, she came back for a second order that included bridesmaid bouquets and a toss bouquet to match. Take a look at these modern styled bouquets filled with lush greenery and high contrast colors.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Peonies, white Roses, Seeded and Blue Eucalyptus, Sage greenery, white Heather, and green Amaranthus. This unique shape, the modified cascade, is becoming more popular as brides are looking for a more modern take on a traditional tear drop cascade.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller clutch style bouquets with just a handful of the burgundy Peonies and white Roses. I gave it that same loose look with all that awesome greenery.

Toss bouquets are traditionally smaller than the bridesmaid bouquets. Though there is always the option for a bigger bouquet if you want something more substantial to toss. Morgan opted for a smaller toss bouquet that we set apart with some pretty ribbon tails (left photo). She also decided to order a mini bouquet for her flower girl. It was essentially the same size as the toss bouquet, just without the ribbon tails.
