Malibu Sunset | Blue & Orange Wedding Flowers

Does that title make anyone else think about your 90's era Barbie dolls?  WHATever! (said with a valley girl accent)

Kristi and I met for her consultation and she reminded me that we had met waaaaaaaay back in January of 2010 at the Maple Grove Bridal Expo.  Her future mother-in-law had been the one to organize the whole shebang and had kept my contact info. Kinda gave me the warm fuzzies.

Kristi's had a unique situation for her orange, Malibu blue, and ivory wedding.  She really wanted a fresh flower bouquet for herself but wanted to use the more budget-friendly silks for everything else.  Though this is a less conventional route, it's not at all a problem!

When it came to the actual flowers, she wasn't picky about the type, but really wanted to find flowers in the Malibu color. I searched through my many resources and found these pretty, full-petal daisies in the perfect shade. The roses were a shade of orange that wasn't too harsh and really complemented the Malibu flowers. We tossed in some Stephanotis for a hint of ivory and finished the bouquets up with silver satin ribbon.  Beautiful!

The boutonnieres and corsage matched in color, but we chose a different flower for the father's and mother's just to set them apart a little bit.

Thanks again to Kristi for choosing me after all this time – glad to know my work was memorable!

Magenta and Malibu | Silk Wedding Flowers: Part 2

Okay, so I got a little crazy about that last bit, but can you blame me?  So today we have all the fun little arrangements that get worn or carried.

The man of the hour has a white Orchid and accent magenta Orchids:

The best man's bout is a little more simplified, 2 magenta Orchids:

The ring bearer's bout is a small white Orchid, Malibu ribbon and magnet so he doesn't poke his precious 3-year-old fingers:

I might have needed a moment alone to say good bye to these beauties when Becca came to pick them.  Ok not really, well maybe.  Thanks Becca for choosing Love is Blooming for your custom silk wedding flowers!
