Butterfly Pavilion Wedding Flowers - Reveal

Audrey reached out to me about her spring wedding that was taking place inside a butterfly house! There were a few things to work around for her wedding flowers. The Butterfly pavilion had some specific guidelines to protect the butterflies including: nothing living or once living could be brought inside. She had already picked out Sola wood centerpieces for her reception, but wanted something special and complementary for her bouquet, and a few boutonnieres and corsages. Let’s take a look at these photos by Authentic Moments Photography by Andrew Miner.

Audrey’s bouquet was a loose, round handtied style bouquet with a mix of raspberry and plum Poppies, blush Peonies and Roses, raspberry Tea Roses, Lavender, purple Hydrangea, Mums and Dahlia, Eucalyptus and Ruscus. I love when I get to do something less common for ribbon and Audrey was game for incorporating two colors-sheer white and satin Rosewater. They complemented her dress beautifully and set her bouquet apart even more!

Audrey was very thoughtful about the colors that went into each arrangement. She did a great job picking out which flowers went in each boutonniere and corsage, based on what was in her bouquet. She made my job a piece of cake! This photo shows the groom’s bout and one of the mom’s wrist corsages. They all match!

I love this shot-such joy!

How about this for decor??

Lavender and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

Pretty often I hear stories of bouquet preservations gone wrong. Stephanie reached out to me about her stunning bouquet that met that very fate after her COVID wedding. I was excited to be able to bring it back to life with high quality silk flowers. Her custom bridal bouquet recreation turned out beautifully and even better is the fact that she now gets a special piece of her wedding day to remember forever! And now for my favorite part, let’s take a look at her recreation alongside her original bouquet by her florist Lace and Peonies and photographed by The Ruby Company.

Stephanie’s bouquet was a mix of Anemone, white Peonies, purple Lisianthus, lavender Freesia, lavender Roses, Mums and Pittosporrum. I couldn’t find an exact match for the mums and she suggested Dahlia, so we made that switch. As you can tell from the photo she sent, it doesn’t change the overall look or feel of the bouquet. Dahlias and mums are pretty similar shape, so it was a great suggestion and one that she was happy with!

I really love the vibe of this bouquet! It has some classic flowers, varying shades of purple, lots of texture and I love the contrast of the black center of the Anemone and the collar of greenery.

ERIN!!!! HOLY COW!!!! It looks incredible!! Omg I’m actually teary. It looks just like my bouquet.

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Here in Minnesota, we just got the first flurries of snow, but I refuse to give in to winter….yet! So today I’m sharing some lovely photos from Developing Diamonds Photography of Melissa’s fall silk wedding flowers. Melissa’s teardrop cascading bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, orange Dahlia, fall Mums in gold and orange, yellow mini Ranunculus, rust Garden Roses, burgundy Peonies, blue Astilbe and Ruscus.

Melissa wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to be a little different. Our original plan was to make them a little different in composition from the bridal bouquet. We used the same mix of flowers, but incorporated Eucalyptus instead of Ruscus and left out the blue Astilbe. The awesome part about silk flowers is that when Melissa saw the progress photos, she realized she did want a touch of blue in there, so we added in a few sprigs of Astilbe and she loved it. I know I talk about it often, but it’s pretty amazing to get a big say in the design of your flowers and to have the chance to make adjustments ahead of time is priceless!

I got so many compliments on the flowers! Thank you so much for doing an amazing job!

Custom Bouquet & Boutonniere Recreation - Reveal and Review

We are in the thick of fall here in Minnesota (and unfortunately, we’ve had our first snow fall already), so today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation and custom boutonniere recreation is a perfect share on a day like today! Laura actually found me by asking Copilot, an AI powered assistant. That’s a first for me, but I’m happy however you might find me! She sent me some lovely shots by the very talented Jessica Yurko Photography and was hoping to have them done in time for her upcoming October anniversary. Let’s take a look at the arrangements!

Laura’s bridal bouquet was a handtied style with burgundy Garden and Spray Roses, Sunflowers, burgundy Calla Lilies, Billy Buttons, burgundy Mums, Queen Anne’s Lace, yellow Statice, Hypericum Berries, Pittosporum, Agonis, and some small filler greenery and seeds. I just love the rich colors and interesting textures that her florist combined!

The groom’s boutonniere was a single white Calla Lily, Hypericum Berries, yellow Statice, white Baby’s Breath, Agonis and some greenery wrapped with twine.

I found Love Is Blooming by google search. I worked closely with Erin to recreate my bouquet and my husband’s boutonniere. She worked from oddly angled photos and beautifully stylized photography, since it was three years later. Not only did Erin skillfully recreate these memories, she also recreated our original feelings! Thank you Love Is Blooming for reminding us of our very special day <3

Ivory, Champagne and Dusty Rose Silk Wedding Flowers

Carmen’s ivory, champagne and dusty rose silk wedding flowers were so fun to create. She opted for a modified cascade style bridal bouquet with a distinctly asymmetrical shape. Her bouquet was unique, the colors romantic, and the look was so classy. Scroll down to take a look!

We wanted to come up with a really soft looking bouquet. I suggested Cymbidium Orchids, toast colored Roses, ivory Peonies, dusty rose Mums, small pink Cosmos, and Lamb’s Ear.

The matching toss bouquet incorporated one Cymbidium Orchid, a toast colored Rose, dusty pink Mum, and some Lamb’s Ear with ribbon.

The matching boutonnieres and corsages:

Raspberry and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers

Janelle’s dreamy color scheme was so fun to work with! With a wine/raspberry as her main color and blush and rosegold accents, I felt like I had endless possibilities of what to include in her silk wedding flower bouquets.

What we settled on was Dahlia, Roses, Mums, and Peonies with some burgundy Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus. The bridal bouquet also included raspberry Amaranthus for a dramatic edge.

The bridesmaid bouquets were a perfect complement to the bridal bouquet.

Here’s a quick peak at some of the boutonnieres and corsages to coordinate with the bouquets.

I can’t help it, here’s one more of the bridal and bridesmaid bouquet. I’m kind of in love with this modified cascade, it’s modern and eye catching without being too over the top.

Looking for a modern twist on a classic style, silk flowers offer you the ability to see it before your big day. So no surprises when it’s too late to change anything! We can tweak it until it‘s just right without risking the beauty of the flowers.

Destination Wedding Flowers | Stargazer & Tropical Wedding Flowers Part 1

As more brides are braving the idea of a destination wedding, they are also beginning to think more outside the box on some of those "all inclusive" packages of destination wedding flowers.  One of the most common concerns of my destination clients is that they weren't given much choice, if any, when it came to their wedding flowers.  If you are anything like me, then perhaps you too would want to know exactly what you are paying for.

That's where I come in!  I met with Kali to talk about her destination wedding and her vision for her flowers.  She definitely wanted a mix of bright colors and flowers that had a tropical vibe.  Her number one request was that the bouquets included a Stargazer Lily, her favorite flower.  So with a feel for her style and a whole list of possibilities I set out to design the perfect flowers for Kali.

Bridesmaid Bouquets: Stargazer Lily, Rose buds, Orchids (green and purple), Mums:

Cascading Bridal Bouquet:  Stargazer Lilies, Orchids (green, white and purple), Rose buds, Mums:

Does that baby make you want a frosty beverage and a beach chair in the sand or what?!  Check back to see how we did the boutonnieres and corsages, including a cute starfish detail.
