There are lots of ways to honor your parents on your own wedding day. You can wear your mom’s wedding dress, commission a special flower arrangement, a written thank you in your program and the list goes on! Leah reached out to me with an idea I hadn’t heard of before—she was going to carry her mom’s silk flower bridal bouquet down the aisle and needed custom silk bridesmaid bouquets that would match it. First, let’s take a look at the photo Leah sent me to see both her dress and the bouquet she would be carrying.
Her beautiful dress was just stunning with lace and beading and delicate details. I would describe her mom’s bouquet the same way! So the trick would be to include some of those elements and design components in the bridesmaid bouquets, just with flowers from a few decades later ;) Leah sent me some fun photos of her with her girls to show off what we designed together. Here are some photos from her photographer at Alderwood Creations.
Look at all these lovely ladies! They wore different styles of sage green dresses and it really helps seal the deal on the similar but different flower arrangements.
For the bridesmaid bouquets, they carried round style bouquets with a mix of off white mini Cabbage Roses, dusty peach, Cabbage Roses and Baby’s Breath. And of course some added sage ribbon was a great way to finish off the look. And from these photos you can tell that it doesn’t matter that they flowers were created in different eras, with different types or even for a different wedding party—they turned out timeless.
“I had a great experience working with Erin on my wedding flowers! I wanted to use my mom’s silk bouquet from her wedding & have bridesmaid bouquets to match, and Erin did a great job making bridesmaid bouquets to match my mom’s flowers. She was a great communicator, and checked in with me at every step of the flower design process to make sure I was happy with them. Highly recommend working with her for any silk flower needs!”
