Bright and Happy Custom Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Corbin found me on his hunt for a special anniversary gift for his wife. He shared with me that they had moved recently and had to decide about keeping her “old, dried up bridal bouquet.” They ultimately decided to say goodbye to it, but his wife kept a bouquet of silk flowers from her friend’s wedding. That gave Corbin the idea to have her bouquet recreated in silk flowers. And that’s how he found me! He sent me photos of her bouquet, and I loved how bright and happy and full of texture her bouquet was. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original, featured in these photos by MLE Photo Art by Emily Wysocki.

The original bouquet was a large, loose handtied style bouquet with some draping greenery. It consisted of peach Roses, cream Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, blue Delphinium, pink Delphinium, yellow Freesia, Queen Anne’s Lace, Ruscus, Sword Eucalyptus, Gunni Eucalyptus and small filler greens.

“I was looking for a 4th anniversary gift for my wife and came across Love Is Blooming - Erin is fantastic to work with. She recreated my wife’s wedding day bouquet from pictures and we have it in a vase in our home as a reminder of our that day. It is amazing what Erin is able to do - they look exactly the same as the real flowers 4 years ago. My wife loves it and it will remain a part of our home for years. Thanks Erin!”

Berry, Purple, Peach and Pink Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I am SO excited to share a wedding today that accomplished the feat of being bright and moody! Marissa’s custom silk wedding flowers had pops of bright tones in berry purple, peach and pink, but at the same time had depth and texture and greenery that kept it toned down. When you put the flowers against a beautiful natural backdrop like they had, it was perfect! Let’s take a look at these amazing photos by Mountain Meandering Photography.

Marissa’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of berry Dahlia, peach Cabbage Roses, magenta Peony, peach and plum Ranunculus, berry Tea Roses, Willow greens, Olive greens, pink Waxflower, bright pink Carnation, watermelon and burgundy roses. When it was put together, Marissa made a few tweaks of flower placement and then gave her stamp of approval!

The bridesmaids wore the most gorgeous shade of berry pink, not too bright and not too purple. They carried clutch style bouquets with a mix of magenta Peonies, berry Tea Roses and peach Ranunculus and greenery

The guys wore flowers that were featured in the bouquets with the groom wearing a berry Tea Rose with touches of magenta and peach and the groomsmen wore peach Ranunculus with a tiny bit of Waxflower. The littlest guy, the ringbearer had a Tea Rose bud and Waxflower.

“Erin did such an amazing job making my wedding flowers. I know it may seem a little nerve-racking ordering wedding flowers online, but Erin was so helpful during the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with how my bouquet turned out. And the best part is, it will stay beautiful forever! I highly recommend having silk flowers for your wedding, especially from Love is Blooming! Thanks again so much.”
— Marissa | Washington

Some of my favorite detail shots from her wedding day! Don’t you love the lacey look to her dress? And all the bling from her shoes and jewelry? Stunning!

A huge thank you to Marissa for sharing her wedding day photos with me so I can share them with you! Are you looking for a similar combination of bright and moody? Then let’s talk flowers!

Red, Peach, Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

I have been WAITING for this day to share Brandi and Troy’s STUNNING red, peach, pink and white silk wedding flowers. There is a touch of everything in these wedding florals including tropical, romantic, lush, and even a little art deco. AND WAIT TIL YOU SEE THEIR CAKE! Have I communicated my excitement enough yet? Thanks to Jennifer Juniper Photography for telling the story of Brandi and Troy’s wedding day so well!

Here’s our happy couple! They wanted everything to be packed with meaning for their big day, so I wanted to make sure the flowers were on par with everything else. Brandi’s modified cascade bouquet was a mix of peach cabbage roses, off white orchids, deep red ranunculus, peach ranunculus, red poppy, burgundy roses, red Freesia, burgundy Dahlia, bright pink roses, salmon ranunculus and rose pink Ranunculus.

What I enjoyed about looking through all these images is that everyone’s personality is so evident! They not only took into account their own personalities, but the personalities of their friends and family.

Their wedding took place at the Maitland Art Center and the setting was not only unique but just breathtakingly gorgeous. The pieces I created for the ceremony and reception sites needed to match the grandeur, and the style of our couple. Let’s take a look!

I created custom altar arrangements that incorporate a lot of the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in pieces that added some drama and color to the back drop.

Next up is the cake! Brandi sent me an inspiration photo and wanted two custom pieces to drape up and down the layers.

With such a beautiful venue, smaller centerpieces was the perfect choice! I made a few different types and Brandi had containers already picked out and ready to go. I made the centerpieces “bouquet” style, meaning they were ready to just drop in the vases!

Here’s a few more photos of our awesome couple!

Brandi shared this awesome video of Troy’s band, The Edge Effect, singing during the ceremony.

What a joy it is for me to get to be a part of the wedding of so many special couples. Are you looking for showstopping flower arrangements? Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to talk about design ideas!

Peach, White, and Succulent Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

While it’s too late for a Christmas gift idea for this year, a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers is a great idea for an anniversary, Valentine’s, birthday or ‘just because’ gift in 2023. Here’s a great example of a custom bouquet recreation for a local client. Spencer sent me a few photos of his wife’s bouquet, and I got to work finding the perfect flowers and greens to recreate it. Let’s take a look at the recreation and the original bouquet, side-by-side. Photos of the original bouquet are by the very talented Jordan Blanchard Photography.

This stunning bouquet was a mix of peach Cabbage Roses, white Hydrangea, pale peach Gardenia, white Astilbe, Succulents, Eucalyptus Seeds, Silver Dollar and Sword Eucalyptus in a round, handtied style.

“My wife and I were living in New Orleans when we were married while we were renovating our house. After our wedding, our house came together, but her bouquet from it fell apart. Damaged from construction debris, dust, and eventually a move to Minnesota, we lost something we expected to cherish for a long time. We recently celebrated our four year anniversary and when my wife told me this years theme, I knew exactly what I wanted to get her. I searched online for bouquet recreations and stumbled on Erin. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and clear in her communication. Most importantly, what she created is perfect. It’s hard to tell the difference between the original bouquet and the recreation.”
— Spencer | Minnesota

Spencer was able to send me some awesome detail shots of the bouquet that allowed me to really examine it for all the details.

The original bouquet had a small wrapping of off white satin ribbon with a overlay of lace. While I wasn’t able to get the exact lace, I found a close enough piece that mimicked the original bouquet.

Peach, Desert Coral and Soft Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I LOVED the color palette of Cheyenne’s custom silk wedding flowers. Her bridesmaids were wearing shades of peach, desert coral and soft yellow and we wanted to incorporate those colors as closely as possible along with sunflowers as a main flower. I sent her some photos of flower suggestions and we narrowed them down to the perfect combination! Let’s look at these beautiful photos from her photographer that you can find here: Little Laugh Box on Facebook.

Cheyenne carried a cascading style bouquet with soft yellow Sunflowers, Toast Roses, Peach Roses, and ivory Cabbage Roses. We added a hint of Seeded Eucalyptus for contrast and it was such a stunning bouquet.

I love these detail shots!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of Toast Roses, ivory Cabbage Roses a single Sunflower and some greenery. They worked so well with the bridesmaid dress colors!

“Erin was wonderful to work with, and her prices are so affordable for her work! She worked with me from the start on selecting colors, suggesting ideas, and making sure I got everything I wanted. I am so glad I found her to do the floral arrangements, and the silk bouquets look incredible! My favorite part of having silk flowers is that I can keep them forever! I currently have my wedding bouquet on my fireplace mantle on display.

If you’re hesitant on getting silk flowers, I can testify that they are just as good (if not better) than real flowers! I will be telling everyone I know to use Erin for their floral needs. ”
— Cheyenne | Texas

Cheyenne also wanted some flowers for an accent on her cake. We decided which flowers we wanted on there and I sent them loose for her baker to place on the cake.

Thanks again to Cheyenne, for sharing her wedding day with us! Are your bridesmaids wearing a variety of colors that you’d like to match your flowers to?

Rust, Taupe, and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

Remember when I shared Tiara’s wedding flowers with you a few weeks ago? Her wedding flowers prominently featured taupe in her color scheme along with burgundy. Here’s another beautiful wedding that incorporated taupe along with rust, peach, burgundy and ivory in this gorgeous outdoor wedding.

A huge thank you to Lisa Sherwood Photography for these breathtaking photos!

The bridal bouquet was a combination of rust Roses, apricot Roses, peach Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia, taupe Roses and Orchids, sage Fern, Sword and Seeded Eucalyptus. Her bouquet was a full, moody, but lively round handtied style bridal bouquet.

Her altar was picture perfect, so we had just a few custom altar arrangements to complement that beautiful, natural backdrop for their day.

This fall wedding is a great example of another way to “do” fall flowers. We incorporated some of the favorite fall colors (burgundy and orange), but added some surprising elements like lots of texture and taupe flowers.

Bright and Bold Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal

, ,

Here in Minnesota, it’s January. That means a little dark, a lot cold, and snow. I thought I’d share a really bright and bold set of silk wedding flowers with you to bring a little spark to this Monday! Kelsey’s color combination is bursting with brightness, but the unexpected variation in texture is what really sets the bridal bouquet apart. Kelsey contacted me looking for custom silk wedding flowers that were happy and colorful. She gave me some suggestions to go along with the look she had in mind along and a link to her favorite inspiration bouquet. Take a look at what we came up with!

Kelsey is radiating joy in these pictures and I’m so glad to have been able to match that same spirit in her bouquet. Her modified cascade silk bridal bouquet was a mix of magenta Peonies, orange Pincushion Protea, yellow Billy Buttons, peach and blush Roses, bright pink Freesia, white Delphinium, blue Thistle, white Hops, Willow Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. She liked the idea of ribbon tails in a few colors so we added a little more blue and white to finish off the look.

The bridesmaid bouquets were pared back versions with a smaller mix of those flowers in a clutch style bouquet. They really popped against their blush pink gowns.

These awesome photos were provided by Nick G. who is moving on from his career in photography, but I’m so grateful for his permission to share his beautiful work!

Alaskan Destination Wedding-Reveal and Review

, , ,

Bohemian, or boho, style bouquets have been all the rage the last year or two. This bridal bouquet is a great example of this style. Take a look at these amazing photos by Dallin and Cienna of bride Roxanna and her crew. Roxanna is from my area but drove out to Alaska for her destination wedding. How cool is that?!

Her modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet was a muted mix of beige, peach, and ivory Roses, Peonies, and Delphinium. We didn’t want anything too traditional look so we added lots of natural textures provided by the Artichoke, Amaranthus, Wheat, Fern and Sword Eucalyptus. To complete the look, I tied lots of ribbon tails in different shades of champagne and ivory. Roxanna was awesome at communicating her style with me and I think we did a great job working together to create a bouquet that matched her dress and her surroundings.

“Working with Erin was a heaven sent for me! By that I mean I had a very specific idea in my vision for my bouquet. Although it was very hard for me to explain. We went through quite a few trials until we absolutely nailed it! She was so unbelievably patient, and kind throughout our process. I am so grateful to have worked with her, and I highly recommend!”
— Roxanna | Minnesota

The bridesmaids carried simple bouquets of white Peonies and Olive greenery. I love the way they accentuated the variety of their dress colors.

Peach, Coral, and Magenta Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

I have another lovely wedding to share with you today as we inch our way into the holidays and a time of year that could use some flowery brightness! These coral, peach, and pink silk wedding flowers were fun to design. Take a look at these amazing photos from Danya Chen Photography.

The bridal bouquet was a round handtied style bouquet with Peonies, Ranunculus, and Poppies in different shades of pink, peach, coral and white. I added Silver Dollar Eucalyptus for greenery and made a nice full bridal bouquet!

I really do love this simple style of wedding cakes these days! Some accent flowers that matched the bouquets were added by the baker to incorporate her theme and flowers.

Peach, Pink, Blue, and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, ,

I love a spring bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers. This one was especially fun to design. Caroline gave me some creative leeway in designing her custom bouquets. She knew she wanted peach, pink, blue, and yellow then let me figure out the rest. I’m excited that later this week, I can share a few of her amazing photos!

The bridal bouquet was a round handtied style that was loose and whimsical. It incorporated peach Cabbage Roses and Poppies, pink Cosmos, blue Heather and yellow Billy Buttons. I suggested some Lamb’s Ear for a soft touch of “greenery” and Caroline was game. You can’t tell from the photos but this bouquet not only looked bouncy and light and fun, but it had some movement to it that made it even more real looking!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a similar mix of flowers, but I switched out the large Poppies for smaller ones to account for the smaller bouquet size.

The boutonnieres and corsages had the same mix of bright colors and interesting textures. Each one a little different from the other, but all matched the theme and color scheme of the bouquets.

Check back later this week to see our beautiful bride Caroline and her beautiful custom silk wedding flowers!

Review of Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flowers

All of my bridal bouquet recreations in silk flowers are special, but there is just something about Adam's 1st Anniversary Bouquet order that was a little extra special.  Maybe it's the cream Roses, peach Stock, Cafe Au' Lait Dahlias, cream Peonies, or the pink Lisianthus? Maybe it's all of it together for his sweet bride!

Here's a few photo of the original bouquet provided by Rita Temple Photography out of California. 

bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-flowers.jpg
bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-flowers.jpg

Adam knew that the special wrap and broach was saved after his wife's bouquet had lost its luster. So we wrapped the recreation in a simple satin ribbon so when he received it, he could add the lace and fabric wrap and broach as another part of the surprise.

Here's what Adam's beautiful wife had to say about her silk bridal bouquet recreation:

“I can’t imagine opening anything more beautiful or sentimental on our 1st wedding anniversary. I spent the year after our wedding saying how much I loved my wedding bouquet and how much I missed it. Now I get to enjoy it everyday. The attention to detail, skill, and creativity that went into my replica bouquet is simply amazing. When my husband gave it to me, I initially thought he had gotten another bouquet made from our florist. The flowers you used are so realistic. Thank you for giving me a tangible piece of my wedding day that I can cherish always. ”
— Blair | California

Whether it's your first anniversary, like Adam and Blair, or your 50th, a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers is a timeless treasure to give to that special lady in your life! Contact me today to find out how to get started!

Coral and White Wedding Roses

Coral and seems to be one of those colors that is everywhere. And coral and white are just made for each other, which is they are showing up in more 2016 weddings. From the soft and feminine palette, to a more saturated and vibrant tone, it's a classic combination that won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

I particularly love Ranunculus, as do many brides, so when I found these perfect peach and coral Ranunculus for a bride it was a match made in heaven.  I tucked the Ranunculus in between white Roses in a random manner and it turned out looking whimsical and dainty and shabby chic all at the same time. This is one of my favorites!

When you've got such a great bouquet, you want to finish it off just as well.  I found this peach Muslin that was the perfect complement to the bouquet and added a rustic charm.  Taking it another step further, I added twine in the center and it all came together.  We mirrored the look in the Groom's boutonniere with two tones of Ranunuclus, Muslin wrap and a bit of the twine.  A perfect pair! 

Corsages and boutonnieres in matching styles and colors enhance the overall picture that your flowers give your guests.  While it may seem overwhelming to think about the designs for all those personal arrangements, you can leave it to me to come up with coordinating corsages and boutonnieres that will photograph well, hold up to all those hugs, and work with the design of your stunning bridal bouquet.  Get in touch with me to order your coral and white silk wedding bouquet and hear more about the designs that can make it all work together.
