Tropical Elopement Bouquet Recreation - Reveal

One of the many perks of my job is getting to see some lovely tropical wedding photos! Sonya sent me a few photos of her awesome tropical bouquet from their elopement to the Virgin Islands. She wasn’t able to bring the bouquet back with her and wanted to have a permanent reminder of their special day, so we worked together to make sure her bouquet was recreated as accurately as possible. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside some photos of the original bouquet. All photos were provided by Sonya and her photographer was a recommendation of her officiant on the island.

It was fun to recreate this tropical elopement bouquet for display in Sonya’s home! And the best part is that I unknowingly sent her the progress photos the day before her anniversary. It was a really special surprise for her and fun for me since I had no idea!

Recreating a Reality Show Bridal Bouquet in Silk Wedding Flowers

Tiffany emailed me photos of her tropical destination wedding bridal bouquet to find out if I could recreate it for her with silk wedding flowers. The more I emailed with her, the more interesting things got! You see, Tiffany’s wedding appeared on a reality show called: My Great Big Lifetime Wedding. How cool is that? Armed with the pictures she sent me, her memories from the big day and a list from the florist, I got to work tracking down all the various flowers and tropical greens I would need to recreate this very large, very beautiful bouquet. Take a look!

Scale can be hard to represent in a photo, but this bouquet landed somewhere between “large and in charge” and behemoth.

The bouquet included: pink Protea, orange Orchids, white and blue Tweedea, Ranunculus, Gloriosa lilies, green and white Cymbidium orchids, Monstera leaves, variegated lily grass and a touch of jumbo white heather.
