I absolutely love the versatility that custom silk wedding flowers affords brides of any budget. Maricel reached out to me about a unique idea for ceremony and reception silk flowers. When she emailed me, she asked, “We were wondering if it would be possible to make the aisle arrangements in such a way that it could be broken apart into smaller pieces and reused as table decor during the reception?”
Her idea was both creative and budget friendly, and you know I’m all about both of those things! They were planning on using wood boxes for both the ceremony decor and centerpiece containers, so that was an easy way to make sure that what I created would fit both spaces. Let’s take a look at what I came up with for Maricel’s silk flower aisle arrangements and centerpieces so they could do double duty! Here are some lovely photos by Andrew Do Photography!
All of the arrangements consisted of a variety of white and champagne flowers, touches of blush pink and greenery. We included white Lilies, mini Cabbage Roses, Phalaenopsis Orchids and Gardenia in white, champagne Hydrangea, pink Peonies, Garden Roses and Eucalyptus, lush green Fern and Ruscus. Each aisle piece was actually two smaller arrangements placed together for a nice full look.
For the reception, they just needed a few helping hands to grab the aisle arrangements, separate the two small bouquets and place each one in a container on the reception tables. Easy and budget friendly!
“Erin was incredibly responsive, creative, and resourceful. She truly made our vision come true. She also remained patient, flexible and transparent about what was possible with our budget. I would recommend her to anyone looking for truly unique floral arrangements for their special moments in life.”
I know I’ve given you a list of my top 10 reasons brides choose silk wedding flowers, but I think we can add this example as an 11th reason! Custom silk wedding flower arrangements can handle being handled, moved, and used for your entire wedding day without need of water, the perfect temperature or a professional installation.
