Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding features something I’d never dreamed I’d see incorporated into a wedding, but then again, why not? People who love their dogs and cats include them, and I’ve made tiny silk flower arrangements for both. But today, I get to show you the flowers I created for Kaitlyn’s Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings Wedding that featured an OWL! There are also a few other birds that make an appearance, so don’t skip any of these photos from TMT Weddings!

Here’s our awesome couple! You may recognize Kaitlyn’s bouquet from Alex’s Harry Potter Themed Custom Silk Wedding Flowers I featured last year. Kaitlyn saw those flowers and loved them, so we tailored a few things to fit her Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings theme and brought her vision to life! Her modified cascade style bridal bouquet included navy Roses, silver Dusty Miller, burgundy Peonies, gold Mimosa, Olive greens and some added mixed greens for filler. What I didn’t anticipate was the magic that Kaitlyn added to it!

The bridesmaids carried round hand tied style bouquets with a Peony, gold Mimosa, navy Roses, Dusty Miller and Olive greenery. A perfect match to the bridal bouquet!

They didn’t make it in these photos, but the groomsmen had small boutonnieres with a mix of the colors in silver, elvish looking boutonniere holders. I thought that was such a unique idea!

“I had a Harry Potter/lord of the rings wedding. She did an amazing job at every little detail I asked for for my bouquets for my girls and for mine and the boys boutonnières. She kept me updated on the progress of my flowers and while I waited to receive them she responded timely to every email and/question I had for her. When they arrived they were packaged very well to not cause any damage during shipping. They arrived beautifully and brought tears to my eyes! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and everyone getting married or needing floral arrangements!”

Lavender, White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Summer is wrapping up (boo!), but before it does, I’ve got a few new weddings to share!! Lena’s pretty lavender, white and green silk wedding flowers were perfect for her May wedding and by incorporating different shades of lavenders, it made the bouquet really layered and lovely! Let’s take a look at some of these stunning photos from Rebecca Maag Photo & Design!

Lavendar White Green Silk wedding flowers custom bridal bouquet

Lena’s round handtied custom silk bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender and white Garden Roses, deep lavender Spray Roses, dark lavender Carnations and Ranunculus, pale lavender Delphinium, white Cabbage Roses, Baby’s Breath, mini Daisies, Lavender, Lamb’s Ear and small filler greenery. It was finished off with sheer gold ribbon and she added some meaningful photo charms to the handle.

I just love Lena’s dress, but check out her smile!!

For the groom’s boutonniere, this was my first time doing a pocket boutonniere. Meaning, the floral portion is attached to a square piece that slips down into his jacket pocket. It’s really quite genius! I created a pocket boutonniere that coordinated with her bouquet with a white Rose bud, Lavender, Lamb’s Ear, and a touch of Carnations and Delphinium. The benefit of an arrangement like this is that you don’t have to worry about getting them pinned on just right.

“Erin was amazing to work with every step of the way. My bouquet was everything I dreamed of and more! She even helped me with some last minute corsages that I forgot about ordering. She was helpful and communicative every step of the way.”
— Lena | Ohio

Ok, so I just had to share the cufflinks of the puppies! What a great way to make things personal to you as the couple and give little nods to the special people, or pets, in your life!

Are you trying to keep things low key for your wedding day? Perhaps custom silk wedding flowers are the right fit for you! You get to be involved in the design process so there are no surprises, you will have them in hand weeks or months ahead of time, and there’s never the possibility that they will wilt in heat or freeze in the cold.

Revisiting These Jewel Toned Summer Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

I love that even though I created today’s featured wedding flowers 3 years ago, the jewel tone color palette is still as popular as ever! You can mix and match the deep, rich colors and it can work for any season!

I love, love, loved doing these wedding flowers! Bride Catherine gave me her color palette and her permission to get creative with her bouquets, and her arrangements turned out stunning. These jewel toned summer silk wedding flowers were a mix of moody and bright colors with texture and greens for a unique look that worked for her summer wedding.

A huge thanks to these amazing images from their photographer Precious Pics!

Catherine’s handtied style round bridal bouquet was a mix of plum Tea Roses, navy Delphinium, yellow Ranunculus, orange Hydrangea, plum Poppies, orange Ranunculus, burgundy Roses, dusty pink Peonies, Blueberries and mixed greenery.

The bridesmaids carried clutch size bouquets with just a few of the flowers from the bridal bouquet, but in the same loose handtied style. All the bouquets were finished off with burlap wrap on the stems.

“I can’t say enough positive things about Love is Blooming. I had always loved the idea of a bold, jewel tone colored bouquet. However the quotes from local florists were wayyy out of our budget. I had almost given up when I came across Love is is Blooming. Erin was very responsive and did such good job listening to what I wanted while also adding in her own experience. The end result was exactly what I had been looking for at a fraction of the cost of a florist. She was even able to create a matching dog collar! I loved that I was able to get picture updates and make any adjustments before getting them and it was one less thing to have to worry about on the big day! Everyone, both guests and venue staff, at the wedding were shocked when they realized they were fake flowers as no one could tell until they were up close. Plus, my bridesmaids were so happy to be able to keep their flowers after the wedding. I am so incredibly grateful and highly recommend Love is Blooming to anyone looking for wedding flowers.”
— Catherine | Maryland

The groom’s boutonniere was a burgundy Rose, yellow Ranunculus, a bit of Hydrangea, Blueberries and matching greenery with a twine wrap on the stems.

Catherine had a lot of loved ones surrounding her on her big day and they all had a custom silk flower wedding arrangement. Even her precious pup got a custom silk flower dog collar to wear during the celebration.

Are jewel tones your jam? Love the moodier colors but getting married in the spring or summer? Let’s talk!

, , ,

I LOVE this purple and white bridal bouquet recreation that I recently made for Daniel to gift his lovely wife for their anniversary! He was able to send me some photos of the bouquet, taken by DC productions ATX. Let’s take a look at what made up this stunner of a bouquet!

DC productions ATX

This handtied bouquet was a mix of deep purple Hydrangea and Lisianthus, lavender and plum Delphinium, white Baby’s Breath and Ranunculus, Lavender sprigs and lots of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The variety of purples in this bouquet added depth and the different shapes and textures of the flowers made this such an interesting bouquet. Then you add in greenery and you have very lively bouquet!

DC productions ATX

“Erin did such a great job! My wife tried to dry out her wedding bouquet, but it didn’t go well. Erin was able to perfectly recreate the bouquet just from pictures! amazing work, I am so glad that we found her!”

Jewel Tone Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Getting to work with local couples is always fun because I get to meet them in person when they pick up their flowers. And if I’m really lucky, I get to run into them in the wild, like I did at my son’s basketball tournament recently! Amber was so easy to work with to create her custom silk wedding flower designs and so it was extra fun to see her again and meet her husband and their sweet kiddos in a school gym, of all places! She had just sent me these photos a few days before, so it was great timing to be able to share their wedding day with you! Let’s take a look at these awesome photos by Abigail Niemann Photography.

Our happy couple who look like they are having the best day ever in these pictures! Amber’s bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of emerald green Roses, white Lilies, purple Mums, burgundy and magenta Roses, cream Ranunculus, berry Tea Roses, Succulents, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus. I loved this color combination, especially with that pop of magenta in there!

The bridesmaids carried similar bouquets in a smaller handtied style. We did simplify them so that only the bridal bouquet had Liles and Succulents. That just meant Amber’s bouquet stood out even more!

I love the celebration here!

Moody Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Claire reached out to me about creating moody silk wedding flowers for her wedding day. They wanted to incorporate a variety of jewel tones for an overall darker look but with touches of medium pink. She sent me some inspiration photos with comments about she liked and what she was going for. She also mentioned to me that she wanted a smaller bridal bouquet which was super helpful because most brides this day want large bouquets. Let’s take a look at what we came up with! Claire sent me photos from the very talented Mackenzie and Cole with Seelhammer Media.

Our happy couple! Claire’s bouquet was a smaller, loose handtied style bouquet with a mix of burgundy Peonies, cream Peonies, a navy Magnolia, plum and berry Tea Roses, plum Cosmos, navy Ranunculus, pink Ranunculus and greenery.

“The flowers were beautiful! My husband and I loved how moody they were - they paired so well with our theme! We love that we were able to keep them and reuse them in our home. It’s a forever reminder of our favorite day 🤍”
— Claire | Wisconsin

Is moody your vibe? Or maybe the jewel tones have caught your eye! There is always a way to customize your custom silk wedding flowers and the best part is that you get to see them in advance. No showing up to your wedding to discover it’s not what you envisioned. Claire and I worked together to pick out just the right flowers for each arrangement and even figure out the ratio of colors so that it had the right amount of everything. If you like to be in the know and also want to check things off your wedding to-do list, silk wedding flowers might be just what you are looking for. Contact me today for more information!

Plum, Blush, Rose Gold, Navy and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I love today’s color palette of plum, blush, rose gold, navy and white silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquet. This moody look can work with any season, a ceremony at any time of day and looks great indoors or outdoors. You’re going to see what I’m talking about with these photos of Jessica’s custom silk wedding flowers by Michael Anderson Photography.

Here’s our happy couple! Jessica’s bouquet was a round ball style bouquet with a mix of white Garden Roses, plum Tea Roses, navy Garden Roses, mauve Peonies, and one navy Magnolia as a feature flower. We wanted a color that would bridge the darks and lights so we incorporated some magenta purple Ranunculus to create a nice blend. Jessica didn’t want greenery to be a focal but she wanted a touch, so we added a light collar of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus around the bottom of her bouquet. The groom’s boutonniere was a white Rose, magenta purple Ranunculus, navy accent flowers and a touch of greenery.

I LOVE this photo! The backdrop is beautiful, the warm and cozy shawls they are wearing and the variety of dress colors makes for such an interesting and lovely photo. We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to be a little different than the bridal but incorporated the same color scheme. To differentiate between their bouquets and Jessica’s, I reduced the size, changed out the white Roses for white Baby’s Breath and we did not include a Magnolia.

“Beautiful flowers for my wedding that will last a lifetime! Erin was great to work with and found me the perfect floral colors to match my wedding colors. I am very glad I chose this small business and will gladly refer Love is Blooming to family and friends.”
— Jessica | Minnesota

Burgundy, White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding feels like the perfect one to share right before Christmas! The color scheme is classic and the designs work for both a fall wedding, which is when local bride Erika walked down the aisle, or a winter wedding! Let’s take a look at these lovely photos from Agape Moments Photography to see Erika’s burgundy, white and green custom silk wedding flowers.

Here’s our awesome bridal party! The girls were in lovely burgundy dresses that popped against their beautiful natural setting with all that green and also against the white of the flowers. I really love how some of the delicate flowers in Erika’s bouquet accented the delicate lace on the bodice of her amazing dress.

Here’s a closer look at Erika’s modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet. It was composed of white Cabbage Roses, Ranunculus and Stephanotis, burgundy Dahlia and Cabbage Roses, white Seeds and mix of Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in an asymmetrical cascade. We finished it off with Antique White satin ribbon for a very bridal, but modern look.

Since the bridesmaids were in burgundy, we decided to feature all the white flowers in their bouquets and use the round handtied shape. It made for a cohesive but different look.

Erika also ordered some bulk greenery and seeds for the centerpieces she was making herself. I supplied her with bundles for each table and she was able to incorporate the greenery and seeds around her floating candles on chargers. It was a nice touch that tied everything together without needing full on floral centerpieces.

Boutonnieres and corsages used the same flowers from the bouquets to match the look over all.

“Erin is fantastic to work with! Her intake is thorough, communication is prompt and her work is absolutely gorgeous! I received many compliments on the arrangements, including how realistic they are! I will continue to refer Erin to anyone who asks!”
— Erika | Minnesota

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!

Dusty Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Lucky us, we get to look back on a beautiful wedding sent in by bride Alycia! Her vision for her custom silk wedding flowers included dusty pinks and white with a mixture of greenery for full and lush and “natural” looking bouquets. Let’s take a closer look at the photos she sent me by her talented photographer: Blessed Day Photography by Megan Edmonds.

Alycia’s bouquet was a modified cascade style based on an inspiration photo she sent me. Even though it was a photo of an altar arrangement, it showed the shape and composition she loved with just the right ratio of flowers to greenery. That was extremely helpful for me to catch her vision. I suggested a variety of flowers in her colors and came up with a design plan. The final design of her bouquet included: white hydrangea, light dusty pink Roses, white mini Ranunculus, darker dusty pink Peonies, white Sophia Roses, white filler seeds, willow and silver dollar Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers and greenery.

“I cannot recommend Erin enough!! Her professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made the process of designing the bouquets so easy. I sent Erin a Pinterest picture of what I had envisioned, and she provided me with flower and color options to make sure I got the bouquet of my dreams. Her timeline was spot on, coming in plenty of time ahead, allowing me to not stress about flowers! I received SO many compliments on them. And, they photograph so well. They look SO real! I now have a beautiful keepsake to remind me of our special day.”
— Alycia | Maine

Those dusty pinks really popped against the blue dresses and navy suits!

What a gorgeous backdrop for our happy couple!

I am so excited to share today’s wedding on the blog! Neutrals and earth tones have been a hot ticket this last year, and as more and more brides get brave enough to try it out, the more I get to share new and lovely color combinations. Today’s wedding features white, taupe, and nude silk wedding flowers. Bride Kirsten sent me these gorgeous photos to share with you from their very talented photographer Henry Roy Photography.

Here’s our magazine worthy couple, in their stunning attire with a absolutely perfect backdrop! Kirsten’s round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of white Ranunculus, nude Garden Roses, taupe Cosmos, beige Baby’s Breath, and three varieties of sage color Greenery. Lots of texture, lots of variety in shape and a soft color palette that blends with nature perfectly! The groom’s boutonniere was a nude Garden Rose, taupe Cosmos, beige Baby’s Breath and sage Greenery.

I just love this shot with the fern from the forest accentuating all the greenery in her bouquet!

“Erin is fantastic to work with! Reasonably priced, custom, and beautiful!”

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Vibrant Colors - Reveal and Double Review

, ,

Today’s feature is a lovely bridal bouquet recreation that was months in the making! Josiah contacted me about recreating his wife’s vibrant bouquet that was rich with texture and color. When Josiah first reached out, I wasn’t able to find everything I needed to get close enough to the original. Josiah didn’t give up on me and checked back in a few months later to see if I could find what I needed. I looked across various vendors and found great matches that he approved of. Let’s take a look at the bouquet compared to the original from the very talented Devin Ingersoll of Wild Meadow Floral!

Photo by Teresa Johnson

This stunning bouquet was a mix of Cabbage and Garden Roses, Dahlia, Ranunculus, Calla Lilies, Scabiosa, Thistle, Pink Berries, Silver Dollar, Seeded, and Gunni Eucalyptus. It had so much going on in the bouquet that any way you looked at it, you see a new and different type of flower or greenery. The original bouquet had burgundy chiffon ribbon with long tails. But for display purposes, I left the wrap simple and we didn’t include the tails.

“Erin did an incredible job recreating our bouquet, going out of her way to source the perfect fabric and materials to get the look just right. She even worked with our wedding florist to make sure that it matched exactly. I would work with her again. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Amazing craftmanship!”
— Josiah | Massachusetts

“I just wanted to say thank you SO much for recreating my beautiful bouquet! I am so happy I get to treasure it forever now. It is absolutely perfect. ”

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!

Navy, Sapphire Blue and Gray Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Working with silk wedding flowers gives me continual opportunities to be creative, not just with shapes of bouquets, but with their composition! Sometimes brides love a bouquet they’ve seen so much, they want an exact copy. But what I’ve found to be true more often is that brides want their silk wedding flowers to have a custom element, something they haven’t seen before. When Chumani reached out to me for her navy, Sapphire blue and gray color scheme, I was excited to present some options to her for a truly custom combination. Here are some photos of her arrangements taken by the very talented Mariah Joy Photography!

The bridal bouquet was a classic tear drop cascade shape with a mix of white Phalaenopsis orchids, ivory Cabbage Roses, navy Ranunculus, sapphire blue Roses, blue Anemone, Blueberries, blue/gray Heather and Lamb’s Ear.

The groom’s boutonniere was a sapphire blue Rose, white Orchid, Heather and Lamb’s ear.

Chumani ordered boutonnieres and corsages for all her loved ones and worked with me to decide who wears which color vs. a mix of her colors. I loved how thoughtful she was in making those decisions!

“My bouquet was absolutely beautiful and in the colors I wanted. They look like the real thing and love that I’ll get to keep them forever.”
— Chumani | Minnesota

Burgundy and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Last week’s post featured a shade of blue that’s coming on the scene and picking up speed. Today, I want to share with you a wedding that features a tried and true combo: burgundy and navy blue! I’ve done quite a few weddings with this combination over the last few years as more and more couples chose navy instead of black for suits and tuxes. And today’s wedding is a great example of that. Let’s take a look at these very pretty images from Beauridge Photography.

Here’s my gorgeous bride Brittany who was so generous to share her pictures with me. Her loose, round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses and Dahlia, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus.

“Erin was amazing to work with. The flowers turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! She always stayed in contact with me throughout the process and she was super affordable. Several of my bridesmaids have their flowers displayed in their homes. I love that I can keep my bridal bouquet for years to come. Thank you Erin for everything!”
— Brittany | New Jersey

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same greenery, Baby’s breath and featured on burgundy Dahlia and one navy Ranunculus. It allowed Brittany’s bouquet to stand out even more!

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-burgundy-navy-bridesmaid-bouquets

The groom wore a boutonniere of a burgundy rose, navy Ranunculus and mixed greenery.

Brittany wanted some cake flowers and opted to order a loose assortment of flowers and greens for her baker to place on the cake. It is a great option if you are still decided on a topper or just want to have options!

Bold and Bright Spring Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s bride, Kimberly, filled out the Free Bride’s Checklist and also included links to bouquets that had caught her eye. What I noticed right away were the bright colors, varying textures of the flowers and sunflowers! I got a little excited about her designs and sent her a bunch of ideas. Then, I looked at everything a second time and sent her a whole bunch more options. What we landed on is bold, bright and a little spunky. Let’s take a look at the professional wedding photos by Amy Galimore Photography

Kimberly’s bouquet was a loose and lush round handtied style bouquet with sunflowers, purple Hydrangea, magenta Cabbage Roses, orange and pink Ranunculus, blue Prunus, orange Cosmos, blue Dogwood, yellow Freesia, lavender seeds, and light green Roses. You almost have to look at it twice to see everything that’s in there!

The groom’s boutonniere was a mini Sunflower, purple Hydrangea, and pink and orange Ranunculus. We tied it off with twine to have a similar texture to the burlap that all the bouquets were wrapped with.

The lovely bridesmaids wore purple dresses and those bright tones really popped against such a rich backdrop!

“Erin did a fantastic job with the flowers for my wedding! She was quick to respond and came up with beautiful combinations! She incorporated everything I asked for and more! Highly recommend!”
— Kimberly | South Carolina

Kimberly also wanted to incorporate matching florals to the large arbor for their outdoor ceremony. She opted for two altar arrangements to attach to the sides of the arbor. The swags matched the bridal bouquet flowers on a bed of eucalyptus.

Dusty Rose and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love to share all my weddings, but the soft and romantic color palettes will always have my heart! Jennifer’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of white and dusty pink flowers with a touch of greenery. I was so excited to show her a few new options I had found including the dusty pink Lilac. Those lacey little flowers added so much texture with just a kiss of color. Let’s take a look at these wonderful images by Nikki Joachim Photography to see what Jennifer and I came up with together!

Jennifer specified that she wanted a loose look to the bouquets with space between things. She decided on the round handtied style, and I made some suggestions for a full bouquet that wouldn’t mean every flower would be packed in tightly. Her bouquet consisted of champagne Roses, ivory Ranunculus, dusty pink Lilac, white seeds, Lamb's Ear, white Larkspur, ivory Garden Roses, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and small leaf Eucalyptus.

Jennifer’s bridesmaid carried a matching style bouquet, just a bit smaller. The boutonnieres combined the ivory flowers and bits of the dusty pink Lilac with greenery to match the ladies.

“Erin was easy to work with and finished the project much earlier than I expected. I just showed her a few photos of what I liked and she created something beautiful with them.”
— Jennifer | Minnesota

At the altar was a table that I designed a swag/garland combination piece for. The center was a spray of Roses, Lilac and greens with long Eucalyptus pieces trailing from both sides. It filled the table nicely without being over the top. The best part is, they were able to use at there reception site for their sweetheart table as well.

Thanks again to Jennifer for sharing your day with us! Do you have a classic color palette that you want floral ideas for? Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to start the design process with me!

Custom Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

, ,

Back in June, I shared Sarah’s custom silk bridal bouquet I made to match her existing bridesmaid bouquets. It was a lovely mix of purple and white flowers with a touch of navy. Her silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round hand-tied style full of white Garden and Cabbage Roses, lavender Garden Roses, medium purple Ranunculus and cabbage Roses, plum tea Roses, Lavender, white Baby’s Breath, Waxflower and Blueberries. I made it nice and lush with adding a variety of greenery, including: Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Standard Eucalyptus and Ruscus. Her accent color was navy, so she chose a satin navy ribbon to finish off her bouquet. Today I get to share a few photos from Sarah’s big day provided by her photographer Emily Anderson Photography. Check her out here on Instagram and here on Facebook.

“Erin was wonderful to work with. I sent her some ideas I had in mind for my bridal bouquet and colors. She sent me a mock up super fast and was great at changing out flowers I didn’t like. I loved my bouquet and so happy with how it turned out. I was so afraid of my flowers looking fake and I can contest it was absolutely beautiful and far from looking fake. I would recommend Erin and go to her again for any floral need.”
— Sarah | Ohio

Sunflowers, Coral Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers-Reveal

, , ,

I have the sweetest set of wedding photos to share with you today. Caitlin was a local bride who I got to meet and work with and she has the best smile! Her vision for her custom silk wedding flowers included featuring some sunflowers and greenery and a touch of coral pink. She wanted a more natural outdoorsy look to the bouquets to reflect their interests and personalities. And speaking of personality, Caitlin had custom shoes painted to match the wedding flowers!! So without giving too much more away, let’s take a look at these beautiful images from So.Jean Photography of Caitlin’s sunflower, coral pink and white silk wedding flowers.

Caitlin’s bouquet was a loose cascading style bridal bouquet with Sunflowers, white Anemone, Ranunculus and Larkspur, coral pink Lilac, seeded filler, Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus. It was lush, full, classic and such a fun design to collaborate on!

This detail shot is awesome and shows those custom shoes off.

The bridesmaids wore sage green dresses in a variety of styles and carried loose handtied round bouquets that had the same mix of flowers and greenery as the bridal bouquet. The boutonnieres were Anemone with a touch of the coral pink Lilac, greens and the groom’s had a mini sunflower to make it stand out a little from the rest of the guys.

Caitlin’s ring bearers were two different ages, so I used mini sunflowers with magnet backings to keep even their littlest ring bearer safe from pins!

I don’t have a whole lot more to say about the flowers, but I had to share these amazing golden hour photos with all of you!

Thanks again to Caitlin for sharing the photos from So.Jean Photography, for being responsive, collaborative and so joyful to work with!

White Silk Wedding Flowers with Greenery - Reveal and Review

, ,

Savannah contacted me last year to start the design process for her custom white silk wedding flower arrangements with greenery. She sent me a variety of inspiration photos, noting her favorites and included a request for some of her favorite flowers she wanted incorporated. She recently sent me some photos from her big day that I get to share with you! These amazing images were created by Leslie Duffy Photography.

Here’s our happy couple! Savannah’s bouquet was a modified cascade style bridal bouquet with a mix of white Peonies, Ranunculus, Cabbage Roses and Astrantia with Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and a touch of sage greenery. Her bouquet had a classic look that could work with any season and really any style. Savannah’s dress had lots of texture, so the bouquet design needed to match the elegance, but not take away from it! I mean, take a look at the back of that dress!

The bridesmaids carried loose, round, handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers and greenery.

“I am so happy I went with Love is Blooming! I had a phenomenal experience—from working with Erin and receiving her timely emails, to ordering and paying, to receiving my flowers with tons of time before my wedding. Not to mention they were stunning and looked even better than the inspo photos I sent. This was so easy, stress free and cost effective. I highly recommend!”
