Bridal Bouquet Recreation for a Shadowbox - Reveal and Review

I love to see how people find ways to make keepsakes and memories of their wedding day a part of their home decor. You may have seen this post from a few years ago where I helped Jessica source the flowers that had been in her bridal bouquet to create a sweet memento from her big day. I got to do a similar project for Aliza recently that added a little extra challenge! Aliza had attempted to press her fresh flower bouquet to put in a shadowbox and include in her home. Unfortunately, the beautiful colors from her bouquet didn’t stay true and she wasn’t happy with the outcome. She sent me measurements of her shadowbox and photos from her wedding day (taken by Sara Allman Photography on Facebook), and I got to work finding the right colors and sizes of flowers for her bouquet recreation. Let’s take a look!

Erin’s work is fabulous! I tried to preserve my wedding bouquet myself, but It didn’t work out. I found Erin online and contacted her right away. I told her I wanted my bouquet to fit in my shadow box frame, so she used the frame dimensions to make sure the bouquet would fit. I am so pleased with the outcome. Thank you, Erin!
— Aliza | Virginia

With a shadowbox, you can’t get the same full, round bouquet that you had on your wedding day, but you can have the essence of the bouquet to proudly display.

If you like the idea of recreating your bridal bouquet, but don’t want a full blow bridal bouquet recreation, maybe a shadowbox recreation is the perfect solution. Contact me today for more information!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flowers - Fixing a Mistake

Today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation was part recreation, part fixing a mistake. Kyle sent me photos to share with me that his wife’s bouquet wasn’t made correctly and so her bouquet wasn’t what had hoped to carry down the aisle. It was supposed to have white Hydrangea and Baby’s Breath, pink Roses and Ruscus. Instead, there were champagne Roses and Hydrangea added in and she didn’t love it. My job was to recreate the bouquet, but make it right for his wife! Let’s take a look!

As you can see from the photos, the champagne flowers stood out in the kind of way that you don’t want. But recreating the bouquet allowed Kyle to get her the bouquet she had dreamed of.

Worked closely with me to recreate my wife’s wedding bouquet for our anniversary. Was very quick with turnaround and it looked beautiful.
— Kyle | Hawaii

One tricky part of this bouquet was figuring out how the stems were wrapped. The closest photo we had showed what looked like copper color ribbon with glittery ribbon criss-crossed over the top. Kyle remembered it being more of a rosegold color, so we went with that to finish off the look.

Did you love your bouquet, except for one or two things? Silk flowers offer the benefit of custom designs so you can have your bouquet recreated how you wanted it in the first place. Read more about the process here!

Sisters' Bridal Bouquet Recreations - Reveal and Review

Bridal Bouquet recreations aren’t just for the gifting husband. I have had sisters, friends, and moms all order them for someone else. I have also had plenty of brides who wanted a bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers for themselves! Rounine, my lovely customer, fit into two of those categories. She wanted a bridal bouquet recreation for herself and one for her sister! Let's take a look at these very special pieces.

Rounine’s bouquet was a mix of white Roses, Eucalyptus and Seeds in a round handtied style. So classy and elegant!

My sister and I got married really close and we both wanted to preserve our flowers but didn’t know how. I was on google and the website came up, I emailed Erin and hoped she could do it, I was not disappointed. She communicated and sent pictures throughout the process, and it was affordable. I also wanted to surprise my sister with her own bridal bouquet recreation. I received the bouquets on Saturday and my sister happened to be with me. She was so happy with hers, she couldn’t believe how close it was to her actual bouquet. She like me wishes that she knew about love is blooming before her wedding day. We would have just gone with “fake” flowers and be able to keep all of our floral arrangements. We are very happy with the end results and we hope to use them in the future for our anniversary celebrations and preserve them along with other mementos from our wedding. Thank you again for a job well done.

Her sister’s bouquet was a bigger challenge. It had lots of texture, a wider variety of flowers and greens it a very unique shaped bouquet. It included Cymbidium Orchids, Anemone, Thistle, Stock flowers, burgundy Roses, Hypericum Berries, Kangaroo Paw, Queen Anne’s Lace, Eucalyptus, Grass and Bunny Tails.

She did such an amazing job! I am honestly very impressed with the amount of work and details!
— Lyndjy | Georgia

Rounine added the matching groom’s boutonnieres to her order. Each one was just as unique and lovely as the bouquet they matched.

Cascade Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

I’ve got three lovely bridal bouquet recreations in silk flowers to share with you this week! Today I’m sharing a beautiful cascading bridal bouquet recreation. Kelly contacted me to have her own bouquet recreated along with her husband’s boutonniere. I loved the idea of doing both pieces, so I got to work! Kelly’s bouquet was a mix of pink and white Roses, white Lilies, yellow Heather, and navy Thistle. The boutonniere was a white rose with some greenery and a thistle bud.

Let’s compare the recreation (left) to the original bouquet (right).

Winter Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

It was feeling spring like until yesterday, when we woke up to 8” of snow. That was shocking, but made it easier to share this recreation. John contacted me about recreating his wife’s beautiful and wintery bridal bouquet. The original consisted of cream Roses, Cedar, Pine, Spruce, Seeded Eucalyptus, Red Berries and Pittosporum in a handtied round style bouquet. Below you can see a few photographs of the original bouquet from Bobbi Rattai Photography to compare with the recreation. What do you think? Did I nail it?

Red and Ivory Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Becky contacted me about recreating her beautiful bridal bouquet of ivory Tulips, Baby’s Breath and baby red Roses. This full and luscious bouquet had a lot of greenery and was quite large. The best part about this kind of work is that I can customize your recreation any way you want! Becky wanted to display it in her living room in a vase next to one of their wedding photographs. I came up with a plan to reduce the overall size of the bouquet but only by a small amount so that it wasn’t too large for what she had in mind.

Photos of the original bouquet are by the very talented Brian Anthony Photography. Check him out if you are in the Greensboro area!

My bouquet is absolutely beautiful. Having the recreation takes the sting away that the beautiful flowers I had on my wedding day are long gone. I highly recommend Erin to recreate your bouquet!
— Becky | North Carolina

One of the things Becky loved about her bouquet was the ivory ribbon wrap and the long tails. Since she is displaying this on a table top, I cut them a bit shorter than the original, but kept the same notched detail on the ends of the tails. It looks so classy!

Yellow and White Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Today’s reveal is a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers from Jolyn. She contacted me about recreating her bouquet. They had tried to preserve it, but after “8 years and 3 moves” it didn’t hold up as well as they’d hoped. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the recreation and Jolyn’s original bouquet.

Made of white Garden and Spray Roses, white Stephanotis, yellow Garden Roses and soft yellow Lilies, Jolyn’s bouquet was a classic round handtied style bouquet.

This is perfect! I’m so very happy to have this beautiful and lasting reproduction of my wedding bouquet! Thank you so very much - you did an excellent job and so quickly!!

I recently got married this past July and really wanted to preserve my wedding flowers, but when I found out how expensive that was I decided to go a different route and get my bouquet recreated. I eventually found Love Is Blooming online and emailed Erin right away. Erin was lovely to work with and responded quickly. After a few emails and pictures my bouquet turned out beautifully, so good my family thought it was the real thing!

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Ivory and Blue

Luke contacted me looking for the perfect anniversary gift for his wife. After seeing the photos, I got to work recreating the original bridal bouquet of blue and ivory Hydrangea, Ivory Roses and Spray Roses, ivory berries and greens into her own silk bridal bouquet recreation.

Sometimes it takes a few different photos of the bouquet to get it just right. In this case, the original photo Brandon sent didn’t quite capture the brightness of the blue Hydrangea. A different angle did, so I was able to find a brighter blue Hydrangea and switch it out. I wanted to be sure and get it just right!

Custom Centerpiece Recreation in Silk Flowers

Kristine contacted me with a request I haven’t gotten before. She wanted a couple of centerpieces from her wedding reception recreated with silk wedding flowers. I loved the idea and was eager to help!

She sent me a couple of photos and gave me a few details from her memory and I got to work. Their wedding was small and intimate, with a roomful of friends and family. They had one banquet table with a large centerpiece in the middle and smaller ones toward the ends. The monochromatic arrangements consisted of Lilies, Spray Roses, Waxflower and Hydrangea. She had clear vases that they would go in, so I trimmed them short and covered the stems with a pretty lace. Take a look!

I was looking all over trying to find someone to recreate my wedding flowers from my table. I googled someplace to recreate floral arrangements
and came across loveisblooming. Erin answered my questions quickly. Pricing is very reasonable ! Erin was willing to work with me when I had some financial hardship. She also found one of my vases that I tried to find at Michaels and online. Absolutely amazing ! Every step of the way she has kept me informed, sent photos, and has been incredible to work with! I am so thankful for her! Now I can recreate my table in my dining room and relive my wedding dinner ! I will definitely use her again!

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation and Substitutions

When Christopher emailed me photos of his wife’s bouquet, I knew I was up for a challenge. The colors and variety of flower were stunningly beautiful, but also unique. There were peachy roses, a bit of ivory Hydrangea, pink/purple Waxflower, Veronica, tropical grass and greenery, a teal accent flower and the elusive Leucodendron. I knew there were going to be a couple of items that were going to be tricky to find for this silk bridal bouquet recreation, and in the end a substitution would need to be made. But take a look at the end result of this awesome bouquet recreation!

This bouquet was both a unique shape and composition and one that challenged me in some new and exciting ways! I couldn’t find the right shape of rose bud, so I found a peony bud that made the perfect stand in. Then, that Leucodendron stared me down in all it’s burgundy glory. I couldn’t find one that was the right size or color, so I put on my crafty thinking cap and came up with a plan. To get it just right, I had to piece together several of the same type of flower and dye it to the right shade to get just the right look. Sometimes it takes some extra creativity, but it’s always worth it in the end!

This stunner made it’s way to a military base in Japan for a sweet anniversary gift! If you are looking for just the right anniversary gift, a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers is absolutely the right choice! And if you’re worried about a unique design or flower getting in the way, fear not! Contact me today for more information!

Blush and Ivory Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Emily’s bridal bouquet was beautiful, interesting and so romantic! Roses, Orchids, Freesia, Mums and Ruscus made this elegant bouquet so soft looking and very, well, bridal! Take a look at this amazing bouquet!

Thank you so much Erin! I absolutely love my bouquet and I’m so glad I was able to find you and your services!

I had my original bouquet on display at my house but of course after a while, since it was dried, it definitely did not look nearly as pretty as it did on my wedding day and was starting to make me feel sad. I’m so happy with how the one you recreated for me turned out - it’s as beautiful as the original from my wedding and makes me so happy to see it everyday!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flowers

Unless you are the bride ordering your custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers, some of the details may escape you. And that’s ok! There’s a couple of options if you can’t quite remember what color the ribbon was or the exact type of every little flower. In MacKenzie’s case, his mother actually built his bride’s bouquet, so he was able to pass along my questions and find out those details that would make a difference. Don’t have your mom to ask? Contact the original florist, search your emails for an invoice, or ask a bridesmaid who might be able to recall those details you are seeking out.

Here’s the bouquet!

Lilies, roses and baby’s breath. Simple, beautiful, elegant!

It was so helpful to get MacKenzie’s feedback on what was in the bouquet. For instance, from this photo, I couldn’t tell there was a small stargazer lily at the back of the bouquet. MacKenzie was able to give me a run down of all that was in the bouquet as well as the fact that the ribbon was a light pink, not coral as it appeared in his photos.

Whether you know every single element of the bouquet or just have a vague idea, contact me for a quote on what it would take to get it recreated in silk flowers. We’ll be able to capture the feeling and overall look of that special bouquet with a little teamwork!

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation From Photos

Bill sent me a couple of photos from his wedding….52 1/2 years ago!

**First of all, can we all give him and his wife a round of applause??**

So the photos Bill sent me weren’t ideal. But he remembered some details about the flowers and colors and pretty soon his wife started chiming in with what she remembered about her bouquet. What we knew is that there were yellow Roses, white Carnations, Stephanotis, Orchids (including one with a pink center) and greenery in a cascade style bouquet. Here’s how Bill’s custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers turned out!

We highly recommend you...wife is ecstatic...Received the bouquet yesterday, wife is thrilled, thanks again.
— Bill | Massachusetts

This bouquet was a quick turnaround since Bill wanted to gift it to his wife for Christmas. All of our communication was over email and his quick responses made the process smooth and fast. When it was all said and done, Bill said that no local florist would attempt to recreate this bouquet in fresh flowers, which is why his search led him to me.
