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!

Blending Themes Within a Wedding- Rustic and Tropical Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

After 16 years of marriage, I can say with certainty that marriage takes a lot of blending of ideas, plans, and opinions. Sometimes we don’t realize that it actually starts long before you say, “I do.” So when you sit down together to talk about the vision for your wedding day, don’t be surprised if you both have different ideas. But don’t panic! Blending themes within a wedding isn’t as hard as it sounds! These silk wedding flowers are a great example of taking two different ideas and incorporating them into custom arrangements that fit the bride and groom.

Josie wanted a mix of Lilies and Calla Lilies and had some bright and fun colors as well. Her teal, orange and purple theme colors would be used in their centerpieces and she wanted to incorporate them in her ceremony flowers as well. The bridal bouquet was a mix of white Garden Lilies, ivory Calla Lilies, orange and purple Dendrobium Orchids and teal mini Phalaenopsis orchids. Her summer-y bouquet was a combination of all the inspiration photos she sent me. Though this bouquet looks quite tropical, Josie wanted to include a rustic element. Twine is a great way to accent any bouquet that you want to look a little more organic and rustic.

For the bridesmaid bouquets, we used the same variety of flowers, but in a handtied style. With their bouquets, the twine was a little more front and center, but still kept everything on theme.

For the toss bouquet, I scaled everything back, including using a different orange flower that fit the overall size of the bouquet much better.

The pin on corsages were all similar, with subtle differences to set apart the mothers, grandmothers and attendants. Again, the twine was a fun way to keep these bright and happy corsages a little more earthy.

Josie and her groom did a great job personalizing their flowers. One way they did this was to send me spent shotgun shells and turkey feathers for their boutonnieres. These accessories were a fun way to give a nod to the family’s hunting hobby. If you’ve been around my blog long enough, you may remember the last time I did some custom boutonnieres with shotgun shells.

Groom’s and Groomsman’s Boutonniere

Even the littlest bridal party member wasn’t left out. The ring bearer boutonniere might have been too small for a shotgun shell, but it wasn’t too small for a turkey feather!

Blending bright flowers with rustic accents isn’t a new idea. In fact I did it once before for Tracy’s Rustic Barn Wedding Flowers. Maybe you have a few ideas that you aren’t sure how to combine to make your wedding day truly unique. That’s where I come in!
