, ,

If you are looking for wedding flowers for any season, any venue, or any decade, then today’s custom silk wedding flowers are exactly what you are looking for! Jenna reached out to me with her classic color palette of green and white and sent me some inspiration photos of bouquets she liked the look of. She had sent in the Free Bride’s Checklist and included a few of her favorite flowers, so she really made it easy for me to catch her vision! I’m excited to share some photos from Jenna’s wedding, captured by the very talented Sawyer Creek Photography!

Jenna’s bridal bouquet was a large, loose, handtied style bouquet with a mix of white Roses, Peonies, Larkspur, small filler seeds for texture, Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The groom’s boutonniere was a white rose, Larkspur, seeds, greens and ribbon that matched the bridal bouquet.

Jenna wanted the bridesmaid bouquets to be very similar to her bouquet. I used the same mix of flowers but left out the Larkspur. The look was very cohesive but set the bridal bouquet apart just every so slightly.

What a classy looking bridal party. And I’m loving the muted tone of the bridesmaid dresses with the pop of green and white from the bouquets.

“I got soooooo many compliments on them, everyone was amazed when I told them they weren’t real flowers.”

“I sent Erin a few pictures of my wife’s wedding bouquet to make a replica and she absolutely nailed it! She kept me updated on the process and asked to see other pictures if she was not 100% sure. She really worked with me, since I know nothing about flowers, and was able to recreate it just from the pictures. My wife loved it! I let her open it out of the box because I was excited to give it to her and she was very surprised. She had to look at pictures to compare because it looked exactly the same as her wedding bouquet. She immediately started to find a place to display it after that. I think she was a little speechless, but was definitely excited about it. It will always be there to remind us of our special day!”

Coral, Blush, White and Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

It might be the week of Halloween, but if you are looking forward to your spring wedding, today’s silk wedding flowers might give you the inspiration you need! Katie’s coral, blush, white and gold color scheme was fun to work with. This combination of colors and a touch of shine with the gold was both a really romantic theme and also a little glamorous! I’m also excited to get to show you the usual bridal bouquet photos, but she also sent some awesome photos of her custom silk flower altar arrangement and cake flowers! Let’s take a look at these lovely photos from Liz Marie Photography.

Katie’s bouquet was a loose, modified cascade style bouquet with a mix of nude Roses, blush Hydrangea, blush Spray Roses, dark and light coral Rose buds, white Roses, gold Greenery and mini Ruscus. The gold brought some shine while the greenery really popped for their outdoor wedding.

The bridesmaids were in beautiful matching coral dresses that brought out those tones so nicely in the bouquets. They carried bouquets that were a loose handtied style with the same mix of flowers as Katie’s bouquet.

Katie also ordered 3 custom silk flower cake clusters to go on the layers of her wedding cake. They were all a little different from each other but incorporated the color scheme and some gold greenery.

Since Katie’s mom lived near by, we didn’t have to worry about shipping larger arrangements like her altar flowers. That meant her corner piece could be big and awesome. She also ordered a matching smaller piece for the other side of the arch for an asymmetrical look.

These lilacs sure make a beautiful backdrop!

Silk Flower Aisle Arrangements and Centerpieces Do Double Duty!

,

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.”
— Maricel | Florida

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.

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. Plus, you have a lovely keepsake after the big day! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to start the design process!

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!

Blush, Dusty Pink, Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding is a really pretty combination of blush, dusty pink, blue and white silk wedding flowers. As you’ll see from the photos that bride Emily sent me, this was a soft romantic color palette that worked great for her outdoor wedding. Let’s take a look at the photos she sent me from her amazing photographer Brandi Doleman.

Emily’s bouquet was a unique style in that we slightly modified a modified cascade style. She didn’t quite want a teardrop shape, but not as round as a modified cascade. Her bouquet was composed of white, nude, and dusty pink Roses, blush pink Peonies, blue Astilbe and Thistle, Stephanotis, Orchids, white Heather, beige Baby’s Breath, Willow and Eucalyptus. Here bridesmaids were wearing a variety of these colors and she wanted to include them in her bouquet. It tied everything together so nicely!

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquet with the same mix of the bridal flowers. One of the bouquets was actually for an attendant on the groom’s side, so we included a bit more of the blue accents in her bouquet to match the guys more closely. It was an easy tweak to the design so that it set it apart but still matched with the bridesmaids.

“Erin is SO sweet to work with and VERY prompt with communication and getting everything situated and organized! She is super easy to talk to and very accommodating if you have a particular idea in mind! The wedding flowers were everything I would’ve dreamed of and were just absolutely perfect! I couldn’t have been happier! I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your floral needs!”

Custom Silk Flower Cake Topper - Reveal and Review

,

Earlier this summer, Rachel’s aunt reached out to me as they were trying to get someone who could recreate a a floral cake topper. The original had been made of sugar flowers and the creator was in the UK, so there wasn’t a way to get the exact same piece. That’s where I come in! They sent me some photos of the original design and I looked through my various suppliers until I found just the right flowers and greenery to create a silk flower cake topper that was what they were looking for! Rachel was kind enough to send me a few photos by Precious Pics of her beautiful wedding cake!

Rachel’s custom cake topper had a soft yellow Rose for the center with blue Hydrangea, white mini Daisies, blue Forget-Me-Nots, yellow Craspedia (or Billy Buttons) and some touches of greenery and vines. It was dainty and also a show stopper!

“Your arrangement looked absolutely beautiful, it really made the cake! Thank you again!”

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!

Mauve, Terra Cotta, Nude, Champagne, Blush and Berry Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

If you are looking for a unique, non pink, variety of colors palette that stands out, today is the wedding for you! Heather reached out to me with a lovely color palette of mauve, terra cotta, nude, sage, champagne, and navy. We ended up adding in some peach and blush to blend between the bolder tones. Another unique feature is that Heather really wanted to include Bunny tails, a preserved accent that added some softness and texture to the arrangements. Let’s take a look at Heather’s custom silk wedding flowers, photographed by Melissa McKean Photography!

Heather’s bouquet was a modified cascade style based on an inspiration photo that had just a slight cascade to it. The design included: a mix of standard Eucalyptus, Bunny Tails, nude Roses, champagne Peonies, berry Tea roses, blush Roses, toast Roses, mauve Peonies, terra cotta Roses and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller handtied style bouquets based on an inspiration photo and were simplified to include a terra cotta Rose, nude Rose, toast Roses, berry Tea Rose, mauve Peony, Bunny Tails and both kinds of eucalyptus.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Erin from Love is Blooming for my wedding flowers, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire experience. From start to finish, Erin demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and a genuine commitment to making my floral vision come to life. One of the standout qualities of Erin’s service was her consistent communication throughout the entire process. At every stage, she provided timely updates, ensuring I was involved in the decision-making process. This level of communication not only put me at ease but also made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The care Erin took in packaging each arrangement was evident from the moment I received them. Every bouquet, greenery strand, boutonniere, and corsage was meticulously prepared and arrived in perfect condition. It was evident that Erin takes great pride in her work, and her attention to detail truly set her apart. Working with Erin was an absolute breeze. She was not only professional but also personable, making the collaboration feel more like a partnership. She listened attentively to my ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and translated my vision into stunning floral arrangements that exceeded my expectations. The bridal bouquet, bridesmaids’ bouquets, greenery centerpieces, boutonnieres, and the mother of the bride/groom corsages were beautiful. The silk flowers were vibrant and arranged with an artistic touch that added an extra layer of elegance to my wedding. I highly recommend Erin from Love is Blooming to anyone in search of a talented and dedicated silk florist. Her commitment to excellent communication, careful packaging, and outstanding creativity made my wedding floral experience unforgettable. Erin’s expertise and friendly demeanor made her a joy to work with, and I am truly grateful for the beautiful contribution she made to my special day.”
— Heather | Ohio

Red, Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s color combination might have you thinking, why are you sharing this in November? Shouldn’t this be a 4th of July post? That right there is why I’m sharing it now. While this color palette can be equated with the Stars and Stripes, it doesn’t have to! Bride Samantha and her sister worked with me to create custom silk wedding flowers that incorporated the colors Samantha loved without looking patriotic. Let’s take a look at her red, blue and white silk wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented NuView Photography!

Samantha had favorite flowers she wanted to include in the designs and she sent me the bridesmaid dress color that was a beautiful dusty blue. We landed on deep red Roses, dusty blue Roses, brighter red Begonias, navy Mums, white Baby’s Breath and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The bouquets were round handtied style with different combinations of navy, dusty blue and red ribbon wrapped and crisscrossed over the stems.

This picture gives a great look at the detail on Samantha’s bouquet up close. She wanted a touch of lace, so we found a way to include that on her bouquet and she added a few small framed photos to honor loved ones.

red-white-blue-custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-bridesmaid-bouquets-boutonnieres

I love pictures like this that include so many special people in the couples’ lives! If you zoom in on our awesome couple, you’ll see a couple of non-humans that are special too. They were not only a part of the big day, they got in on the flower action too!

Look at these sweet babies! One wore a suit that matched the bridal party and had a tiny boutonniere to match. The other kitty wore a dress and I created a custom flower crown for her tiny kitty head!

“Erin is amazing! I was able to just give her my vision for what I wanted for my wedding, and she was able to take all the ideas and create an amazing bouquet for my girls and I. Erin was very patient with all my edits and what if ideas throughout the process. Erin explained the different techniques that she was using to create the bouquets. At the wedding my guests were amazed (including my photographers) that the flowers weren’t real! I would highly recommend her services!”

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!

Red, White, and Green Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

Andy reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet for their upcoming 20th anniversary! When you think back on all the styles in the last 20 years, you can see how this bouquet stands the test of time. Her red, white, and green bridal bouquet was a classic mix of colors, flowers, and greenery that was a good fit for a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers. Let’s take a look!

Photography by Ken Nelson

The original bouquet was a mix of white and red Garden Roses, Seeded Eucalyptus and small filler greenery. Andy thought it was originally constructed in a bouquet holder, so I kept the stems thin and wrapped them fully in white ribbon to mimic the look.

I have an awesome bouquet recreation in silk flowers to show you today that includes some really beautiful bling! Amy reached out to me about recreating her daughter’s lovely wedding bouquet. You can see in the photos below from their photographer Royal Studio- Chicago that it was a stunning mix of white and deep red Roses along with some dusty pink Roses, Spray Roses, Baby’s Breath and some white Caspia.

Amy was able to send both of them to me to include the recreation. Let’s take a look at the side by side to see them both together!

Cabernet, Taupe and Nude Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I am SO excited to share this moody and dreamy and lovely wedding today! Local bride, Abby, had a color palette that I’ve seen rise in popularity the last two years: Cabernet (burgundy), navy and gold. But we didn’t want to hit those head on in the custom bouquets. Instead, we featured that deep burgundy, taupe, a little touch of nude and greenery for bouquets that were lush and textured and really stood out against the cabernet bridesmaid dresses and the mens’ suits. Let’s take a look at Abby’s stunning silk wedding flowers. Photos by the very talented Katy Greseth of Capture Glory Photography. You can find her on FB @KatyGreseth or IG @katygreseth.

Here’s our happy couple! Abby worked closely with me to pick out just the right colors for her bouquet. The bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of nude and burgundy Garden Roses, taupe Garden Roses, white seeds and lots of Seeded Eucalyptus. We tied it off with some sheer, gold ribbon to give it just the smallest bit of shimmer and tie in her color scheme even more.

The groom’s boutonniere featured a burgundy Garden Rose, taupe Rose bud, some seeds and Eucalyptus. We used the same sheer gold ribbon to finish off the look.

And because this bouquet is just too pretty, here’s a few more shots of it!

“Erin was GREAT to work with! Easy to communicate with, timely with replies, and the flowers turned out beyond perfect. They photograph so well! Would highly recommend working with her.”
— Abby | Minnesota

The groomsmen had similar boutonnieres, simplified without the rose bud. It made for a cohesive and classic look.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets that incorporated one of each of the 3 colors of flowers, seeds and Eucalyptus. Even though clutch bouquets are smaller, you can use greenery to give a fuller look.

One of the many great things about silk wedding flowers is that set up is a snap. You don’t have to pay for a professional to come get things laid out perfectly and they will look great for your entire day. I wanted to show some examples of Abby’s use of silk flowers for wedding decor. Here you can see some clusters of flowers and greens aisle arrangements. These can also be hung on ribbon loops if your chairs allow.

Abby had also order two custom pieces meant to sit on top of wine barrels for the ceremony. Unfortunately, due to rain that day, they had to move things inside. But as you can see, it was a beautiful place to exchange vows and the wine barrel arrangements worked perfectly on stands next to the fireplace.

These custom pieces had a little more height and width to them than a standard bouquet, but had a flat bottom to sit on whatever surface was needed!

At your reception, I always suggest having your bouquets do double duty at your head table or somewhere else in your reception venue. Just buy vases, space them out along the head table and as each of you and your bridal party enter, drop a bouquet in the vase! It’s as easy as that!

If you love the idea of being a part of the design process for your custom wedding flowers, don’t want to be surprised the day of by substitutions, wilting flowers or tricky set up, silk wedding flowers might be a good fit!

Lavender Bouquet Recreation with Accents - Reveal and Review

, ,

Today, I get to share with you a lovely lavender bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers with some unique accents. Rich reached out to me and sent me a few photos, taken by a family friend, from their wedding day. His wife’s bouquet was a mix of white and lavender Roses, ribbon accents and small silver/pearl bulbs mixed in. Let’s take a look at the recreation!

While I always do my very best to match as closely as possible, sometimes there are slight changes that have to be made. As in this case, I wasn’t able to find ribbon in the same striped look in the right color. I did find a color match that was acceptable to Rich and he felt it was a good representation of the look of the bouquet overall.

“Erin did an awesome job creating a replication of my wife’s bouquet! My wife loves it!

Bright Beach Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Charlee reached out to me for help when the original silk bridal bouquet she ordered from a different florist didn’t live up to her expectations. While there were some elements of her purchase that she liked, it pretty much needed to be remade. I started sending her options of what I could add to it and how I could reshape it to bring her vision to life. What we ended up designing together is a stunner of a bouquet for her tropical wedding last year. Let’s take a look at the photos by Silverfox Studios of New York.

Charlee’s bouquet needed to stand out on such a big and beautiful back drop. Her modified cascade bridal bouquet was a mix of blue Hydrangea, orange Hibiscus and Orchids, flame Succulents, pink Peonies, green Hydrangea, Gloriosa lilies, yellow Roses, Cymbidium orchids, red and green Anthurium and a whole bunch of tropical foliage. She loved the idea of trailing ribbon, so we finished off the bouquet with a ribbon wrap and tails.

“Thanks for my amazing wedding bouquet; so pretty and bright, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making the time to re-do my original bouquet that I had made. You made my day very happy once I received what I imagined it to look like : ) The guests all loved my bouquet and commented that it was very beautiful, unique and stunning.”
— Charlee | New York

Charlee had ordered bridesmaid bouquets prior to working with me and I loved how she had chosen to go simple with white flowers and greenery so that their varying shades of dress colors would stand out.

She also sent me this photo of how she displays her bouquet at home. I love the branch full of shells and beach glass to go with it!

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!”

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