Purple Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

It’s full on spring here in Minnesota which means the Lilacs are lilacing! I thought today’s bouquet would be a perfect one to share because of it! Vinnie reached out to me about a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers for a gift for his wife. He sent me photos of this stunner bouquet and we got to work figuring out all the components. Let’s take a look at the side-by-side of the recreation with the original. Photos by Jennifer Childress Photography.

This bouquet was large and in charge and chock full of color and texture. Vinnie was deciding how to display this best in a shadow box but ultimately decided to do a full size replica. The bouquet was a round, handtied style with a mix of: white Hydrangea, lavender Rose buds, purple Lilac, Queen Anne's Lace, Statice, and Pittosporum. It was finished off with a sheer white ribbon with pearls. So classy, so lovely!

Erin was great to work with. From pricing to communication to finished product, it couldn’t have been any easier. The work and recreation matched perfectly. It had my wife in tears when she saw it.

Classic White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I know it’s hard to imagine wedding flowers that can top a Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings wedding or a Disney and Cinderella blue wedding, but today’s classic white and green silk wedding flowers are a stunning example of wedding flowers that can compete with literally any theme or scheme! Cassie’s custom silk flowers from her July wedding were so fun to design and were full of texture, greenery and looked amazing in all her photos. Let’s take a look at the lovely images from Edward Walker with Bellagala.

Cassie’s bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix white Roses, Lilies, Larkspur, mini Peonies, mini Cabbage Roses, Baby's Breath, standard Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The texture of the bouquet really complements that lovely design of Cassie’s dress. Her groom wore a white Rose bud, mini Peonies, Baby’s Breath and Greenery. It was a great match to her bouquet and looked awesome with his suit!

Cassie’s bridesmaids all wore different shades of green and different styles of dresses, and I absolutely love this look! And again, the bouquets only end up complementing their individual and classy finished look.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of Cassie’s bouquet, minus the standard Eucalyptus so that it set her bouquet apart just a bit more. Since three of her bridesmaids were in darker green and three in lighter green, she choose to match the ribbon on the bouquets to the dresses with half having sage green and the other half having emerald green ribbon.

Erin and her work was amazing! Real flowers are very pricy and I didn’t want to pay that much for flowers that will die in a few weeks. Choosing Erin and Love Is Blooming allowed me to have beautiful flowers for probably more than half the price! I contacted Erin and she got back to me very very fast! She was excited to work with me, and was very professional! She kept me a part of the process the entire time, even asking which flowers were my favorite so she could include them in the bouquets. They turned out beautifully, and looked amazing in photos and in person. People were amazed that they weren’t real! Now, I get to keep my bridal bouquet and my husband’s boutonniere forever!

The groomsmen boutonnieres were a mix of Baby’s Breath and mini Peonies with greenery. It was a good look next to the groom’s boutonniere that allowed his to be larger and more featured, but still all went together.

Let’s not forget the moms and dads! The mothers had wrist corsages with Cabbage Roses, mini Peonies, Baby’s Breath, a small touch of bling with some rhinestones, greens and ribbon. These corsages work for any outfit! The dads had boutonnieres with mini Peonies and touch of Eucalyptus and again would look good on any lapel!
