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!

Watermelon, Coral, Blush and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

My last blog post showed a classic bouquet look with all white flowers. And even though today’s wedding color scheme is has multiple shades of color, these two unique weddings are a lot alike! Vanessa came to me with her watermelon, coral and blush themed wedding, and we got to work thinking about a good mix of flowers that would hit all those marks. Let’s take a look at the designs we came up with together (did you know you get to work WITH me on your designs?) as so beautifully shown in these photos by Maddie Rose Photography.

Just like in Cassie’s wedding, Vanessa also had each of her girls in a different color and style of dress. But we wanted the custom silk bridesmaid bouquets to look great with all of the dresses. Vanessa’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of watermelon Roses, coral Roses, light pink Peonies, Baby's Breath, nude pink Roses, dusty pink Roses, and Seeded Eucalyptus. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of her bouquet for a very cohesive look.

“I LOVE my flowers. Erin did such a great job of updating me on the look of my flowers and helping to decide what flowers would look the best together. I am so thankful for all her help and would HIGHLY recommend her to other brides.”
— Vanessa | Michigan

I love the detail shots (like above) and I also LOVE shots where brides and grooms are surrounded by people that love and support them on such an important day. And you can totally see the love in this phot below!

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!”
— Cassie | Minnesota

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!

Do you love the idea of going with classic look for your wedding flowers? With the ability to customize your bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages and even ribbon, custom silk wedding flowers might be the perfect solution for your perfect wedding flowers.

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!

Revisiting These Ivory, Champagne and Burnt Orange Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

If you are thinking of fall or winter wedding flowers, these are a great example of incorporating whatever the heck colors you want! We didn’t include any traditionally “winter” things in these arrangements. And yet, they are perfect! Let’s revisit Katrina’s custom silk flowers for her winter wedding!

Every few years, a new hot wedding color comes on the scene. A few brave brides go for it, and pretty soon, it’s taking the wedding world by storm. That color is currently burnt orange or terra cotta or some iteration of orange. What’s cool about orange is…well, it’s warmth! It can bring to mind a sunset or being fireside or the warm fuzzies you get when you think of fall coming after a blazing hot summer. Today’s wedding is a lovely example of incorporating ivory, champagne and burnt orange into custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at the professional photos bride Katrina sent me from her photographer at Brittany Nicole Photography.

Here’s our knockout bride, Katrina! Here loose, round handtied style bouquet was a mix of peach Cabbage Roses, nude pink Roses, burnt orange Roses, beige Baby's breath, champagne Peonies, cream Cosmos, Lamb's ear, some pink seeds, sage greenery and a mix of Eucalyptus and Olive greenery. We included texture, variety, shades of peaches, champagne and burnt orange and a touch of nude pink.

The bridesmaids were burnt orange dresses that an embossed floral pattern on them, which I thought was such a unique touch and added visual interest to their whole look! Their bouquets were also loose, round handtied style bouquets with the same mix as the bridal bouquet, but with an extra blush pink Rose added in.

The groom wore a navy suit, so his burnt orange Rose with a Cosmos, Baby’s Breath and greenery really popped!

We went with a nude pink rose for the groomsmen, in a similar style but different, just like their gray suits!

I absolutely love the style of Katrina’s cake with it’s rustic vibe with the rough buttercream. The floral clusters for the layers brought it all together.

“Erin does an INCREDIBLE job! She is so kind and just truly an incredible person! She is so easy to work with and really brings your dreams to reality! She created our flower arrangements BETTER than I could have ever imagined and made the whole process just 100000x easier for the stressed out bride! 1000/10 would recommend to literally everyone in need of arrangements!”
— Katrina | Texas

Katrina wanted a low spray for her head table, which worked perfectly with their custom sign that incorporated their last names. Yes, their last names really are Human and Peoples, a perfect match right??

A huge thank you to Katrina for sharing photos from their big day! Do you love the idea of incorporating orange into your wedding flowers?

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!

Cinderella Inspired Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’ve done a few Disney weddings in my 19 years of business, but this might be a favorite. Okay, really they are all my favorite :) Olivia’s custom silk wedding flowers were Cinderella inspired with the pale blue and white color scheme. I love the subtlety of the theme but with some bigger, magical touches in her bridal bouquet. You’ll see what I mean when I show you these beautiful images from Southern Palm Studios.

Here’s our happily-ever-after couple! Olivia’s bouquet was a classic round handtied bridal bouquet with a mix of Cinderella blue Roses and Baby’s Breath, white Hydrangea, and Eucalyptus.

Picture perfect! In this detail shot, you can also see the rhinestone Mickey I added to the handle of the bouquet. And to the left of her bouquet, you can catch a glimpse of one of the mini bouquets the mothers carried. These small bouquets were a mix of Cinderella blue Roses, white Baby’s Breath and Eucalyptus. Simple but elegant, just like the moms!

Here’s where things got magical…a horse and carriage entrance for Olivia! Of course with a huge smile on her face!

“This company is absolutely amazing! The amount of people at my wedding who said that they thought my flowers were real the entire time was crazy! And the amazing thing is that I get to keep my bridal bouquet forever now! I would highly suggest this company for your silk flower needs!”
— Olivia | Florida

Here is their lovely wedding party! The bridesmaids carried lanterns—love that touch— and the groomsmen wore blue roses to match the dresses and the theme.

If you are curious about what it might look like for moms to carry mini bouquets, this is a great example. Looks pretty natural to me!

What an amazing fairytale day for our couple!

Today’s bridal bouquet recreation reveal is a timeless and classic look! Derik sent me some lovely photos of his wife’s bouquet - a mix of white and blush Garden and Spray Roses and white Calla Lilies in a handtied style - to see if I could recreate her bouquet in silk wedding flowers. The good news is, I could! Let’s take a look at the recreation and the original!

Derik shared with me that his wife’s bouquet was a mix of white flowers with touches of blush, so I made sure to include those hints of color that you can see in the original bouquet.

Bridal Bouquet and Daughter's Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Randy reached out to me about custom bridal bouquet recreation for his wife and a custom bridesmaid bouquet recreation for her daughter as Christmas presents! The photos he sent me showed deep Red Roses and Peonies and burgundy Calla Lilies in a classic round style bouquet for the bridal bouquet. The bridesmaid bouquet was a simple round handtied bouquet of white Garden Roses. Let’s take a look at how these custom Christmas gifts turned out!

I loved that the bouquet was wrapped with a white satin ribbon and then a red satin ribbon over the top! It gave the bouquet a festive look without being a traditional red and green Christmas accent.

“Oh my goodness. Erin, was spot on with the arrangement of my wife’s bouquet from our wedding. She did amazing work and I would highly recommend her for any bouquet arrangement for anyone around!! Thank you again Erin!!”

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!

Friday the 13th Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, , ,

Amanda reached out to me for custom silk wedding flowers for their Friday the 13th wedding. Her colors were forest green, black and ivory and in her words, they were, “going for a spooky/gothic vibe.” I’m actually going to be sharing in two parts because Amanda and her husband had a small ceremony here in Minneapolis and then a private ceremony out in the Black Hills. So today, let’s take a look at some moody, mysterious and gothic flowers, photographed by the very talented Winsome Photography.

Amanda sent me some great inspiration photos that helped me suggest a great mix of flowers and greenery for her bouquet. We settled on a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of sand Roses, black Dahlia, black Skimmia, ivory Gardenia, 3 types of Eucalyptus and a single peach Rose that Amanda had requested as a special accent. She also really wanted to some ivory pearls mixed in and I found some lovely clusters that added texture and a bit of shine to the bouquet.

To bring in the gothic theme even more, our creative couple requested the boutonniere include a raven skull. Thankfully, they found that because I wouldn’t even know where to look! But it was the perfect size to add a touch of flowers and greenery to and really seal the deal on the gothic vibe.

While the ceremony had to be moved indoors due to rain, they were able to get some pretty great city-scape photos of St. Paul.

I love that they just went with the flow of the day and made it work! Amanda even made her own ceremony arrangement knowing they would have to move things indoors. And you can see in these photos that they were really focusing on what was important, each other!

Not to be left out from the big day, their two sweet puppies got to be part of the action! I created a custom floral dog collar that incorporated their colors and greenery. Since she was still growing, I was able to make it adjustable so account for all that fluff!

This was such a fun wedding to create flowers for. Check back later this week to see part two with some stunning destination wedding photos from their private ceremony in the Black Hills of South Dakota!

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

Thank you again to Heather for working so closely with me to bring her vision to life for her custom silk wedding flowers!

Dusty Pink, Nude and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Weddings are so romantic, and when you add in some soft colors and florals that remind me of candlelight, it just ups the romance factor even more! Local bride Erica’s colors were champagne and earth tones, and we had a lot of fun talking through options to give her a look that was dreamy and sweet and went with the dresses but stood out, too. Let’s take a look at the beautiful photos from Katy Greseth with Captured Glory Photography of Erica’s big day!

Here’s our very happy and very photogenic couple! Erica’s bouquet was a mix of dusty pink Roses, nude Roses, White Roses, white Seeds and Baby’s Breath, Olive greenery and Seeded Eucalyptus. The style was not a true round ball style but not quite as branch as some handtied styles. It has a classic feel to it with lots of texture and shape, but leaned a little more formal than casual.

I LOVE these champagne bridesmaid dresses! They are incredibly classic in color but I love that they each chose their own style. The bridesmaid bouquets were a simplified version of the bridal bouquet with a little less roundness to them. The greenery provided a good frame around the flowers and made them look so good against the champagne dresses.

Erica also ordered a custom altar arrangement that she wanted to be lush and full to match the setting of her outdoor ceremony. It also incorporated the same mix of flowers and greenery from the bridal bouquet but made to fit in the corner of the natural wood and vine arch at the ceremony site.

“Erin was amazing to work with on my wedding flowers! She sent photo updates throughout the process and when I changed my mind about certain flowers she offered alternatives and swapped them out for me in our bouquets. She worked in a timely manner, had great communication and excellent prices. Would definitely use her services again!”

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

Terra Cotta, Rust and Neutral Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

When I was in high school, centuries ago, our school colors were orange and navy blue. My school was built in the 60’s, and apparently, those colors were a hot combination! Us enlightened youth though there was no way orange could be or ever would be a popular color again. I stand corrected! I am in love with this hot new trend of neutrals, earth tones and terra cotta, rust and oranges. Never would I have put them together myself, but we only need to look to nature for inspiration! Today’s lovely wedding photos were passed on to me by my awesome bride Brianna! She had a clear vision for her flowers and I was honored to bring it to life! The following photos are by Bob Durling and you can find him on Instagram.

Brianna’s bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of orange preserved Bunny Tails, off white Pampas, rust Roses, white Roses, white Bamboo, orange Eucalyptus, mini beige Pampas, and beige Baby's Breath. It had more pieces going vertical than you might see in a typical round style bridal bouquet, but that only added interest! The bridesmaid bouquets had the same mix of flowers, just in a smaller size.

Brianna also needed an altar arrangement go on this beautiful arch. It was nicely accented with draped fabric that tied everything together nicely for the decor.

These custom aisle arrangements were a great way to draw the eyes all the way down the aisle and also stretch the decor farther into the room.

Are you considering a color combination that maybe you never thought you would? Or maybe it’s a classic color palette that you’d like to put a new spin on?

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!”

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.

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!”

Navy and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I am excited to show you today’s wedding because it’s a great example of a classy and subtle way to include something you like into your wedding flowers. Bride Jenni mentioned that her soon-to-be-husband was a Notre Dame fame and they wanted to include to bring that into their wedding flowers, they wanted to incorporate Kelly Green and Navy, along with white. Let’s take a look at how we accomplished that in these photos by Lindy Heiss at Vision of Beauty.

Here’s our sweet bride Jenni with her illuminating smile! Her round handtied bridal bouquet was a mix of white Roses, white Anemone with navy centers, white Heather, navy Roses, Fern and Ficus. They are such a happy looking couple!

Jenni’s daughters were a part of their special day and each carried mini bouquets that included the same mix of flowers and greens as the bridal bouquet.

“After visiting several local florists who told me my vision bouquet just wasn’t possible, I found Erin. Without ever meeting in person, she was able to take the vision in my mind and create it perfectly. My bouquet was exactly what I was hoping for, and the small bouquets for my two daughters were the perfect size. All three bouquets are now on display in our home, and I love that they will last a lifetime.”
