Hawaiian Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

While we aren’t into the cold months of winter here in Minnesota, I wanted to share something to warm us up today! Tropical weddings are super popular in the winter months, and often times, if it’s a destination wedding, there is no option to bring your bouquet back home with you to enjoy. The good news is that you can have a custom bridal bouquet recreation made with high quality silk flowers so you can enjoy it forever! Andrew reached out to me about recreating his wife’s stunning tropical bridal bouquet in silk flowers for their anniversary. Let’s take a look at the original bouquet, designed and created by Kealoha Flowers and photographed by Julia Streich Photography.

One thing to work around with recreations is the editing that can be done on photos. As you can see from the above photos, there are some filters that affect the color. See the photo below for a more accurate example of the colors in the bouquet.

Her round, handtied bouquet was composed of: Ranunculus, King Protea, Ginger, Peony, Phalaenopsis Orchids, Spray Roses, Anthurium, Dusty Miller, Fern, Eucalyptus, Seedum and one show stopping Dracaena. I love the texture and colors!

“I HIGHLY recommend Love is Blooming Silk Wedding Flowers for a beautiful recreation of an original bouquet. My wife and I got married on the beach in Kauai and were not able to get our original bouquet home. I reached out to Erin to have it recreated for our anniversary. She was very responsive and pleasant to work with and did a great job recreating our unique Hawaii bouquet! Highly recommend!!”

Pomegranate and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’ve been waiting to share these flowers with you since Ashleigh’s February wedding! I absolutely loved her design choices and how the bouquets came together, so when she sent me the photos from her big day, I was so excited to finally be able to share them!! Ashleigh’s color palette was pomegranate/dark berry and navy, and she wanted to bring in some mauve and greenery for a really rich look that wasn’t a traditional pink bouquet. Let’s take a look at these photos from her photographer: Daniel Sexton Photography.

Here’s our beautiful bride Ashleigh! Her bouquet was a large, loose modified cascade style bridal bouquet with mix of blush Seedum, berry Dahlias, berry mini Mums, navy mini Ranunculus, dusty pink Zinnia, a mix berry Roses and Peonies, peach Cabbage Roses, Willow, Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. It had color and texture to keep your eye moving, but wasn’t over the top!

The groom’s boutonniere was a berry Rose, Seedum, navy mini Ranunculus and matching greenery. The bridesmaid bouquets were loose handtied style with the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet just smaller. While they were the same modified cascade shape, they did incorporate the Willow greenery which gave them some trailing pieces which is not as common for bridesmaid bouquets. I loved that they were different in that way!

“I had a great experience working with Erin at Love is Blooming! She was very helpful with providing me with options and ideas when I wasn’t sure what flowers I wanted, and she was very responsive throughout the whole process. My bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, and all the boutonnieres and corsages were absolutely gorgeous and unique and I’m so happy I chose silk flowers so I can hold onto them as a keepsake as well.”
— Ashleigh | Florida

Here’s a look at one of the groomsmen bouts with a berry Dahlia and one of the mother’s wrist corsages that had a berry rose with accents. I loved that not everyone had the same main flower, but they all incorporated the same main color.

Custom Wedding Flowers to Complement Wisteria Bridesmaid Dresses

, , ,

This is my fourth wedding in the last 9 months where Wisteria was the main wedding color. When bridesmaids are wearing Wisteria dresses, you want colors that complement them without being too matchy-matchy. Rachel’s wedding flowers were a fun challenge because she wanted to incorporate some mauve and blush pink for a soft romantic look. We decided her silk bridal bouquet was the perfect place for that.

This modified cascading bridal bouquet had ivory Roses, ivory Dahlia, ivory Ranunculus, mauve Roses, blush pink Tulips, blush pink Seedum, plum Heather, Fern, Smilax and Ivy with Antique White satin ribbon.

The bridesmaid bouquets were quite a bit different from the bridal bouquet. The base of the bouquet was Hydrangea for a nice full look, a single ivory Dahlia, cream mini Tulips with a collar of plum Heather and Smilax. They were finished off with Antique White ribbon.

The toss bouquet was a mix between both styles of bouquets with ivory Roses and Hydrangea, mauve Roses, plum Heather, Smilax and a touch of Fern. I added the Antique White ribbon and some tails because they look good flying through the air.

Rustic Beauty- Succulents in Wedding Flowers

I've been itching to do a wedding with a significant amount of succulents and I finally got my wish.  When local bride Katy contacted me, she told me that she really wanted to include succulents for her up north wedding.  I was more than happy to oblige!  We did a variety of succulents for the different boutonnieres and then really went all out for her teardrop cascading bridal bouquet.

Cascading Bridal Bouquet: Peonies, Succulents, Orchids, Seedum, Fern Curls, Millet, Dusty Miller.  Chocolate satin ribbon with twine detail.

A big thank you to Katy for allowing me to create with abandon.  And a huge hug to my big brother Jon of 3104 Studios who shot these artsy fartsy images for me.  Gorgeous right?!
