Bright and Happy Custom Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Corbin found me on his hunt for a special anniversary gift for his wife. He shared with me that they had moved recently and had to decide about keeping her “old, dried up bridal bouquet.” They ultimately decided to say goodbye to it, but his wife kept a bouquet of silk flowers from her friend’s wedding. That gave Corbin the idea to have her bouquet recreated in silk flowers. And that’s how he found me! He sent me photos of her bouquet, and I loved how bright and happy and full of texture her bouquet was. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original, featured in these photos by MLE Photo Art by Emily Wysocki.

The original bouquet was a large, loose handtied style bouquet with some draping greenery. It consisted of peach Roses, cream Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, blue Delphinium, pink Delphinium, yellow Freesia, Queen Anne’s Lace, Ruscus, Sword Eucalyptus, Gunni Eucalyptus and small filler greens.

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!

Dusty Pink, Blush and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

Last week, the featured silk wedding flowers showed a very similar color scheme as today’s wedding with bride Kelsey. But you can see that despite similar colors, these custom silk wedding flower arrangements are a totally different vibe! Not only did we deepen up the pinks to include a dusty rose pink, but there are touches of beige and some dustier greenery. Thanks to these photos by Danielle Christensen Photography, we are going to get a good look at Kelsey’s custom silk bridal bouquet in dusty pink, blush and white.

Here’s our awesome couple and with attire like theirs, I only want complement and not take away. Kelsey’s teardrop cascade style bouquet was a mix of white Roses, dusty pink Roses, dusty pink Peonies, beige Baby's Breath, white Seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus and some smaller greens mixed in.

In this close up shot to the left, you can see the beautiful texture of her dress which blended perfectly with the texture in her bouquet. We kept the groom’s boutonniere simple with a dusty pink Rose, beige Baby’s Breath and some greenery.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquet with a few white roses, a dusty pink Rose, a dusty pink Peony, Seeds, beige Baby's Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus. They were a perfect match to the bridal bouquet without being overpowering. Plus they looked great up against those stunning pale pink dresses!

Kelsey wanted to add a swag for her sweetheart table which was a nice touch to tie all the floral arrangements together from the ceremony to the reception. This low swag provided a background for their Mr. & Mrs. signs and brought some color to their stunning white set up.

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!

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!

I LOVE this purple and white bridal bouquet recreation that I recently made for Daniel to gift his lovely wife for their anniversary! He was able to send me some photos of the bouquet, taken by DC productions ATX. Let’s take a look at what made up this stunner of a bouquet!

DC productions ATX

This handtied bouquet was a mix of deep purple Hydrangea and Lisianthus, lavender and plum Delphinium, white Baby’s Breath and Ranunculus, Lavender sprigs and lots of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The variety of purples in this bouquet added depth and the different shapes and textures of the flowers made this such an interesting bouquet. Then you add in greenery and you have very lively bouquet!

“Erin did such a great job! My wife tried to dry out her wedding bouquet, but it didn’t go well. Erin was able to perfectly recreate the bouquet just from pictures! amazing work, I am so glad that we found her!”

Burnt Orange, Terra Cotta, Nude, White and Beige Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

This last year, I had the fun task of working Orange and Terra Cotta into a variety of weddings. I absolutely loved the creativity that my bride’s brought with their ideas. And I’m excited to share Ashley’s burnt orange, terra cotta, nude, white and beige silk wedding flowers. Her arrangements were full of texture and interest and were lovely additions to her November wedding. Let’s take a look at some photos from her very talented photographer Christina Jo Photography!

Ashley’s bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of beige baby's breath, terra cotta, rust and nude Roses, white Bamboo, mini pampas and larger pampas. If you look in the photo above, it was a perfect accent to both her wedding dress and her groom’s unique sport coat. Don’t you love the beige and plaid detail?

Let’s talk for a minute about Pampas grass. It’s a super popular and lovely addition to wedding florals, but it sheds like crazy! Unless you want to have it all over your dress, your groom’s tux or any other fabric in your general vicinity, faux Pampas is a great alternative. There is no allergy risk, no shedding and it’s not as delicate as the real stuff.

Thanks again to Ashley for sharing these lovely images of her custom bridal bouquet in silk flowers for her big day. Do you have your eye on this color palette? Or maybe you were considering Pampas in your wedding flowers?

White and Hunter Green Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s beautiful bouquet recreation tells a great story of what it takes to get things just right! If you have a simple bouquet, it’s a pretty easy process. But if there is a variety of flowers and greens in the bouquet, it takes some hunting on my part. And if your wife had bridal photos before the big day and carried a bouquet, then it takes some sleuthing to figure out which bouquet to recreate! Rennie reached out to me with some photos of his wife’s bouquet, looking for an anniversary gift. As I scrolled back and forth between the photos, I realized there were two different bouquets! A few emails later and we had it worked out which bouquet I was to recreate. Let’s take a look at this beautiful white and hunter green bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers!

This classic style bouquet was a mix of white Garden Roses, Tulips, Hydrangea, Larkspur, Hypericum Berries, Ruscus, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Seeds and Cedar Greenery finished off with a deep green Velvet ribbon.

“Erin was a pleasure to work with! Very prompt responses and the final product was well worth the cost. Ordered a duplicate wedding bouquet as the original was not preserved properly. It now sits proudly on display in our home for us to look at every day!”
— Rennie | Texas

White and Blush Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

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.

“Erin was very determined to get our wedding bouquet recreation correct. It turned out amazing and almost an exact duplicate of our original. Thank you so much and I would highly recommend!”
— Derik | Texas

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!

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.

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!”
— Erika | Minnesota

Sean reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet after hearing about my services from a buddy that had just hired me for an anniversary gift. He sent me a few photos, taken by The Wedding Studio, and I got to work! This round style bridal bouquet is a mix of orange and white Garden Roses, burnt orange Calla Lilies and mini variegated Ivy. I finished off the final look with white pearls in the center of each rose and white satin ribbon wrapped down the stems.

“The package arrived today and I gave it to her early. She loves it and was quite surprised. She’s very impressed with how close it is to the original.”

Sunflowers and Navy Blue Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

One thing that will never go out of style is sunflowers! They are bright and cheery, they go great with a variety of color palettes, and they look especially great for weddings that include elements from the great outdoors. My bride, Caitlin, sent me some lovely images from David Paul Photography of her summer wedding. Let’s take a look at a great example of using Sunflowers with a mix of navy and white in custom silk wedding flowers!

Caitlin chose a cascading bridal bouquet with a mix of Sunflowers, navy Roses, navy Wisteria, white Calla Lilies, and Ruscus. It was a lush, full bouquet that looked perfect with the backdrop of a green field as she entered the ceremony site!

sunflower-bridal-bouquet-silk-wedding-flowers-corsage-boutonniere

The bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquet with a mix of navy Roses, Sunflowers, white Callas and Ruscus.

There was a beautiful fireplace as the backdrop for their altar and Caitlin had me design three pieces to coordinate with her bridal bouquet. Along the mantel, I created a long garland with Sunflowers. navy Roses and Wisteria, Calla Lilies and greenery. We didn’t go large with this piece because we needed it to do double duty for the reception area. She also ordered two pieces to sit on the hearth. Instead of making these bouquet style to drop in a vase, they had a flat bottom so they could sit on the ground, on a table top, or anywhere she needed more decor. As you can see below, the versatility of these three custom silk flower arrangements made her dollar stretch and her head table look great!

When ordering cake flowers, there are a few options! You can order a custom floral cake topper, premade clusters for layers, or like Caitlin, you can order loose flowers and greenery for your baker to place on the cake. Their baker did a great job accenting this simple, but classic cake style.

“Thank you for contributing to my big day! The arrangements are now decorating my house.”
— Caitlin | Ohio

Caitlin had worn a tiara for the ceremony but wanted to switch it up for the reception, so I created a custom floral crown that incorporated her flowers and colors

Thanks to Caitlin for sharing her beautiful wedding day with us! If you are interested in adding Sunflowers to your wedding flowers or decor, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

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 only great things to say here. I provided a few pictures, not even really great pictures, and from it received an excellent silk reproduction of my wife’s wedding bouquet. It made a wonderful and emotional 20th-anniversary gift!”
