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.

Burgundy, Navy, Dusty Blue, Orange and Sage Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Mackenzie’s custom silk wedding flowers were a highlight for me this year. I loved her theme colors, I loved the flowers she chose, and I loved how they all came together for a very unique look. One thing she mentioned early on is that she did not like Roses, but as you’ll see from her photos by Simply Hunny Co., we didn’t miss out on anything by not including them. Let’s take a look!

Here’s our amazing couple! Mackenzie’s bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with light blue Hydrangea, white Anemone, dusty blue Dogwood, orange Dahlia, blue Magnolia, burgundy Peony, Willow Eucalyptus, Lamb's Ear, Orange Greenery, and Fern. It was big and bad and awesome! And here’s a great look at the groom’s boutonniere—Anemone, Dogwood, Dahlia bud, Lamb’s Ear and

The bridesmaids carried a larger clutch style bouquet that featured one Magnolia, Dahlia, and Peony, Anemone, Dogwood, and the same mix of greenery. It matched her bouquet but was different enough for her’s to stand out even more.

We decided that the groomsmen bouts would match the bridesmaid dress colors, so we featured the blue Dogwood with greenery and I think it was a great look!

Let’s not forget about the littlest ladies! Her flower girls had these pretty little flower crowns that featured a cluster of matching flowers at the front with a ring of white Baby’s Breath all around.

I had to double check my notes to see if I had created a swag for the head table when she sent me this photo. But these are just her bouquets lined up, doing double decor duty! Which is a great reminder to make your flowers work for you!

“Loved working with Erin! She’s super responsive, easy to work with, and has tons of great ideas and suggestions if you have a vision but need help bringing it all together!”

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!”

Berry, Purple, Peach and Pink Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I am SO excited to share a wedding today that accomplished the feat of being bright and moody! Marissa’s custom silk wedding flowers had pops of bright tones in berry purple, peach and pink, but at the same time had depth and texture and greenery that kept it toned down. When you put the flowers against a beautiful natural backdrop like they had, it was perfect! Let’s take a look at these amazing photos by Mountain Meandering Photography.

Marissa’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of berry Dahlia, peach Cabbage Roses, magenta Peony, peach and plum Ranunculus, berry Tea Roses, Willow greens, Olive greens, pink Waxflower, bright pink Carnation, watermelon and burgundy roses. When it was put together, Marissa made a few tweaks of flower placement and then gave her stamp of approval!

The bridesmaids wore the most gorgeous shade of berry pink, not too bright and not too purple. They carried clutch style bouquets with a mix of magenta Peonies, berry Tea Roses and peach Ranunculus and greenery

The guys wore flowers that were featured in the bouquets with the groom wearing a berry Tea Rose with touches of magenta and peach and the groomsmen wore peach Ranunculus with a tiny bit of Waxflower. The littlest guy, the ringbearer had a Tea Rose bud and Waxflower.

“Erin did such an amazing job making my wedding flowers. I know it may seem a little nerve-racking ordering wedding flowers online, but Erin was so helpful during the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with how my bouquet turned out. And the best part is, it will stay beautiful forever! I highly recommend having silk flowers for your wedding, especially from Love is Blooming! Thanks again so much.”
— Marissa | Washington

Some of my favorite detail shots from her wedding day! Don’t you love the lacey look to her dress? And all the bling from her shoes and jewelry? Stunning!

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!

Navy and Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

It’s always great to be a part, as the florist, for such happy occasions. But it’s even more special when it’s family! This summer, I was given the privilege of creating a few special arrangements for the marriage of my brother-in-law to his amazing bride, Melinda. It was a joyful day of celebrating the addition of Melinda and her daughter into our family. Let’s take a look at this navy and gold themed backyard wedding.

Melinda wanted mostly greenery and succulents featured in her modified cascade style bouquet. As we worked through the design, we decided to incorporate some navy roses, lighter blue Forget-me-Nots and added some glam factor with gold mini Palm leaves. Her bouquet was full of texture and movement from the Eucalyptus, Lamb’s Ear, Willow, Fern and Succulents. Their two girls were their wedding party, so I created two mini bouquets featuring a Succulent, Forget-Me-Nots, gold mini Palm and mixed greenery.

“Timeless arrangements that you will cherish. Erin has a true talent that will make all your wedding flower dreams come true. My flowers were exactly what I envisioned.”
— Melinda | Minnesota

With such an awesome back drop, we kept the altar decorations simple with a swag of mixed greenery and some gold mini Palm accents.

What started out as the groom joking about a balloon arch, turned into a show-stopping entrance to the reception area. I also wanted to show you the amazing cake by Cakes For Your Occasions, who happens to be my Mother-in-Law/the Groom’s mom. If you are local and looking for a cake that’s beautiful to look at and tastes amazing too, check her out!

I had to end with my sweet, adorable and delightful nieces. Aren’t they so joyful?

Shades of Pink: Raspberry, Dusty Rose and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Sarah sent over several inspiration photos with her quote request. Most of them had all white/cream flowers with a hint of blush that would have been beautiful against her bridesmaids dusty blue gowns. But she couldn’t quite decide on a style until just the right inspiration photo came along. Instead of just a hint of blush we amped up the pink factor and included some raspberry, dusty rose, blush, and ivory with a variety of Eucalyptus in more of the dusty green and blue tones. Take a look at these custom silk wedding flowers!

The bouquets were all a round handtied style with the bridesmaid bouquets made as smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. They all included mini raspberry Cabbage Roses, dusty pink Curled Roses, ivory Garden Roses, blush Tea Roses, blush seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus, and Willow.

The boutonnieres incorporated her main colors and greenery and the pin on corsages were mainly ivory with hints of blush seeds.

If you have some inspiration photos but you haven’t quite landed on an exact design, send them my way and let’s talk about how to combine your favorite looks for a truly custom set of silk wedding flowers.
