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.”

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.

Wine, Black and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Last week, I showed you Kasey’s lovely winter wedding flowers, and today, I wanted to show you how I can easily take a similar color scheme but give a very different look. Sydney’s custom silk wedding flowers incorporated almost the same color scheme as Kasey’s but as you’ll see had a style all their own. Let’s take a look at these awesome photos by Stephanie Lane Photo.

Sydney’s bridal bouquet was a dramatic modified cascade style with a mix of wine Roses, Zinnia and Dahlia, white Cosmos, Ranunculus and Anemone, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus and trailing burgundy Amaranthus to add the cascading effect. You can see what a great mix of textures and shades of wine and burgundy made it into her bouquet and we even got a touch of black with the centers of the Anemone.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquets with Zinnia, Dahlia, Amaranthus and a rose in burgundy, Anemone and Ranunculus in white and the same greenery as the bridal bouquet. Let’s take one more minute to appreciate Sydey’s stunning dress and then we can appreciate why it needed a bridal bouquet to match that high fashion!

“Our flowers were BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what I asked for (truly even better than what I imagined)! Looked so real and arranged in such a nice way :) Erin was on top of getting the flowers to us, and was very detailed in her work with us- checking in to see if her plans for the flowers fit what we wanted. Really awesome experience! Would recommend!”

All the boutonnieres and corsages coordinated with similar flowers and the same color scheme to make a cohesive look across all their family and friends.

A huge thank you to Sydney for sharing her lovely wedding day photos! If you are working with a similar color scheme and want to hear about how I can design custom bouquets for your wedding day, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Fall Silk Bouquet Recreation with Sunflowers

,

Fall is such a magical time. The leaves are changing, there is cooler weather, and my favorite part: I get to bring out my sweaters! Fall is great for other reasons too: sunflowers, cozy and warm color combinations, and anniversaries. And lots of them.

Trey had me recreate his wife’s beautiful bouquet that had some classic touches of fall. Composed of Sunflowers, Zinnias, Billy Buttons, Fern, Seeded Eucalyptus, and a little green Moss makes this for a bright and sunny fall bouquet. Trey had a good eye for detail, so when it came time for me to wrap the stems, he was able to clue me in on the original material. His wife had it wrapped in blue tulle; it was her “something blue.” Cute, right? Take a look at this awesome silk bouquet recreation!

Spring Planning for Fall Flowers

Ok, so Spring has officially sprung. But, maybe you just got engaged and are looking into planning your wedding for fall.  If so, then this post is for you!

Ellie worked with me to design her fall silk wedding flowers just a week and half before their laid back, up North nuptials. She wasn't picky, liked a vintage vibe, and really hoped to incorporate her favorite flower, the Magnolia. Oh, and her other big request was that she really wanted twigs. Like really, really wanted twigs.

Take a look at what we came up with for her bouquet:

Bridal Bouquet: orange Dahlias, purple Roses, cream Magnolia, green Hydrangea, burgundy mini Zinnias, fall leaves, and twigs.

Bridesmaid Bouquet: orange Dahlias, purple Roses, green Hydrangea, burgundy mini Zinnias, fall leaves, and twigs.

These boutonnieres were some of my favorites.  We incorporated rustic looking Succulents with the mini Zinnias, and a fall leaf instead of the traditional greenery.  I also added a Magnolia bud into the groom's boutonniere.

The mothers' corsages had a purple Rose, a bit of green Hydrangea, a burgundy mini Zinnia, and fall leaves.  All the arrangements were finished off with twine on the stems, a detail that fit into the rustic and organic feel they were going for.  Thanks again to Justin and Ellie for letting me be a part of your big day!

Fall in New York: The flowers

My client Meta and I scheduled a consultation on one of her trips through the Twin Cities. She told me her plans for a beautiful Autumn wedding in New York -at a castle! I was super excited to take part in creating her arrangements. She wanted her color palette to be fall-ish but not drab in any way. I steered her towards the Jewel tones that would suit the occasion and feature the season as well.

We incorporated lots of different flowers to give the arrangements unique textures as well as a visually interesting mixture of colors. Blue Cornflowers, red Roses, orange Dahlias, orange Zinnias, gold Cosmos, green and burgundy Aster Mums, and red Hypericum berries were included in the different arrangements. A perfect combo of bright and seasonal if you ask me!
