Green, White and Blush Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Matthew’s wife reached out to me about recreating her bouquet in 2020. She had held onto that information and Matthew came to me ready to make it happen! He sent me some great shots of the bouquet with some added details through the process to help me get it just right! Let’s take a look at the photos Matt provided alongside photos of this custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers!

Julie’s Bouquet was a really classic round style bouquet with a mix of green Hydrangea, some light green Roses, white Roses and Calla Lilies and blush pink Roses. It was not only a classic shape, but timeless color palette as well!

“Very impressed with both the service and the quality. I didn’t think anyone could recreate my wife’s bouquet adequately that’s why I was hesitant to start the process. But with only a few pictures and a little bit of input from us Love is Blooming was able to masterfully recreate my wife’s bouquet. I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but love is blooming definitely deserves, and has absolutely earned, five stars.”
— Matthew | Illinois

It’s never too late to look for a heartfelt anniversary gift! If a custom bridal bouquet recreation seems like a great idea, maybe go back and read Matt’s words one more time;) Contact me today to start the process for your custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers!

Lavender and Purple Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Last November, Nate contacted me about a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers of his wife’s bridal bouquet. However, every component of the bouquet matters, and at the time, I had to give Nate the unfortunate news that I wasn’t able to find the Irises in the right color, nor could I find the mini Daisies in light lavender. Because it was fall and lots of fall (and even Christmas) flowers were taking up a lot of the inventory, I told him to check back with me in the spring to see what I could find. Nate did just that and reached out to me at the peak of spring flower season, and lo and behold, I found what I needed! Let’s take a look at this custom bridal bouquet recreation compared to the original bouquet with his lovely wife featured in these photos by Heidi Leigh Photography!

Madison’s bouquet was a handtied style bridal bouquet with a mix of plum Carnations, wisteria colored Iris, lavender and ivory Roses, lavender mini Daisies and Asparagus fern. It also had a really great detail of having a purple ribbon wrap with a bow that was two layered- dark purple and white.

“She recreated my wedding bouquet and I absolutely love it!!!”
— Madison | Ohio

Thanks to Nate’s persistence, we were able to work together to recreate Madison’s bouquet for a meaningful and long lasting gift. If you are in the market for a gift to wow someone special in your life, contact me today to start the process!

Red, Pink and White Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Today’s custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers feature is a really fun one to share because of the finished product. I mean, I guess they are all fun to share because of the finished product. But today’s is more about the display than usual! A number of bouquet recreations have gone on to be displayed in unique ways like this shadowbox example, this memento shadowbox, or flower and invitation keepsake display. But this is the first time where a wedding dress has been featured with a bouquet recreation! First let’s take a look at the custom bridal bouquet recreation alongside the original provided by photos by Ashley’s family friend, Britney.

Ashley’s bouquet was a dramatic cascading beauty with a mix of red Garden Roses, pink Spray Roses, a single lavender Rose and lots of Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Ruscus. It was a stunner!

She also commissioned me to recreate the groom’s boutonniere which was a simple arrangement of two white spray roses, seeds and matching greenery with a touch of white satin ribbon.

But here’s the cool part! When Ashley ordered the bouquet, they were working on a remodel of their house, including a custom display case for her wedding dress! They created a place at the top to display the bouquet along with her dress for a lovely vignette for their special pieces!

“I hadn’t thought about preserving my wedding bouquet until after we got back from our honeymoon which was to late. I am SO glad I found Erin, this was an amazing piece of work for something I thought was lost. I was able to put it with my wedding dress display.”
— Ashley | Wisconsin

50th Anniversary Bridal Bouquet Recreation Surprise - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

In May, I had the honor of celebrating and honoring my parents for their 50th anniversary! We helped put together a wonderful party full of people they love and fun mementos from their wedding day and their 50 years of marriage. I worked with my mom to create custom centerpieces that were bright and happy for this spring celebration. But what she didn’t know was that I planned to recreate her bridal bouquet and surprise her during a family dinner. Not only was it a great piece to display at their party, but it became a meaningful keepsake to display in their home.

Anniversary-gift-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers

This groovy 70’s bouquet was a mix of white Daisies, yellow Tea Roses, and Asparagus Fern in a cascading style bouquet.

For the centerpieces, we were trying to keep things budget friendly, so I purchased some bushes that had a mix of colors, flowers and greenery. Everything got trimmed down and constructed into centerpieces in white geometric vases.

We had such a fun time at the party that we didn’t get photos of the centerpieces in action or the fun cake and memento tables where they displayed the bouquet recreation:) If you are interested in a special gift like this, contact me today for more information!

Tropical Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Cory’s custom bridal bouquet recreation was a fun one to make. I love the bright colors and the high contrast in this round handtied bouquet. They were married in Jamaica at The Couple Negril resort. What I like about this bouquet is that it has touches of tropical but also has a classic look to it. Let’s take a look at these photo by Jason Thorpe!

Jason Thorpe

The original bridal bouquet was a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of: white Dahlia, Baby's Breath,-purple Dendrobium Orchids, Leather Leaf Fern, plum Mini Daisies, lime Garden Roses, white Mini Carnations, and a few white Dendrobium Orchids.

Jason Thorpe

“Erin did an amazing job recreating the wedding bouquet for my wife for our 4th anniversary. We got married in Jamaica and could not bring our wedding bouquet home to the US. Erin was able to match the flower species in the bouquet perfectly using only a few photos I sent her from our wedding. I feel like the service alone of knowing what the flowers were was worth more than the price I paid for the bouquet. The bouquet looks amazingly like the original wedding bouquet, and doesn’t look like the normal “fake” flowers I have seen. My wife was blown away by how beautiful the bouquet looked. I would definitely recommend Erin and Love Is Blooming to anyone!!!”
— Cory | Iowa

I have done quite a few recreations from couples who had a destination wedding and had to leave the bouquet behind. If you’d like to recreate your wedding day bouquet with high quality silk flowers to enjoy as an anniversary, birthday or just because gift, reach out to me today!

Purple Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

It’s full on spring here in Minnesota which means the Lilacs are lilacing! I thought today’s bouquet would be a perfect one to share because of it! Vinnie reached out to me about a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers for a gift for his wife. He sent me photos of this stunner bouquet and we got to work figuring out all the components. Let’s take a look at the side-by-side of the recreation with the original. Photos by Jennifer Childress Photography.

This bouquet was large and in charge and chock full of color and texture. Vinnie was deciding how to display this best in a shadow box but ultimately decided to do a full size replica. The bouquet was a round, handtied style with a mix of: white Hydrangea, lavender Rose buds, purple Lilac, Queen Anne's Lace, Statice, and Pittosporum. It was finished off with a sheer white ribbon with pearls. So classy, so lovely!

“Erin was great to work with. From pricing to communication to finished product, it couldn’t have been any easier. The work and recreation matched perfectly. It had my wife in tears when she saw it.”
— Vinnie | Pennsylvania

I love lilacs and love how much interest they add to any arrangement. Are you interested in adding them into your dream wedding flowers? Or maybe you had them in your bouquet and would love to have it recreated. Check out how the process works and let me know how I can help!

Keign reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet and was hoping to surprise her with this meaningful gift. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original in the awesome photos from Photography by Brogan.

This stunning bouquet was a mix of coral and white Ranunculus, white Cosmos, white Spray Roses, coral Cabbage Roses and a touch of Ruscus. I loved the unique shape of this bouquet! It was handtied style but a more linear shape than the more traditional round shape. It was finished up with a raw edge silk ribbon in a lovely peachy-pink color.

“Absolutely amazing recreation! Erin did a fantastic job, my wife was overjoyed with the recreation!”
— Keign | Washington

Gold, Pink and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Bridal bouquet recreations in silk wedding flowers are fun for me to make because I know they are going to bring a lot of joy to the recipient. Not that brides aren’t joyful when they get their flowers (check out some of my almost 20 years of reviews if you’re curious), but I know that a bouquet recreation is just an extra sweet moment for the giver and the receiver. Today’s bouquet is a lovely gold, pink and white bouquet that Steven sent me photos of to surprise his wife. Let’s compare the recreation with the original from the photos Steven sent to me from his photographer: Martha Jane’s Photography.

The original round handtied bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, white Hydrangea, pink Roses, green Hypericum Berries, Lace Fern and Ficus with a burlap wrap.

“Erin was able to recreate my Wife’s wedding bouquet perfectly. I gave them to her as a part of our 10 year wedding anniversary. The arrangement was spot on. Down to they weave on the burlap wrapping. I cannot more highly recommend. Communication was prompt, I felt like I was kept in the loop. The progress photos were a great addition to see, as it was coming together.”

Calla Lily and Greenery Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love today’s bouquet! It’s a classic style with a twist because it isn’t as buttoned up as I usually see Calla Lily bouquets. It’s a little wild, lush, and would look great in any wedding venue. Amanda reached out to me about her daughter-in-law’s bouquet, and I was excited to work with her to get it just right! This handtied style bridal bouquet is a mix of large white Calla Lilies, Eucalyptus and Ficus with a touch of twine wrapped around the stems. Let’s take a look at how it turned out in silk wedding flowers!

Photo of original bouquet provided by the bride.

“I wanted to let you know I received the flowers yesterday and they are gorgeous!!! You did a beautiful job and far surpassed my expectations. They look so real! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to give them to my daughter in law for Christmas. She is going to love them. ”

Short Turn Around, Dream Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Have you ever had a deadline for work, school or personal goals that required you to problem solve at top speed? Today’s wedding is this very situation! Vera contacted with me with just about two weeks until her wedding date. She had come across a wedding I did that was of Royal Blue, Light Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers, and she fell in love with the color combination and the flowers. Thankfully, I could get a hold of what I needed to recreate the look for her. Here are some photos by Ryan Michaels Photography of Vera’s dream wedding flowers!

Vera wanted a simple look with royal blue Roses, light blue Roses and white Baby’s Breath in a smaller handtied style bridal bouquet.

There were a few additional items that she wanted to tie everything together including some small flowers for her hair and a matching groom’s boutonniere of a royal blue Rose, white Baby’s Breath and a touch of greenery.

“I wanted silk flowers for my wedding and after some googling found a picture of a bouquet that I LOVED at Love is Blooming. I only had a few weeks before my wedding at this point, so I emailed Erin and asked her if she could make something like that for me in that time frame. She said yes and sent over pictures within a day or two. She made a beautiful bouquet and boutonniere for my husband. I wanted some white flowers in my hair and asked her if she had any left over from the bouquet that she could send me, and she said she did. She also sent some extra blue flowers that I was able to use for decorations around the cake that went with my bouquet. And she included the extra flowers for free. Everything was beautiful and she got it done so quickly!”
— V | California

Cake flowers don’t need to be over the top. A small cluster of Hydrangea in the right color was just what Vera’s cake needed!

The great thing about silk wedding flowers is that everything is custom and you are working directly with me. Despite our short turn around time, Vera got all the items she wanted and they were within her budget and matched her vision for her wedding day.

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation for a Shadowbox - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

I love a good DIY, which is kind of why I ended up starting Love is Blooming Silk Wedding Flowers! Today’s silk bridal bouquet recreation became part of a DIY project by bride Nicola. She sent me photos of her bouquet with the plan to enclose the bouquet in a shadowbox along with other keepsakes from her wedding day. Let’s take a look at the photos of her bouquet and the recreation!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers

Her round handtied bouquet was a mix of white, dusty pink and burgundy Roses, with special gold dyed greenery. The challenge with this arrangement is that the shadowbox was only going to be a few inches deep, so I couldn’t recreate an actual round bouquet, it needed to showcase all the elements, but be flat at the back. Nicola was kind enough to send me her finished project so we can see how it all turned out!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers-diy
“I am so happy I found “Love is Blooming Silk Wedding Flowers” to recreate my wedding bouquet. I was so sad when I couldn’t preserve my real flowers. I reached out to the business and got connected with Erin. Erin was so kind, professional and communicated every step of the way. She sent me samples of what flowers and ribbons she can use. Upon completion she sent me a picture of the finished product. When I received the flowers It looked just like my real wedding flowers and the emotions of my special day came back. Thank you Erin !!”
— Nicola | Florida

A full sized custom bridal bouquet recreation may not be practical for your situation, but a shadowbox might be a great compromise. Here are a few other brides who took this idea and made it their own:

She worked from oddly angled photos and beautifully stylized photography, since it was three years later.

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.

Custom Bridal Bouquet Recreation Anniversary Gift - Reveal

Tyler reached out to me about an anniversary gift for his wife. He sent over photos of her beautiful bridal bouquet and I got to work looking for the closest matches I could find. Let’s take a look at how it shaped up!

Schilling Photography

The original bouquet was a mix of of white Hydrangea, white and coral Roses, Eucalyptus and Seeds in a round handtied style with some cascading greenery.

Schilling Photography

“I sent Erin a few pictures of my wife’s wedding bouquet to make a replica and she absolutely nailed it! She kept me updated on the process and asked to see other pictures if she was not 100% sure. She really worked with me, since I know nothing about flowers, and was able to recreate it just from the pictures. My wife loved it! I let her open it out of the box because I was excited to give it to her and she was very surprised. She had to look at pictures to compare because it looked exactly the same as her wedding bouquet. She immediately started to find a place to display it after that. I think she was a little speechless, but was definitely excited about it. It will always be there to remind us of our special day!”
