Fairy Tale Themed Silk Bridal Bouquet

, , , ,

When you hear about Fairy Tale Themed weddings, you might think, but where do they get the friendly woodland creatures to surround them on their magical day?? Ok, so maybe that’s just what I think of ;) How about a wedding held outdoors at the very unique Minnesota Rennaissance Festival for that dreamy, fairy tale wedding? That is where bride Sarah is headed later this summer for her enchanting ceremony with these silk wedding flowers.

This awesomely big bouquet was filled with a variety of textures and colors. It incorporated ivory Roses, lavender Cabbage Roses, plum Peonies, Lavender sprigs, lavender and wisteria Heather, lavender Hydrangea, Ivy and Eucalyptus.

Sarah liked the idea of wrapping the handle with two different colors of ribbon. I used a classic ballet tie with an Antique White base with Lavender satin criss-crossed over the top. It felt like the beginnings of a bouquet fit for royalty, but adding in a bunch of ribbon streamers seemed like the perfect way to make a bouquet fit for a princess.

Custom Cascading Silk Bridal Bouquet

, ,

I hereby declare 2020 the year of the Cascading Bridal Bouquet! I mean, I don’t have a gold trimmed certificate for my declaration, but I’ve received enough orders for cascading bouquets this year (and last year) to make such a declaration. And to be clear, cascading bridal bouquets never went out of style. While round bouquets came on strong in the early 2000’s and beyond, I have seen a resurgence in the popularity of the cascade.

Here’s another take on this classic tear drop style bouquet in silk wedding flowers. Mary wanted a red, burgundy and blush pink bouquet to match her bridesmaids’ dresses and her church’s decor. We talked about a few options and settled on these pretty deep red Roses, dark burgundy Calla Lilies, lighter burgundy and ivory Calla Lillies and then some sweet Apple Blossoms in blush pink.

A hint of greenery and some Antique White satin ribbon finish off this lovely silk cascading bridal bouquet.

Mary’s bridesmaids will be wearing burgundy dresses that had some gorgeous detaisl, so we kept their bouquets simple with a clutch of burgundy and ivory Calla Lillies. I finished it off with the Antique White satin ribbon so all bouquets matched.

If you are considering a cascading style bridal bouquet, silk flowers could be the answer for you. Not only will you get to see the flowers ahead of time, you get to have input on what goes in the bouquet, the overall look and the finished size. Check out my Bridal Bouquet page to read about the different styles or check out my blog to see more examples of silk bridal bouquets in the cascading style.

Lavender, Violet, and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Lavender has been another hot color this year. And what’s fun is that my brides have chosen some really pretty ways to accent the lavender. This custom silk cascading bridal bouquet is a great example of using a pastel color in a mix of wedding flowers and textures so that it doesn’t feel dated or too muted.

I used a violet Phalaenopsis Orchid along with lavender and ivory Roses with some Smilax for a pop of green. I really like how the contrast between the ivory and violet is bridged by that soft lavender.

Antique white ribbon for a bridal touch.

The matching bridesmaid bouquet was a really pretty mix of lavender Roses, a few violet Orchids and Smilax. I wrapped the handle with Rosewater ribbon which is a nice in between pink and purple shade. It was a perfect fit on for this bouquet.

The cute little toss bouquet incorporated ivory and lavender Roses and violet Orchids. I wrapped the handle in Antique White satin ribbon and added tails in Rosewater.

Elopement Bridal Bouquet with Sunflowers and Succulents

, , , ,

Let’s talk about elopements! The movies show it as a spur-of-the-moment decision followed by a trot to the courthouse and saying your “I do’s” in front of a judge in your best whatever you’re wearing. But does it have to be that? Can you elope with forethought? The answer is yes! Take a look at this gorgeous cascading bridal bouquet in silk flowers I made for a bride who will be eloping in a few months.

This out of state elopement, might not be 100% spontaneous, but when you want a custom bridal bouquet in silk flowers to carry on your big day, does it really matter? This bright and summer-y bouquet consisted of Sunflowers, Baby’s breath, Succulents, Silver Dollar Eucalytpus, and seeded Eucalyptus. She wanted a rustic accent, so I added a woven burlap ribbon to the handle and criss-crossed some thin white satin ribbon with a cute little bow for some charm.

Sunflowers and Succulents in Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

Alexandra’s modified cascading silk bridal bouquet was a little bit wild and a lot bright and sunny. This custom wedding flower design for her spring wedding incorporates Sunflowers, Succulents, Craspedia, Freesia, Mini Mums, Heather, Twigs, Smilax, Amaranthus, and Vegmo.

The silk bridesmaid bouquets included all the same flowers but in a more round style and with an asymmetrical design that incorporated one large succulent.

This smaller package of flowers included just a few boutonnieres to match. I liked the idea of not going with a traditional look of one larger flower, greens and ribbon. For the groom’s boutonniere, I used a Craspedia, mini Mums, Vegmo, Heather, and greens with a twig to match the bridal bouquet. The groomsmen's’ boutonnieres had a mini Sunflower, mini Mums, Heather and greens.

Alexandra chose to have a custom altar arrangements made to match. I decided to once again go the non-traditional route with an asymmetrical arrangement that incorporated all the same flowers and elements of the bridal bouquet including the twigs and greenery. This table spray will be an awesome accent piece for their ceremony.

Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers with Bling

, ,

Pink, in any shade, is in style. In my 15 years of creating custom silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquets in Minneapolis area and across the country (and world), there hasn’t been a single year where I haven’t done multiple pink weddings. No purple this year, sure. No yellow in sight, no surprise there. But pink? There’s always been pink.

If you are considering pink, you can’t go wrong. And if you want to find a way for your silk wedding flowers to stand out, just add bling! Take a look these silk flower bouquets that I customized after my bride saw these flowers.

This round style silk bridal bouquet is made of Roses, Peonies, Tulips and hand wired broaches in the bouquet. I wrapped the handle with antique white ribbon before adding a layer of rhinestone wrap for some extra glam.

Bridal and Toss Bouquet

The bridesmaid bouquets matched but we decided to take out the tulips and add in Phalaenopsis Orchids as well as some individual oversized rhinestones.

Matching boutonnieres incuded Roses, Phalaenopsis Orchids and mini Peony buds. The wrist corsages were upgraded to include a pearl beaded bracelet—a keepsake the moms would get to wear after the big day was but a memory.

Cascading Silk Bridal Bouquet with Purple Flowers

, ,

Purple is an awesome color and looks fantastic in weddings of all seasons. Lighter tones look great for summer and spring and darker tones work well in fall and winter. And you really can’t go wrong by using darker and lighter tones together for silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquets. Take Wendy’s bouquet for example. Her cascading silk bridal bouquet included Peonies, Roses and Calla Lilies in shades of white and ivory along with Violets in a deeper purple and Lavender in, well, lavender. She liked the idea of some greenery in there, so we added a few varieties including Fern, Rosemary sprigs and Ficus for a very timeless look.

Wendy also needed two custom altar arrangements with silk wedding flowers for her ceremony. She already had 2 quart Mason jars she planned to use for the vases, so I created two of these matching arrangements to just drop into her jars on the big day.

“My husband, Cliff, recently worked with you in recreating my wedding bouquet for our fourth wedding anniversary. Our special day was last Friday, November 8, and as expected, I was surprised and touched with this incredibly thoughtful gift. I was completely taken away, not only by the tremendous resemblance in sight, but also how remarkably similar this bouquet was in weight to the original. If I close my eyes, I can actually believe I’m holding the exact bouquet from 4 years ago! Your work and your attention to detail is extraordinary; you are so very talented! Cliff also spoke highly of your customer service and the great time and patience you took in working with him to ensure that this project turned out perfect. I personally thank you for creating this beautiful reminder of our wedding day, and for all the assistance you gave Cliff to help him make our day so special.”

Amanda wanted her amazing bridal bouquet recreated in high quality silk flowers. Even though her wedding wasn’t in a tropical location, it did include a tropical flower- blue Dendrobium orchids. But there was no need to worry about flowers being out season, excessive cost for a tropical flower, or anything like that.

If you are looking to have a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers created for you, or your wife, there’s no need to worry about ordering in a certain season to get what you need. Tropical silk wedding flowers can be found all year round and in all climates. Which is lucky for me since I live in a very decidedly un-tropical place like MInnesota.

Roses are Red...

, ,

Roses that are red might make you think of Valentine’s Day, but they don’t have to! This bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers is a great example of how to keep it looking like a Hallmark holiday bouquet.

Corey sent me photos of his wife’s gorgeous bouquet he wanted to order to celebrate their fall anniversary. This bouquet included red garden and spray Roses, burgundy Dahlias, burgundy Ranunculus, ivory Ranunculus, white Waxflower, deep purple Scabiosa, Fern and Smilax.

Perhaps if the original bouquet had only included true red and white flowers, this bouquet would lack some depth and interest and make us think either Christmas or Valentine’s Day. Instead, the original florist incorporated some beautiful jewel tones, a variety of shades of red and burgundy and some lovely greenery to make this gorgeous bouquet.

“I got a replica of my wife’s bouquet for our anniversary. Erin was amazing creating the bouquet and nailing the price and quick turn around time I had. It looks identical! Would definitely use her again and recommend to anyone!”

Turning a Bridal Bouquet into a Display Arrangement in Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Sometimes recreating a bridal bouquet exactly as it was isn’t what the customer is looking for. Whether it’s the shape or size of the bouquet, sometimes a change is a great option for displaying this permanently in your home. That’s what Jacob was looking for in a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers. He sent me a couple photos of his wife’s bouquet and said that since the original had been quite large, he was looking to reduce the overall size to make it a nice display size for their home.

The original bouquet consisted of ivory Roses, Shasta Daisies, Baby’s Breath, Bells of Ireland and Greens with a sheer wrap and bow.

Custom Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation Review

Sometimes there is no better way to tell you about why a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers is an amazing gift than for me to just shut my mouth. So without further ado:

“Working with Erin was fantastic. I contacted her for a recreation of my wife’s wedding bouquet for our first anniversary, and she wrote right back today. I sent her some pictures showing different angles and she totally nailed it. She was always very responsive and sent me pictures throughout the process so I could watch the bouquet come together and offer input. I couldn’t believe how quickly she finished the product, and when it arrived at my parents house (didn’t want to spoil the surprise!) I couldn’t wait to see it. I was blown away as were they at the accuracy of the finished bouquet. Erin did a great job. ”
