Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation with Peacock Feathers

, ,

It’s been a while since I featured a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers, so let’s do this! Justin contacted me about recreating his wife’s vibrant bouquet for their upcoming anniversary. It consisted of Galaxy Orchids, orange/yellow Calla Lilies, red Roses, purple Statice, Pittosporum and Peacock Feathers. Let’s take a look at the comparison of the recreation to the original bouquet.

Silk Wedding Flowers for a Destination Wedding

, , ,

It’s been hot here in Minneapolis, so a tropical destination wedding seemed like a fitting blog post for this week! I don’t often get to do tropical themed wedding flowers, but this year I’ve done several. While most brides aren’t looking for over-the-top tropical themes, they do gravitate towards the bright colors and rich greenery that is often the backdrop for their wedding days. This is a great example of a hybrid silk bridal bouquet that incorporates some classic wedding flowers and colors along with brighter pops of color and that tropical foliage that is instantly recognizable and decidedly NOT Minnesotan greenery.

This bridal bouquet was a mix of pinks and whites, per the bride’s request. I used a variety of Peonies and Ranunculus, a few mauve Roses and some smaller seeds and Cosmos. The Palm branches and mini Monstera added some texture and shape to the bouquet so that it would look good in any environment, but especially a beach ceremony.

The bridesmaid bouquet was sized down and more round shaped than the bridal which was more of a modified cascade style. Both were wrapped in satin ribbon in the color Rosewater.

When Peonies are a main flower in the bouquets, I like to use Ranunculus for the boutonnieres and corsages. They have a similar shape and look as Peonies, but a much more appropriate size for being on a lapel or wrist.

The boutonnieres were custom matched to what the groom, groomsman, and ring bearers would be wearing. And since the ringbearers were her little boys, we had them coordinate with the groom’s boutonniere too. I added just a touch of greenery in the boutonnieres to that it all matched, in a sort of non-matchy way. The pin on style corsages were a mix of white and pink Peonies and greenery with a small spray of rhinestones for a little shine.

Combining Inspiration Photos for the Perfect Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet

, , ,

I’m not going to let my head get too big here, but it’s pretty fun when I ask for inspiration photos and brides send me photos of my own work. In this case, the bride sent me photos of Haley’s champagne, ivory and gray silk wedding flowers and another more intricate bridal bouquet (recreation) and asked me to combine the two styles and designs into one romantic look. Challenge accepted!

This modified cascade style bridal bouquet incorporated a similar color scheme as the first bouquet with some of the same flowers and berries and some of the daintiness and smaller elements of the second bouquet.

The bouquet was made with blush centered Cabbage Roses, ivory Garden Roses, gray Berries, blush pink Calla Lilies, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, blush Heather, Lamb’s Ear and some mixed greens tucked in. The ever popular Antique White ribbon finished off this classy bouquet with partially wrapped stems.

The groom’s boutonniere was a nice complement to the bridal bouquet with a single Calla Lily, blush Heather, gray berries, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

Though this was for a small wedding, she also wanted some cake flowers for her two tier cake. I designed three different flower clusters that would give her baker some flexibility in placement.

Whether your wedding is big or small, silk wedding flowers allow flexibility, are budget friendly and they are just so darn pretty! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote for your custom silk wedding flowers.

Navy, Burgundy and Bling Winter Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

, , ,

Over the last 18 months, I’ve worked with a record number of moms and sisters to design and create the perfect wedding flower bouquets for their daughter/sister. I love that picking out flowers has become a family event for so many! Tori’s silk flowers were a great example of the design process being completed second-hand, so to speak. Her mom, Tracey, was a great communicator and was quick to pass along Tori’s feedback of my design ideas and ultimately of the silk wedding flower arrangements themselves. Let’s take a look at what we designed together!

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style. At first glance you may be thinking, that’s clearly the tear drop style. And you are right! Sort of;) I designed this bouquet to look good from any angle so that if she wanted to hold it straight on, it would be a tear drop cascade. Or if she wanted to show off the rhinestone wrap on the handle, it could be held so that the cascade went to the side.

The design for her bouquet included deep hues of burgundy, navy, white and silver. I wanted to incorporate various textures for this winter wedding, keeping it soft, but interesting. I used burgundy Cabbage Roses, Calla Lilies, Amaranthus and Lamb’s Ear, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath along with gray Dusty Miller and dusty green Seeded Eucalyptus for her greenery. Tracey thought Tori would like some bling, so I sprinkled both small broaches and clear crystals throughout her bouquet.

The bridesmaids carried matching bouquets with the same mix of flowers, but in loose handtied style round bouquets. I even add just a * touch * of cascading Amaranthus to theirs to give it a little something different than a typical round style bridesmaid bouquet.

Check back later this week to see the reveal of Tori’s flowers!

Lavender, Eggplant, Blush and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers and Centerpieces

, ,

January weddings are usually full of blues, whites, silvers and greens. But Mara’s colors were white, lavender, blush and navy. What we ended up with was a mix of plum, lavender, blush, pink and white with some softer greenery so that the silk bridal bouquets didn’t get too dark. Mara loved the look of the plum complementing the lavender, so we skipped the navy all together. Sometimes when you think you know what you want, a visual of something just slightly different makes more sense!

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with white Dahlia, Ranunculus and Roses, lavender Roses, a blush Tea Rose, pink Ranunculus, plum Statice, blush Seedum, Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus. The asymmetrical style of the bouquet gave all the flowers a chance to shine while still giving a cascading swoop that we all know and love.

The bridesmaid bouquets had the same mix of flowers but in a round handtied style. I didn’t want their bouquets to get too round, so I had a few flowers sticking out from the bouquet and used the greenery to extend the shape of the bouquet beyond a sphere. It mimics the bridal bouquet pretty well, but without any cascading sections.

Mara’s mom had done all the designing and ordering with me to create custom arrangements. And having just gone through this whole process with her other daughter, she had a good eye for what Mara wanted and what worked for them and their budget. Silk wedding flower centerpieces are a great way to save money, as fresh flower centerpieces can be quite expensive. Here you can see the centerpieces we designed that incorporated many of the same flowers and colors as the bouquets but with bigger impact! Designed to sit on top of vases they had from the last wedding, these arrangements had plenty of fullness and were going to look fantastic floating above their guest tables.

Blush and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers with Custom Dog Collar

, , ,

It’s fun (and flattering) when brides see one of my bouquets and use it as the inspiration photo for their own custom silk wedding flowers. We had talked through a few ideas, but when bride Tammy saw these bouquets, she knew what direction she wanted her designs to go.

Her colors were blush and ivory and she wanted to make sure the flowers didn’t get too pink but rather leaned towards the peach side of blush. I gave a few options, but I ended up experimenting with custom dyeing some flowers and we nailed it on the color. Take a look at the designs we came up with together.

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with blush Cabbage Roses, ivory with blush center Dahlia, ivory Garden Roses, blush Heather and lots of Lamb’s Ear. Soft, romantic-all the things you want in a bridal bouquet!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same flowers in a round handtied style with Antique White ribbon, the same color we used on the bridal bouquet. It’s one of my favorite colors because it goes with everything (including white) and is a classic, clean look that blends in with every style and will never look outdated.

The boutonnieres were a simple mix of ivory Roses and some blush accents with Lamb’s Ear.

This was a first for me: a custom floral dog collar! Her dog is actually much smaller than my dog, Hoover, so I needed to use smaller scale flowers that still looked similar to what was in the bouquet. This wired floral collar is a mix of ivory and peach Ranunculus because they are similar shape to Cabbage Roses. I also included a few bits of blush Heather and some small sprigs of Queen Anne’s Lace to go with the Lamb’s Ear. Cute, right?!

Navy, Purple, and Plum Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

, , , ,

This was a new-to-me color combination, and I was all for it! Plum, purple and navy; moody, deep, complicated, simple, romantic, vibrant, striking…I could keep going, but let’s just get to the pictures. The silk bridal bouquet was a mix of navy and purple Calla Lilies, plum Tea Roses, navy Ranunculus, mini purple Tiger Lilies and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in a modified cascade style.

We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets with just some plum Tea Roses, navy and purple Calla Lilies and just a touch of Eucalyptus.

The toss bouquet usually reflects the bridal bouquet in some way. This clutch style bouquet had the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, including the mini purple Tiger Lilies and navy Ranunculus. We added a little to it with some satin ribbon tails in navy.

The boutonnieres had a classic look with a single Calla and greens and a Ranunculus bud for the groom’s boutonniere.

These hair pieces were added a little later. The larger piece was for the bride and incorporated all her colors. The smaller style was for the bridesmaids and just had a hint of plum with the greenery.

And let’s not forget the flower girl! This cute flower crown was a base of baby’s breath with some plum flower blossoms for a dainty, but matching look.

*Actual* Valentine's Day Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

Earlier this week, I gave one example of Valentine’s Day silk wedding flowers. Today is another example with a similar color palette but a completely different style. Enjoy!

This round ball bridal bouquet was a mix of magenta Garden and Cabbage Roses and Calla Lilies, white Garden Roses and Peonies, dusty pink Mums, and few stems of Dendrobium Orchids. She wanted some pearls added in so I put together clusters of 3-5 larger scale pearls and placed them throughout the bouquet. Their accent color was silver, so that’s the color we went with on the handle of the bouquets.

She chose a mini bouquet for the flower girl and I used the same mix as the bridal bouquet, just much smaller.

This next photo shows a few of the “extras” she ordered. There were two cake clusters for her one layer wedding Cheesecake (yum!). These were designed to be different and could go on two opposite corners, one on top, one around the edge or wherever she wanted them to go. The bottom arrangement was a swag for her unity candle table. The great thing about this piece is that is can easily be picked up after the ceremony and used somewhere in the reception area; the food, gift, guestbook, or head table would all be great places for this matching custom silk wedding flower arrangement to decorate.

We kept the boutonnieres and corsages simple with white Roses and magenta accents with Lamb’s Ear for the boutonnieres and a fluffier white Ranunculus for the corsages. You’ll notice the differences are ever so slight between the boutonnieres, but they are enough to be able differentiate between the groom, groomsmen and father bouts. This bride wanted the mothers to have an option of pin or wrist corsage so she ordered one of each! I added a small spray of pearls for accent to match the bridal bouquet for a nice touch of shine.

*Almost* Valentine's Day Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

You might think it’s weird to be talking about Valentine’s Day in May, but there’s Christmas in July, so why not? This week, I want to share with you two different sets of silk weddings flowers and bridal bouquets. Today, I’m sharing a wedding that was almost on Valentine’s Day (the 13th) and, a little later this week, one that was actually on Valentine’s Day. Both were pretty, both were unique, both incorporated those classic colors without being cliche’.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of Anemone, Cabbage Roses, Mums, Roses, Amaranthus, Queen Anne’s Lace, with some dusty greenery and Seeded Eucalyptus. This bouquet is a great example if you aren’t sure if you want a traditional tear drop cascade or a modified cascade. This one probably lands right between the two, though I don’t plan to make a third category of cascades. It has the element of a teardrop with a more defined linear shape, but not the tight composition that traditional teardrops usually have. But on the other hand, it doesn’t have quite the asymmetrical, branchier feel that a true modified cascade has. Perhaps this is the happy medium!

The matching groom’s boutonniere was a smaller Cabbage Rose in burgundy with a tiny bit of the blush accent and some dusty greenery. You can see that the stem was wrapped in burlap which matched the bridal bouquet. A cute complement!

Check back later this week to see another way to do Valentine’s Day wedding flowers that stay on theme, without being on theme if you know what I mean;)

Blue, White and Rosegold Silk Wedding Flowers with Pergola Arrangement

, , ,

Rachelle and I worked to come up with the perfect design for her 2021 winter wedding they were hosting in their beautiful Arizona backyard….record scratch…”Wait, winter 2021?! That hasn’t even happened yet Erin!” Here’s the skinny, Rachelle emailed me a few weeks after finalizing her design plan with some circumstances that expedited our timeline. So instead of a December wedding, we were now planning for an April wedding! But you know what, I didn’t even break out into one drop of sweat. I had the silk wedding flowers, and I was ready to go!

This intimate backyard wedding would be small, but Rachelle still wanted beautiful arrangements for their loved ones and for the amazing Pergola that would be the location of where they were going to exchange their vows. Take a look at her custom arrangements that feature blue, white, and rosegold in the designs!

The bridal bouquet was a combination of white Roses, white and blue Picasso Calla Lilies, navy Peonies, Dusty Miller, and some glittery rosegold twigs.

The Maid of Honor silk bouquet featured the same flowers, but a single navy Peony to bring the size down. I tied both bouquets off with a shimmery, sheer Champagne ribbon that looked amazing with the rosegold twigs.

Rachelle ordered just a few boutonnieres and corsages for the bridal party and parents. Everything matching in colors, flowers, and ribbon.

Remember that pergola I mentioned in the intro? Take a look at the show stopping altar arrangement pieces we designed together to go on the top corner and the opposite upright beam of the pergola. These swags incorporated all the same flowers on a base of mixed greens and Eucalyptus.

I know you didn’t ask for the moral of the story, but here it is: life throws you curve balls and silk flowers keep you in the batters box! And if sportsball isn’t your type of metaphor: if a major/minor life change results in wedding plans that have to change, don’t spend one minute worrying about whether you can still get the custom silk wedding flowers of your dreams, because the answer is YES!

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.

Spring Colors in Wildflower Silk Bridal Bouquet

,

I’m excited to share with you a truly custom silk bridal bouquet! Generally when bride’s reach out to me, they have a good idea of what they would like based on a few inspiration photos. From there, we talk about what aspects they love, what colors they want to include and they usually do some combining of those ideas and photos to customize the bouquets. In Sara’s case, she sent me some photos but also said that she was “open to suggestion.” I decided to take a risk and come up with a design from scratch. I knew that she wanted a wildflower look with pops of orange, blue, purple, yellow and some greenery. I gathered up some sample stems I had on hand and sent a photo to get her thoughts. And then I held my breath, and…

…

…

She loved it all!

Take a look at this one of a kind bouquet that is cheery, sophisticated, textured, and a perfect fit to Sara’s laidback and creative personality!

There’s a lot to see in just this single bouquet:

  • Yellow Garden Roses

  • Peach Ranunculus

  • Purple Scabiosa

  • Blue Thistle

  • Coral Daisies

  • Coral Ranunculus

  • Purple Lilac

  • Blue Sweet Pea

  • Purple and Blue Galaxy Orchids

  • Small Leafed Greenery

It’s just so pretty that I couldn’t pick just one or two photos!

Sara gave me the same freedom with the boutonnieres and these were super fun. I used the same mix of flowers and colors but varied the mix and greenery to give each guy a custom look.

I’d never ask anyone to take a gamble on their wedding flowers, but there’s no rule about sticking to a specific look or color scheme. If you have an unexpected color palette, or love the idea of wedding flowers that have never been done before, send me your ideas and let’s create something truly special together!

Succulents and Sunflowers in Silk Wedding Flowers

, , , ,

If sunflowers are your main squeeze, here’s another look for your wedding day! You may recognize this style from the original elopement bouquet I made for Katrina. It’s been one of my most popular bridal bouquets to date! You can see with these wedding flowers, we added on to the custom arrangements and included some cake flowers and some boutonnieres featuring the ever-popular succulents!

This cascading style bridal bouquet is on the verge of being a modified cascade. You can see the outline of the tear drop shape of a traditional cascading bouquet. But all that lush greenery give it’s a looser, more organic shape that works so well with the sunflowers.

We simplified the look for the bridesmaid bouquet to fit a loose round handtied style with just a single larger succulent, and few Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath and more of that lovely greenery.

Each of the boutonnieres was a different mini-Succulent with a bit of Baby’s Breath and Ecualyptus with matching Antique White Ribbon.

She wanted something really simple for her cake, so I used mini Sunflowers, Baby’s Breath and Eucalyptus for a cohesive look.

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flower Mega Roundup

, , , ,

Now that it’s March here in Minnesota, I decided that sharing some bright colors in custom silk wedding bouquets would be a fun change up on the blog. It seemed like a great time to share some Bridal Bouquet Recreations in Silk Flowers simply because you get to see a variety of shapes, flowers, styles and colors all in one place. For each of these custom orders, I was sent at least one photograph and asked to recreate a bridal bouquet for someone special. Scroll through and take a look!

Round handtied bouquet with Hydrangea, Iris, Mums, Delphinium, Stock, Eucalyptus, Seeds and Peacock Feathers.

Round handtied bouquet with Red and White Roses, Waxflower, Ivy, Smilax, and Fern.

Round handtied bouquet with Red Roses, Phalaenopsis Orchids, and Cattleya Orchids.

This was actually a recreation of an arrangement given to someone at the funeral of a loved one. He ordered this as a gift for his wife. It is a table top arrangement of Roses, Lilies, Hydrangea, Delphinium, Eucalyptus and Fern.

Modified cascade style with Succulents, Roses, Ranunculus, Pampas Grass, Heather, and several varieties of Eucalyptus.

Round style bouquet with lots of Peonies and Ranunculus, Sweet Pea, Pittosporum, Lamb’s Ear and Heather.

Burgundy, Blush, and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

It’s still March, and I’m still getting a ton of requests for Burgundy themed custom wedding flowers. Here’s another great example of incorporating Burgundy into silk wedding flowers. This color combo of dusty blue, blush pink, sage green and burgundy is a great example of using burgundy without making the arrangements all dark and moody. These feel light and bright, and that pop of jewel tone adds a nice surprise to these bouquets.

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with blush pink Roses, burgundy Dahlia, ivory Spray Roses, dusty blue Thistle, blush pink Seeds and two kinds of Eucalyptus.

The Maid of Honor bouquet was pared down to have a single burgundy Dahlia, blush Roses, dusty blue Thistle and Eucalyptus. The bridesmaid bouquets (see below) were all the same, but without the burgundy Dahlia. These designs kept everything feeling sames-ies but let the bridal bouquet stand out a little from the rest.

Here’s the cute little toss bouquet that was a mini version of the bridal bouquet.

The boutonnieres and corsages used the same flowers as the bouquets.

If you are worried about a little bit of burgundy making your bouquets too dark, contact me today to talk about design ideas!

Galaxy Orchids and Picasso Calla Lilies Featured in Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

If you live in the Midwest then you know how quickly the weather changes. Why shouldn’t my blog reflect that? Last week, I showed you a gorgeous set of winter wedding flowers, and today, I give you spring colors. Gotta keep you guessing! Tiana’s gorgeous custom flowers were for her small wedding. But don’t be fooled, this small wedding was big on impact!

These custom silk wedding flowers were designed hand in hand with me and the bride for a truly custom look. She knew she wanted Galaxy Orchids and Picasso Calla Lilies with a hint of yellow mixed in. Here bridal bouquet was a traditional tear drop cascade that was bursting with color and variety. It included the Callas and Orchids along with lavender and white Roses, Baby’s Breath, yellow Forsythia, purple Heather Fern and Lamb’s Ear. She also wanted some bling, so I added in some larger scale rhinestones throughout to give it some shine.

The toss bouquet was much smaller but still contained all the same elements in a round handtied style bouquet.

We used all the colors to fill out both the boutonnieres and corsages.

This custom altar arrangement was a garland with Lamb’s Ear as the base, ivory and lavender Roses, lavender Heather, Picasso Calla Lilies, Galaxy Orchids, Forsythia and Fern and was almost 6’ long. This would grace a table at the front of their venue. An arrangement like this is so versatile because you can have someone move it to the reception site after the ceremony is done. Lay it on your head table, along the gift table, around the cake, or even down the center of a banquet style table.

If you’ve got spring colors on the brain, contact me today to talk about some bright and happy options for your upcoming wedding day!

Winter Wonderland Blush Pink Silk Wedding Flowers

, , , ,

Earlier this week I showed you a white and green color palette that was so very romantic, but today I’m upping the romance ante’. I introduce you to Mike the wonder-husband! Mike was ordering the flowers as a surprise for his bride-to-be. He had a few inspiration photos but let me me make some creative suggestions as we worked together to come up with a truly custom look for January wedding.

This magnificent bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with tons of Dusty Miller, ivory Roses, blush pink Billy Buttons, blush pink Berries and a few large focal point flowers of “snow” covered Dahlia in blush pink. This bouquet was so dreamy, and so not your typical winter wedding bouquet. We left out the green and red and even the evergreen branches typical of this season.

Mike ordered two pin on corsages for his fiancee’s daughters to wear and went simple for his groom’s boutonniere with an ivory Rose, Berries, and Dusty Miller.

They planned to have a small reception at a restaurant in downtown Minneapolis and he wanted a custom centerpiece for each table. Rather than a solid vase, Mike had the great idea to do clear vases with fake snow in them. It was a charming way to embrace the time of year here in the Twin Cities.

These round handtied bouquets of white Cabbage and Garden Roses, white Spray Roses, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus are just so lovely!
