White Silk Wedding Flowers with Greenery- Part 2 Larger Scale Blooms

, ,

Earlier this week, I showed you some white silk wedding flowers with greenery that had a delicate, almost lacy look. Today is about impact and contrast! These weddings flowers and bridal bouquet used larger scale blooms to fill out the bouquets. The added greenery really stood out against all the white for an eye-catching look!

The bridal bouquet was a round ball style bouquet with white Roses and Tulips and a mix of Columnea Fern, Ficus and Rose Greens.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. All bouquets were wrapped with white satin ribbon.

The toss bouquet was a clutch size version of the bridal bouquet with just a few roses and tulips with a touch of greenery.

The boutonnieres were very clean and classy white tulips and spray roses with the same greenery and ribbon.

White Silk Wedding Flowers with Greenery- Part 1 Delicate Blooms

, ,

This week, I want to feature a couple of weddings where the main event was white wedding flowers and greenery. Today, we’re going the delicate route! This bride knew she wanted a mix of Baby’s Breath, Lily of the Valley and Greenery. I suggested we add in a few Stephanotis to mix up the sizing of flowers but still keeping it smaller scaled. She liked my greenery suggestions of Olive greens, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. Here’s the silk bridal bouquet:

For the bridesmaid bouquets, she wanted to reduce the size, and composition. They were made up of Baby’s Breath, Stephanotis and just a few leaves of greenery.

The toss bouquet was a smaller version of the bridal bouquet with some ribbon tails. The boutonnieres and corsages incorporated all our pretty little buds in different combinations. We did add a spray rose to the mother’s pin on corsages to make them a little more substantial.

Check back later this week to see another example of white silk wedding flowers with greenery!

Destination Wedding- Tropical Silk Bouquet in Soft Tones

, , ,

I’ve done a few tropical weddings with silk flowers that have been more out of the box (remember Candace?) and I gotta say, I love doing it! This bridal bouquet needed to be soft, romantic, textural, but appropriate for a destination beach wedding. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Her bouquet was a mix of peonies in ivory, Scabiosa pods, green Amaranthus, fern, ivory Spray Roses, white mini Fern, grasses, blush seeds, Orchid buds, twigs and finished off with Chardonnay satin ribbon. This modified cascade style bouquet is a more modern take on a tropical bouquet but with all the interest that comes along with traditionally tropical flowers. Sure, we don’t have the fuchsia orchids or big leafy greens, but this bouquet certainly belongs on the beach!

, ,

Here are some images Paige sent me from her wedding day with her silk bridal bouquet! A huge thank you to our stunning bride and her photographers over at the The Pros.

“Erin was so easy to work with while planning my wedding! She was so professional, kind, and responsive to both me and my wedding coordinator. She worked with us sending pictures and making changes/applying feedback that we gave her to ensure she was able to create the flowers that I had envisioned for my special day. We reached out to Erin just a few months before my wedding day and she had everything (bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, cake flowers, and welcome sign flowers) at my doorstep a month before my wedding day. I strongly recommend Love is Blooming, you won’t be disappointed!”

Royal Purple, Wisteria and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, , ,

I’ve been talking about purple flowers for quite a few years. Mainly, how there are so many shades! This wedding is a great example of incorporating multiple shades of purples in the same silk bridal bouquet!

Paige’s wedding theme was a royal purple, plum and hints of Wisteria. I showed her a variety of options of flowers and colors and we narrowed it down to royal purple Roses, Wisteria Ranunculus, Picasso Calla Lilies, White Roses, and purple Hydrangea. The bridal bouquet was a more traditional tear drop shape with royal purple ribbon to match the groom’s suit.

This bridesmaids carried round style bouquets with a mix of the same flowers. The maid of honor had a few more flowers in her bouquet and had a wisteria ribbon wrap to stand out a little.

Paige also needed a few extra arrangements to complete her wedding decor including a toss bouquet. This clutch style bouquet incorporated the same flowers and we added some ribbon tails.

The cake flowers were three clusters of royal purple roses, and purple Hydrangea. Simple, but classy!

Paige had a custom welcome sign for the entrance to their venue that she wanted a small swag for. She sent me an inspiration photo and I created a custom piece that matched the bouquets, but would sit nicely on the corner of the sign.

Check back in a few days to see the reveal of Paige’s wedding day and her review of working with me!

Black, White and Blush Silk Wedding Flower- Part 2 Reveal & Review!

, ,

It’s reveal day! And you know what that means… My amateur photos from earlier this week are put to shame. But also that the flowers get to shine! Take a look at these amazing photos of the custom silk wedding flowers from Markina B Photography. If you are in the Twin Cities area check her out!

“Erin at Love Is Blooming was wonderful and our silk flowers were perfect! We contacted this vendor just a month before our wedding, and Erin turned around our order exceptionally quickly, exceeding our expectations. Erin was professional, prompt in her communication, and went above and beyond in providing flower and accent recommendations to align with our color scheme. Our flowers were gorgeous and held up incredibly well through the long day. The pricing was very reasonable and we actually saved money by choosing this option compared with the quotes we received from traditional florists. We highly recommend Love Is Blooming!”
— Angela | Minnesota

I love this photo-they look so happy!

Black, White and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

, ,

Angela was the sweetest bride to work with! She knew her color scheme and had a few flower suggestions, but she really let me make some creative suggestions and gave me the freedom in designing her bridal bouquet. Her custom silk wedding flowers and bouquets were so soft and romantic and dreamy and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Angela’s loose round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of blush pink Peonies, garden Roses, dusty blush pink Anemone, Skimmia berries, white seeds and some mixed greenery. Black can be a touch color to incorporate in the bouquets themselves, so I was excited that she liked my suggestions to bring that into the bouquets with the Skimmia and the Anemone.

The bridesmaid bouquets had a similar composition to the bridal bouquet, only smaller.

The boutonnieres and corsages used a mix of the flowers, colors and greenery for simple, but classically styled personal flowers.

Last is the cake topper! This cutie could be viewed from any side and feature some of the same flowers as the other arrangements, but in a small cluster for the top layer of her cake.

I’m excited to show you photos of this sweet client and her beautiful wedding day later this week. Check back in a few days to see the reveal and hear what Angela had to say about designing and ordering her custom silk wedding flowers.

Moody Winter Wedding Colors in Silk Flowers

, ,

Winter can be a bright, shiny, time of year. But if that’s not the vibe you want in your silk wedding flowers for your bridal bouquet, then this post is for you! These moody winter wedding colors of navy, burgundy, gray and white were a fun mix for a January wedding. Just a hint of greenery kept it from being completely dark and jewel-toned, but we kept it minimal in order to provide just a touch of contrast.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of navy Peonies, burgundy berries and Calla Lilies, white Roses, gray Dusty Miller and Eucalyptus in a classic tear drop cascade style.

The bridesmaid and toss bouquets were mix of all the same flowers, but in a round handtied style. SIlver ribbon finished off all the arrangements to tie in more of her color scheme.

Sunflower Yellow and Navy Blue Silk Wedding Flowers with Altar Arrangements

, , ,

I’m convinced that sunflowers, along with roses will always be classic wedding flowers. And there might not be a better complementary color than navy with the deep gold hues of the Sunflowers. These silk wedding flowers are a great example of that color combination. Take a look!

This classic, round style bridal bouquet consisted of white Roses, Sunflowers, navy Ranunculus and white Baby’s Breath.

We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to be white Hydrangea and Sunflowers so that the bridal bouquet stood out even more. If you are looking for a way to make the bridal bouquet different, but are worried about it not “matching,” this is a great example of how to make all the arrangements work together but different.

The toss bouquet was a mini version of the bridal bouquet with some fun ribbon tails added.

For altar arrangements, I created two mirror-image pieces to hang on her arch. It was mostly greenery for impact, with a few flowers to bring in their color scheme.

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-sunflowers-altar-arrangements

The reception venue included a fireplace that they wanted a custom piece to decorate the mantel. I created this garland of white Hydrangea, navy Peonies, white Roses, Sunflowers and mixed greenery.

If you need decor for all aspects of your wedding day, and want a cohesive look, silk flowers are a great option. You get to help design the arrangements, see them in progress and have them ahead of schedule. If that appeals to you, contact me today about your wedding needs!

Lavender, White and Silver Silk Wedding Flowers with Bling

, , ,

If you are looking for some silk wedding flowers and bouquets with a touch of bling, these are the photos for you! Emily’s color palette of lavender, white and silver were easy enough to work with, but I wanted to add a little extra ‘Oomph’ to her arrangements with some bling. Rather than just a few rhinestones here and there, I wanted it to be a statement. Take a look at what we designed together!

The bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender Roses, white Tulips, Baby’s Breath, and a little brighter lavender Spray Roses.

To give it a little more dimension, I add in some glittery, blingy branches to add texture, height and take it to the next level!

The bridesmaid bouquet was the same mix of flowers, but smaller and without the bling.

“I am extremely happy with the way my flowers turned out. When I was looking for flowers for my wedding, I was having trouble finding some that I like because I can be pretty picky. I am also a college student, so I don’t have a lot of money to spend on my wedding. I’m so glad I found this company! Not only were the prices fair, bur she also worked very closely with me to help me customize my flowers. I’m legally blind, so details can be a little hard for me to work with. I trusted her completely to put together a beautiful arrangement using my colors, and I am very happy with how they turned out. The communication was amazing as well. Not only did I receive pictures throughout the process, but also received quick replies when I reached out. When I physically received the flowers in the mail, I was so impressed by the texture. The flowers seemed so real, which is something I really wanted for my bouquet. Additionally, they were packaged very carefully and neatly. I would highly encourage anyone who is looking for beautiful flowers at a fairly cheap price to order from here!”
— Emily | West Virginia

There were two boutonnieres, the groom and groomsman where I incorporated a small piece of the glitter branch in the groom’s to match the bridal bouquet.

Emily also wanted a few clusters of flowers on ribbon loops for her aisle arrangements. These are a great, and cost effective way to tie all your looks together, add a little more to your decor, but not break the budget.

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 2 Reveal!

, , ,

I don’t have much to say about these custom silk wedding flowers, except…ENJOY!

These amazing photos are by the extremely talented Marissa Murdy. Check her out if you need a photographer for your wedding day!

Are these dresses amazing, or what?!

The photo below is a great example of why taking scale into account is hugely important. The custom altar arrangement and garlands I had created and modeled on my mantel at home seemed oversized and monstrous. But on this beautiful mantel on a much larger fireplace, it couldn’t have been any smaller! The grandeur of the fireplace and chandelier, the interesting texture of the stone and baskets and the size of the arrangements blended perfectly for a stunning and interesting altar!

Thanks again to Peyton for trusting me to create custom silk wedding arrangements for their big day! If you are interested in a mantel piece, bridal bouquet or whatever you can think of, contact me today!

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

Feel free to scroll down to see the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages because they are pretty great. But, please, take a minute and feast your eyes on this altar arrangement! This might be the biggest, baddest silk wedding flower arrangement I’ve ever done. It was almost 4 feet wide and over 2 feet tall, plus the custom garlands for both sides. This mix of burgundy Dahlia and Peonies, blush Roses and Peonies, white Dogwood and Roses, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus was designing specifically for a fireplace mantel. And since I happen to have my very own fireplace mantel, I had the perfect place to model it!

So maybe you don’t have the need for a larger-than-life custom altar arrangement, but you are interested in custom silk wedding flowers and bouquets. These next photos should do the trick.

Peyton’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with most of the flowers you see above in a soft, romantic look.

The bridesmaid bouquets had just a hint of blush and burgundy in a round handtied style.

custom-silk-bridal-bouquet-wedding-flower-arrangements-boutonnieres-corsages

The boutonnieres and corsages were a variety of burgundy, blush, white and greenery. You can see below that all your personal flowers come labeled, making it super easy for whomever is doing the distribution to get them pinned to the correct person.

Tropical Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation & Review

, , , ,

Rounding out the end of Recreation Week is this stunner of a bouquet from a Mexico destination wedding. One of the great things about going somewhere is you get the benefit of all the special things of that location. In this case, this luscious tropical bouquet. What you give up is not being able to bring back your flowers to preserve. Kelsey’s bouquet had to be left behind, so she contacted me just a few days after getting home from her wedding to ask about having her bouquet recreated in silk wedding flowers. Take a look at the end product!

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

These AMAZING photos of Kelsey (who is even more stunning than her bouquet!) were taken by Mckay Moran of The Cloud Nine Co. Get in touch if you need an amazing photographer for your wedding day!

Kelsey’s bouquet was a mix of a giant King Protea, Roses and Baby’s Breath in white with a collar of Monstera, Palm and Banana greenery. This bouquet was not only beautiful but big. Just scroll back up to see it in Kelsey’s hands!

“I got the bouquet!! It looks absolutely beautiful it’s so close to my real one I had the day of and brings back such good memories I can cherish forever ! Thank you so much I love it !”

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation Review

, ,

To continue our reveal week of custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers, this stunning tear drop cascade was a year in the making! But if you don’t have a year, don’t panic. Typically, all I need is a couple of weeks and a few photos to bring a new custom bridal bouquet recreation to life!

Thanks to some photos from https://studiotwelve52.com/ provided by Wes, I was able to see all the details and flowers included in this gorgeous bouquet. But compare for yourself and let me know how I did!

silk-bridal-bouquet-recreation-custom-wedding-flowers
“There are many positive words I could use to describe Erin’s work. For brevity, though, I will stick with “Incredible”. My spouse has wanted an artificial recreation of their wedding bouquet since the day after our wedding. I figured the coinciding of our 4th anniversary (fruits and flowers) with the pandemic would be the best time to finally commission such a gift. The trouble is the original was a HUGE cascading arrangement with a lot of leafy drapery, and it’s hard to find a florist who can make convincing silk flowers in any kind of cascade arrangement without it looking, well... fake. Erin was happy to take on a challenge, and I could not believe the result of her efforts when I saw them. You could take this bouquet, photoshop it into my wedding pictures, and nobody would notice. I am beyond pleased and beyond impressed. Her services are efficient, communicative, and would be worth every penny at double or even triple the price, and I mean that quite seriously. Shipping was no problem, and the commission was finished ahead of schedule (though I ordered during the pandemic so I would not expect early completions in the future. You can’t rush ART). She was even willing to work out a payment schedule so that I could keep the order a surprise even with shared bank accounts. I intend to use and recommend Love is Blooming to everyone in need of silk flowers regardless of location.”

Lavender, White and Navy Bridal Bouquet Recreation

, ,

Fifty percent of the time I’m working with husbands looking to surprise their wives for an upcoming anniversary or birthday. The other 50% of the time I’m working with the bride! When I started doing recreations, I never considered that brides would think of treating themselves to a recreation, but I love that they do! Landri contacted me about recreating her gorgeous lavender, white and navy bridal bouquet in custom silk flowers. We emailed back and forth and worked closely to get it just right. Landri even custom ordered the lavender Stock that she found and had them shipped to me to include in her bouquet. This was a group project in which all participants contributed;)

bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers-lavender-white-navy

The original bouquet, photographed by Photo by Emilie, was a lush mix of Roses, Ranunculus, Stock, Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Succulents.

Landri also decided to have the groom’s boutonniere recreated. It was a smaller Succulent, Ranunculus, Lavender, and some Caspia and greens.

“Erin did such an amazing job recreating my bouquet and husband’s boutonnière! They look almost exactly like the original and were very thoughtfully put together! She was very easy to work with and was even willing to incorporate flowers that I had found on my own! She completed them in a very timely manner and even sent me pictures throughout the process to get my input! The bouquet and boutonnière are absolutely beautiful and were exactly what I had imagined! I would definitely recommend Love is Blooming!”

Peach, Pink, Blue and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 2 Reveal & Review

, ,

There is so very little to say about these photos, except be sure and check out Caroline’s amazing photographer Taylor Sakata Photography and figure out how to hire her right now. Also, surround yourself with your closest friends, wear a dress you love, fix your hair up just right, look adoringly at your husband-to-be, and hold my flowers for at least few pictures before emailing them to me. So I’ve said enough, here are Caroline’s custom silk wedding flowers for her spring Georgia wedding.

“When I first started planning my wedding, I began searching Google for silk flower options. I had not heard of anyone who had gone this route, but I loved the idea of being able to keep my wedding bouquet forever. I was a little hesitant to order flowers online from someone in a different state, but I was immediately at ease after my first communication with Erin. She made each step of the process so easy and fun, and I appreciated that she always asked for my feedback and was willing to adjust to make my flowers perfect. They turned out better than I could have imagined! Not only was her pricing very reasonable, she also had my flowers done earlier than expected. It is so nice knowing that this aspect of my wedding planning is taken care of. I would recommend her over any flower shop any day. Erin’s customer service and quality of work are hard to beat.”
— Caroline | Georgia

Peach, Pink, Blue, and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, ,

I love a spring bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers. This one was especially fun to design. Caroline gave me some creative leeway in designing her custom bouquets. She knew she wanted peach, pink, blue, and yellow then let me figure out the rest. I’m excited that later this week, I can share a few of her amazing photos!

The bridal bouquet was a round handtied style that was loose and whimsical. It incorporated peach Cabbage Roses and Poppies, pink Cosmos, blue Heather and yellow Billy Buttons. I suggested some Lamb’s Ear for a soft touch of “greenery” and Caroline was game. You can’t tell from the photos but this bouquet not only looked bouncy and light and fun, but it had some movement to it that made it even more real looking!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a similar mix of flowers, but I switched out the large Poppies for smaller ones to account for the smaller bouquet size.

The boutonnieres and corsages had the same mix of bright colors and interesting textures. Each one a little different from the other, but all matched the theme and color scheme of the bouquets.

Check back later this week to see our beautiful bride Caroline and her beautiful custom silk wedding flowers!

Today’s reveal is a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers from Jolyn. She contacted me about recreating her bouquet. They had tried to preserve it, but after “8 years and 3 moves” it didn’t hold up as well as they’d hoped. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the recreation and Jolyn’s original bouquet.
