Coral and Teal Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

Courtney reached out to me about creating custom silk wedding flowers with a slightly tropical vibe. Her colors were coral and teal and I used some sandier/taupe tones mixed in with white roses and greenery. Let’s take a look at some lovely images from Monica Mize Photography!

Courtney picked out a teardrop cascade shape for her bouquet. We filled it with Roses, Peonies, Ranunculus, mini Orchids, Seeded Eucalyptus and a spiky Succulent. It kind of reminded me of a Sea Anemone and was the perfect mix of mauve/peach for her bouquet!

What a great looking group! Courtney’s bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets that were mostly coral and white with a pop of teal with a large Peony in the center. It kept everything cohesive and looked perfect with their dresses. Courtney also had a maid of honor wearing a dustier pink dress. At first we only had brighter coral flowers mixed in with the white and teal but then decided to add a more muted tone with some Toast Roses and it really helped blend Courtney’s bouquet with both color of bridesmaid dresses.

Courtney wanted all three colors incorporated into the boutonnieres so we used a white rose bud as the base with a few small coral orchids and a touch of teal accent flowers. Everyone matched!

Blush and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

Spring has sprung here in Minnesota, but the requests for burgundy flowers keep coming! So, I thought I’d share another gorgeous set of photos of silk bridal bouquets and wedding flowers sent in by a bride. Photos are by the very talented Jamie Dee!

This modified cascading bridal bouquet in custom silk wedding flowers was a mix of burgundy Dahlia, Roses and Amaranthus, blush pink Roses, white Roses, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

This bridal party looked amazingly classic in black tuxes and bridesmaid dresses. The dresses, especially, allowed those bouquets to really stand out!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of 3 burgundy Roses and a single white Rose with lots of Seeded Eucalyptus in a round handtied style.

Custom Silk Winter Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I hate to talk about winter when spring in Minnesota hasn’t really shown up yet. As I write this, we are on day 4 of rain, snow, and clouds. But, it’s never too early to think about your winter wedding and how you want to incorporate silk wedding flowers into your big day.

Darlena is my hero! She had a February wedding, in Duluth (it gets real cold up there by the way)! She had a vision for her wedding and bridal bouquet, and she made it happen. I was lucky enough to be able to provide the floral accents to her beautiful wedding. Her photographer was a friend and gave permission to share photos from the wedding. Let’s take a look!

Darlena’s bridal bouquet was a mix of white Roses, Carnations, Anemone, Queen Anne’s Lace and Foxtail. The greenery was a mix of Cedar, Olive Greens and Seeded Eucalyptus. And then to add a little something extra there were gold dipped Pinecones. This bouquet was a result of a few inspiration photos Darlena sent and working together to come up with a perfect custom look for her.

I got to make these really fun and classy aisle arrangements that featured big pinecones, roses and carnations and pine and cedar branches. The simple white ribbon finished the look perfectly!

Erin was FANTASTIC to work with! She took what I saw on Pinterest and brought it to life! Definitely worth going to her! Thanks so much Erin!

Rust, Taupe, and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

Remember when I shared Tiara’s wedding flowers with you a few weeks ago? Her wedding flowers prominently featured taupe in her color scheme along with burgundy. Here’s another beautiful wedding that incorporated taupe along with rust, peach, burgundy and ivory in this gorgeous outdoor wedding.

A huge thank you to Lisa Sherwood Photography for these breathtaking photos!

The bridal bouquet was a combination of rust Roses, apricot Roses, peach Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia, taupe Roses and Orchids, sage Fern, Sword and Seeded Eucalyptus. Her bouquet was a full, moody, but lively round handtied style bridal bouquet.

Her altar was picture perfect, so we had just a few custom altar arrangements to complement that beautiful, natural backdrop for their day.

This fall wedding is a great example of another way to “do” fall flowers. We incorporated some of the favorite fall colors (burgundy and orange), but added some surprising elements like lots of texture and taupe flowers. If you are looking for a unique take on a seasonal look, silk wedding flowers might be just your thing! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist to share your ideas with me!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation for a Sister - Reveal and Review

Today’s dose of joy and sweetness is brought to you by Kelly, the kind of sister everyone wants! Kelly contacted me about recreating her sister’s bridal bouquet. It was a striking combination of yellow roses, dark purple Iris, white Baby’s Breath and rhinestones. Here’s how it turned out!

Image by ADA Studio.

Erin was absolutely the best to work with. After I reached out to her about recreating my sisters wedding bouquet, she responded back almost immediately with answers to all my questions. The final product was way better than I ever could have imagined. It was beautiful, solid, and looked exactly like my sisters bouquet, even down to the rhinestones in the flowers and the pearls in the wrap. It was absolutely perfect. Erin kept in contact with me throughout the whole thing with pictures and tracking info when it was sent. I was amazed with how fast she made it and sent it. The flowers came in perfectly intact and unsquished. I am so glad I found her and I absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs flowers for a wedding or a recreation done. I am so beyond happy with how it came out. Thank you so much Erin!

Custom Green and White Silk Hand-Tied Bridal Bouquet - Reveal

There is nothing more classic than white wedding flowers with greenery. Colors come and go in popularity, but I probably do just as many white wedding arrangements every year as I do ones with color. Sarah’s custom silk wedding flowers were simple, but so pretty. It allowed all the dresses to shine as well as their beautiful outdoor location! Today, I get to share some beautiful images from HL Photo. Check them out on Instagram (@hl.photo1 on Instagram) or Facebook (HL PHOTO).

Sarah’s beautiful round handtied bridal bouquet was a mix of white Peonies, white Sophia Roses, white seeds, Heart Eucalyptus, gray standard Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

She chose the clutch style bridesmaid bouquets. Despite there only being one flower featured, you can see that there was plenty of fullness with the mix of greenery.

Interested in seeing other weddings where green and white were the colors? Check these out:

-Featuring Delicate Blooms

-With Larger Blooms

-A Recreation in Green and White

-Ivory and White Silk Wedding Flowers

Such a beautiful location and I feel so lucky to have designed custom silk wedding flower arrangements that got to be a part of it.

One of the things I advise to any bride is to incorporate the bouquets into your reception decor and this is a perfect example of that. Sarah bought simple vases and was able to use the bridesmaid bouquets for additional decor on their desert table.

Burgundy and Taupe Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

One of the up and coming hot colors is a surprising choice - it’s taupe! It’s a wonderfully warm neutral that goes with a variety of accent colors and adds an unexpected richness to wedding decor. Today, I get to share with you a great example of incorporating taupe into wedding flowers. Tiara had an awesome vision for her custom silk wedding flowers that included texture, neutrals and burgundy. I showed her a variety of options, and she pretty much said “Yes!” to all of them! Let’s take a look at the magazine-worthy images Tiara sent me from the photographer who captured her day so beautifully: Narvold Photography.

Tiara’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of taupe and coffee colored Roses, burgundy Roses, Peonies and Calla Lilies, Cynara pods, Thistle, burgundy Amaranthus, sage Fern, mauve Queen Anne’s Lace seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus and beige Heather. It was a STUNNER!

Erin is absolutely fantastic to work with and she created the most beautiful bouquets for my wedding. After sending her a few photos and ideas she was able to visualize and create exactly what I was looking for and more! I highly recommend!
— Tiara | Minnesota

The bridesmaids were wearing beautiful burgundy dresses and carried handtied versions of Tiara’s bouquet. I even made mini bouquets for the flower girls.

Thanks again to Tiara for sharing such a special day with me so I could share it with you! If you are looking to incorporate taupe, beige, champagne or another neutral and need help with ideas, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers in the Mountains - Reveal and Review

I am thrilled to be able to share Ally’s beautiful custom silk wedding flowers from her fall wedding near Mt. Hood, Washington. Not only is she stunning, but the backdrop for her wedding is to die for! Take a look at these amazing photos from Terra Lange Photography.

Ally’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of yellow Peonies, burgundy Peonies, orange Dahlia, orange Cosmos, burgundy berries, sage Fern, twigs, Seeded Eucalyptus, Cynara pods and Magnolia greenery. It was textured and lush and full and perfect for an outdoor wedding.

One of the things I loved about working with Ally is that every idea she had was well thought out. Her bridesmaids were wearing these glamorous velvet-y dresses in 3 different jewel tones, and she wanted simple hoop bouquets to complement them. We choose just a few of the flowers and greens for the gold metal hoop bouquets for a modern but classy take on bridesmaid bouquets.

Not to be left out, her flower girls each carried smaller versions of the hoop bouquets

I was looking for flowers that looked real, and would last forever as I wanted to use them in my home after the wedding. I’m so glad I found love is blooming. They came out absolutely beautifully! She helped me pick flowers and greenery based of my limited knowledge and color scheme. She was very easy to work with and responsive and was also very kind and patient with me. The shipping was timely and the finished product was exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely hire again.
— Ally | Washington

Ally used a combination of custom silk wedding altar pieces for her unique round altar and fresh fall flowers and pumpkins. The draped fabric added such texture and softness!

Burgundy and Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Since were past spring wedding orders, I thought I’d set the mood and get you thinking ahead to fall! Elsie’s burgundy and gold silk wedding flowers are such a classic combination. You can’t go wrong with Roses and Sunflowers and when the colors are just so perfectly matched for fall-it’s always going to look amazing! Elsie shared her photos with me, by photographer Photos by Red and I get to share them with you today!

Her round ball style bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses, gold Sunflowers, rhinestones in the Roses and a few clear bead sprays. We also added burlap wrap on the stems, a burlap ruffle around the bottom of the bouquet and a touch of lace and ribbon. Accents like that can set things apart in simple, but elegant ways. The bridesmaids carried round ball style bouquets with the same flowers and stem wrap, but without the rhinestone accents. Scroll to the bottom to see a few detail shots of Elsie’s bouquet.

Erin is absolutely AMAZING!!! I was kinda in a bind because I didn’t want to spend so much on real flowers and I didn’t want to worry about having to make them myself. So one day I was on Google and just happened to come across Love is Blooming and I’m sooooo glad I did! Will definitely recommend to everyone I know who needs flowers!!! Not to mention her prices are so reasonable!!!
— Elsie | Kansas
custom-silk-wedding-flowers-burgundy-gold-roses-sunflowers-bridal-bouquet-boutonnieres-table-arrangements

We kept all the boutonnieres and corsages on theme with burgundy Roses and mini Sunflowers with twine wrapped on the stem. This is a good option to match the texture, but not the bulk, of burlap.

I wanted to include these photos because A) Elsie is beautiful and her lacey dress is amazing and she’s just so happy in this photo and B) some of the details are worth a second look;)

Katie was such a gem to work with and provided me with some lovely photos of her bouquet, taken by the very talented Caitlin Sullivan. Contact Caitlin if you are looking for a photographer in the Indianapolis area. Let’s take a look at Katie’s bouquet!

Recreation Bouquet

Original Bouquet

This stunning white and green bouquet is a mix of Lilies, Roses, Baby’s Breath, Ruscus, Pittosporum and green Hypericum berries. It was a nice full bouquet in a round handtied style.

The bouquet was tied off with a simple white satin ribbon which was an easy detail to add to the recreation.

You did a phenomenal job! I truly love them and have them proudly displayed :)
— Katie | Ohio

My daughter was finishing her senior year of college and really had no idea of flower design other than she wanted fake flowers. I was disappointed she wasn’t going for real ones, but I started researching for her and came across Erin’s site, Love is Blooming. After looking at ideas for color and style, I sent the ideas to my daughter to choose what she liked. Then I contacted Erin and shared with her Hannah’s choices. Erin was very friendly and so easy to work with her. The finished product was so beyond what I had expected, and I was beyond thrilled at the gorgeous results. From the boutonnières to the wrist corsages to the bouquets for the bridal party, every one of them looked real and so very beautiful that I was brought to tears. I highly recommend Erin and her high quality of work You will not be disappointed.

Burgundy, Blush, and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers

Last week, I shared with you Jenna’s wedding flowers, coordinated by her sister Emily. This week, I want to share with you Hannah’s wedding flowers, coordinated by her mother Deborah. I seriously work with the nicest people, and Deborah is right at the top of the list. She provided me with inspiration photos for her bridal bouquet, feedback from Hannah, and coordinated delivery. Deborah was a great communicator and made my job so easy! Let’s take a look at Hannah’s custom silk wedding flowers!

The bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style of burgundy Peonies and Mums, blush Garden and Tea Roses, white Baby’s Breath, preserved burgundy Pine sprigs, green Seeds and Seeded Eucalyptus with burgundy ribbon wrap and blush pink ribbon tails.

My daughter was finishing her senior year of college and really had no idea of flower design other than she wanted fake flowers. I was disappointed she wasn’t going for real ones, but I started researching for her and came across Erin’s site, Love is Blooming.

— Deborah | Indiana

The bridesmaid bouquets were a round handtied style with a different mix of flowers. It included blue Tea Roses, a navy Ranunculus, burgundy Thistle, Blueberries, white Ranunculus, burgundy Roses and Mums, Seeded Eucalyptus, burgundy Preserved Pine, and Lamb’s Ear. I love how the mix of flowers is so different from the bridal bouquet, and yet they go together perfectly!

Deborah decided to add on a few more items later including this cute little toss bouquet. I chose a few of the flowers from the bridal bouquet to mix together for a clutch size toss bouquet.

Wildflower Silk Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

I have had a number of sisters and moms who have worked with me closely to create custom silk wedding flowers for their sister/daughter. Today’s wedding is a great example of that! When I got Emily’s email on behalf of her sister, Jenna, I knew Jenna was in good hands. Emily was so easy to work with and communicated Jenna’s vision very clearly. One of the features of her wedding was to include Buffalo Plaid in her wedding décor for an Oregon Coast wedding. Jenna also had a solid list of flowers and types of greenery to include: red Tulips, yellow Daffodil, blue Forget-Me-Nots, white Lily of the Valley , purple Columbine and yellow and green Aspen leaves. Scroll down to see how these all combined into her beautiful round handtied bridal bouquet!

I can’t thank you enough for taking care of us! You did such a beautiful job. Everyone loved the flowers and I got SO many compliments!
— Jenna | Oregon

The bridesmaids wore these beautiful emerald dresses. We simplified their bouquets to be a mix of Tulips, Daffodils and green Aspen leaves. You can kind of see the buffalo plaid wrap on the handles of their bouquets.

I want to be sure and give credit for these beautiful images to Jennifer Lauren Photography. If you are in her area and need a skilled photographer for your wedding, check out her website for more information!

Winter Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

It was feeling spring like until yesterday, when we woke up to 8” of snow. That was shocking, but made it easier to share this recreation. John contacted me about recreating his wife’s beautiful and wintery bridal bouquet. The original consisted of cream Roses, Cedar, Pine, Spruce, Seeded Eucalyptus, Red Berries and Pittosporum in a handtied round style bouquet. Below you can see a few photographs of the original bouquet from Bobbi Rattai Photography to compare with the recreation. What do you think? Did I nail it?

— John | Florida

Green and White Winter Wedding - Reveal and Review

Today, I get to share bride Melisa’s green and white winter wedding flowers. She lives in my neck of the woods which made it extra fun. I work with brides all over the country, so when I get a local bride, it’s extra special because I get to meet them in person when they pick up their flowers!

(“Wait, I don’t get to see my flowers beforehand?” Fear not, happy bride, you do! I send photos during the production process so you get to see how they are coming along. That way, when you pick them up, or open your box, there are no surprises…of the bad kind anyways.)

Back to Melisa’s flowers! These amazing photos are by the very talented Eric Vest Photography. If you are a Twin Cities resident, check him out for your upcoming wedding!

Here is our beautiful bride Melisa. And brave might I add for taking outdoor photos during a Minnesota winter! Her round handtied bridal bouquet was a mix of Roses, Ranunculus, Dusty Miller and Boxwood greens. It was simple, elegant, and gave winter vibes without being too on-the-nose.

The groom’s boutonniere was a Ranunculus, greens and Dusty Miller.

Erin was super easy to work with. I felt a lot of relief knowing that I’d get to see the flowers along the way, although Erin was amazing at understanding my vision and I didn’t need any revisions! I would highly recommend her, everything turned out better than imagined and pricing was very reasonable!
— Melisa | Minnesota

We kept things cohesive with the bridal party and made smaller versions of the bridal bouquet for the bridesmaids to carry and stuck with a Ranunculus and greens for the groomsmen. Slight differences set apart the bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere, but sometimes that’s all you need!

I love the way Melisa is looking at her new husband!

Melisa’s friend had gotten married at this venue not long before her, so she knew what décor would look good there. She helped me design this 90” long garland for the mantel of the fireplace. It incorporated the same Boxwood greenery along with a mix of white Garden and Spray Roses.

The venue provided simple vases for centerpieces and Melisa had another great idea to do a simple ring of greenery and roses to tie it all together. It was a great way to brighten up the tables without taking anything away from the romantic glow of the candles.

One of the things I always recommend to brides who need to stretch their décor: purchase vases that your bouquets can just drop into and use them at the head table (like Melisa did) or around your reception area. Some other great places to have your bouquets do double duty are the cake table, gift table, cocktail tables, or if you have a smaller amount of guests, use them as your centerpieces!

Thanks again to Eric Vest Photography for his excellent work. If you have a winter wedding but aren’t into some of the more traditional accents, let’s talk about how to make it happen. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Yellow and Blue Silk Wedding Flowers - Review

Caroline’s custom silk wedding flowers in yellow and blue are so classic and bright it felt like a fun thing to share with you in the still snow-y dead of February. With spring around the corner, I thought we could use a little peak at some bright colors.

Her bridal bouquet is a round ball style bouquet with a mix of blue Hydrangea, white and yellow Roses, white Calla Lilies and white Baby’s Breath. You literally can’t go wrong with a bouquet like this!

Erin communicates very clearly throughout the entire order and building process, with pictures of progress. She’s very thoughtful of the bride’s desires. Bouquets and boutonnieres arrived speedily and just as ordered! This perfectly solves my own allergy problem and fragrance sensitivities of some guests!
— Caroline | Texas

I simplified and reduced the overall size of the bridesmaid bouquets, including just blue Hydrangea, a few yellow Roses and white Baby’s Breath. Below, you can see a good example of the difference in size of the bridal bouquet and one of the bridesmaid bouquets.

The boutonnieres and corsages incorporated white for the main flowers with yellow and blue accents. Since there was no greenery in the bouquets, we didn’t add any into these arrangements either. Small details like that may not seem like much, but they keep a cohesive look across the board.

Christmas Gift Bouquet Recreation Review

I know it’s hard to think about Christmas, especially since it’s Valentine’s Day, but maybe you like to plan ahead….call it extreme Christmas shopping! This bouquet recreation was a Christmas gift for Karen’s daughter, and a thoughtful one at that. She sent me a few photos of the bouquet and I got to work!

Kristen’s bouquet was a mix of lavender Roses, cream Roses, Baby’s Breath, lavender Freesia, dark purple Lisianthus, Fern, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and some small accent greenery.

I found Erin on line when looking for someone to reproduce my daughter’s wedding bouquet in silk. She was awesome! She was very responsive and used a collaborative approach to duplicate the exact look of the live floral bouquet. Kristen was thrilled when she opened the Christmas gift holding her silk bouquet. I highly recommend Love is Blooming and Erin!

Dramatic Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

A few weeks ago, I shared Kendra’s lush silk wedding flowers in burgundy and blue. I loved the drama of her silk bridal bouquet! And lucky for us she shared her wedding photos with me so that I could show all of you! Be sure and check out her extremely talented photography, based here in Twin Cities, Laura Calvo Photography.

Here is my stunning bride Kendra! And I guess we can talk about the bouquet too;) This modified cascade style bouquet was overflowing with Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus, Ruscus, Fern, blue Thistle, white Roses, and deep burgundy Dahlias. She had a very specific vision for her bouquet and we worked closely together to find the perfect flowers and greens to bring that vision to life.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied round style bouquets with a single burgundy Dahlia, a few Roses and Thistle and the same mix of greenery. We wanted to mimic the wilder look of Kendra’s bouquet without too much draping. Each bouquet is similar but the greenery falls in different ways giving it a cohesive but varied look.

HIGHLY recommend Love is Blooming! I had attempted to work with two different florists to recreate a bouquet from a picture I found on Pinterest, that I absolutely loved! Neither were able to create anything even remotely similar to the picture, and I thought I was going to have to give up on my vision. But then I found Erin at Love is Blooming, and she went above and beyond to create a gorgeous bouquet for myself, as well as beautiful matching bouquets for my bridal party! She provided great communication throughout her entire creation process and I couldn’t be happier with how they all turned out!
— Kendra | Minnesota

A huge thank you to Kendra and again to her amazing photographer for allowing the use of these images. If you are interested in a dramatic bouquet to carry down the aisle or maybe you have a very specific vision for your custom silk wedding flowers, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Moody Purple Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Last week I showed you Felicia’s beautiful wedding flowers in multiple shades of purple. This week I get to share with you Morgan’s moody purple silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at some photos from Ivy and Ink Photography from her lovely wedding day!

Morgan’s cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of white Garden Roses, lavender Garden Roses, plum Tea Roses, purple Heather, and Lamb’s Ear.

The bridesmaids carried the same mix of flowers in round handtied style bridesmaid bouquets. I was so pleased that the plum tea Roses matched their dresses to perfectly!

I got so many compliments on the flowers for the wedding! I can’t thank you enough for them!
— Morgan | Missouri

Morgan wanted matching centerpieces but didn’t want to budget for full finished arrangements. She had the great idea to buy bulk amounts of Roses and Baby’s Breath to make her own centerpieces. They added the perfect amount of floral touch to her reception and she did a great job arranging them herself!

I wanted to share Morgan’s cake with you as a great example of how to add just a touch of florals to your cake, without going over board. The rustic look of her cake and cake stand, along with that custom topper IS the feature. Adding a big floral piece really would have taken away from those unique elements. I think this was a great decision to add just a few flowers around the base of the cake to incorporate the them and colors without it being all about the flowers.

Here’s one last breathtaking shot of Morgan from the talented Ivy and Ink Photography.

Multiple Shades of Purple in Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-purple

I get to share a few photos from another one of my amazing brides, Felicia! She wanted multiple shades of purple flowers in all her arrangements. We worked closely together to find just the right ones, including: dusty lavender Peonies, plum Tea Roses, bright lavender Ranunculus, Wisteria Ranunculus, and lavender Heather. She loved the idea of some mixed greenery, so I included Seeded Eucalyptus and Lamb’s Ear and then she added a touch of Baby’s Breath for a classy and happy round style bridal bouquet.

silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-purple

Felicia opted to have wrist corsages for each of bridesmaids and I loved that idea. Seeing their beautiful dresses, with all the purple lace, I think it was a great way to allow their dresses to take center stage while still incorporating some small floral elements to match the bridal bouquet.

Felicia also ordered two custom altar arrangements to go on her amazing arbor. Is this not an impressive venue??

Erin did an amazing job on my flowers for my wedding day! I love how they turned out. I didn’t have much of an idea to go off of when we started designing my bouquet, I just knew my colors and Erin created such a beautiful bouquet for me. She made beautiful corsages for my bridal party and the boutonnieres were made perfectly as well. She was always so sweet and responded to all my emails and any concerns I had didn’t seem like it was an issue. She had the right answers for me every time. I love, love, love my bouquet and I definitely would recommend her to anyone.
