Boho Chic Wedding with Sunflowers, Dusty Blue and Ivory - Reveal

, , ,

I am in love with the look of today’s featured wedding! Ashley had a specific vision for her wedding flowers and was able to really communicate that well as we hunted for the perfect flowers. Her colors were dusty blue, yellow, greenery and hints of ivory to match her dress. She wanted to incorporate a specific type of Dahlia, some Sunflowers, and Forget-Me-Nots in her cascading style bridal bouquet. I also added in Ranunculus, mini Sunflowers, Queen Anne’s Lace and a variety of greenery for a full, textured bouquet. Thanks to Kassandra Russell at Granite Stag Photography, we get to see some photos from this beautiful wedding day!

One of my favorite details from Ashley’s custom silk wedding flowers actually has nothing to do with me:) She added beautiful macrame wraps to each of the bridal party bouquets. They complemented her amazing lacey, crochet-look dress. This is a great example of how you can customize anything to make your silk wedding flowers completely unique, and completely you!

Here we get a little peak at the custom hair piece made to match Ashley’s bouquet. It pairs great with a veil, but can stand on its own too!

Here’s their awesome bridal party featuring attire in different shades of blue.

The bridesmaids carried round hand tied bouquets with a slightly different mix of flowers. Ashley wanted to incorporate Billy Buttons into their bouquets, and we left out the Dahlia and the Forget-Me-Nots to keep them as special elements for her bouquet. Their clutch style bouquets had a few Ranunculus, Sunflowers and Billy Buttons with the same greenery as the bridal bouquet.

“We love our florals! ...I am speechless! They’re beautiful! ”
— Ashley | Louisiana

The backdrop for their ceremony was stunning. Ashley wanted flowers for the arch that featured the Sunflowers and Dahlias and filled in with greenery. As you can see, they didn’t need to be big and bold because the woods were the main feature!

These simple centerpieces incorporated her flowers and colors in mini bouquets. Ashley had picked out vases on her end, so I created these mini bouquets to work with what she had. Another benefit of silk flowers is that I work with your needs to come up with budget friendly options that are beautiful!

I mean, we gotta show the puppies, right?

I thought this was the cutest shot to end with. Their sweet flower girls had flower crowns with some mini accent flowers and baby’s breath.

Navy and Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

It’s always great to be a part, as the florist, for such happy occasions. But it’s even more special when it’s family! This summer, I was given the privilege of creating a few special arrangements for the marriage of my brother-in-law to his amazing bride, Melinda. It was a joyful day of celebrating the addition of Melinda and her daughter into our family. Let’s take a look at this navy and gold themed backyard wedding.

Melinda wanted mostly greenery and succulents featured in her modified cascade style bouquet. As we worked through the design, we decided to incorporate some navy roses, lighter blue Forget-me-Nots and added some glam factor with gold mini Palm leaves. Her bouquet was full of texture and movement from the Eucalyptus, Lamb’s Ear, Willow, Fern and Succulents. Their two girls were their wedding party, so I created two mini bouquets featuring a Succulent, Forget-Me-Nots, gold mini Palm and mixed greenery.

“Timeless arrangements that you will cherish. Erin has a true talent that will make all your wedding flower dreams come true. My flowers were exactly what I envisioned.”
— Melinda | Minnesota

With such an awesome back drop, we kept the altar decorations simple with a swag of mixed greenery and some gold mini Palm accents.

What started out as the groom joking about a balloon arch, turned into a show-stopping entrance to the reception area. I also wanted to show you the amazing cake by Cakes For Your Occasions, who happens to be my Mother-in-Law/the Groom’s mom. If you are local and looking for a cake that’s beautiful to look at and tastes amazing too, check her out!

I had to end with my sweet, adorable and delightful nieces. Aren’t they so joyful?

Dusty Pink and Dusty Blue Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Rebecca contacted me for her May wedding and wanted to incorporate some dusty pink wedding flowers to complement her dusty blue bridesmaid dresses. And just like this wedding I featured a few weeks ago, her bridesmaids got to choose a style of dress that they liked. I just love this color combination and can’t wait to share these arrangements with you!

Rebecca wanted to be sure and credit her awesome vendors, so if you are in Minnesota check out her photographer Laura Brenden Photography, makeup by Maggie Jensen (IG: maggiej_makeup), and the venue was Lost Spur Golf and Event Center.

Rebecca’s bouquet was a mix of ivory Cabbage Roses, dusty pink Peonies, dusty pink mini Roses, Lamb’s Ear and standard Eucalyptus in modified cascade style bridal bouquet. This asymmetrical design is a go-to of mine for the simple fact that it looks good from the front AND the side, so if you you forget to hold it a certain way, it’s still going to photograph great.

Look at these beautiful ladies! The bridesmaids carried full round, handtied styled bouquets with the same mix of flowers. The flower girls had little mini bouquets that were just the perfect size.

“We absolutely loved the flowers that we got for our wedding day. Erin did a great job keeping us updated and including any ideas that we had. Amazing job and gorgeous flowers!”
— Rebecca | Minnesota

Rebecca wanted simple flowers for the head table so I created a swag that laid in front of the bride and groom. It incorporated the same mix of flowers and greenery and was low enough that every one could see the happy couple. I also usually suggest having the bouquets do double duty for reception décor. The photos below show how that works out. Just have your bridesmaids drop their bouquets in a vase along the table when they enter the reception area.

I love these detail shots!

Peach, Desert Coral and Soft Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I LOVED the color palette of Cheyenne’s custom silk wedding flowers. Her bridesmaids were wearing shades of peach, desert coral and soft yellow and we wanted to incorporate those colors as closely as possible along with sunflowers as a main flower. I sent her some photos of flower suggestions and we narrowed them down to the perfect combination! Let’s look at these beautiful photos from her photographer that you can find here: Little Laugh Box on Facebook.

Cheyenne carried a cascading style bouquet with soft yellow Sunflowers, Toast Roses, Peach Roses, and ivory Cabbage Roses. We added a hint of Seeded Eucalyptus for contrast and it was such a stunning bouquet.

I love these detail shots!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of Toast Roses, ivory Cabbage Roses a single Sunflower and some greenery. They worked so well with the bridesmaid dress colors!

“Erin was wonderful to work with, and her prices are so affordable for her work! She worked with me from the start on selecting colors, suggesting ideas, and making sure I got everything I wanted. I am so glad I found her to do the floral arrangements, and the silk bouquets look incredible! My favorite part of having silk flowers is that I can keep them forever! I currently have my wedding bouquet on my fireplace mantle on display.

If you’re hesitant on getting silk flowers, I can testify that they are just as good (if not better) than real flowers! I will be telling everyone I know to use Erin for their floral needs. ”
— Cheyenne | Texas

Cheyenne also wanted some flowers for an accent on her cake. We decided which flowers we wanted on there and I sent them loose for her baker to place on the cake.

Thanks again to Cheyenne, for sharing her wedding day with us! Are your bridesmaids wearing a variety of colors that you’d like to match your flowers to?

White and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

My brides are just the best and send me such amazing photos of their wedding days. Let’s take a look at Melanie’s white and blush custom silk wedding flowers today. Her photographer is the very talented Northern Honey Photography. If you are a Minnesotan and need someone amazing for your wedding day, get in touch with them for your photography needs!

Look at this great looking couple! Melanie was so easy to work with and had a clear vision of her flowers. We stuck with all white for her cascading bridal bouquet. It included Cabbage Roses, Garden Roses, Larkspur, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus. It was such a classic style!

Her bridesmaids wore dusty blue and she wanted a touch of blush pink, so we added a couple pink roses into their round handtied bouquets. The groomsmen wore matching blue pink roses for their boutonnieres.

“If you are looking for wedding flowers, stop now because you have found your girl! Erin is SERIOUSLY amazing! I showed her my inspiration pictures, and she recreated the exact bouquets I was thinking of! The bouquets looked so real that my mother-in-law even put her corsage in the fridge! She had no idea they weren’t real. The flowers stayed in perfect condition the whole day, and let me tell you, it was super windy. All the bridal party looked great! The flowers used were great quality. Erin is also so flexible and responds quickly! I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. I wish I could give 10/5 stars! I am so happy and grateful for Love Is Blooming!”
— Melanie | Minnesota

This next photo is the perfect way to show you what I always suggest to save money in your decor budget. Line your head table with vases and as each couple gets called in to the reception venue, have your bridesmaids drop their bouquet in one of the vases along the table. Voila! Instant decor:)

Thanks again to Melanie for being a dream to work with and for sharing these beautiful photos with me. If you are looking for custom wedding flowers that don’t cost a fortune and will photograph perfectly for your entire wedding day, then silk flowers might be just what you are looking for!

Copper and Cream Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

What I LOVE about my job is the creativity! Cressie contacted me and wanted to have copper somehow incorporated into her wedding flowers. Finding ways to incorporate unique accents, like copper or peacock feathers or pinecones (I could go one) is a fun challenge. It needs to be noticeable, but not in a “I just put copper piping in your bouquet” kind of way. I went on the hunt and found this beautiful copper-tinged Sword Eucalyptus that felt like the perfect touch for her custom silk flower bouquets. Let’s take a look at the photos Cressie sent over from her very talented photographer, Shawgo Studios.

For Cressie’s bouquet, I used a variety of cream silk wedding flowers. My favorites were the Sophia Roses that had a deeper, almost taupe center to them. They added so much depth. She also had Cabbage Roses, Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus for more traditional types of greenery. Both Cressie and her bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquets.

I still love the look of varying shades and styles of bridesmaid dresses. And I bet the bridesmaids love it too!

“The flowers looked amazing!”
— Cressie | Illinois

Custom Silk Wedding Flower Review

, , , ,

I shared Kelsey’s bright and bold custom silk wedding flowers back in January, and recently, Kelsey took the time to send in a review in honor of her upcoming one year anniversary. Hearing from real people with real experiences is a great way to vet a vendor for your wedding day. And of course, I’ll take any excuse to show off my awesome clients :) Let’s hear what Kelsey had to say!

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bright-bridal-bouquet

Photo provided by Nick G. who is moving on from his career in photography, but I’m so grateful for his permission to share his beautiful work!

“Coming up on our 1 year anniversary has me going back through all of our wedding photos. I still can’t get enough of how wonderful a job Erin did for my bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets. We loved them so much that both my mom and I are using the bouquets as floral arrangements in our respective homes (another reason to go with silk!). From hearing my eclectic ideas and array of colors to making last minute changes, Erin was a dream to work with. My maid of honor got married a couple months later and made sure to use Erin, as well!”

Yellow, Dusty Blue and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I really love today’s set of photos that I get to share with you. Zephyr’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of yellow, dusty blue and ivory. We had a plan for her bouquet when she placed her order and then she saw Lexi’s bridal bouquet and liked the shape and look so much that we decided to use that as the inspiration for her bouquet. Let’s take a look at the beautiful images from Photographs by Julie. And if you want, you can find her here on Facebook.

Zephyr’s bouquet was a mix of yellow Roses, blue Dogwood and Hydrangea, ivory Cabbage Roses and Anemone with ivy and greenery. Look at the train on her dress! Doesn’t she look stunning??

“Erin is AMAZING! She made all of the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres! She is the kindest most thoughtful vendor and you won’t regret it!!”
— Zephyr | Pennsylvania

I’m loving the trend of dusty blue, it’s moody and classic and perfect for a variety of seasons.

Thanks again to Zephyr for sharing photos of her big day and to Photographs by Julie for her amazing photos.

We are just turning the corner into fall here in Minnesota, and I thought it would be the perfect time to share Madia’s autumn themed silk wedding flowers.

She sent me some gorgeous photos from her photographer Anita Louise Photography.

“Thank you so much, I loved them!! I keep my bouquet displayed in my library. ”

Cabernet, Blush, and Cream Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Bride Stephanie was a dream to work with last year and she was kind enough to send me some images from her big day! Let’s take a look at these photos of her custom silk bridal bouquet from Marquee Studio.

Stephanie’s bouquet was a mix of blush and wine Peonies, pinkish burgundy Dahlia, cream Dahlia and lots of Eucalyptus and Lamb’s Ear. It was a modified cascade style bouquet that was full, but not overpowering.

I love this picture of the guys! They are holding the bridesmaid bouquets that were the same mix as the bridal bouquet, just in smaller handtied style bouquets.

“A very delayed review from our winter wedding because I’ve been so overwhelmed by how beautifully everything turned out and I couldn’t pick favorite photos! Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was the best of both worlds - getting to lean on the expertise of a florist, with the longevity and lower stress (and less price fluctuation) of faux florals. She did an amazing job matching the bridesmaids dress color (azazie cabernet), and suggesting alternate colors for the groomsmen boutonnieres when we didn’t want to use all white flowers. Flowers arrived early and shipped well! Would absolutely recommend!”
— Stephanie | New Jersey

I love the look of joy on Stephanie’s face here! Thanks again to another wonderful client and for the photos from Marquee Studio.

Sisters' Bridal Bouquet Recreations - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Bridal Bouquet recreations aren’t just for the gifting husband. I have had sisters, friends, and moms all order them for someone else. I have also had plenty of brides who wanted a bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers for themselves! Rounine, my lovely customer, fit into two of those categories. She wanted a bridal bouquet recreation for herself and one for her sister! Let's take a look at these very special pieces.

Rounine’s bouquet was a mix of white Roses, Eucalyptus and Seeds in a round handtied style. So classy and elegant!

“My sister and I got married really close and we both wanted to preserve our flowers but didn’t know how. I was on google and the website came up, I emailed Erin and hoped she could do it, I was not disappointed. She communicated and sent pictures throughout the process, and it was affordable. I also wanted to surprise my sister with her own bridal bouquet recreation. I received the bouquets on Saturday and my sister happened to be with me. She was so happy with hers, she couldn’t believe how close it was to her actual bouquet. She like me wishes that she knew about love is blooming before her wedding day. We would have just gone with “fake” flowers and be able to keep all of our floral arrangements. We are very happy with the end results and we hope to use them in the future for our anniversary celebrations and preserve them along with other mementos from our wedding. Thank you again for a job well done.”

It included Cymbidium Orchids, Anemone, Thistle, Stock flowers, burgundy Roses, Hypericum Berries, Kangaroo Paw, Queen Anne’s Lace, Eucalyptus, Grass and Bunny Tails.

Blush and White Tropical Destination Wedding Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Heather reached out to me with a few inspiration photos and a truly blushing bride color palette for her destination wedding. Her vibe was beachy, romantic, soft and a touch of glamour. She requested that the bouquet was small to make travel easier, but she didn’t want to loose any drama. I sent a few flower ideas and got to work on a custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers.

I went with an asymmetrical design for the shape with a more subtle draping to the bouquet. I incorporated white and nude pink Garden Roses, white Baby’s Breath, white Phalaenopsis Orchids and blush pink Anthurium.

“So happy I found Love Is Blooming to create my custom silk bouquet!

Erin was great. She worked with my (many) inspo pictures to pick out all of the flowers and other elements that I wanted. She also helped me pick out the right size and shape since I would be flying with my bouquet and was worried about how to transport something more traditional.

She was super responsive and provided several updates to the status of my bouquet and asked for feedback before shipping (I didn’t have any as her creation was perfect and more than everything I envisioned).

Erin truly made something that could have been very stressful so easy and I would recommend her business to anyone!”
— Heather | Texas

Sunflower Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal

, ,

I’m writing this on the official first day of summer and today is July 4th, but I happen to be sharing an example of wedding flowers from a fall wedding, last year. Take note of the fact that these silk bridal and bridesmaid bouquets could easily fit into a summer wedding. The colors are bright and vibrant, with a lush look that could work for either season! These images are by the talented Dayna Quimby Photography.

The bridal bouquet was loose handtied mix of Sunflowers, burgundy Dahlia and Peonies, orange Dahlia and Ranunculus, yellow Heather and touch of navy Delphinium. I added a variety of greenery that worked so well with their outdoor ceremony site. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. We finished them all off with some burlap wrapped around the stems for a rustic touch.

I absolutely loved the detail on her wedding dress! And this back drop of a beautiful wooded area makes the dresses and flowers really pop!

White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Last fall, I did a series on white silk wedding flowers with greenery. I had shared these wedding flowers that I photographed on my dining room table and it just didn’t do them justice! Let’s take a look at Rachel’s delicate white silk flower bouquets in these gorgeous images from Liv Naturally Photography.

Rachel’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with Lily of the Valley, Baby’s Breath and Stephanotis with Lamb’s Ear, Olive greenery and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The we simplified the bridesmaids to be more of a clutch size bouquet with Baby’s Breath, Lily of the Valley, Stephanotis and just a touch of greenery. It was a perfect look to go with their sage green dresses.

Rachel’s mom, Jill, was actually the one I primarily worked with to design and bring Rachel’s vision to life for her Duluth wedding.

“Erin was so great to work with. We provided lots of information and pictures of what my daughter wanted for her wedding flowers, and Erin hit it out of the ballpark! She kept us updated, and provided photos along the way, to be sure my daughter was happy with the look. But, when we received them they were so much more beautiful than the pictures depicted. My daughter is petite (read, short :-)) and she didn’t want something that would overwhelm and cover her up too much and Erin really listened and payed attention to all the details. Thank you so much for your part in making my daughter’s wedding such a beautiful day in May!!”

Silk Bridal Bouquet in Purple - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today, I get to share with you a truly custom silk bridal bouquet! Sarah contacted me about creating a custom bridal bouquet for her to match the bridesmaid bouquets she already had. I was able to make some suggestions that matched closely and also included some unique elements that would make her bouquet stand out, but also work with what she had.

Sarah’s silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round handtied that was full of beautiful texture and colors. White Garden and Cabbage Roses, lavender Garden Roses, medium purple Ranunculus and cabbage Roses, plum tea Roses, Lavender, white Baby’s Breath, Waxflower and Blueberries. I made it nice and lush with adding a variety of greenery, including: Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Standard Eucalyptus and Ruscus. Her accent color was navy, so she chose a satin navy ribbon to finish off her bouquet.

“Erin was wonderful to work with. I was afraid to buy faux flowers online and not get to see the quality of them. I did not want the “fake flower” look. I sent over some bouquets I liked and what I already had. Erin was wonderful with giving advice, listening to my likes and dislikes and sending pictures of ones she put together quickly without charging additional to do so. Her communication was top notch. She responded so fast and in a timely manner. She had it put together and shipped so fast. I absolutely love it and it doesn’t give off that “fake look”. I am super satisfied and definitely recommend. ”
— Sarah | Ohio

Sarah sent me this photo of her bouquet and one of the bridesmaid bouquets next to each other so you can see how well they work together.

Dusty Blue and Sunflowers in Custom Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Dusty blue is a hot color right now for silk bridal bouquets, and I’ve mixed it with everything from blush, to burgundy, to gold, to peach! The wedding I’m sharing with you today was a gorgeous outdoor wedding in Florida that was full of texture and color and just so lovely. Take a look at these images from Imely Photography and Video.

Katie’s gorgeous modified cascading silk bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, dusty blue Roses, ivory mini Cabbage Roses, yellow Astilbe, Queen Anne’s Lace, Fern and Ficus greenery. She wanted some pearl accent so we went with some larger scale pearl picks to just add that little bit of glam to her bouquet. A lovely bouquet for a beautiful bride!

The two bridesmaid bouquets were round handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet. We left the pearls out so they were just special to Katie’s bouquet.

Katie had the most amazing venue for her big day. This awesome entryway to the ceremony site had window boxes on either side of the doors. I created small garlands to lay in there with a few of the feature flowers and greenery for accent.

The arbor was a rustic wood piece that I created big, lush corner swag and a smaller vertical piece for the side. Peep those palms leaves in the back-so unique!

Katie had hanging jars for the ends of each row of benches. I created small bouquets for each one and all she had to do was drop it in the jars! And what’s great about pieces like this is that you can use them elsewhere in your décor-scroll down to see how they transferred seamlessly to her reception tables.

“I found Erin online looking for wedding flowers. Sunflowers with blue flowers were very rare to find but I ended up coming across a beautiful bouquet that was the colors I wanted but not exactly what I was looking for. When id read more through her page I had reached out and asked for the specifics. I wanted blue flowers and sunflowers with a very small amount of white but more added greenery and if possible somehow added accents of lace and pearls. Erin absolutely hit exactly what i wanted out of the park. She consulted with me while they were being done to make sure i was getting exactly what i wanted (actually better than i ever could have expected) and they came well before the wedding, so no nervous bride! I also did all the decorating for my wedding and the ties on these flowers and the easy drop ins for my mason jars made for an easy experience. I love that i get to keep these beautiful pieces as well and use them now as décor for my home as we couldn’t give them up and found a way to insert them into our lives daily. The fact that they are so tastefully done and not over the top made that easy for us as well. The price was also perfect and well worth it! I wouldn’t change one thing about how beautiful her flowers tied our wedding together! Thank you Erin for such an amazing and easy experience.”
— Katie | Florida

A couple of the guys’ boutonnieres.

The cake flowers were small clusters of Sunflowers, dusty blue Roses and accent flowers, Queen Anne’s Lace and greenery. Katie also incorporated some of her own décor that all looked so good together!
