I know that it’s officially spring here in Minnesota, but one of the things we’re known for is our snow (and cold, but we’ll ignore that for now). When Danielle sent me here wedding photos from her magical, snowy, winter wedding, I couldn’t wait to share them! And truly if you are thinking of a winter wedding, this is the perfect time to start planning for custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at Danielle’s lovely white winter wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented Rule Creative Co. Check them out if you are Minnesotan!
Here’s our clearly very happy couple Danielle and Riley. Their February wedding here in Minnesota may have been cold, but that sure didn’t seem to dampen their spirits! Danielle’s bouquet was a round handtied style that had just a touch of hanging greenery. It consisted of white Roses, Peonies, Dahlia, and Ranunculus, Lambs Ear, Eucalyptus and other mixed greenery in more sage/dusty green tones. I really loved that she chose greenery that added height, texture and some dramatic draping.
Her attendants carrying flowers had smaller, handtied style bouquets with the same floral mix as the bridal bouquet. Danielle wanted her bouquet to be the only one with the cascading greenery, so we left that out of their bouquets. She also had a bridesman standing up on her side. His boutonniere matched the groomsmen’s bouts, but I love that his suit matched the bridesmaids!
We kept it very classic for the bridal party boutonnieres. Riley had a single white Rose bud with a small white Ranunculus. I also pulled some of the same greenery from the bridal bouquet to accent his boutonniere so that his stood out a little from the groomsmen.
“Erin was wonderful to work with. I was able to meet with her in person and see the beautiful work she does. She was thorough in asking what we envisioned for our day. Communication was efficient. Once it was closer to the wedding, she sent us progress photos to make sure we liked everything. They were very beautiful and so realistic. She created our ceremony flowers, bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, and the boutonnieres. A great option as an alternative to real flowers that will last and look natural in photos.”
Danielle ordered a couple of decor pieces to complement their amazing venue. Those big windows provide so much “decor” on their own! The altar area featured a classy, modern fireplace that Danielle wanted some floral pieces for. We decided on a larger focal piece to go at one end, with a long, matching garland to stretch almost all the way across. This was inspired by other photos from the venue that she had seen and liked.
I specifically designed the fireplace arrangement to be in two pieces so that they could be used somewhere else during the reception. These were the perfect pieces to sit on the head table.
Minnesota is known for it’s 10,000 lakes (it’s actually 11,842 if you’re curious), so this feels like the perfect last photo for Danielle and Riley’s winter wedding. Magical, right?!
