Cascade Bridal Bouquet

Blush, Burgundy, Berry, Beautiful Silk Wedding Flowers

Becky’s blush, burgundy, berry and beautiful silk wedding flowers were not just a dream alliteration, they were dreamy custom silk flowers and bridal bouquets!

Her modified cascade bridal bouquet was a combination of blush and cream Cabbage Roses, raspberry Calla Lilies, burgundy Calla Lilies, white Dahlia, white Roses, burgundy Seeds, Lamb’s Ear, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaid bouquets were a similar mix of flowers, but in a handtied style and without the raspberry Callas. Those we kept for just the bridal bouquet.

Becky also wanted a flower crown for her flower girl. I used a mix of all her colors in smaller scale accent flowers based on a crown of white Baby’s Breath.

Plum and Orange Silk Wedding Flowers

I know I’ve been sharing a ton of last year (and probably this year’s) hot color in bridal bouquets — burgundy. But there are so many other color combinations out there worth mentioning! Today, I want to show you a really striking color scheme of plum and orange. Take a look at these gorgeous custom silk wedding flowers!

The cascading style bridal bouquet was a mix of plum Tea Roses and Peonies, orange Dahlia and Waxflower with Baby’s Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus to fill it all in.

The handtied bridesmaid bouquets and the clutch style toss bouquet had the same mix of flowers and colors to keep things all cohesive.

This custom swag is a great versatile piece. This could be hung from an arch or laid on a table in front of a unity candle. Then after the ceremony, it could be moved over to the head table or cake table for instant decor that does double duty! Now that’s a way to save some $$!!

The plum Tea Roses in the smallest bud size were a great flower to use for the boutonnieres and corsages. With just a touch of orange and white to tie it all together, they were perfect complements to the larger arrangments.

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreations Reveal

I don’t always get permission to share the original photos clients send me when recreating a bridal bouquet. But that doesn’t mean I can’t share the finished product! Here are three gorgeous and unique bridal bouquet recreations in silk wedding flowers that are totally worth sharing!

This first bouquet was a striking combination of Anemone, white Ranunculus, blush Roses, peach Hydrangea, Seeded Eucalyptus, white Heather, light green Eucalyptus seeds, Lamb’s Ear, chocolate Cosmos, and purple Eucalyptus in a cascade style bouquet. I just love the high contrast of the white and dark purples!

This next bouquet was for her destination wedding. It was a classic round style bouquet chock full of roses in a variety of whites and creams.

Here’s one more for your viewing pleasure :)

This last bouquet was so gorgeous and lush. It had a mix of Cabbage Roses in Peach and Cream, white Peonies, cream Ranunculus, white Hydrangea, and brighter pink Roses. Tucked throughout the bouquet were pretty clusters of larger scale pearls. It was such a sweet bouquet to recreate!

Sunflowers and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers

This elopement bridal bouquet inspired several more variations of bouquets and wedding flowers, and I have another to share with you today! Domenique used that silk bouquet as her inspiration, but wanted to add in a few elements to go with her color scheme. She liked the modified cascade style with Sunflowers, Succulents and Eucalyptus, but she wanted to get some dusty blue in there as well so I suggested some dusty blue Wisteria. Later, she decided some Peacock feathers would be the perfect element to up the elegance. We finished off the look with a combination of burlap and lace. Scroll down to read what Domenique had to say about collaborating on her bouquet with me.

Received my bouquet in perfect time. Amazing customer service. Erin really worked with me and always kept me updated on my order. It was really important that I got my order in time and when I got it it was beyond my expectations. Thank you so much for making this part of my wedding process stress free.
— Domenique | California

I made a couple boutonnieres to match the bridal bouquet. We kept them fairly simple with a small sunflower, baby’s breath, greenery and for the groom a sprig of Wisteria buds and a Peacock feather.

The corsages were equally simple with a mini Sunflower and bud, baby’s breath, Wisteria petals, and a small spray of rhinestones.

Thanks to Domenique for working so easily with me to design your custom silk wedding flowers.

Adjusting Expectation for Inspiration Photos for a Silk Flower Bouquet

Elijah contacted me about a very unique bouquet he wanted to order for his fiancée’ in silk wedding flowers. He had an inspiration picture that we worked really hard to duplicate. The original bouquet had white Casablanca Lilies, lots of Spray Roses and Delphinium buds that trailed down the front in two distinct pieces. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find Delphinium buds that were as large or as prolific as what he wanted. I found some mini Peony buds and, of all things, Hops that I mixed together to mimic the look of the trailing bud vines. For the greenery I added in some pieces of Smilax for a nice dark contrast to all the white flowers.

Elijah’s fiancée had a very specific vision for this bouquet, based off a bouquet she had seen a photo of and loved. This can be a tricky situation since I’m not working with the exact same material and had to make some substitutions. I asked Elijah each step along the way for his approval before coming up with the final design you see. There were some expectations that had to be adjusted, but Elijah was a great communicator and honest with me about he liked and didn’t like, what worked and what didn’t.

Ivory, Champagne and Dusty Rose Silk Wedding Flowers

Carmen’s ivory, champagne and dusty rose silk wedding flowers were so fun to create. She opted for a modified cascade style bridal bouquet with a distinctly asymmetrical shape. Her bouquet was unique, the colors romantic, and the look was so classy. Scroll down to take a look!

We wanted to come up with a really soft looking bouquet. I suggested Cymbidium Orchids, toast colored Roses, ivory Peonies, dusty rose Mums, small pink Cosmos, and Lamb’s Ear.

The matching toss bouquet incorporated one Cymbidium Orchid, a toast colored Rose, dusty pink Mum, and some Lamb’s Ear with ribbon.

The matching boutonnieres and corsages:

Burgundy and White Silk Wedding Flowers

Earlier this year I waxed poetic about sunflowers, and cascading bridal bouquets, and probably the color purple. But I hereby declare 2020 (besides being a ridiculous year) the year of burgundy wedding flowers. And as I just sent my first 2021 wedding off to it’s happy home, it looks like burgundy may be the color of 2021 as well. Here’s another example of some beautiful burgundy silk wedding flowers for a wedding earlier this fall.

Morgan initially approached me about creating a custom modified cascade style bridal bouquet for herself. She hoped to DIY the rest of her bouquets to save money. But after she saw her show stopping custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers, she came back for a second order that included bridesmaid bouquets and a toss bouquet to match. Take a look at these modern styled bouquets filled with lush greenery and high contrast colors.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Peonies, white Roses, Seeded and Blue Eucalyptus, Sage greenery, white Heather, and green Amaranthus. This unique shape, the modified cascade, is becoming more popular as brides are looking for a more modern take on a traditional tear drop cascade.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller clutch style bouquets with just a handful of the burgundy Peonies and white Roses. I gave it that same loose look with all that awesome greenery.

Toss bouquets are traditionally smaller than the bridesmaid bouquets. Though there is always the option for a bigger bouquet if you want something more substantial to toss. Morgan opted for a smaller toss bouquet that we set apart with some pretty ribbon tails (left photo). She also decided to order a mini bouquet for her flower girl. It was essentially the same size as the toss bouquet, just without the ribbon tails.

Silk Bridal Bouquet Review

Take a look at this joyful couple who got married recently! You may have seen my post a few days ago about Maggie’s bouquet which was inspired by an elopement bouquet I did earlier this year.

Scroll down to see more photos from her big day and to read what she had to say about working with me. Photos were taken by Andre of Voida Visuall. Check him out on Facebook or IG (@voidavisuall).

I decided on silk flowers for my wedding bouquet and boutonniere. I reached out to Erin on her Love Is Blooming website and got a reply right away! I was very impressed with the whole experience. She has a very creative eye and sent updates of the bouquet while it was being created and made sure I was happy with it. Would 100% recommend if you are looking to go the silk flower route. Very reasonable pricing as well!

Last Minute Elopement Bridal Bouquet and Groom's Boutonniere

Katelyn contacted me in a flurry of changed plans and needing immediate help. Because of COVID they had made the hard decision to postpone their wedding until 2021, but then decided to elope for a destination wedding to the mountains of Washington last minute. She needed a custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers with a matching groom’s boutonniere with less than two weeks until the elopement date. I came up with a design lickety-split and here’s the final product!

The bridal bouquet was an offset modified cascade design. The main color was burgundy, so I added some Button mums and Amaranthus to ivory Roses and a variety of greenery including Seeded Eucalyptus, Lamb’s ear, Hydrangea buds, Eucalyptus and some other more delicate greenery. The groom’s boutonniere was an ivory Rose bud, Button Mum bud and mixed greens tied off with the same Antique White ribbon on the bridal bouquet.

If your wedding plans have changed and you need a last minute wedding flowers, contact me today so you don’t have to say, “I do” empty-handed.

White and Gold in Silk Wedding Flowers

Elizabeth’s classic color palette of white, ivory, and gold was a fun one to work with. She had a wide variety of flowers that she liked and we were able to incorporate almost all of them. Her silk bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with ivory Roses, ivory Ranunculus, white Anemone, Queen Anne’s Lace, white Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear, and 3 different types of Eucalyptus.

I used a sheer gold ribbon to give a nice contrast to all the whites and ivory flowers and also add a bit of shimmer.

The bridesmaid bouquets matched the bridal in flower and style with a looser composition, but not as much cascading pieces.

The toss bouquet was a small clutch style bouquet with just a handful of flowers, but all the same style and elegance as the other bouquets.

What did you think of this color palette? Love it as is or maybe would you add a pop of color? If you are looking for ways to customize your floral decor to match your color scheme, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote and to receive ideas.

Sunflower Modified Cascade Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 2 Reveal & Review

Earlier this week I showed you the photos I took at home. But those are nothing compared to what Ashley sent me. Take a look at these amazing photos by James Erick Photography out of Utah and read what Ashley had to say about working with me and about her silk bridal bouquet.

What a beautiful and happy couple! And a great looking group to stand next to you on your big day!

Can’t recommend her enough!

Erin is absolutely amazing, and so so kind!! I felt annoying asking for so many changes and specifications, but she was always optimistic and happy to help me get my desired looks! I could tell she genuinely cared about me and what i wanted my bouquets and bouts to look like.

I was worried that the silk flowers would be very obviously fake, but oh my god, they’re gorgeous. I didn’t know exactly what i was looking for at first, and she helped me figure out what it was that I wanted.

I loved the constant communication. She worked with me every step of the way, and that helped ease my worries about purchasing silk flowers online. She also works with your budget, which I really appreciated. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for silk flowers, talk to her! you will NOT regret it. She exceeded my expectations.

Thanks Erin!

I included this last photo because it’s all about the love! Thanks again to Ashley for sharing her big day with me and with all of you!

Sunflower Modified Cascade Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

Ashley’s sunflower themed silk wedding flowers were a fun challenge for me. I’ve done lots of different sunflower themed bouquets (just head over to my blog and do a quick search for more examples), but Ashley wanted a bouquet that had a few more colors mixed in, lots of greenery and to turn a cascade bouquet on its head, quite literally. As you can see below, instead of the traditional vertical tear drop of a cascade, we spread out the bouquet side to side for a very unique take on a cascade bouquet. This is exactly the type of bouquet that fits into my category of “modified cascade.” You can clearly see that it’s not a round bouquet, and not a true cascade. It has a more organic shape with draping elements. It is a showstopper!

The bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, blueberries, burgundy Mums, white Cosmos, white accent flowers, Seeded Ecualyptus, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Fern. We tied it off with Antique White satin ribbon and left some of the stems exposed for a more modern look.

The bridesmaid bouquets needed to be a matching style without as much volume. We pared back the amount of flowers and added in some navy Delphinium to deepen the color scheme to match their moody burgundy dresses. I kept the composition loose and a little wild to match the look of the bridal bouquet.

Ashley had requested that I make all of the boutonnieres and corsages different from each other, incorporating a variety of greenery and accent flowers in blue, white and burgundy. This was so fun for me, because each one is unique, but stays consistent with the look and feel of her other flowers.

Do you like the idea of unique boutonnieres and corsages? Or maybe you want a cascade that’s, well, not quite a cascade? Silk flowers allow you to have that kind of input! There’s no flipping through catalogs to pick out the same thing 1,000 other brides already picked out.

Check back in a few days to see the reveal of Ashley’s wedding day and hear what she had to say about working with me on her custom silk wedding flowers.

Green and White Silk Wedding Flowers with Structure Arrangement for Destination Wedding

Emily contacted me about custom arrangements for her destination wedding in the Bahamas. Not only did she want a silk bridal bouquet and matching silk bridesmaids bouquets, but she had an awesome plan for the ceremony structure at her tropical venue.

We started with the bouquets that were going to be a simple palette of green and white. Peonies, Sophia Garden Roses, Ranunculus and Baby’s Breath would be the main flower ingredients and those would be surrounded by a variety of Eucalyptus and seeds in a modified cascade style bouquet.

I scaled back the bridesmaid bouquets with a single Peony, loosely placed Ranunculus, a touch of Baby’s Breath and then surrounded it with Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Seeds in an organically shaped handtied bouquet.

For the cake flowers, I created a simple topper with a Sophia Garden Rose, Ranunculus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. I also created a custom swag for around the base of the cake with a Peony, Ranunculus and Eucalyptus.

The real show stopper of this order of Emily’s silk wedding flowers was her custom structure arrangement made entirely with greenery. I had to climb a ladder to photograph it because there wasn’t an appropriate place in my house big enough! The custom altar arrangement was made up in 3 parts; a 27” swag and 2 garlands that were each about 6’ long. The structure at Emily’s venue is going to be 12’ long, so we needed something that would stretch across the entire span of it. This thing is going to have a big impact!

Chianti Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

Every once in a while a color comes along and despite my 15 years in the business, I have to Google it:) I’m not afraid to admit it, but Chianti was one of those colors. I was so glad to see it on my screen because it’s a gorgeous, moody, dusty, saturated pink.

I went looking for the perfect rose for Caitlyn’s bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers where she wanted to include a hint of Chianti to accent the blush pink, ivory and greenery. Her cascading style bridal bouquet in silk flowers includes Ranunculus, Roses, Peonies, Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and ivory Heather. It’s such a soft and romantic looking bouquet! I tied it off with the ever popular Antique White satin ribbon for a beautiful wedding day bouquet.

Caitlyn liked the idea of the bridesmaids carrying not only a different style bouquet but also a different combination of flowers. Each bridesmaid would carry the same blush Rose from the bridal bouquet but they would be surrounded by Baby’s Breath and Lamb’s Ear.

Boutonnieres and corsages were easy to design since her main flowers are great sizes for them. The groom and groomsmen wore the blush pink Roses and the dads wore Ranunculus. The mothers’ wrist corsages matched the fathers’ with some Baby’s Breath, blush accent and rhinestones for a little sparkle.

Blending Themes Within a Wedding- Rustic and Tropical Silk Wedding Flowers

After 16 years of marriage, I can say with certainty that marriage takes a lot of blending of ideas, plans, and opinions. Sometimes we don’t realize that it actually starts long before you say, “I do.” So when you sit down together to talk about the vision for your wedding day, don’t be surprised if you both have different ideas. But don’t panic! Blending themes within a wedding isn’t as hard as it sounds! These silk wedding flowers are a great example of taking two different ideas and incorporating them into custom arrangements that fit the bride and groom.

Josie wanted a mix of Lilies and Calla Lilies and had some bright and fun colors as well. Her teal, orange and purple theme colors would be used in their centerpieces and she wanted to incorporate them in her ceremony flowers as well. The bridal bouquet was a mix of white Garden Lilies, ivory Calla Lilies, orange and purple Dendrobium Orchids and teal mini Phalaenopsis orchids. Her summer-y bouquet was a combination of all the inspiration photos she sent me. Though this bouquet looks quite tropical, Josie wanted to include a rustic element. Twine is a great way to accent any bouquet that you want to look a little more organic and rustic.

For the bridesmaid bouquets, we used the same variety of flowers, but in a handtied style. With their bouquets, the twine was a little more front and center, but still kept everything on theme.

For the toss bouquet, I scaled everything back, including using a different orange flower that fit the overall size of the bouquet much better.

The pin on corsages were all similar, with subtle differences to set apart the mothers, grandmothers and attendants. Again, the twine was a fun way to keep these bright and happy corsages a little more earthy.

Josie and her groom did a great job personalizing their flowers. One way they did this was to send me spent shotgun shells and turkey feathers for their boutonnieres. These accessories were a fun way to give a nod to the family’s hunting hobby. If you’ve been around my blog long enough, you may remember the last time I did some custom boutonnieres with shotgun shells.

Groom’s and Groomsman’s Boutonniere

Even the littlest bridal party member wasn’t left out. The ring bearer boutonniere might have been too small for a shotgun shell, but it wasn’t too small for a turkey feather!

Blending bright flowers with rustic accents isn’t a new idea. In fact I did it once before for Tracy’s Rustic Barn Wedding Flowers. Maybe you have a few ideas that you aren’t sure how to combine to make your wedding day truly unique. That’s where I come in! Contact me today to start a design plan that fits your ideas and dreams, no matter how different they might seem!

Wedding Day Reveal of Silk Flowers

There is nothing sweeter than getting to see my flowers out in “the wild.” I spend time chatting and designing with each client and then I send their silk wedding flowers off to their Happily Ever After. Rachel sent me some shots from her wedding with her bridal bouquet that made me gasp and slap my husband on the arm as I pointed at my phone screen.

These breathtaking images were taken by the very talented MVphotos.

Custom Wedding Flowers to Complement Wisteria Bridesmaid Dresses

This is my fourth wedding in the last 9 months where Wisteria was the main wedding color. When bridesmaids are wearing Wisteria dresses, you want colors that complement them without being too matchy-matchy. Rachel’s wedding flowers were a fun challenge because she wanted to incorporate some mauve and blush pink for a soft romantic look. We decided her silk bridal bouquet was the perfect place for that.

This modified cascading bridal bouquet had ivory Roses, ivory Dahlia, ivory Ranunculus, mauve Roses, blush pink Tulips, blush pink Seedum, plum Heather, Fern, Smilax and Ivy with Antique White satin ribbon.

The bridesmaid bouquets were quite a bit different from the bridal bouquet. The base of the bouquet was Hydrangea for a nice full look, a single ivory Dahlia, cream mini Tulips with a collar of plum Heather and Smilax. They were finished off with Antique White ribbon.

The toss bouquet was a mix between both styles of bouquets with ivory Roses and Hydrangea, mauve Roses, plum Heather, Smilax and a touch of Fern. I added the Antique White ribbon and some tails because they look good flying through the air.

Burgundy Silk Wedding Flowers with a Twist

When Candace booked her wedding with me in February, she had a pretty good idea of what she wanted for her custom silk wedding flowers and a bridal bouquet. The inspiration photos had creamy Roses, peach and burgundy accents and lots of greenery and texture. They were moody and romantic and a little bit boho—perfect for an October wedding! Once I started working on her arrangements, she felt like it was missing a little pop of color, so we incorporated a touch of golden orange that gave the bouquets that perfect little twist of brightness. Take a look at Candace’s awesome custom silk wedding bouquets for fall.

The bridal bouquet incorporated cream Roses, peach Roses, apricot Garden Roses, ivory Spray Roses, burgundy Dahlia, orange gold Mums, Seeded Eucalyptus, Magnolia leaves, dusty greenery, feathery Fern, and seed pods in mauve. This modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet is a show stopper!

The bridesmaid bouquets weren’t the exact same shape but incorporated almost all the same elements as the bridal bouquet while giving off the same wild and rustic vibe.

This nontraditional shape bridesmaid bouquet is definitely becoming the norm as more bride’s are choosing more organic shapes and color palettes for both themselves and their bridal party.
