Fall Jewel Tone Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

I loved this color palette for April’s jewel toned silk wedding flowers. Her original plan was to include burgundy, plum, dusty blue and burnt orange in her arrangements and bridal bouquet. But when we got everything together, the orange stood out way too much for her and her fiance’s liking. So with a bit of editing and rearranging, we landed on these amazing, textural, bouquets full of depth and color. Take a look!

Bridal Bouquet

Antique White Satin Ribbon

April’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of plum Ranunculus, burgundy Peonies, dusty blue Thistle, ivory Spray Roses, burgundy Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus and seeded Eucalyptus.

Bridesmaid Bouquet

Toss Bouquet

The bridesmaids bouquets were a bit smaller with most of the same elements, but we left out the Spray roses and tied them off with matching burgundy ribbon. April was able to direct me to swatches of the bridesmaid dress color, so I was able to match almost exactly the Peonies and the ribbon to their dress color. The toss bouquet was a variation of the bridal with the addition of some burgundy Baby’s Breath and tied off with the same ribbon as the bridal bouquet.

We matched the ribbon on the boutonnieres to the corresponding bouquets. The wrist corsages incorporated a little bit of each color and some greenery and the mothers’ got some bling to set them apart.

If you are looking for jewel toned flowers for your fall or winter wedding, silk flowers are a great choice!

“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!”

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!

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!

Custom Silk Flower Arrangement for Special Occasions

There are quite a few reasons why fresh flowers may not be an option. Wanda contacted me about a family member she wanted to send flowers to who was going through cancer treatment. She wasn’t able to be around fresh flowers, so Wanda though silk flowers would be a great option, and she was right. She gave me a few parameters and her budget and I got to work designing a custom arrangement for her.

Wanda enjoyed the simple process so much that a few weeks later she placed an order for a graduation gift that would double as dorm room decor and a sympathy arrangement to be delivered after a funeral.

This graduation arrangement would need to be bright and fun for a young lady heading off to college. I used corals, pinks and a touch of yellow. Wanda requested some pinks and Baby’s Breath, so I was sure to include those elements. The geometric accent vase makes for a floral arrangement that is both modern and feminine.

A sympathy arrangement can be bright and striking, but for something that stays in the home, a more subtle look seemed appropriate. I used a blend of mauve, pink, and ivory flowers with greenery in a more classically styled vase for an arrangement meant to be a sweet reminder of a loved one lost.

This last arrangement was a recent order from Wanda for her Great Aunt who needed a little cheering up in her care facility. With all of the restrictions happening, Wanda wanted a bright spot in her Great Aunt’s room. A custom silk flower arrangement is a great way to do just that!
