Winter Wedding Silk Wedding Flowers Review

I’m so excited to share Emily’s beautiful Scottish Norwegian inspired wedding with you! A few weeks ago, I shared their Wild Winter silk wedding flowers. You may remember her beautiful silk bridal bouquet that included Eucalyptus, Thistle, Anemone, Boxwood, Pussywillow, Mistletoe and Freesia. Take a look at these flowers in action!

“Erin was so amazingly wonderful to work with. She is so creative, patient, and kind. Everything turned out beautifully! Our wedding was last week and i think my bouquet was even prettier than me!!! She was able to work in a lot of special requests for a very personal piece. The bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres were lovely too! And on top of that, everything was so timely! Thank you so much, Erin!”

Burgundy and Blush Centerpieces and Silk Wedding Flowers

Here’s another great example of burgundy and blush silk wedding flowers. And if you check back later this week, you’ll get to see these babies in action!

Samantha really loved the Amaranthus seen in some of my other weddings so we found a great way to work it into not only her bridal bouquet, but the centerpieces for her reception. Amaranthus is really quite a statement “flower” and is so unique because of the shape and the texture. It’s the perfect addition to a modified cascading bridal bouquet like Samantha’s.

Roses, Dahlia, Amaranthus, Cherry Blossom, Lamb’s Ear, Seeded Eucalyptus

For the centerpieces, I designed two different styles. Both included ivory and blush roses, seeded Eucalyptus, dyed Pine Branch and Amaranthus. One style had ivory Amaranthus like the photo below and the other had burgundy Amaranthus. They sat very regally atop Eiffel Tower Vases at a height that made ya look, but didn’t get in the way of guests conversing across the tables.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets with the same flowers, minus the Amaranthus in loose, handtied styles. One thing to be aware of when you choose asymmetrical and looser style bouquets is that each one will be slightly different. Part of that is because they are handmade, and part of that is because some flowers will lay a little differently when spread out from the rest.

Later this week, I’ve got photos from Samantha and her talented photographer to share with you. What are you thinking of this modified cascade style bridal bouquet? If you think it would be a good fit for you, contact me today to see if it will fit with your style!

Champagne, Ivory, Gray and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers

Haley’s gorgeous wedding flowers were so fun to design. She loved the idea of incorporating some champagne wedding flowers into her silk bridal bouquet to match her dress which was ivory and champagne with beading. Her guys were going to be all in gray and the bridesmaids would be in dusty blue, so we wanted to find ways to make it all go together for a very soft and lush look.

This modified cascade style bridal bouquet was stunning. The dahlias, roses, baby’s breath, lamb’s ear and gray winter berries were just the right amount of texture and soft colors to stand out in a crowd.

View fullsize

The bridesmaid bouquets were almost all ivory with roses and baby’s breath but at the last minute Haley wanted to add in some gray Brunia Berries for a little contrast. We used the lamb’s ear again to soften it up around the edges so they weren’t too round of bouquets. Haley really wanted the bouquets to look looser and less formal in their shape. So adding the lamb’s ear at opposite edges and asymmetrically really did the trick.

The cute little toss bouquet matched the bridal bouquet.

Champagne can be a tricky color, not too peachy, or pinky or pale; just the right amount of color. Maybe your dress isn’t the traditional bridal white. Not a problem! Contact me today to work on design ideas.

Wild Winter Wedding with Silk Wedding Flowers

I thought this post would be a good kickoff to the official first day of winter! With Christmas right around the corner, I wanted to show you something that captures the spirit of winter without being all, “Hey, I’m a Christmas bouquet!”

They say snowflakes are all different, so why can’t wedding flowers? I get the luxury of coming up with custom designs for my brides. There are no books of silk wedding flower packages to limit you to. If you can dream it, I can do it!

I feel like Emily’s flowers fall into this category. She wanted a wild, winter look for her December wedding flowers with twigs, branches, pussy willow, mistletoe and pops of jewel tones to accent her green wedding dress.

Her bouquet was another “may appear bigger in real life” bouquet that is just magical. The blue thistle pays homage to her fiance’s Scottish background, and the bits of burgundy Eucalyptus keep this bouquet on the warmer side of becoming too frosty.

Herer’s the toss bouquet that matches the bridal bouquet in a simpler style.

We went a little different route with the bridesmaid bouquets. Instead of them closely matching the bridal bouquet, we used more of the burgundy with some Calla lilies, along with the white Freesia, blue Thistle, Boxwood, Pussy Willow, and Mistletoe.

View fullsize

The boutonnieres and corsages used a little bit of everything so that we could customize some of the personal flowers based on who would be wearing them.

Bright Fall Silk Wedding Flowers Review

This beautiful bride combined fall silk wedding flowers to her bridal bouquet for a colorful and fun wedding. It was a fun project to work on. Check out some of her photos and more!

“Where do I begin. Erin worked very hard to source all of the most beautiful and realistic looking flowers I have ever seen. These are not flowers from Michael’s. She not only went above and beyond to make sure my bouquet was the vision I had in mind, she was able to see beyond that. When there was not the exact holly berry I was wanting, she found something exactly like it in quality. The thing I loved most was that she did not put a whole lot of work back on me. I had been in touch with other florists who wanted me to basically map out how the bouquet should look. Not Erin, because she is a visionary with floral details. I am so glad I chose to work with Erin. Not only did I have a beautiful bouquet for my special day; I now have a beautiful bouquet for every day. Thank you again Erin, for helping to make my wedding day dreams come true. Your bouquets are nothing short of spectacular!”

Whimsical Silk Wedding Flowers

One of my new favorite finds over on Instagram is following people that make dollhouses (I’ve always loved miniature things, and I’m proud of it). What’s so amazing about them is that in some of the photos you can’t tell it’s a dollhouse! Keep that in mind when I show you this silk bridal bouquet because sometimes photos don’t give an accurate picture of the size of something. In this case, this baby is actually much bigger than the photo does it justice. Stretching almost 2.5 feet wide, this whimsical silk bridal bouquet was absolutely breathtaking. Lexi worked closely with me to nail down the specific colors she wanted in the bouquet. I worked with her requests and a few style photos she sent to come up with this design. Behold!

Here’s the rundown of what went into this showstopper:

-Ranunculus in white and coral
-Roses in mauve
-Peonies in hot pink and yellow
-Dogwood in dusty blue
-Freesia in white and red
-Skimmia berries in dark blue
-Fall berries in burnt orange
-Fern and ficus greenery

View fullsize

The bridesmaid bouquets were much more typical sized and had less of a variety of the flowers from the bridal bouquet. These summer bouquets were magical and I can only imagine how amazing they would look for spring, summer or even fall!

Lexi wanted to include her flower girls in the grand scheme of her floral designs so I came up with these sweet little floral crowns that matched the bridal bouquet and added some brightness to their aisle walk. Thanks to my daughter for being a willing model;)

If you’ve been looking for a little whimsy in your wedding flowers, or perhaps a less common shape like Lexi’s bouquet, silk flowers are where it’s at. If we don’t get the shape quite right, we can make adjustments so there are no surprises on your wedding day. Well at least no floral surprises. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote!

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers

Burgundy and Blush might have been someone’s million dollar idea this year. Even though I don’t know who decided it would be a hot color combo for bridal bouquets this year, I do know that I’ve loved all the different designs that have come out of it for silk wedding flowers here in my corner of Minnesota.

View fullsize

Anna wanted mostly the wine/burgundy in her bouquets with just a hint of blush. Her bridal bouquet was the modified cascade style draping, texture, and saturated colors. Basically she had a dreamy, romantic bridal bouquet with Dahlia, Calla Lilies, Cherry Blossom, Ranunculus, Babys’ Breath, and Eucalyptus. All the bouquets were finished up with a lovely burlap with lace overlay. It added to the rustic charm that Anna was hoping for.

The bridesmaids carried similar style bouquets with some slight changes that would allow the bridal bouquet to stand out a little more. The toss bouquet had the same variety of flowers as the bridal bouquet, just smaller and more throwable…throwier…aerodynamic!

Bridesmaid and Toss Bouquet

Here are some of the boutonnieres using the every classic and trust-worthy Calla Lily in a dark burgundy. These guys never let you down on your wedding day, especially because they are silk and you never have to worry about them getting crushed in all those bro-hugs or wilting in our unpredictable Minnesota weather.

White, Green, Gold and Succulents in Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

I’m convinced that the greenery trend is sticking around for a while. I keep finding new and interesting ways to incorporate greenery and of course there’s always succulents! But there’s also Lamb’s ear and Berries and Seeded Eucalyptus! So many options, so let’s just go ahead and use them all. Sounds like it would be a lot, right? Take a look at these gorgeous silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquets to see what I’m talking about.

This white, gold and green themed wedding was so fun to do. Every arrangement was a little different but classy all the way. We didn’t want to overdo it with the gold, so a sheer gold ribbon was the perfect touch to tie off the bouts and corsages. The bouquets all had a beautiful burlap and lace wrap on the stems to complete the rustic charm.
