Salmon, Dusty Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, , ,

Dusty blue was a hot color in 2022 and I fully expect it to stick around through 2023. You may have seen it on my blog paired with yellow, blush pink, burgundy and even lavender! Today, I get to share a pairing that you might not expect, but as you’ll soon see, it’s an amazing combo. Salmon and dusty blue for the win!

Let’s take a look at these gorgeous wedding photos from Paige’s wedding day. These were taken by the very talented Palms and Lace Photo.

Here’s our lovely bride, Paige! Her loose, round, handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of ivory Sophia Roses, white Anemone, ivory Cabbage Roses with peach centers, salmon Delphinium, white Larkspur, dusty blue Roses, Seeded and small leaf Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids wore beautiful dusty blue dresses and carried a mix of the bridal flowers in smaller clutch style bouquets. We wrapped them matching dusty blue ribbon to add a little more color.

The groom’s boutonniere incorporated both main colors while we simplified the groomsmen to have a white Anemone and a touch of the salmon Delphinium.

Now that you have all the details, enjoy these lovely images from their ceremony!

“Love is Blooming was able to give me exactly what I was looking for for my wedding! I shopped around for a while, but no florist could guarantee I could get the colors and flowers I wanted, and I wouldn’t be able to see them in advance. Love is Blooming gave me the exact colors and worked with me throughout the entire process to create what I wanted so that there would be no surprises on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend working with her!”
— Paige | Utah

Paige also added to her order some small centerpieces. We featured the Cabbage Roses, salmon Delphinium and Eucalyptus for simple and pretty pieces. She purchases vases she liked and these mini bouquets just had to be dropped in before the big day.

Thanks again to Paige for sharing her big day with us! Are you looking for a unique spin on a well loved color for your wedding color scheme? Let’s talk!

Bold and Bright Spring Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s bride, Kimberly, filled out the Free Bride’s Checklist and also included links to bouquets that had caught her eye. What I noticed right away were the bright colors, varying textures of the flowers and sunflowers! I got a little excited about her designs and sent her a bunch of ideas. Then, I looked at everything a second time and sent her a whole bunch more options. What we landed on is bold, bright and a little spunky. Let’s take a look at the professional wedding photos by Amy Galimore Photography

Kimberly’s bouquet was a loose and lush round handtied style bouquet with sunflowers, purple Hydrangea, magenta Cabbage Roses, orange and pink Ranunculus, blue Prunus, orange Cosmos, blue Dogwood, yellow Freesia, lavender seeds, and light green Roses. You almost have to look at it twice to see everything that’s in there!

The groom’s boutonniere was a mini Sunflower, purple Hydrangea, and pink and orange Ranunculus. We tied it off with twine to have a similar texture to the burlap that all the bouquets were wrapped with.

The lovely bridesmaids wore purple dresses and those bright tones really popped against such a rich backdrop!

“Erin did a fantastic job with the flowers for my wedding! She was quick to respond and came up with beautiful combinations! She incorporated everything I asked for and more! Highly recommend!”
— Kimberly | South Carolina

Kimberly also wanted to incorporate matching florals to the large arbor for their outdoor ceremony. She opted for two altar arrangements to attach to the sides of the arbor. The swags matched the bridal bouquet flowers on a bed of eucalyptus.

Dusty Rose and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love to share all my weddings, but the soft and romantic color palettes will always have my heart! Jennifer’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of white and dusty pink flowers with a touch of greenery. I was so excited to show her a few new options I had found including the dusty pink Lilac. Those lacey little flowers added so much texture with just a kiss of color. Let’s take a look at these wonderful images by Nikki Joachim Photography to see what Jennifer and I came up with together!

Jennifer specified that she wanted a loose look to the bouquets with space between things. She decided on the round handtied style, and I made some suggestions for a full bouquet that wouldn’t mean every flower would be packed in tightly. Her bouquet consisted of champagne Roses, ivory Ranunculus, dusty pink Lilac, white seeds, Lamb's Ear, white Larkspur, ivory Garden Roses, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and small leaf Eucalyptus.

Jennifer’s bridesmaid carried a matching style bouquet, just a bit smaller. The boutonnieres combined the ivory flowers and bits of the dusty pink Lilac with greenery to match the ladies.

“Erin was easy to work with and finished the project much earlier than I expected. I just showed her a few photos of what I liked and she created something beautiful with them.”
— Jennifer | Minnesota

At the altar was a table that I designed a swag/garland combination piece for. The center was a spray of Roses, Lilac and greens with long Eucalyptus pieces trailing from both sides. It filled the table nicely without being over the top. The best part is, they were able to use at there reception site for their sweetheart table as well.

Peach, White, and Succulent Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

While it’s too late for a Christmas gift idea for this year, a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers is a great idea for an anniversary, Valentine’s, birthday or ‘just because’ gift in 2023. Here’s a great example of a custom bouquet recreation for a local client. Spencer sent me a few photos of his wife’s bouquet, and I got to work finding the perfect flowers and greens to recreate it. Let’s take a look at the recreation and the original bouquet, side-by-side. Photos of the original bouquet are by the very talented Jordan Blanchard Photography.

This stunning bouquet was a mix of peach Cabbage Roses, white Hydrangea, pale peach Gardenia, white Astilbe, Succulents, Eucalyptus Seeds, Silver Dollar and Sword Eucalyptus in a round, handtied style.

peach-white-succulent-custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation
“My wife and I were living in New Orleans when we were married while we were renovating our house. After our wedding, our house came together, but her bouquet from it fell apart. Damaged from construction debris, dust, and eventually a move to Minnesota, we lost something we expected to cherish for a long time. We recently celebrated our four year anniversary and when my wife told me this years theme, I knew exactly what I wanted to get her. I searched online for bouquet recreations and stumbled on Erin. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and clear in her communication. Most importantly, what she created is perfect. It’s hard to tell the difference between the original bouquet and the recreation.”
— Spencer | Minnesota

Spencer was able to send me some awesome detail shots of the bouquet that allowed me to really examine it for all the details.

The original bouquet had a small wrapping of off white satin ribbon with a overlay of lace. While I wasn’t able to get the exact lace, I found a close enough piece that mimicked the original bouquet.

Custom Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

, ,

Back in June, I shared Sarah’s custom silk bridal bouquet I made to match her existing bridesmaid bouquets. It was a lovely mix of purple and white flowers with a touch of navy. Her silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round hand-tied style full of 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. Today I get to share a few photos from Sarah’s big day provided by her photographer Emily Anderson Photography. Check her out here on Instagram and here on Facebook.

“Erin was wonderful to work with. I sent her some ideas I had in mind for my bridal bouquet and colors. She sent me a mock up super fast and was great at changing out flowers I didn’t like. I loved my bouquet and so happy with how it turned out. I was so afraid of my flowers looking fake and I can contest it was absolutely beautiful and far from looking fake. I would recommend Erin and go to her again for any floral need.”

Jewel Tone and Woodland Theme Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’m so excited to share Sarah’s beautiful woodland themed silk wedding flowers that had bright pops of color and jewel tones throughout. These amazing images are from the very talented JLA Photography out of Virginia. Let’s take a look at this special wedding day!

Sarah and her groom’s venue had wood tones throughout so she really wanted everything to pop against the backdrop while also complementing the berry pink bridesmaid dresses. Her inspiration photos had various types of flowers and colors and once we narrowed down which colors we wanted to include, we came up with a really striking combination for her bouquet. Sarah’s whimsical woodland bouquet was a loose handtied style with navy Delphinium, berry Peonies and Dahlia, spice orange Ranunculus, eggplant Poppies, blue Clematis, white seeds, trailing greenery, twigs and bright pink Lotus flowers. The Lotus had special meaning to Sarah and because she chose silk wedding flowers, I could actually make this happen. In nature, Lotus flowers grow in water, so cutting them and placing in a bouquet would mean they would wilt rather quickly.

“I stumbled upon the Love Is Blooming blog through a simple Google search and fell in love with the beautiful jewel tone creations by Erin. I knew I wanted something similar for my August 2022 wedding. Erin was extremely responsive, answering all my questions and providing thoughtful suggestions. She was able to stay within my budget and incorporated a woodland aesthetic to match our style. I enjoyed watching her creativity flow and she graciously included the personalizations I requested to make it one-of-a-kind.

The final result was a collection of flowers that had meaningful symbolism perfectly curated by Love Is Blooming. Similar flowers were used in the bouts, mother of the bride corsages and bridesmaid bouquets.
Magenta Peonies-love, honor, romance
Eggplant Poppies-consolation, remembrance
Spice Ranunculus-charm, having a crush
Navy Delphinium-cheerfulness & goodwill
Plum Dahlia-beauty, commitment, and kindness
Blue Clematis-ambition, aspiration
Pink Lotus- purity, rebirth, strength (my favorite flower and in honor of a dear therapy horse, Lotus, who passed in Dec. 2021)

Thank you, Erin, for the beautiful work!”
— Sarah | Virginia

I just love the way those dresses pop against all the greenery!

The bridesmaid carried complementary but very different bouquets from Sarah. She had previously bought some really pretty pre-made bouquets but they needed a little something special. I was able to add in a few more flowers to dress them up to match. The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of white and ivory peonies, roses and Dahlia. I found Tear Roses in a deep berry pink color that were a great match to the dresses. For a little more texture and color we also add in some pink Waxflower and finished with a little bit of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

Trying to figure out how to do a woodland theme without adding a Gnome to your bouquet? Silk flowers are the perfect way to find the right mix of flowers, be confident in the arrangements you’ll be carrying on your wedding day, and keep your budget in check.

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

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.”

Her sister’s bouquet was a bigger challenge. It had lots of texture, a wider variety of flowers and greens it a very unique shaped bouquet. It included Cymbidium Orchids, Anemone, Thistle, Stock flowers, burgundy Roses, Hypericum Berries, Kangaroo Paw, Queen Anne’s Lace, Eucalyptus, Grass and Bunny Tails.

“She did such an amazing job! I am honestly very impressed with the amount of work and details!”

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!

Thanks again to my awesome bride, for her version of vibrant fall silk wedding flowers and to Dayna Quimby Photography for these lovely images. If you are looking for a different take on fall silk wedding flowers, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

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.

Custom Silk Winter Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I hate to talk about winter when spring in Minnesota hasn’t really shown up yet. As I write this, we are on day 4 of rain, snow, and clouds. But, it’s never too early to think about your winter wedding and how you want to incorporate silk wedding flowers into your big day.

Darlena is my hero! She had a February wedding, in Duluth (it gets real cold up there by the way)! She had a vision for her wedding and bridal bouquet, and she made it happen. I was lucky enough to be able to provide the floral accents to her beautiful wedding. Her photographer was a friend and gave permission to share photos from the wedding. Let’s take a look!

Darlena’s bridal bouquet was a mix of white Roses, Carnations, Anemone, Queen Anne’s Lace and Foxtail. The greenery was a mix of Cedar, Olive Greens and Seeded Eucalyptus. And then to add a little something extra there were gold dipped Pinecones. This bouquet was a result of a few inspiration photos Darlena sent and working together to come up with a perfect custom look for her.

I got to make these really fun and classy aisle arrangements that featured big pinecones, roses and carnations and pine and cedar branches. The simple white ribbon finished the look perfectly!

“Erin was FANTASTIC to work with! She took what I saw on Pinterest and brought it to life! Definitely worth going to her! Thanks so much Erin!”

Rust, Taupe, and Burgundy Fall Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

Remember when I shared Tiara’s wedding flowers with you a few weeks ago? Her wedding flowers prominently featured taupe in her color scheme along with burgundy. Here’s another beautiful wedding that incorporated taupe along with rust, peach, burgundy and ivory in this gorgeous outdoor wedding.

A huge thank you to Lisa Sherwood Photography for these breathtaking photos!

The bridal bouquet was a combination of rust Roses, apricot Roses, peach Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia, taupe Roses and Orchids, sage Fern, Sword and Seeded Eucalyptus. Her bouquet was a full, moody, but lively round handtied style bridal bouquet.

Her altar was picture perfect, so we had just a few custom altar arrangements to complement that beautiful, natural backdrop for their day.

This fall wedding is a great example of another way to “do” fall flowers. We incorporated some of the favorite fall colors (burgundy and orange), but added some surprising elements like lots of texture and taupe flowers. If you are looking for a unique take on a seasonal look, silk wedding flowers might be just your thing! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist to share your ideas with me!

“Erin was absolutely the best to work with. After I reached out to her about recreating my sisters wedding bouquet, she responded back almost immediately with answers to all my questions. The final product was way better than I ever could have imagined. It was beautiful, solid, and looked exactly like my sisters bouquet, even down to the rhinestones in the flowers and the pearls in the wrap. It was absolutely perfect. Erin kept in contact with me throughout the whole thing with pictures and tracking info when it was sent. I was amazed with how fast she made it and sent it. The flowers came in perfectly intact and unsquished. I am so glad I found her and I absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs flowers for a wedding or a recreation done. I am so beyond happy with how it came out. Thank you so much Erin!”

Custom Green and White Silk Hand-Tied Bridal Bouquet - Reveal

, ,

There is nothing more classic than white wedding flowers with greenery. Colors come and go in popularity, but I probably do just as many white wedding arrangements every year as I do ones with color. Sarah’s custom silk wedding flowers were simple, but so pretty. It allowed all the dresses to shine as well as their beautiful outdoor location! Today, I get to share some beautiful images from HL Photo. Check them out on Instagram (@hl.photo1 on Instagram) or Facebook (HL PHOTO).

Sarah’s beautiful round handtied bridal bouquet was a mix of white Peonies, white Sophia Roses, white seeds, Heart Eucalyptus, gray standard Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

She chose the clutch style bridesmaid bouquets. Despite there only being one flower featured, you can see that there was plenty of fullness with the mix of greenery.

Interested in seeing other weddings where green and white were the colors? Check these out:

-Featuring Delicate Blooms

-With Larger Blooms

-A Recreation in Green and White

-Ivory and White Silk Wedding Flowers

Such a beautiful location and I feel so lucky to have designed custom silk wedding flower arrangements that got to be a part of it.

One of the things I advise to any bride is to incorporate the bouquets into your reception decor and this is a perfect example of that. Sarah bought simple vases and was able to use the bridesmaid bouquets for additional decor on their desert table.
