Wedding Bouquet Recreation with Bling
I have an awesome bouquet recreation in silk flowers to show you today that includes some really beautiful bling! Amy reached out to me about recreating her daughter’s lovely wedding bouquet. You can see in the photos below from their photographer Royal Studio- Chicago that it was a stunning mix of white and deep red Roses along with some dusty pink Roses, Spray Roses, Baby’s Breath and some white Caspia. The cool thing about her daughter’s bouquet is that it incorporated small gold brooches with rhinestones and a large blue and gold jeweled brooch that was a show stopper. Amy was able to send both of them to me to include the recreation. Let’s take a look at the side by side to see them both together!
“Erin did an incredible job with the re-creation of my daughter’s bridal bouquet-very impressed!”
If you are looking for a meaningful gift for someone you love, or just want a pretty reminder of your own wedding day, custom bridal bouquet recreations in silk flowers may be just the thing. Read more here about the process!
Cabernet, Taupe and Nude Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review
I am SO excited to share this moody and dreamy and lovely wedding today! Local bride, Abby, had a color palette that I’ve seen rise in popularity the last two years: Cabernet (burgundy), navy and gold. But we didn’t want to hit those head on in the custom bouquets. Instead, we featured that deep burgundy, taupe, a little touch of nude and greenery for bouquets that were lush and textured and really stood out against the cabernet bridesmaid dresses and the mens’ suits. Let’s take a look at Abby’s stunning silk wedding flowers. Photos by the very talented Katy Greseth of Capture Glory Photography. You can find her on FB @KatyGreseth or IG @katygreseth.
Here’s our happy couple! Abby worked closely with me to pick out just the right colors for her bouquet. The bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of nude and burgundy Garden Roses, taupe Garden Roses, white seeds and lots of Seeded Eucalyptus. We tied it off with some sheer, gold ribbon to give it just the smallest bit of shimmer and tie in her color scheme even more.
The groom’s boutonniere featured a burgundy Garden Rose, taupe Rose bud, some seeds and Eucalyptus. We used the same sheer gold ribbon to finish off the look.
And because this bouquet is just too pretty, here’s a few more shots of it!
“Erin was GREAT to work with! Easy to communicate with, timely with replies, and the flowers turned out beyond perfect. They photograph so well! Would highly recommend working with her.”
The groomsmen had similar boutonnieres, simplified without the rose bud. It made for a cohesive and classic look.
The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets that incorporated one of each of the 3 colors of flowers, seeds and Eucalyptus. Even though clutch bouquets are smaller, you can use greenery to give a fuller look.
One of the many great things about silk wedding flowers is that set up is a snap. You don’t have to pay for a professional to come get things laid out perfectly and they will look great for your entire day. I wanted to show some examples of Abby’s use of silk flowers for wedding decor. Here you can see some clusters of flowers and greens aisle arrangements. These can also be hung on ribbon loops if your chairs allow.
Abby had also order two custom pieces meant to sit on top of wine barrels for the ceremony. Unfortunately, due to rain that day, they had to move things inside. But as you can see, it was a beautiful place to exchange vows and the wine barrel arrangements worked perfectly on stands next to the fireplace.
These custom pieces had a little more height and width to them than a standard bouquet, but had a flat bottom to sit on whatever surface was needed!
At your reception, I always suggest having your bouquets do double duty at your head table or somewhere else in your reception venue. Just buy vases, space them out along the head table and as each of you and your bridal party enter, drop a bouquet in the vase! It’s as easy as that!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Silk Flowers for Vow Renewal - Reveal and Review
Sweet bride, Emily, reached out to me about recreating her beautiful bridal bouquet in silk flowers. She has an upcoming vow renewal and wanted to be able to carry a replica of her bouquet for such a special day. She sent me photos from J + S Photography and I got to work looking for the perfect combination of flowers to recreate her bouquet.
The round handtied style bouquet was a mix of cream Hydrangea, white and nude Roses, Baby’s Breath and Seeded Eucalyptus. Emily’s bouquet is a good example of getting creative to achieve the right look. In this case, I couldn’t find Hydrangea that were more in the budding stage, so I used a combination of Hydrangea and trimmed down Lilac placed in the middle to get a similar look.
“I love the bouquet. It is exactly what I was hoping for and I am so excited to use it for our vow renewal as well as to just have it as a keepsake!”

“My original plan was to dry my bridal bouquet but it turned out not that great. When I searched for solutions on Google, I came across this site!

She also was so understanding about me wanting to wait to order and was available when I was ready!”

Ivory, Champagne and Burnt Orange Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review
Every few years, a new hot wedding color comes on the scene. A few brave brides go for it, and pretty soon, it’s taking the wedding world by storm. That color is currently burnt orange or terra cotta or some iteration of orange. What’s cool about orange is…well, it’s warmth! It can bring to mind a sunset or being fireside or the warm fuzzies you get when you think of fall coming after a blazing hot summer. Today’s wedding is a lovely example of incorporating ivory, champagne and burnt orange into custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at the professional photos bride Katrina sent me from her photographer at Brittany Nicole Photography.
Here’s our knockout bride, Katrina! Here loose, round handtied style bouquet was a mix of peach Cabbage Roses, nude pink Roses, burnt orange Roses, beige Baby's breath, champagne Peonies, cream Cosmos, Lamb's ear, some pink seeds, sage greenery and a mix of Eucalyptus and Olive greenery. We included texture, variety, shades of peaches, champagne and burnt orange and a touch of nude pink.
The bridesmaids were burnt orange dresses that an embossed floral pattern on them, which I thought was such a unique touch and added visual interest to their whole look! Their bouquets were also loose, round handtied style bouquets with the same mix as the bridal bouquet, but with an extra blush pink Rose added in.
The groom wore a navy suit, so his burnt orange Rose with a Cosmos, Baby’s Breath and greenery really popped!
We went with a nude pink rose for the groomsmen, in a similar style but different, just like their gray suits!
I absolutely love the style of Katrina’s cake with it’s rustic vibe with the rough buttercream. The floral clusters for the layers brought it all together.
“Erin does an INCREDIBLE job! She is so kind and just truly an incredible person! She is so easy to work with and really brings your dreams to reality! She created our flower arrangements BETTER than I could have ever imagined and made the whole process just 100000x easier for the stressed out bride! 1000/10 would recommend to literally everyone in need of arrangements!”
Katrina wanted a low spray for her head table, which worked perfectly with their custom sign that incorporated their last names. Yes, their last names really are Human and Peoples, a perfect match right??
A huge thank you to Katrina for sharing photos from their big day! Do you love the idea of incorporating orange into your wedding flowers?

Cinderella Blue in Destination Silk Wedding Flowers Part 2 - Reveal & Review
Earlier this week, I shared with you Alysya’s Cinderella blue custom silk wedding flowers for her destination wedding at Disney! Today, I get to share more magical photos from her wedding day, inside the park! She sent me more photos from her Disney photographer, Ty Boyce of Disney Fine Art Photography. Not only do we get to see the beautiful flowers and our beautiful bride again, but we get to see them in some iconic locations. Let’s take a look at the magic!
“My husband and I had a small destination wedding at Disney World and Erin provided our personal floral. We ordered my bouquet, two smaller bouquets for the bridesmaids, the grooms boutonnière, and two boutonnières for the groomsmen. Floral was tricky for our wedding due to Disney’s strict requirements and the fact that we lived in another state. After looking into many options we decided to work with Erin of Love is Blooming and I’m so glad we did! The floral arrangements were so easy to travel with. One reason that silk floral worked better for us was that we had a separate photo session inside the Disney parks two days after our wedding. Most brides that do this have to purchase two bouquets or request to have their real flowers freshened up for a hefty fee. My bouquet didn’t need that! I received many compliments and one of our guests started giving me tips on preserving my flowers when I had to tell her they were silk. The bridesmaid’s bouquets also made great gifts that the bridesmaids were able to keep and I will always be able to keep my own wedding bouquet forever! I highly recommend working with Love is Blooming.”
I love that one of the busiest (and happiest) places on Earth is so quiet and serene in this photo. What a fun experience to have the whole place to yourself with just your new spouse and the carousel horses to keep you company.
A huge thank you to Alysya for sending me twice the fun with these photos. If you are planning a destination wedding that needs some magic in your florals, custom silk wedding flowers are a great option. They are budget friendly, you know exactly what you are getting ahead of time and they can bring your magical vision to life. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Here’s our lovely bride Alysya! Her bridal bouquet was a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of ivory Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, white Seeds, blue Thistle and Heather and Seeded Eucalyptus. We also brought the blue in with satin ribbon on the handle of the bouquet.
The bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets with a similar mix of flowers, but we didn’t include the Thistle that was just for Alysya’s bouquet. The touches of blue complemented their dresses perfectly!

Burgundy, White and Green Winter Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review
I know it’s just newly spring, but if you looked around outside here in Minnesota, it still looks like a winter wonderland. So in the spirit of sucking it up, here’s a lovely winter wedding to share with you! Bride Kasey was looking for burgundy, white and green winter silk wedding flowers. I love to do winter bouquets because you can do some unique mixes of greenery, and it’s always a fun challenge to keep them from looking too Christmas-y. Kasey sent me some lovely photos by her very talented photographer Sapphire Heart Photography. Let’s take a look!
Kasey’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of white Garden and Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia and Astilbe, white Seeds, Dusty Miller, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Cedar. It was lush, a little wild, and perfect for her wedding day.
She wanted her bouquet to stand out from the rest, so for the bridesmaids we simplified the look to include only white Garden and Cabbage Roses with seeds and the same mix of greenery. They really popped against their dark green velvet dresses!
“Erin is amazing! Communicative, and punctual. She really takes the time to figure out exactly what you want. I recommend her to EVERYONE I know getting married. You will not be disappointed with her work! Just check the photos and you will see how incredible she is!”
Are you looking for winter wedding flowers that don’t include Poinsettia’s or Pine? Or are you working around another holiday season that you don’t want to match too closely to? Silk flowers are a great option because we can talk through the designs, make some tweaks and get things just right with flowers in hand weeks ahead of your big day.

Lavender Bouquet Recreation with Accents - Reveal and Review
Today, I get to share with you a lovely lavender bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers with some unique accents. Rich reached out to me and sent me a few photos, taken by a family friend, from their wedding day. His wife’s bouquet was a mix of white and lavender Roses, ribbon accents and small silver/pearl bulbs mixed in. Let’s take a look at the recreation!
While I always do my very best to match as closely as possible, sometimes there are slight changes that have to be made. As in this case, I wasn’t able to find ribbon in the same striped look in the right color. I did find a color match that was acceptable to Rich and he felt it was a good representation of the look of the bouquet overall.
“Erin did an awesome job creating a replication of my wife’s bouquet! My wife loves it!

Neutral Boho Chic Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review
The last few years, the Boho trend has really taken off. Of course, it can mean a lot of different things to different people, but today’s wedding is a great example of this trend! Jessica was looking for custom silk wedding flowers in a neutral color palette to complement the colors in the bridal party’s attire. Let’s take a look at her show stopping arrangements in these photos by Sweet Apple Creative!
Here’s our beautiful bride Jessica! Her dress had so much detail, and it was important that her bouquet matched in style and texture. In her round handtied style bridal bouquet, we incorporated brown and nude Garden Roses, white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white Fern, white Ruscus and Pampas Grasses.
Her groom’s suit and son’s suits were in her matching color palette and Jessica chose to feature the brown rose with white and cream accents.
I just love the softness that his velvet bowtie and pocket square bring to the look!
“Erin is absolutely amazing! I told her my vision and she executed it! She was professional, she communicated with me, she made the flower arrangements in a timely manner and she even sent me pictures along the way to make sure I liked what she had so far. I was extremely happy with my bouquet. The bouquet made my look come together. It was the icing on the cake. I definitely would recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the future!”
Jessica had one bridesmaid that I created a smaller handtied style bouquet for. It incorporated the same mix of flowers as her bouquet. It was a great accent to her beautiful bridesmaid dress!

Burgundy and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review
Last week’s post featured a shade of blue that’s coming on the scene and picking up speed. Today, I want to share with you a wedding that features a tried and true combo: burgundy and navy blue! I’ve done quite a few weddings with this combination over the last few years as more and more couples chose navy instead of black for suits and tuxes. And today’s wedding is a great example of that. Let’s take a look at these very pretty images from Beauridge Photography.
Here’s my gorgeous bride Brittany who was so generous to share her pictures with me. Her loose, round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses and Dahlia, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus.
“Erin was amazing to work with. The flowers turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! She always stayed in contact with me throughout the process and she was super affordable. Several of my bridesmaids have their flowers displayed in their homes. I love that I can keep my bridal bouquet for years to come. Thank you Erin for everything!”
The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same greenery, Baby’s breath and featured on burgundy Dahlia and one navy Ranunculus. It allowed Brittany’s bouquet to stand out even more!
The groom wore a boutonniere of a burgundy rose, navy Ranunculus and mixed greenery.
Brittany wanted some cake flowers and opted to order a loose assortment of flowers and greens for her baker to place on the cake. It is a great option if you are still decided on a topper or just want to have options!

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 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 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.”
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.
“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 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.”
