,

Danielle saw these Royal Blue, Light Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers I made several years ago and knew that’s what she wanted!

It included one extra special member, her husky! I created a matching custom floral dog collar for their furry family member. Let’s take a look at some photos her friends took.

Galaxy Orchid Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I love the classic nature of today’s wedding reveal! Lindsey had a clear vision for her bridal bouquet that included stunning Galaxy Orchids. If you have never seen them, they are blue and purple orchids that are pretty magical looking. Let’s take a look at LIndsey’s classic church wedding, featuring her custom silk wedding flowers. The photographs are provided by Bellagala Photography.

Here is our picture perfect couple! Lindsey’s bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of white Garden Roses, purple Picasso Calla Lilies and those eye catching blue and purple Galaxy Orchids. The bouquet was wrapped with a classic white satin ribbon.

Lindsey ordered clutch size bridesmaid bouquets that incorporated the same mix of flowers but in a handtied style.

“I absolutely LOVE my “Love is Blooming” bouquets! They made our wedding pictures look so beautiful! And Erin was wonderful to work with! She really listened to what I was looking for in my bouquets and was able to customize pricing to fit my budget. I also love that I get to keep my flowers long after the wedding and continue to enjoy their beauty! I would highly recommend “Love is Blooming” to anyone looking for flowers for their event!”

Plum, Dusty Blue and Lavender Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Ashley and Sean’s wedding photos were so fun to look through! Their colors were a dreamy mix of plum, dusty blue, lavender and a few shades of purple thrown in to balance everything out. They chose a variety of flowers and textures to fill out the bouquets and included twine for a rustic touch for their December wedding. Let’s take a look at their custom silk wedding flowers featured in these amazing photos by Wild Trail Studio!

Let’s start with a bang and take a look at Ashley’s bridal bouquet. Her round style bouquet was a mix of plum Roses, lavender Ranunculus, Lavender, light lavender Garden Roses, larger Peonies and smaller Peonies, Forget Me Nots and small touches of greenery. It has depth, texture, color, softness…. all the things that look great in a bridal bouquet!

The bridesmaids wore plum dresses, so we left that color out of their bouquets but included all of the other elements from Ashley’s bouquet.

The groom’s boutonniere was a plum Rose, tiny lavender Tea Roses, Forget-Me-Nots and a touch of greenery. The twine gives it a unique and finished look.

“We highly recommend Love Is Blooming to anyone looking for alternative flowers for their wedding. Erin was amazing to work with. She was very responsive throughout the process, knowledgeable about what flowers might fit our vision, and made the most beautiful flowers! We got boutonnieres, corsages, flowers for an arch, and also for the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets. We had so many people tell us how gorgeous they were and even insisted on actually touching them because they couldn’t believe they weren’t real. They were absolutely perfect for our winter wedding and now get to be a timeless memory that we can keep in our home.”
— Ashley | Minnesota

This is a great look at one of the wrist corsages for a mother. Ashley wanted them to include various shades of purple, a small spray of rhinestones and I also added in a small “bow” of twine to make all the arrangements cohesive.

The candlelight and twinkle lights make it all so romantic!

Frozen Lake Bridal Shoot - Reveal

, , , ,

A few months ago, I opened a really interesting email. Shyann wrote, “Next month we are planning to have a photoshoot on the lake as a couple. I've bought a different dress and would like a bouquet. These photos are to makeup for the lack of couples photos we didn't receive at our wedding 2 years ago.” I’m always bummed when something wedding related doesn’t meet expectations, and if there is a way to help out, I’m on your team! Shyann sent me some inspiration photos that included flowers and greenery with lots of texture, but muted tones. I took that photos and created a custom silk wedding flower bouquet to withstand a Minnesota winter and on February 15th at 7 in the morning, with temps around -10°F, Shyann and her husband trekked out onto Bear Island Lake in northern Minnesota for an amazing photo shoot. You can find their amazing photographer, Broken Limits Photography on Facebook.

Shyann’s bouquet was a mix of Magnolia, Protea, Cynara Pods, Peonies and Roses that I sprayed to give a frozen look, Dusty Miller, Beige Sword Eucalyptus, beige Statice, Pom Pom Mums, Flocked Grass and dried Button Flowers and was tied off with a sage satin ribbon. It was a really fun bouquet to design and I absolutely loved the variance in color and texture and the unique shape!

I shivered a bit looking at these photos because her shoulders are bare and her shoes aren’t giving much protection from the snow. The commitment to this photoshoot is so inspiring to me!

Shyann also had me make a boutonniere to match the look and feel of her bouquet. I kept it very simple with just a few Thistle and some frosty looking grass spikes and greenery.

If you have a unique event, photoshoot or wedding venue that you need an equally unique custom silk wedding flower bouquet for, I’m your girl! Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or are ready to design something special with me, Love is Blooming might be just what you are looking for!

White Winter Wedding - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I know that it’s officially spring here in Minnesota, but one of the things we’re known for is our snow (and cold, but we’ll ignore that for now). When Danielle sent me here wedding photos from her magical, snowy, winter wedding, I couldn’t wait to share them! And truly if you are thinking of a winter wedding, this is the perfect time to start planning for custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at Danielle’s lovely white winter wedding flowers, photographed by the very talented Rule Creative Co. Check them out if you are Minnesotan!

Here’s our clearly very happy couple Danielle and Riley. Their February wedding here in Minnesota may have been cold, but that sure didn’t seem to dampen their spirits! Danielle’s bouquet was a round handtied style that had just a touch of hanging greenery. It consisted of white Roses, Peonies, Dahlia, and Ranunculus, Lambs Ear, Eucalyptus and other mixed greenery in more sage/dusty green tones. I really loved that she chose greenery that added height, texture and some dramatic draping.

Her attendants carrying flowers had smaller, handtied style bouquets with the same floral mix as the bridal bouquet. Danielle wanted her bouquet to be the only one with the cascading greenery, so we left that out of their bouquets. She also had a bridesman standing up on her side. His boutonniere matched the groomsmen’s bouts, but I love that his suit matched the bridesmaids!

We kept it very classic for the bridal party boutonnieres. Riley had a single white Rose bud with a small white Ranunculus. I also pulled some of the same greenery from the bridal bouquet to accent his boutonniere so that his stood out a little from the groomsmen.

custom-silk-white-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-boutonnieres
“Erin was wonderful to work with. I was able to meet with her in person and see the beautiful work she does. She was thorough in asking what we envisioned for our day. Communication was efficient. Once it was closer to the wedding, she sent us progress photos to make sure we liked everything. They were very beautiful and so realistic. She created our ceremony flowers, bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, and the boutonnieres. A great option as an alternative to real flowers that will last and look natural in photos.”
— Danielle | Minnesota

Danielle ordered a couple of decor pieces to complement their amazing venue. Those big windows provide so much “decor” on their own! The altar area featured a classy, modern fireplace that Danielle wanted some floral pieces for. We decided on a larger focal piece to go at one end, with a long, matching garland to stretch almost all the way across. This was inspired by other photos from the venue that she had seen and liked.

custom-silk-white-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-altar-arrangement

I specifically designed the fireplace arrangement to be in two pieces so that they could be used somewhere else during the reception. These were the perfect pieces to sit on the head table.

Minnesota is known for it’s 10,000 lakes (it’s actually 11,842 if you’re curious), so this feels like the perfect last photo for Danielle and Riley’s winter wedding. Magical, right?!

Destination Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Destination weddings are an awesome idea for adventure, stunning locations and unforgettable memories. But they also present a few challenges that take a little more thought. If you are the type of bride who wants to know what the plan is, destination weddings often require a bit of trust. One are that you can have complete control over is by ordering custom silk wedding flowers to take along on your destination wedding. Jamiah was one of those brides who had a destination wedding planned but wanted more say in her wedding flowers. She was a breeze to work with as we designed her custom silk wedding flowers for her destination wedding. Let’s take a look at some amazing photographs of her beach wedding from the amazing Gisselle Photography. You can also find her here on Instagram: Gisselle Gonzalez on Instagram

I love that Jamiah’s dress had such beautiful detail in the sleeves and the beading on the dress. She wanted a bouquet that wasn’t overly large but included some touches of tropical colors, some variety in texture and some classic tropical greenery. Her round handtied bouquet was a mix of Tropical style with nude Roses, champagne mini Roses, white Orchids, white Anthurium, white Anemone, cream Lisianthus, peach Ranunculus, Protea, rust garden Roses, Monstera leaves and a bit of Fern. I designed the bouquet to lay flat so that she could easily pack it in her suitcase.

The bridesmaids wore these lovely jewel-tone dark teal dresses that really allowed the white and soft peach flowers to really pop. Their bouquet were also round handtied style with a mix of the same flowers from the bridal bouquet, except the Orchids and rust Garden Roses. We also changed the Protea to be a softer peach color. Jamiah liked the idea of her bouquet being a little bolder than the bridesmaids.

“I found Erin while from a Google search in a somewhat confused desperation, unwilling to pay $1000+ for local florals for my destination wedding that I wouldn’t be able to keep, let alone travel home with. I am not a creative person, so from the start of communication with Erin I left much of the imagination to her. She was so patient in finding flowers that would make an arrangement to fit my theme and coordinate well. Despite my indecision and the back and forth, Erin was able to create absolutely stunning arrangements — from the wedding party to my bridal bouquet. She truly brought our vision to life, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out! Un-funny story: Erin shipped my flowers around mid-December and my bridesmaid was sure hers didn’t arrive despite triple-checking the tracking. I informed Erin and without hesitation, she was about to make another bouquet. Thankfully, my bridesmaid found her bouquet box as it had been mistaken for a Christmas present and hidden away, but Erin’s willingness to make a replacement was incredibly comforting during such a stressful time. Erin’s patience, communication and creativity was uncomplicated, direct and flexible. I truly appreciated how thoughtful and responsive she was during my planning. We received so many compliments on the flowers, and it’s all thanks to Erin’s talent and attention to detail. Her professionalism and creativity made the entire process seamless, and we are so grateful for all the hard work she put into making our day so special. I will treasure my bouquet for a lifetime.”
— Jamiah | Michigan

The groom and groomsmen flowers were a little more simple in style with a white Anemone and some smaller tropical greens.

Coral and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

I have a really pretty coral and white bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers to show you today! It’s the perfect bouquet for this lovely spring we are finally experiencing! Keign reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet and was hoping to surprise her with this meaningful gift. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original in the awesome photos from Photography by Brogan.

This stunning bouquet was a mix of coral and white Ranunculus, white Cosmos, white Spray Roses, coral Cabbage Roses and a touch of Ruscus. I loved the unique shape of this bouquet! It was handtied style but a more linear shape than the more traditional round shape. It was finished up with a raw edge silk ribbon in a lovely peachy-pink color.

“Absolutely amazing recreation! Erin did a fantastic job, my wife was overjoyed with the recreation!”
— Keign | Washington

Patrick reached out to me for a quick turnaround anniversary gift a few months ago. He sent me photos of the lovely bouquet — a classic pink and white look — and I got right to work pulling together the list of what was in the bouquet and tracking down each of the types of flowers I would need. Let’s do a comparison of Patrick’s custom bridal bouquet recreation for an anniversary gift!

This lovely bridal bouquet was a large, round, handtied style bouquet with a mix of white Hydrangea, Delphinium, Lisianthus, Queen Anne’s Lace and Astilbe and pink Astilbe and Spray Roses. I really loved the look of this bouquet. It had lots of texture and movement and the touches of pink were just so soft and romantic!

Happy Yellow, White and Blue Silk Wedding Flowers - Review

, ,

Tori’s wedding isn’t until 2026, but girl is on her game and wanted to check things off her list! She placed her order for a happy yellow, white and blue bridal bouquet and matching groom’s boutonniere. The thing about smaller orders is, they move really quickly. I was able to get her arrangement shipped out as soon as she wanted! Let’s take a look at these happy, bright custom silk wedding flowers!

Tori’s bouquet is a mix of blue Hydrangea (to will match what her bridesmaids will wear on the big day), deep yellow Roses, white mini Daisies, white Freesia and white Baby’s Breath. Her bouquet is a cross between a round ball and a more loose handtied style bouquet. It has a nice form to it, but those little Freesia and Baby’s Breath that break from the structure make it super interesting to look at. And each flower gets its own moment! We matched the ribbon to the Hydrangea and tied it off with a classic bow.

The groom’s boutonniere was designed to match the bouquet. That yellow rose steals the show, but is complemented by a touch of blue and white. She loved the idea of yellow ribbon for him, so that’s how we finished off the look!

“Love is Blooming is the BEST place to get your silk flowers for your wedding. Erin the owner and silk florist is fantastic. She is so knowledgeable about her flowers and truly has a gift! Her attention to detail is spot on and the care she puts into her craft is evident. I highly recommend Love is Blooming for all your silk flower needs.”
— Tori | Pennsylvania

Burgundy, Dusty Pink and Winter Greens Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Sean reached out to me about recreating his wife’s bouquet for their upcoming anniversary. She still had her original bouquet, but it was all shriveled up and dead, Sean’s words, not mine! He wanted to give her an anniversary gift that was meaningful, and I think we pulled it off nicely. Let’s take a look at the custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers versus the original!

The original bouquet was a mix of Burgundy and dusty pink Roses, cream Hypericum Berries, Dusty Miller, Cedar, Pine Branches and mini Pine Cones in a large handtied style bouquet.

“Easy process. All I did was send in pictures of the original and everything else was taken care of. I got updates along the way and there were no surprises.”

Lavender, Purple, Iovry and Red Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

It’s been cold here in Minnesota, so today I’m sharing Joanna’s lavender, purple, ivory and red silk wedding flowers to help bring some warm and happy feelings! Joanna worked with me to find the right mix of flowers for her custom silk wedding flowers. She liked the mix of a softer lavender purple along with a deeper plum purple. We added in some ivory to give it that classic wedding feel and of course that pop of red that makes me smile. Let’s take a look at what Joanna and I designed together in these photos from Brayhan Alvarado with B&A Photography.

Joann’as bouquet was a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of mix of red, ivory, lavender and wisteria Roses, ivory Baby's Breath, Lavender, plum Mums, light lavender Mini Peonies, and Seeded Eucalyptus.

“I had a great experience working with Erin! She was extremely professional and helpful when it came to picking the flowers for my wedding. The pictures she sent really helped me visualize everything. I got lots of compliments!!”

Peach, Champagne, Blue, Berry, Ivory and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Olivia’s custom silk bridal bouquet is so unique that I wasn’t even sure how to categorize it! It’s bright and fun, but it also has classic elements to it, it’s full and lush, but romantic and soft. Can you see my dilemma? Olivia worked closely with me to get her designs just right, and I love what we came up with together. While she originally gravitated toward fall colors, the more I showed her, the more she ended up liking some jewel tones with some brightness. She sent me some photos from her very talented photographer Flying Arrow Photography, so let’s take a look at what we settled on!

Olivia’s round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, dusty pink Mums, peach Cabbage Roses, berry Tea Roses, blue Delphinium, white Lilies, berry mini Ranunculus, champagne Dahlia, Fern, Olive and Ruscus greenery in a large loose bouquet. It had flower and height and texture and pops of color mixed with the neutrals. I loved it and so did she!

“Had an awesome time working with Erin! Not much of a flower girl but Erin was patient and showed us a ton of options until we were both satisfied with the outcomes. They turned out gorgeous!”

Gold, Pink and White Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Bridal bouquet recreations in silk wedding flowers are fun for me to make because I know they are going to bring a lot of joy to the recipient. Not that brides aren’t joyful when they get their flowers (check out some of my almost 20 years of reviews if you’re curious), but I know that a bouquet recreation is just an extra sweet moment for the giver and the receiver. Today’s bouquet is a lovely gold, pink and white bouquet that Steven sent me photos of to surprise his wife. Let’s compare the recreation with the original from the photos Steven sent to me from his photographer: Martha Jane’s Photography.

The original round handtied bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, white Hydrangea, pink Roses, green Hypericum Berries, Lace Fern and Ficus with a burlap wrap.

“Erin was able to recreate my Wife’s wedding bouquet perfectly. I gave them to her as a part of our 10 year wedding anniversary. The arrangement was spot on. Down to they weave on the burlap wrapping. I cannot more highly recommend. Communication was prompt, I felt like I was kept in the loop. The progress photos were a great addition to see, as it was coming together.”

Ink Blue and Terra Cotta Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, ,

Today’s wedding is a stunner and a unique color combination that I don’t think I’ve done before! McKenzie reached out to me about wedding flowers with her color palette of ink blue, terra cotta and white, and I was hooked! Let’s take a look at her textured, high contrast and beautiful custom silk wedding flowers captured so wonderfully by Audrey Cooper Photography!

Here’s our beautiful bride McKenzie! Her bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with mix of ink blue Baby's Breath, blue Mini Peonies, rust Roses, Lamb's Ear, white Roses, white Ball Mums, white Larkspur, and white mini Ranunculus. It was big and bold and visually interesting with the different shapes and textures of the flowers.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet and as you can see, their dresses matched the bouquets wonderfully!

Burgundy, Navy, Dusty Blue, Orange and Sage Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Mackenzie’s custom silk wedding flowers were a highlight for me this year. I loved her theme colors, I loved the flowers she chose, and I loved how they all came together for a very unique look. One thing she mentioned early on is that she did not like Roses, but as you’ll see from her photos by Simply Hunny Co., we didn’t miss out on anything by not including them. Let’s take a look!

Here’s our amazing couple! Mackenzie’s bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with light blue Hydrangea, white Anemone, dusty blue Dogwood, orange Dahlia, blue Magnolia, burgundy Peony, Willow Eucalyptus, Lamb's Ear, Orange Greenery, and Fern. It was big and bad and awesome! And here’s a great look at the groom’s boutonniere—Anemone, Dogwood, Dahlia bud, Lamb’s Ear and

The bridesmaids carried a larger clutch style bouquet that featured one Magnolia, Dahlia, and Peony, Anemone, Dogwood, and the same mix of greenery. It matched her bouquet but was different enough for her’s to stand out even more.

We decided that the groomsmen bouts would match the bridesmaid dress colors, so we featured the blue Dogwood with greenery and I think it was a great look!

Let’s not forget about the littlest ladies! Her flower girls had these pretty little flower crowns that featured a cluster of matching flowers at the front with a ring of white Baby’s Breath all around.

I had to double check my notes to see if I had created a swag for the head table when she sent me this photo. But these are just her bouquets lined up, doing double decor duty! Which is a great reminder to make your flowers work for you!

“Loved working with Erin! She’s super responsive, easy to work with, and has tons of great ideas and suggestions if you have a vision but need help bringing it all together!”

Calla Lily and Greenery Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love today’s bouquet! It’s a classic style with a twist because it isn’t as buttoned up as I usually see Calla Lily bouquets. It’s a little wild, lush, and would look great in any wedding venue. Amanda reached out to me about her daughter-in-law’s bouquet, and I was excited to work with her to get it just right! This handtied style bridal bouquet is a mix of large white Calla Lilies, Eucalyptus and Ficus with a touch of twine wrapped around the stems. Let’s take a look at how it turned out in silk wedding flowers!

“I wanted to let you know I received the flowers yesterday and they are gorgeous!!! You did a beautiful job and far surpassed my expectations. They look so real! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to give them to my daughter in law for Christmas. She is going to love them. ”

Short Turn Around, Dream Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Have you ever had a deadline for work, school or personal goals that required you to problem solve at top speed? Today’s wedding is this very situation! Vera contacted with me with just about two weeks until her wedding date. She had come across a wedding I did that was of Royal Blue, Light Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers, and she fell in love with the color combination and the flowers. Thankfully, I could get a hold of what I needed to recreate the look for her. Here are some photos by Ryan Michaels Photography of Vera’s dream wedding flowers!

Vera wanted a simple look with royal blue Roses, light blue Roses and white Baby’s Breath in a smaller handtied style bridal bouquet.

There were a few additional items that she wanted to tie everything together including some small flowers for her hair and a matching groom’s boutonniere of a royal blue Rose, white Baby’s Breath and a touch of greenery.

“I wanted silk flowers for my wedding and after some googling found a picture of a bouquet that I LOVED at Love is Blooming. I only had a few weeks before my wedding at this point, so I emailed Erin and asked her if she could make something like that for me in that time frame. She said yes and sent over pictures within a day or two. She made a beautiful bouquet and boutonniere for my husband. I wanted some white flowers in my hair and asked her if she had any left over from the bouquet that she could send me, and she said she did. She also sent some extra blue flowers that I was able to use for decorations around the cake that went with my bouquet. And she included the extra flowers for free. Everything was beautiful and she got it done so quickly!”
— V | California

Cake flowers don’t need to be over the top. A small cluster of Hydrangea in the right color was just what Vera’s cake needed!

The great thing about silk wedding flowers is that everything is custom and you are working directly with me. Despite our short turn around time, Vera got all the items she wanted and they were within her budget and matched her vision for her wedding day.

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation for a Shadowbox - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

I love a good DIY, which is kind of why I ended up starting Love is Blooming Silk Wedding Flowers! Today’s silk bridal bouquet recreation became part of a DIY project by bride Nicola. She sent me photos of her bouquet with the plan to enclose the bouquet in a shadowbox along with other keepsakes from her wedding day. Let’s take a look at the photos of her bouquet and the recreation!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers

Her round handtied bouquet was a mix of white, dusty pink and burgundy Roses, with special gold dyed greenery. The challenge with this arrangement is that the shadowbox was only going to be a few inches deep, so I couldn’t recreate an actual round bouquet, it needed to showcase all the elements, but be flat at the back. Nicola was kind enough to send me her finished project so we can see how it all turned out!

custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers-diy
“I am so happy I found “Love is Blooming Silk Wedding Flowers” to recreate my wedding bouquet. I was so sad when I couldn’t preserve my real flowers. I reached out to the business and got connected with Erin. Erin was so kind, professional and communicated every step of the way. She sent me samples of what flowers and ribbons she can use. Upon completion she sent me a picture of the finished product. When I received the flowers It looked just like my real wedding flowers and the emotions of my special day came back. Thank you Erin !!”

Today’s sweet bride is local to me, so I got the pleasure of handing off her flowers in person. That’s always a fun treat for me to see their excitement when I get to show them the bridal bouquet they’ll be walking down the aisle holding. Emma was so easy to work with and had a pretty clear vision of green and white flowers for her custom silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at some Minneapolis silk wedding flowers photographed by the talented Jenny Cvek Photography. You can also find her here on Instagram.

Here’s our beautiful bride Emma! Her custom silk bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of white Roses, Peonies, and Gardenia, plus Lamb's Ear, Small and Standard Eucalyptus, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and blue Thistle.

The groom’s boutonniere was a white Rose bud and blue Thistle with a mix of the greenery and matching ribbon.

The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, but without the standard Eucalyptus. That slight difference just makes the bridal bouquet different, but still matching.

What a great looking bridal party!

“I absolutely loved how our wedding flowers turned out, it was exactly what I was dreaming of and they looked amazing in photos! Erin was so nice to work with and everything was customizable to what I wanted, a great experience overall. She does an amazing job and is so talented at what she does. She made our bouquets and boutonnières and worked with our short timeline and budget as well. Totally recommend Erin!!”
