Sunflower Modified Cascade Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

, , ,

Ashley’s sunflower themed silk wedding flowers were a fun challenge for me. I’ve done lots of different sunflower themed bouquets (just head over to my blog and do a quick search for more examples), but Ashley wanted a bouquet that had a few more colors mixed in, lots of greenery and to turn a cascade bouquet on its head, quite literally. As you can see below, instead of the traditional vertical tear drop of a cascade, we spread out the bouquet side to side for a very unique take on a cascade bouquet. This is exactly the type of bouquet that fits into my category of “modified cascade.” You can clearly see that it’s not a round bouquet, and not a true cascade. It has a more organic shape with draping elements. It is a showstopper!

The bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, blueberries, burgundy Mums, white Cosmos, white accent flowers, Seeded Ecualyptus, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Fern. We tied it off with Antique White satin ribbon and left some of the stems exposed for a more modern look.

The bridesmaid bouquets needed to be a matching style without as much volume. We pared back the amount of flowers and added in some navy Delphinium to deepen the color scheme to match their moody burgundy dresses. I kept the composition loose and a little wild to match the look of the bridal bouquet.

Ashley had requested that I make all of the boutonnieres and corsages different from each other, incorporating a variety of greenery and accent flowers in blue, white and burgundy. This was so fun for me, because each one is unique, but stays consistent with the look and feel of her other flowers.

Do you like the idea of unique boutonnieres and corsages? Or maybe you want a cascade that’s, well, not quite a cascade? Silk flowers allow you to have that kind of input! There’s no flipping through catalogs to pick out the same thing 1,000 other brides already picked out.

Check back in a few days to see the reveal of Ashley’s wedding day and hear what she had to say about working with me on her custom silk wedding flowers.

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!

Chianti Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Every once in a while a color comes along and despite my 15 years in the business, I have to Google it:) I’m not afraid to admit it, but Chianti was one of those colors. I was so glad to see it on my screen because it’s a gorgeous, moody, dusty, saturated pink.

I went looking for the perfect rose for Caitlyn’s bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers where she wanted to include a hint of Chianti to accent the blush pink, ivory and greenery. Her cascading style bridal bouquet in silk flowers includes Ranunculus, Roses, Peonies, Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and ivory Heather. It’s such a soft and romantic looking bouquet! I tied it off with the ever popular Antique White satin ribbon for a beautiful wedding day bouquet.

Caitlyn liked the idea of the bridesmaids carrying not only a different style bouquet but also a different combination of flowers. Each bridesmaid would carry the same blush Rose from the bridal bouquet but they would be surrounded by Baby’s Breath and Lamb’s Ear.

Boutonnieres and corsages were easy to design since her main flowers are great sizes for them. The groom and groomsmen wore the blush pink Roses and the dads wore Ranunculus. The mothers’ wrist corsages matched the fathers’ with some Baby’s Breath, blush accent and rhinestones for a little sparkle.

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!

Peony Silk Wedding Flowers and Bridal Bouquet

, ,

Peonies are one of my favorite flowers, so I love getting to incorporate them into bridal bouquets and wedding flowers. Because they are a nice full flower, they fill in an arrangement using fewer flowers, but have a romantic texture that softens up any bouquet.

This bridal bouquet was a mix of ivory roses and peonies with blush pink large and mini Peonies and wrapped in Antique White ribbon.

The bridesmaids bouquets were a nice complement to the bridal and feature ivory roses and peonies and a few blush peonies. We matched the ribbon on these bouquets too.

One of the special arrangements I created to match the other wedding flowers was an honorary Grandparent’s arrangement. This is a thoughtful way to honor grandparents who are not able to attend the ceremony or who have passed away. In this case, we added some red roses as a way to include her grandmother’s favorite color. I also added a little bit of Lamb’s ear to set it apart from the bouquets.

The toss bouquet was a slight variation on both the bridal and the bridesmaids bouquets and was composed of ivory and blush Peonies and ivory Spray Roses. I added ribbon tails onto the wrap so it looks a little more dramatic as it gets tossed through the air.

Peonies aren’t usually used for boutonnieres and corsages because of their size. In this case, the mini Peonies were a great option for both!

Cake flowers are a great way to tie it all your themes together at the reception. These small clusters will be placed on a few of the layers of the cake. Just a touch of pink, ivory and Lamb’s ear.

Maybe you like Peonies or maybe it’s the blush and ivory combination. Or maybe it’s the look of a round style bridal bouquet that caught your eye. Whatever your style or colors, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote on your dream wedding flowers!

Custom Wedding Flowers to Complement Wisteria Bridesmaid Dresses

, , ,

This is my fourth wedding in the last 9 months where Wisteria was the main wedding color. When bridesmaids are wearing Wisteria dresses, you want colors that complement them without being too matchy-matchy. Rachel’s wedding flowers were a fun challenge because she wanted to incorporate some mauve and blush pink for a soft romantic look. We decided her silk bridal bouquet was the perfect place for that.

This modified cascading bridal bouquet had ivory Roses, ivory Dahlia, ivory Ranunculus, mauve Roses, blush pink Tulips, blush pink Seedum, plum Heather, Fern, Smilax and Ivy with Antique White satin ribbon.

The bridesmaid bouquets were quite a bit different from the bridal bouquet. The base of the bouquet was Hydrangea for a nice full look, a single ivory Dahlia, cream mini Tulips with a collar of plum Heather and Smilax. They were finished off with Antique White ribbon.

The toss bouquet was a mix between both styles of bouquets with ivory Roses and Hydrangea, mauve Roses, plum Heather, Smilax and a touch of Fern. I added the Antique White ribbon and some tails because they look good flying through the air.

Customizing Silk Wedding Flowers from and Inspiration Photos

, ,

Usually bride’s who contact me have an idea of what they like, as was the case with Kim. She was interested in a silk bridal bouquet with ivory Roses, Baby’s Breath and pink carnations with some bling. I sent her the link to this bouquet to give her an example of the bling I could do and she ended up loving the bouquet itself! We adjusted the colors a bit so that her bouquet was mainly ivory and blush pink and gave the big pops of pink to the bridesmaids who would be wearing black dresses.

Peonies in ivory and blush pink with ivory Roses, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Antique White Satin ribbon and rhinestone wrap on the handle.

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of ivory Roses, fuchsia, bright pink and blush pink Peonies, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus with Azalea colored satin ribbon.

Kim wanted a custom piece for her altar. I created this swag to lay on the table at the front of her ceremony site. I incorporated mixed greens, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, ivory Roses and Peonies, and blush pink, fuchsia and bright pink peonies.

The boutonnieres were a combination of flowers and colors for a cohesive look. The groom’s bout was an ivory Rose bud, with blush pink accent, bright pink mini Peony, a sprig of Eucalyptus and antique white ribbon to match the bridal bouquet. Kim also wanted the groom’s bout to have a tiny bit of bling so I lined the top and the bottom of the stem with a thin strip of rhinestones. The groomsmen bouts were an ivory rose, mini Peony, Eucalyptus and the same color ribbon as the bridesmaid bouquets. We kept the fathers’ boutonnieres simple with an ivory Rose bud, sprig of Eucalyptus and blush pink ribbon.

The two mothers’ corsages were wrist style with spray Roses, mini Peonies, blush accent, Eucalyptus, a small spray of rhinestones and blush pink ribbon.

Burgundy Silk Wedding Flowers with a Twist

, , ,

When Candace booked her wedding with me in February, she had a pretty good idea of what she wanted for her custom silk wedding flowers and a bridal bouquet. The inspiration photos had creamy Roses, peach and burgundy accents and lots of greenery and texture. They were moody and romantic and a little bit boho—perfect for an October wedding! Once I started working on her arrangements, she felt like it was missing a little pop of color, so we incorporated a touch of golden orange that gave the bouquets that perfect little twist of brightness. Take a look at Candace’s awesome custom silk wedding bouquets for fall.

The bridal bouquet incorporated cream Roses, peach Roses, apricot Garden Roses, ivory Spray Roses, burgundy Dahlia, orange gold Mums, Seeded Eucalyptus, Magnolia leaves, dusty greenery, feathery Fern, and seed pods in mauve. This modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet is a show stopper!

The bridesmaid bouquets weren’t the exact same shape but incorporated almost all the same elements as the bridal bouquet while giving off the same wild and rustic vibe.

This nontraditional shape bridesmaid bouquet is definitely becoming the norm as more bride’s are choosing more organic shapes and color palettes for both themselves and their bridal party.

Blush, Navy and Ivory Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

When Emily gave me the go ahead to give her a truly custom look for her bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers, I WAS SO EXCITED! She sent me a few inspiration photos, her color palette and feedback on my ideas and I’m proud to present this very pretty modified cascade bridal bouquet in blush and ivory with tons of greenery.

I seriously packed this baby with tons of flowers, textures and style. It is composed of ivory and blush pink Roses, blush centered Garden Roses, ivory Spray Roses, ivory Ranunculus, Baby’s Breath, Scabiosa Seed Pods, Peony buds, seeded Eucalyptus, Dusty Miller, and Smilax. This asymmetrical design is one of a kind and fantastic, if I do say so myself!

Emily knew exactly what she wanted for her Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids bouquets. We started with a base of all white baby’s breath and for the Maid of Honor I added in some of the blush Roses and the blush centered Garden Roses. A little bit of seeded Eucalyptus and these simple designs were so pretty!

Emily also needed some clusters of flowers for her simple and elegant cake. I didn’t want to do anything too large or fussy, so I designed these 4 small clusters to be placed on the layers for a look that would match her bouquets.

Elopement Bridal Bouquet in Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Elopements are making a come back! Here’s another custom silk bridal bouquet for an elopement. Amanda wanted to incorporate some of her favorite flowers and colors in a beautiful modified cascade style bouquet for her elopement this fall that will take place in a Pecan Grove. How romantic right?? Her favorite flower is the Peony (and mine too!) and she also wanted to feature the color pink and a hint of yellow. I sent her a few emails with a variety of options and we settled on the elements you’ll see below: bright pink Peonies, blush pink Peonies, pink and white Magnolia, white Spray Roses, bright pink Wild Roses, Forsythia and yellow Queen Anne’s Lace. She wanted her bouquet to have some rustic charm, so I added a burlap ribbon to the handle and a delicate ivory lace wrap to finish it off.

For the groom’s boutonniere, I used one Magnolia blossom, one Forsythia flower and a small Wild Rose bud. A little bit of burlap and it was a perfect match!

Silk Champagne and Ivory Bridal Bouquet and Altar Arrangement

, ,

Rachel contacted me about flowers for her upcoming private wedding ceremony. She was not completely settled on a style, so I sent her to my blog to poke around and look at different bouquet designs. She loved the look of this lavender, plum and ivory bouquet and the color palette of this champagne and ivory bouquet. Because everything I create is custom, this was no problem at all. Rachel got a mashup of these two bouquets for a stylish and beautiful cascading bridal bouquet in silk flowers.

I custom dyed the Dahlia to have a champagne center to match the champagne Peonies and Heather. I added in some ivory Roses, white Baby’s breath and finished it off with some Lamb’s ear for a softer touch of greenery. And literally this Lamb’s ear is so soft! It adds such a romantic texture to any bouquet!

I made a matching groom’s boutonniere with an ivory Rose bud, a small sprig of Heather and lamb’s ear tied with matching ribbon. Her father’s boutonniere was a simple Rose bud and Lamb’s ear. So classic!

Rachel sent me a few photos of the altar set up at her church. Even though this would be a small private ceremony, she still wanted to add a custom altar arrangement that would match her bouquet. This two piece arrangement consists of a swag and a garland. By making it as separate pieces, she can configure this however she likes when she gets there. Made to either hang or lay down, the swag looks seamless with the garland. And it will be sure to bring some color and warmth to her ceremony.

Wisteria, Lavender and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Sometimes a picture says it all. Take a look at Kate’s custom silk wedding flowers in wisteria, lavender and ivory.

Composed of ivory and lavender Peonies, wisteria Tea Roses, Lavender and Lamb’s ear, Kate’s bridal bouquet was just so darn romantic. The handtied style is classic and will always look great no matter the year or the season!

The bridesmaids will carry bouquets similar to Kate’s but scaled back in size. They were tied off with matching Antique White satin ribbon.

I found these sweet little mini Peonies that were just perfect for the boutonnieres and corsages.

Groom’s boutonniere with a mini ivory Peony, Lavender, Waxflower and Lamb’s ear. The groomsmen and father’s boutonnieres had a mini Peony, Lavender and Lamb’s ear.

The mothers’ pin on corsages matched the guys with a couple mini ivory Peonies, Lavender, a small wisteria flower bud, Lamb’s ear, ribbon and small spray of rhinestones. Charming!

Wild Wedding Flowers Part II: Get the Most for your Money

Callie had a variety of other arrangements she wanted to match her wild silk wedding bouquet. She had a vision of lining her aisle with greenery and flowers as well as the long banquet table that would seat all 20-30 of her guests. This may be a smaller wedding, but it still needed to be pretty right? In this scenario, Callie’s flowers are going to do the heavy lifting (but really they are super light weight).

For her designs, I incorporated similar greenery to her bouquets and sprinkled some Dahlia along each 6 foot garland, of which there are 4. She can spread these out along each side of her aisle and then recruit a friend or family member to carry them to her over 20 foot long banquet table.

I mentioned an altar arrangement and here she is! This custom piece will attach to Callie’s arch and then after the ceremony, you guessed it, will travel to the reception and will lay in the very center of that big beautiful table. Can’t you just envision this luscious and long table arrangement? I also suggested that Callie use her bridesmaids bouquets for double duty as well. Just purchase some vases, space them out on your table (or head table if you that’s your set up) and drop them in after entering the reception area and voila, more decor!

If you need some decor, but like to stay on budget, doubling up might be the answer for you! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today to get a quote and to talk design ideas with me.

Wild Wedding Flowers Part I: Incorporating Lots of Greenery

, ,

Callie’s custom silk wedding flowers have an element of wildness that I love! She requested lots of greenery, a handful of flowers and liked the idea of bouquets with a looser composition. The modified cascade was a perfect fit for her bridal bouquet.

This custom silk bridal bouquet consists of Dahlia, Ranunculus, white Heather, blue Thistle, seeded Eucalyptus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. We started out with the stems completely wrapped but after a second look Callie wanted some of the stems showing. Take a look at the finished product!

For the bridesmaids, we scaled back the size, adjusted the shape so it wasn’t quite as cascading, and took out the Thistle. We left that as a special feature in the bridal bouquet and the groom’s boutonniere.

Callie needed some matching boutonnieres and corsages for the bridal party and parents.

Groom and groomsmen boutonnieres.

Mothers’ wrist corsages, fathers’ boutonnieres and ring bearer’s boutonniere.

This cute little hair piece was a mix of greenery, blue seeds, and ranunculus.

Dusty Blue and Ivory Silk Bridal Bouquet and Maid of Honor Bouquet

, ,

Small weddings are all the rage right now. Whether that’s a result of Covid-19 or couples reevaluating what they want their dream wedding to be like, I’m doing more and more custom silk bridal bouquets for weddings with just one or two bridesmaids, or none at all! And since things are changing left and right for what can be celebrated and when, there has never been a better time to order flowers that DON’T DIE! I’ve already been able to help out several couples who’s wedding plans had to change and the best part is that they still get beautiful flowers, whenever their wedding ends up happening.

Kayla emailed me looking for her bouquet and a matching one for her Maid of Honor. She had a few inspiration photos and with a little input from me we came up with this bright and light design.

The bridal bouquet consisted of blue Hydrangea, ivory Roses and Calla Lilies, and greens. Kayla wanted to include some bling, so I added individual rhinestones into the bouquet and tied it off with silver ribbon.

“I ordered my bridal and maid of honor bouquet after dealing with so many florists. I decided to go with Love is Blooming and holy cow they came out amazing! Erin did an amazing job, she kept me informed, and gave me ideas on what would look good and what wouldn’t. I am so beyond happy with how they turned out.”
— Kayla | Minnesota

The matching Maid of Honor bouquet was a smaller version of Kayla’s bridal bouquet, down to the rhinestones and ribbon.

Fairy Tale Themed Silk Bridal Bouquet

, , , ,

When you hear about Fairy Tale Themed weddings, you might think, but where do they get the friendly woodland creatures to surround them on their magical day?? Ok, so maybe that’s just what I think of ;) How about a wedding held outdoors at the very unique Minnesota Rennaissance Festival for that dreamy, fairy tale wedding? That is where bride Sarah is headed later this summer for her enchanting ceremony with these silk wedding flowers.

This awesomely big bouquet was filled with a variety of textures and colors. It incorporated ivory Roses, lavender Cabbage Roses, plum Peonies, Lavender sprigs, lavender and wisteria Heather, lavender Hydrangea, Ivy and Eucalyptus.

Sarah liked the idea of wrapping the handle with two different colors of ribbon. I used a classic ballet tie with an Antique White base with Lavender satin criss-crossed over the top. It felt like the beginnings of a bouquet fit for royalty, but adding in a bunch of ribbon streamers seemed like the perfect way to make a bouquet fit for a princess.

Custom Cascading Silk Bridal Bouquet

, ,

I hereby declare 2020 the year of the Cascading Bridal Bouquet! I mean, I don’t have a gold trimmed certificate for my declaration, but I’ve received enough orders for cascading bouquets this year (and last year) to make such a declaration. And to be clear, cascading bridal bouquets never went out of style. While round bouquets came on strong in the early 2000’s and beyond, I have seen a resurgence in the popularity of the cascade.

Here’s another take on this classic tear drop style bouquet in silk wedding flowers. Mary wanted a red, burgundy and blush pink bouquet to match her bridesmaids’ dresses and her church’s decor. We talked about a few options and settled on these pretty deep red Roses, dark burgundy Calla Lilies, lighter burgundy and ivory Calla Lillies and then some sweet Apple Blossoms in blush pink.

A hint of greenery and some Antique White satin ribbon finish off this lovely silk cascading bridal bouquet.

Mary’s bridesmaids will be wearing burgundy dresses that had some gorgeous detaisl, so we kept their bouquets simple with a clutch of burgundy and ivory Calla Lillies. I finished it off with the Antique White satin ribbon so all bouquets matched.

If you are considering a cascading style bridal bouquet, silk flowers could be the answer for you. Not only will you get to see the flowers ahead of time, you get to have input on what goes in the bouquet, the overall look and the finished size. Check out my Bridal Bouquet page to read about the different styles or check out my blog to see more examples of silk bridal bouquets in the cascading style.

Lavender, Violet, and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers

, ,

Lavender has been another hot color this year. And what’s fun is that my brides have chosen some really pretty ways to accent the lavender. This custom silk cascading bridal bouquet is a great example of using a pastel color in a mix of wedding flowers and textures so that it doesn’t feel dated or too muted.

I used a violet Phalaenopsis Orchid along with lavender and ivory Roses with some Smilax for a pop of green. I really like how the contrast between the ivory and violet is bridged by that soft lavender.

Antique white ribbon for a bridal touch.

The matching bridesmaid bouquet was a really pretty mix of lavender Roses, a few violet Orchids and Smilax. I wrapped the handle with Rosewater ribbon which is a nice in between pink and purple shade. It was a perfect fit on for this bouquet.

The cute little toss bouquet incorporated ivory and lavender Roses and violet Orchids. I wrapped the handle in Antique White satin ribbon and added tails in Rosewater.
