Turning a Bridal Bouquet into a Display Arrangement in Silk Wedding Flowers

Sometimes recreating a bridal bouquet exactly as it was isn’t what the customer is looking for. Whether it’s the shape or size of the bouquet, sometimes a change is a great option for displaying this permanently in your home. That’s what Jacob was looking for in a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers. He sent me a couple photos of his wife’s bouquet and said that since the original had been quite large, he was looking to reduce the overall size to make it a nice display size for their home.

The original bouquet consisted of ivory Roses, Shasta Daisies, Baby’s Breath, Bells of Ireland and Greens with a sheer wrap and bow.

Custom Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation Review

Sometimes there is no better way to tell you about why a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers is an amazing gift than for me to just shut my mouth. So without further ado:

View fullsize

“Working with Erin was fantastic. I contacted her for a recreation of my wife’s wedding bouquet for our first anniversary, and she wrote right back today. I sent her some pictures showing different angles and she totally nailed it. She was always very responsive and sent me pictures throughout the process so I could watch the bouquet come together and offer input. I couldn’t believe how quickly she finished the product, and when it arrived at my parents house (didn’t want to spoil the surprise!) I couldn’t wait to see it. I was blown away as were they at the accuracy of the finished bouquet. Erin did a great job. ”

Burgundy and Blush Centerpieces and Silk Wedding Flowers

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

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

View fullsize

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

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

View fullsize

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

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

Mauve, Ivory and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers

Happy New Year! Maybe you are starting new habits, keeping up with the old, or maybe you aren’t doing either this year! But if you are planning a wedding for 2020, now is the time to start!

Dorothy saw this blog post of a silk bridal bouquet recreation and she loved the bouquet so much, she decided she wanted to order it for her own bridal bouquet. We adapted it slightly so that there was less of the blush color, but the shape and composition basically stayed the same.

Champagne, Ivory, Gray and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers

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

View fullsize

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

View fullsize

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

The cute little toss bouquet matched the bridal bouquet.

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

Why the Details Matter in Silk Bridal Bouquets

When I get asked to do a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers, one thing I know to be true: the details matter! You are talking about an important piece of someone’s memory of their wedding day. It’s important to get it right!

So whether it’s the lace overlay with pearl pins spaced out just so…

View fullsize

Or adjusting the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus to match the cascading shape of the original bouquet…

Or getting that sheer satin bow with just the right amount of floofiness…

I understand that the details matter, to you, to her, to the memory of your wedding day. If you’ve got a bouquet with some extra special details, contact me today to find out how to have it recreated in time for you special celebration.

Wild Winter Wedding with Silk Wedding Flowers

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

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

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

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

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

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

View fullsize

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

Lavender, Plum, and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers

Plum is one of those amazing jewel tones that usually gets paired up with other jewel tones-teal, burgundy, gold, etc. But I took it another direction and lightened things up a bit with lavender and ivory with some soft gray greenery in this silk bridal bouquet and wedding flowers.

This cascading bridal bouquet of Ranunculus, Roses, Lavender and Lamb’s ear is soft and romantic, but also eye catching with the high contrast of plum and ivory.

“My flowers were above & beyond my expectations. The colors were stunning, and the quality was immaculate. The price was nothing compared to the way my flowers looked. Absolutely beautiful job!!”

— Justine | Minnesota

The bridesmaid bouquet was a handtied style without the traditional round shape. By spreading out the Lamb’s ear and keeping it loose and playful, we have bridesmaid bouquets that are memorable and fun.

This simple toss bouquet incorporates all the color and all the flowers and greenery in a sweet little clutch bouquet.

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation With Lavender

Your bridal bouquet might be one of the most memorable things about your wedding day. You may have carefully chosen the different flowers and colors that you would carry around on your big day. So when Jessica contacted me and told me about the loss of her bouquet, along with her home and much of her belongings in the Camp Fire in Norther California, I knew I wanted to make sure I got this silk bridal bouquet recreation right!

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Ivory and Blue

Luke contacted me looking for the perfect anniversary gift for his wife. After seeing the photos, I got to work recreating the original bridal bouquet of blue and ivory Hydrangea, Ivory Roses and Spray Roses, ivory berries and greens into her own silk bridal bouquet recreation.

Sometimes it takes a few different photos of the bouquet to get it just right. In this case, the original photo Brandon sent didn’t quite capture the brightness of the blue Hydrangea. A different angle did, so I was able to find a brighter blue Hydrangea and switch it out. I wanted to be sure and get it just right!

Bright Fall Silk Wedding Flowers Review

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

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

— Jennifer | New Mexico

Photos were taken by their friend, groomsman and photographer Charles Ellis.

Bright Colors in Fall Silk Wedding Flowers

A lot of times, when we think of fall, colors like brown, gold, rust, olive, burgundy come to mind. How do I put this delicately? They are the colors of plant life ceasing to actively grow (ahem, dead stuff). And while those colors look amazing together, there is no rule saying your fall wedding can’t be bright and lively. Take these fall silk wedding flowers and bridal bouquet for example:

Whimsical Silk Wedding Flowers

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

View fullsize

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

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

View fullsize

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

View fullsize

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

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

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers

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

View fullsize

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

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

Bridesmaid and Toss Bouquet

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