Black, White and Blush Silk Wedding Flower- Part 2 Reveal & Review!

, ,

It’s reveal day! And you know what that means… My amateur photos from earlier this week are put to shame. But also that the flowers get to shine! Take a look at these amazing photos of the custom silk wedding flowers from Markina B Photography. If you are in the Twin Cities area check her out!

“Erin at Love Is Blooming was wonderful and our silk flowers were perfect! We contacted this vendor just a month before our wedding, and Erin turned around our order exceptionally quickly, exceeding our expectations. Erin was professional, prompt in her communication, and went above and beyond in providing flower and accent recommendations to align with our color scheme. Our flowers were gorgeous and held up incredibly well through the long day. The pricing was very reasonable and we actually saved money by choosing this option compared with the quotes we received from traditional florists. We highly recommend Love Is Blooming!”
— Angela | Minnesota

I love this photo-they look so happy!

Black, White and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

, ,

Angela was the sweetest bride to work with! She knew her color scheme and had a few flower suggestions, but she really let me make some creative suggestions and gave me the freedom in designing her bridal bouquet. Her custom silk wedding flowers and bouquets were so soft and romantic and dreamy and I can’t wait to share them with you!

Angela’s loose round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of blush pink Peonies, garden Roses, dusty blush pink Anemone, Skimmia berries, white seeds and some mixed greenery. Black can be a touch color to incorporate in the bouquets themselves, so I was excited that she liked my suggestions to bring that into the bouquets with the Skimmia and the Anemone.

The bridesmaid bouquets had a similar composition to the bridal bouquet, only smaller.

The boutonnieres and corsages used a mix of the flowers, colors and greenery for simple, but classically styled personal flowers.

Last is the cake topper! This cutie could be viewed from any side and feature some of the same flowers as the other arrangements, but in a small cluster for the top layer of her cake.

I’m excited to show you photos of this sweet client and her beautiful wedding day later this week. Check back in a few days to see the reveal and hear what Angela had to say about designing and ordering her custom silk wedding flowers.

Moody Winter Wedding Colors in Silk Flowers

, ,

Winter can be a bright, shiny, time of year. But if that’s not the vibe you want in your silk wedding flowers for your bridal bouquet, then this post is for you! These moody winter wedding colors of navy, burgundy, gray and white were a fun mix for a January wedding. Just a hint of greenery kept it from being completely dark and jewel-toned, but we kept it minimal in order to provide just a touch of contrast.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of navy Peonies, burgundy berries and Calla Lilies, white Roses, gray Dusty Miller and Eucalyptus in a classic tear drop cascade style.

The bridesmaid and toss bouquets were mix of all the same flowers, but in a round handtied style. SIlver ribbon finished off all the arrangements to tie in more of her color scheme.

Sunflower Yellow and Navy Blue Silk Wedding Flowers with Altar Arrangements

, , ,

I’m convinced that sunflowers, along with roses will always be classic wedding flowers. And there might not be a better complementary color than navy with the deep gold hues of the Sunflowers. These silk wedding flowers are a great example of that color combination. Take a look!

This classic, round style bridal bouquet consisted of white Roses, Sunflowers, navy Ranunculus and white Baby’s Breath.

We simplified the bridesmaid bouquets to be white Hydrangea and Sunflowers so that the bridal bouquet stood out even more. If you are looking for a way to make the bridal bouquet different, but are worried about it not “matching,” this is a great example of how to make all the arrangements work together but different.

The toss bouquet was a mini version of the bridal bouquet with some fun ribbon tails added.

For altar arrangements, I created two mirror-image pieces to hang on her arch. It was mostly greenery for impact, with a few flowers to bring in their color scheme.

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-sunflowers-altar-arrangements

The reception venue included a fireplace that they wanted a custom piece to decorate the mantel. I created this garland of white Hydrangea, navy Peonies, white Roses, Sunflowers and mixed greenery.

If you need decor for all aspects of your wedding day, and want a cohesive look, silk flowers are a great option. You get to help design the arrangements, see them in progress and have them ahead of schedule. If that appeals to you, contact me today about your wedding needs!

Lavender, White and Silver Silk Wedding Flowers with Bling

, , ,

If you are looking for some silk wedding flowers and bouquets with a touch of bling, these are the photos for you! Emily’s color palette of lavender, white and silver were easy enough to work with, but I wanted to add a little extra ‘Oomph’ to her arrangements with some bling. Rather than just a few rhinestones here and there, I wanted it to be a statement. Take a look at what we designed together!

The bridal bouquet was a mix of lavender Roses, white Tulips, Baby’s Breath, and a little brighter lavender Spray Roses.

To give it a little more dimension, I add in some glittery, blingy branches to add texture, height and take it to the next level!

The bridesmaid bouquet was the same mix of flowers, but smaller and without the bling.

“I am extremely happy with the way my flowers turned out. When I was looking for flowers for my wedding, I was having trouble finding some that I like because I can be pretty picky. I am also a college student, so I don’t have a lot of money to spend on my wedding. I’m so glad I found this company! Not only were the prices fair, bur she also worked very closely with me to help me customize my flowers. I’m legally blind, so details can be a little hard for me to work with. I trusted her completely to put together a beautiful arrangement using my colors, and I am very happy with how they turned out. The communication was amazing as well. Not only did I receive pictures throughout the process, but also received quick replies when I reached out. When I physically received the flowers in the mail, I was so impressed by the texture. The flowers seemed so real, which is something I really wanted for my bouquet. Additionally, they were packaged very carefully and neatly. I would highly encourage anyone who is looking for beautiful flowers at a fairly cheap price to order from here!”
— Emily | West Virginia

There were two boutonnieres, the groom and groomsman where I incorporated a small piece of the glitter branch in the groom’s to match the bridal bouquet.

Emily also wanted a few clusters of flowers on ribbon loops for her aisle arrangements. These are a great, and cost effective way to tie all your looks together, add a little more to your decor, but not break the budget.

Is this your color scheme? Are you looking for unique ways to add bling to your wedding flowers? Contact me today to talk about custom designs for your silk wedding flower arrangements.

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 2 Reveal!

, , ,

I don’t have much to say about these custom silk wedding flowers, except…ENJOY!

These amazing photos are by the extremely talented Marissa Murdy. Check her out if you need a photographer for your wedding day!

Are these dresses amazing, or what?!

The photo below is a great example of why taking scale into account is hugely important. The custom altar arrangement and garlands I had created and modeled on my mantel at home seemed oversized and monstrous. But on this beautiful mantel on a much larger fireplace, it couldn’t have been any smaller! The grandeur of the fireplace and chandelier, the interesting texture of the stone and baskets and the size of the arrangements blended perfectly for a stunning and interesting altar!

Thanks again to Peyton for trusting me to create custom silk wedding arrangements for their big day! If you are interested in a mantel piece, bridal bouquet or whatever you can think of, contact me today!

Burgundy and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, , ,

Feel free to scroll down to see the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages because they are pretty great. But, please, take a minute and feast your eyes on this altar arrangement! This might be the biggest, baddest silk wedding flower arrangement I’ve ever done. It was almost 4 feet wide and over 2 feet tall, plus the custom garlands for both sides. This mix of burgundy Dahlia and Peonies, blush Roses and Peonies, white Dogwood and Roses, Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus was designing specifically for a fireplace mantel. And since I happen to have my very own fireplace mantel, I had the perfect place to model it!

So maybe you don’t have the need for a larger-than-life custom altar arrangement, but you are interested in custom silk wedding flowers and bouquets. These next photos should do the trick.

Peyton’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with most of the flowers you see above in a soft, romantic look.

The bridesmaid bouquets had just a hint of blush and burgundy in a round handtied style.

custom-silk-bridal-bouquet-wedding-flower-arrangements-boutonnieres-corsages

The boutonnieres and corsages were a variety of burgundy, blush, white and greenery. You can see below that all your personal flowers come labeled, making it super easy for whomever is doing the distribution to get them pinned to the correct person.

Tropical Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation & Review

, , , ,

Rounding out the end of Recreation Week is this stunner of a bouquet from a Mexico destination wedding. One of the great things about going somewhere is you get the benefit of all the special things of that location. In this case, this luscious tropical bouquet. What you give up is not being able to bring back your flowers to preserve. Kelsey’s bouquet had to be left behind, so she contacted me just a few days after getting home from her wedding to ask about having her bouquet recreated in silk wedding flowers. Take a look at the end product!

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

These AMAZING photos of Kelsey (who is even more stunning than her bouquet!) were taken by Mckay Moran of The Cloud Nine Co. Get in touch if you need an amazing photographer for your wedding day!

Kelsey’s bouquet was a mix of a giant King Protea, Roses and Baby’s Breath in white with a collar of Monstera, Palm and Banana greenery. This bouquet was not only beautiful but big. Just scroll back up to see it in Kelsey’s hands!

“I got the bouquet!! It looks absolutely beautiful it’s so close to my real one I had the day of and brings back such good memories I can cherish forever ! Thank you so much I love it !”

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation Review

, ,

To continue our reveal week of custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers, this stunning tear drop cascade was a year in the making! But if you don’t have a year, don’t panic. Typically, all I need is a couple of weeks and a few photos to bring a new custom bridal bouquet recreation to life!

Thanks to some photos from https://studiotwelve52.com/ provided by Wes, I was able to see all the details and flowers included in this gorgeous bouquet. But compare for yourself and let me know how I did!

silk-bridal-bouquet-recreation-custom-wedding-flowers
“There are many positive words I could use to describe Erin’s work. For brevity, though, I will stick with “Incredible”. My spouse has wanted an artificial recreation of their wedding bouquet since the day after our wedding. I figured the coinciding of our 4th anniversary (fruits and flowers) with the pandemic would be the best time to finally commission such a gift. The trouble is the original was a HUGE cascading arrangement with a lot of leafy drapery, and it’s hard to find a florist who can make convincing silk flowers in any kind of cascade arrangement without it looking, well... fake. Erin was happy to take on a challenge, and I could not believe the result of her efforts when I saw them. You could take this bouquet, photoshop it into my wedding pictures, and nobody would notice. I am beyond pleased and beyond impressed. Her services are efficient, communicative, and would be worth every penny at double or even triple the price, and I mean that quite seriously. Shipping was no problem, and the commission was finished ahead of schedule (though I ordered during the pandemic so I would not expect early completions in the future. You can’t rush ART). She was even willing to work out a payment schedule so that I could keep the order a surprise even with shared bank accounts. I intend to use and recommend Love is Blooming to everyone in need of silk flowers regardless of location.”

“I had Erin recreate my wife’s wedding bouquet as a birthday present. The end result was better than I could have ever expected.

Lavender, White and Navy Bridal Bouquet Recreation

, ,

Fifty percent of the time I’m working with husbands looking to surprise their wives for an upcoming anniversary or birthday. The other 50% of the time I’m working with the bride! When I started doing recreations, I never considered that brides would think of treating themselves to a recreation, but I love that they do! Landri contacted me about recreating her gorgeous lavender, white and navy bridal bouquet in custom silk flowers. We emailed back and forth and worked closely to get it just right. Landri even custom ordered the lavender Stock that she found and had them shipped to me to include in her bouquet. This was a group project in which all participants contributed;)

bridal-bouquet-recreation-silk-wedding-flowers-lavender-white-navy

The original bouquet, photographed by Photo by Emilie, was a lush mix of Roses, Ranunculus, Stock, Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Succulents.

Landri also decided to have the groom’s boutonniere recreated. It was a smaller Succulent, Ranunculus, Lavender, and some Caspia and greens.

“Erin did such an amazing job recreating my bouquet and husband’s boutonnière! They look almost exactly like the original and were very thoughtfully put together! She was very easy to work with and was even willing to incorporate flowers that I had found on my own! She completed them in a very timely manner and even sent me pictures throughout the process to get my input! The bouquet and boutonnière are absolutely beautiful and were exactly what I had imagined! I would definitely recommend Love is Blooming!”

Peach, Pink, Blue and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 2 Reveal & Review

, ,

There is so very little to say about these photos, except be sure and check out Caroline’s amazing photographer Taylor Sakata Photography and figure out how to hire her right now. Also, surround yourself with your closest friends, wear a dress you love, fix your hair up just right, look adoringly at your husband-to-be, and hold my flowers for at least few pictures before emailing them to me. So I’ve said enough, here are Caroline’s custom silk wedding flowers for her spring Georgia wedding.

“When I first started planning my wedding, I began searching Google for silk flower options. I had not heard of anyone who had gone this route, but I loved the idea of being able to keep my wedding bouquet forever. I was a little hesitant to order flowers online from someone in a different state, but I was immediately at ease after my first communication with Erin. She made each step of the process so easy and fun, and I appreciated that she always asked for my feedback and was willing to adjust to make my flowers perfect. They turned out better than I could have imagined! Not only was her pricing very reasonable, she also had my flowers done earlier than expected. It is so nice knowing that this aspect of my wedding planning is taken care of. I would recommend her over any flower shop any day. Erin’s customer service and quality of work are hard to beat.”
— Caroline | Georgia

There is such beauty in these photos and my flowers play just a small part. If you’d like to include custom silk bouquets in your wedding day, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote.

Peach, Pink, Blue, and Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 1

, ,

I love a spring bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers. This one was especially fun to design. Caroline gave me some creative leeway in designing her custom bouquets. She knew she wanted peach, pink, blue, and yellow then let me figure out the rest. I’m excited that later this week, I can share a few of her amazing photos!

The bridal bouquet was a round handtied style that was loose and whimsical. It incorporated peach Cabbage Roses and Poppies, pink Cosmos, blue Heather and yellow Billy Buttons. I suggested some Lamb’s Ear for a soft touch of “greenery” and Caroline was game. You can’t tell from the photos but this bouquet not only looked bouncy and light and fun, but it had some movement to it that made it even more real looking!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a similar mix of flowers, but I switched out the large Poppies for smaller ones to account for the smaller bouquet size.

The boutonnieres and corsages had the same mix of bright colors and interesting textures. Each one a little different from the other, but all matched the theme and color scheme of the bouquets.

Check back later this week to see our beautiful bride Caroline and her beautiful custom silk wedding flowers!

Yellow and White Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Today’s reveal is a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers from Jolyn. She contacted me about recreating her bouquet. They had tried to preserve it, but after “8 years and 3 moves” it didn’t hold up as well as they’d hoped. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the recreation and Jolyn’s original bouquet.

Silk Wedding Flowers for a Destination Wedding

, , ,

It’s been hot here in Minneapolis, so a tropical destination wedding seemed like a fitting blog post for this week! I don’t often get to do tropical themed wedding flowers, but this year I’ve done several. While most brides aren’t looking for over-the-top tropical themes, they do gravitate towards the bright colors and rich greenery that is often the backdrop for their wedding days. This is a great example of a hybrid silk bridal bouquet that incorporates some classic wedding flowers and colors along with brighter pops of color and that tropical foliage that is instantly recognizable and decidedly NOT Minnesotan greenery.

This bridal bouquet was a mix of pinks and whites, per the bride’s request. I used a variety of Peonies and Ranunculus, a few mauve Roses and some smaller seeds and Cosmos. The Palm branches and mini Monstera added some texture and shape to the bouquet so that it would look good in any environment, but especially a beach ceremony.

The bridesmaid bouquet was sized down and more round shaped than the bridal which was more of a modified cascade style. Both were wrapped in satin ribbon in the color Rosewater.

When Peonies are a main flower in the bouquets, I like to use Ranunculus for the boutonnieres and corsages. They have a similar shape and look as Peonies, but a much more appropriate size for being on a lapel or wrist.

The boutonnieres were custom matched to what the groom, groomsman, and ring bearers would be wearing. And since the ringbearers were her little boys, we had them coordinate with the groom’s boutonniere too. I added just a touch of greenery in the boutonnieres to that it all matched, in a sort of non-matchy way. The pin on style corsages were a mix of white and pink Peonies and greenery with a small spray of rhinestones for a little shine.

Planning a destination wedding but not sure what to do about flowers? Talk to me about your options for having that figured out before the plane lands…or even before you book your tickets for that matter!

Combining Inspiration Photos for the Perfect Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet

, , ,

I’m not going to let my head get too big here, but it’s pretty fun when I ask for inspiration photos and brides send me photos of my own work. In this case, the bride sent me photos of Haley’s champagne, ivory and gray silk wedding flowers and another more intricate bridal bouquet (recreation) and asked me to combine the two styles and designs into one romantic look. Challenge accepted!

This modified cascade style bridal bouquet incorporated a similar color scheme as the first bouquet with some of the same flowers and berries and some of the daintiness and smaller elements of the second bouquet.

The bouquet was made with blush centered Cabbage Roses, ivory Garden Roses, gray Berries, blush pink Calla Lilies, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, blush Heather, Lamb’s Ear and some mixed greens tucked in. The ever popular Antique White ribbon finished off this classy bouquet with partially wrapped stems.

The groom’s boutonniere was a nice complement to the bridal bouquet with a single Calla Lily, blush Heather, gray berries, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

Though this was for a small wedding, she also wanted some cake flowers for her two tier cake. I designed three different flower clusters that would give her baker some flexibility in placement.

Whether your wedding is big or small, silk wedding flowers allow flexibility, are budget friendly and they are just so darn pretty! Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist for a quote for your custom silk wedding flowers.
