Jewel Toned Summer Silk Wedding Flowers- Review and Reveal

, , ,

I love, love, loved doing these wedding flowers! Bride Catherine gave me her color palette and her permission to get creative with her bouquets, and her arrangements turned out stunning. These jewel toned summer silk wedding flowers were a mix of moody and bright colors with texture and greens for a unique look that worked for her summer wedding.

A huge thanks to these amazing images from their photographer Precious Pics!

Catherine’s handtied style round bridal bouquet was a mix of plum Tea Roses, navy Delphinium, yellow Ranunculus, orange Hydrangea, plum Poppies, orange Ranunculus, burgundy Roses, dusty pink Peonies, Blueberries and mixed greenery.

The bridesmaids carried clutch size bouquets with just a few of the flowers from the bridal bouquet, but in the same loose handtied style. All the bouquets were finished off with burlap wrap on the stems.

“I can’t say enough positive things about Love is Blooming. I had always loved the idea of a bold, jewel tone colored bouquet. However the quotes from local florists were wayyy out of our budget. I had almost given up when I came across Love is is Blooming. Erin was very responsive and did such good job listening to what I wanted while also adding in her own experience. The end result was exactly what I had been looking for at a fraction of the cost of a florist. She was even able to create a matching dog collar! I loved that I was able to get picture updates and make any adjustments before getting them and it was one less thing to have to worry about on the big day! Everyone, both guests and venue staff, at the wedding were shocked when they realized they were fake flowers as no one could tell until they were up close. Plus, my bridesmaids were so happy to be able to keep their flowers after the wedding. I am so incredibly grateful and highly recommend Love is Blooming to anyone looking for wedding flowers.”
— Catherine | Maryland

The groom’s boutonniere was a burgundy Rose, yellow Ranunculus, a bit of Hydrangea, Blueberries and matching greenery with a twine wrap on the stems.

Catherine had a lot of loved ones surrounding her on her big day and they all had a custom silk flower wedding arrangement. Even her precious pup got a custom silk flower dog collar to wear during the celebration.

Are jewel tones your jam? Love the moodier colors but getting married in the spring or summer? Let’s talk!

Dusty Rose, Cream and Green Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

, , ,

Dusty Rose might be the star of 2021 for bridal bouquets. It’s one of those colors that is soft, romantic, and a little out of the ordinary so it really stands out! Kourtney’s flowers are a great example of incorporating dusty rose into your silk wedding flowers as an accent and feature.

Kourtney’s bridal bouquet was a mix of custom dyed Roses in dusty Rose, ivory Garden Roses, ivory Cabbage Roses, white seeds, Fern and lots of Eucalyptus in a modified cascade style. Big and beautiful, this bouquet was a show-stopper!

The bridesmaid dresses were a shade of dusty rose, so Kourtney requested that their bouquets be a mix of cream and green. These simple style bouquets would allow Kourtney’s bouquet to stand out even more and for the bridesmaid dresses to be a great accent to the bridal bouquet as well. The flower girls had their own sweet mini bouquets of a single cabbage Rose and greenery.

Kourtney included a few custom honorary arrangements to honor family members who had passed away. These bouquet style arrangements are designed to be able to drop into vases that Kourtney purchased on her own. I wrapped them with a green ribbon so that if the vases were clear, the ribbon would blend in nicely with the stems.

The boutonnieres and corsages were a mix of cream flowers and a few dusty rose colored flowers mixed in. But all were simple and classic styles. These photos are to show how all the personal flowers come labeled, so that whoever is handing them out or doing the pinning knows who they are for.

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.

Navy, Burgundy and Bling Winter Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

, , ,

Over the last 18 months, I’ve worked with a record number of moms and sisters to design and create the perfect wedding flower bouquets for their daughter/sister. I love that picking out flowers has become a family event for so many! Tori’s silk flowers were a great example of the design process being completed second-hand, so to speak. Her mom, Tracey, was a great communicator and was quick to pass along Tori’s feedback of my design ideas and ultimately of the silk wedding flower arrangements themselves. Let’s take a look at what we designed together!

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style. At first glance you may be thinking, that’s clearly the tear drop style. And you are right! Sort of;) I designed this bouquet to look good from any angle so that if she wanted to hold it straight on, it would be a tear drop cascade. Or if she wanted to show off the rhinestone wrap on the handle, it could be held so that the cascade went to the side.

The design for her bouquet included deep hues of burgundy, navy, white and silver. I wanted to incorporate various textures for this winter wedding, keeping it soft, but interesting. I used burgundy Cabbage Roses, Calla Lilies, Amaranthus and Lamb’s Ear, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath along with gray Dusty Miller and dusty green Seeded Eucalyptus for her greenery. Tracey thought Tori would like some bling, so I sprinkled both small broaches and clear crystals throughout her bouquet.

The bridesmaids carried matching bouquets with the same mix of flowers, but in loose handtied style round bouquets. I even add just a * touch * of cascading Amaranthus to theirs to give it a little something different than a typical round style bridesmaid bouquet.

Check back later this week to see the reveal of Tori’s flowers!

And I know it’s only June, but winter weddings are just around the corner. If you are planning a winter wedding, now is the time to plan and order your custom silk wedding flowers. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist to get started!

Hiking in With Your Northwoods Silk Wedding Flowers - A Destination Wedding

, , , ,

One of the many things I learned in 2020 was some flexibility. I saw that same quality in a lot of my clients this past year. Minnesota clients of mine, especially, had to switch plans, reschedule dates, change venues, and even adjust wedding party members. When Karen contacted me about her daughter’s wedding, I loved the creativity they had come up with to still go forward with her daughter’s wedding. They were going up north, hiking into their location and doing a small ceremony in the beauty of nature. Isn’t that awesome? It also presented a few unique challenges: the arrangements needed to be packable and small.

Take a look at the package of destination silk wedding flowers I put together for Karen and her daughter.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of a single white Peony, ivory Ranunuculus, Fern, Seeded Eucalyptus and some mixed greenery. Karen wanted everything to look woodsy and natural, so I wrapped the stems in a sage green satin ribbon.

There was one bridesmaid bouquet that needed to be even smaller and still incorporate the same flowers. I reduced the amount of Ranunculus and greenery for a cute clutch style bouquet.

The groom and groomsman each had a single Ranunculus for their boutonnieres with a different mix of greenery in each. Karen had ordered a small cake that they wanted a small custom cake arrangement made for. I created a topper that could either be placed directly in the center, on one corner/side spreading over the cake, or hanging over the edge of the cake on the side. I like to give options with these sorts of custom arrangements so the bride can decide what she likes best.

If 2020 left you in a tail spin and you feel like everything has to change for your upcoming wedding plans, take heart! One of the things you could check off your list is your wedding flowers. With custom silk wedding flowers, you can order ahead of time, see what they look like while they are being made, and have them on hand months ahead of time to deal with any changes that come your way. And if that means hiking into the Northwoods with your custom silk wedding flowers, I got your back! Contact me today for a free quote!

Burgundy and White Silk Wedding Flowers

, , ,

Earlier this year I waxed poetic about sunflowers, and cascading bridal bouquets, and probably the color purple. But I hereby declare 2020 (besides being a ridiculous year) the year of burgundy wedding flowers. And as I just sent my first 2021 wedding off to it’s happy home, it looks like burgundy may be the color of 2021 as well. Here’s another example of some beautiful burgundy silk wedding flowers for a wedding earlier this fall.

Morgan initially approached me about creating a custom modified cascade style bridal bouquet for herself. She hoped to DIY the rest of her bouquets to save money. But after she saw her show stopping custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers, she came back for a second order that included bridesmaid bouquets and a toss bouquet to match. Take a look at these modern styled bouquets filled with lush greenery and high contrast colors.

The bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Peonies, white Roses, Seeded and Blue Eucalyptus, Sage greenery, white Heather, and green Amaranthus. This unique shape, the modified cascade, is becoming more popular as brides are looking for a more modern take on a traditional tear drop cascade.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller clutch style bouquets with just a handful of the burgundy Peonies and white Roses. I gave it that same loose look with all that awesome greenery.

Toss bouquets are traditionally smaller than the bridesmaid bouquets. Though there is always the option for a bigger bouquet if you want something more substantial to toss. Morgan opted for a smaller toss bouquet that we set apart with some pretty ribbon tails (left photo). She also decided to order a mini bouquet for her flower girl. It was essentially the same size as the toss bouquet, just without the ribbon tails.

Navy & Rosewood Silk Wedding Flower Bridal Bouquet

, ,

I absolutely loved Ali’s soft romantic color scheme: ivory and white with Rosewood pink and a hint of navy. She loved the idea of a modified cascade bouquet in silk wedding flowers so I chose some greenery that would contribute to a unique shape and style and here’s what we came up with!

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade shape with ivory Roses, white Spray Roses, white Heather, Baby’s Breath and Rosewood pink Roses. I filled in the bouquet with 3 different varieties of Eucalyptus and tied it off with navy satin ribbon.

“Erin was AMAZING to work with! From quick replies, exceptional customer service, to the final product, she was phenomenal! I recommend her a thousand times over! Thank you, Erin!!”
— Ali | Minnesota

Ali had a variety of other arrangements that needed to match the same look and feel. She added an honorary arrangement for grandparents who had passed away or wouldn’t be able to attend the wedding. This smaller arrangement was designed to pop into a vase of Ali’s choosing and placed at her ceremony site.

The bridesmaid bouquets (left) had the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet, minus the spray roses. The junior bridesmaid and toss bouquets (right) were an even more scaled back version of the bridal bouquet. Still charming though!

Boutonnieres and Corsages can be an important part of your custom silk wedding flowers. Here’s what we came up with for Ali’s boutonnieres and corsages.

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.

Check back later this week to see some more custom arrangements to match her wild wedding flowers- altar arrangement and aisle arrangements doing double duty. Can you say budget friendly?!

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.

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.

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!

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:

We’ve got all the classic fall colors but in brighter tones making for cheerier wedding flowers. If you are the type of bride who bucks the trend or doesn’t stick with the norms, contact me today to find out how your wedding flowers can reflect your unique personality.

Burgundy Cascade Silk Wedding Flower Review

,

After posting Janelle’s amazing raspberry and blush silk wedding flowers, the requests have poured in for quotes for similar style bouquets and color combinations. I love hearing from all of you who are looking for unique takes on burgundy flowers, modified cascade bouquets and how to add interesting texture to your custom silk wedding flowers.

For those of you checking me out for the first time, I wanted to share the photos Janelle sent me from her wedding day. She looks stunning, as do her bridesmaids! And I gotta say, her flowers looked great in front of the camera too. So if you’ve been wondering how silk wedding flowers compare to fresh, here’s a great look at how versatile and realistic they actually are.

These beautiful images were taken by Empiria Studios right here in Minneapolis. Check them out if you are looking for a great local photographer.

Burgundy-modified-cascade-silk-wedding-bouquet-roses-eucalyptus-branches-2.jpg

These ladies were brave for these photos, but these shots were worth some shivers!

Janelle came to me during the design process with an idea for her centerpieces. She was planning to do chargers with candles and wanted some matching greens and roses for each table. I used some of the same seeded Eucalyptus branches from the bouquets and bundled them up with some of the roses so that whoever her decorator was could just grab a bundle and arrange each table. This was a great, budget-friendly option that also fit well with Janelle’s overall style and theme.

“Love is Blooming was fantastic to work with!! My flowers were so beautiful and Erin was so great to work with. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for beautiful flowers on their big day!

Regency and Lilac Purple Silk Wedding Flowers- Part 1

,

Pam called me with some ideas about she wanted for her wedding flowers. Her wedding dress was regency purple and she wanted to accent with that color in her bouquets, but was worried about it not being a close enough match. I sent her over to my blog to look at some bouquets I had previously made and she fell in love with this cascading bouquet that actually had a lighter shade of purple. This lighter shade was a great match to what her bridesmaids would be wearing, so I decided to design the bouquets from an “opposites” approach. Basically, the bride is wearing regency purple, but carrying white and lilac while the bridesmaids are wearing lilac and carrying white and darker purple flowers. That way we didn’t have to have exact matches, the purples would stand out against the dresses and both colors would be included. Take a look at what we came up with!

Orchids, Calla Lilies, lilac Blossoms, Baby’s Breath

Bridesmaid Bouquet: Hydrangea, Waxflower. Toss Bouquet: Hydrangea, Waxflower, Baby’s Breath.

Here’s a look at the bouquets all together to see the contrast between the purples. They look lovely together!

Here’s a shot of a couple of their boutonnieres and corsages. She chose to have the regency purple in the groom’s boutonniere and switched it to the baby’s breath for the other boutonnieres. The only corsage was an attendant’s wristlet that featured each of the types of flowers.

If you are wearing a dress that is a non-traditional color and you want to incorporate that into your bouquets, contact me today to find out how we can work it all in without getting too saturated by it. Check back later this week to see some photos from Pam’s wedding!

Dark Purple Silk Wedding Flowers

,

Winett contacted me several months ago for her May 2019 wedding. We had lots of time to work on ideas, but she was eager to get it figured it out and check it off the list. So even though I’m writing this in November, her silk wedding flowers have been finished for about a week-Christmas is coming early for Winett!

As you may know, or maybe you don’t, purple is one of the hardest colors to work with. It can border on being pink, or red, or blue. So one of my approaches is to use a variety of shades for both an interesting and non-clashy look.

Winett knew she wanted to incorporate orchids, specifically Dendrobiums, so I hunted until I found the perfect ones. I then made some suggestions to include other orchids, Calla Lilies, Anemone, Sweet Pea and another type of Lily. Winett loves her flowers and so do I!

Bridal bouquet in cascading style and bridesmaids in handtied style.

Winett kept her flowers simple and instead of giving boutonnieres and corsages out, she kept to her main girls: the bridesmaids and the flower girls. Below you can see a bouquet and pomander for her flower girls. We kept the same color scheme but switched up some of the flowers.

Have a tricky color scheme you are working with? Silk flowers offer a wide variety of colors and types and all year round too!
