Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sitting down to write this post, I’m once again blown away at what 2022 brought for Love Is Blooming custom silk wedding flowers and my family! This year had me working on 72 weddings of all sizes and 18 bridal bouquet recreations in silk flowers! Each of these clients got a slice of my time and my creativity, and I loved working on each custom design. This job has allowed me more time with my family because of its flexibility and income that pays for things like braces and unexpected repairs. I have also gained the ability to be more generous and the opportunity to be a part of some really happy wedding days and celebrations :)

So a huge, heartfelt, THANK YOU from me and my family for making 2022 Love Is Blooming’s best year yet! I’m praying for more love, more joy and more peace for your families in 2023!

Plum, Lavender and Gray Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

I’m excited to get to share another beautiful purple themed wedding with you today. Kennedy contacted me looking for custom silk wedding flowers with a variety of shades of purple and white flowers. I made some flower suggestions based on the inspiration photos she sent me and we collaborated on the composition of the bouquets until everything was just right. Let’s take a look at some of these lovely images provided by her photographer, TwentySix Photography. You can also find them on Facebook.

Here’s our beautiful bride, Kennedy! Her bridal bouquet was a teardrop cascade style with a mix of white Garden Roses, lavender Cabbage Roses, lavender gray Peonies, Lavender, plum Cosmos, lavender Freesia, white Heather and seeds and Ruscus.

Kennedy really liked the look of the boutonnieres being made of a mix of smaller, more delicate flowers. I played around with the combinations to make sure we included her colors, but kept them unique.

The bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers to compliment Kennedy’s bouquet and their dresses.

The flowers turned out better than I could have imagined ! So easy to put the order together with what I wanted and even make simple changes throughout.
— Kennedy | West Viriginia

The sweet flower girl got a matching floral crown with touches of lavender, plum and white for a perfectly cohesive, and adorable, look.

Custom Silk Flower Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

Back in June, I shared Sarah’s custom silk bridal bouquet I made to match her existing bridesmaid bouquets. It was a lovely mix of purple and white flowers with a touch of navy. Her silk bridal bouquet was a loose, round hand-tied style full of white Garden and Cabbage Roses, lavender Garden Roses, medium purple Ranunculus and cabbage Roses, plum tea Roses, Lavender, white Baby’s Breath, Waxflower and Blueberries. I made it nice and lush with adding a variety of greenery, including: Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, Standard Eucalyptus and Ruscus. Her accent color was navy, so she chose a satin navy ribbon to finish off her bouquet. Today I get to share a few photos from Sarah’s big day provided by her photographer Emily Anderson Photography. Check her out here on Instagram and here on Facebook.

Erin was wonderful to work with. I sent her some ideas I had in mind for my bridal bouquet and colors. She sent me a mock up super fast and was great at changing out flowers I didn’t like. I loved my bouquet and so happy with how it turned out. I was so afraid of my flowers looking fake and I can contest it was absolutely beautiful and far from looking fake. I would recommend Erin and go to her again for any floral need.

Spring Colors Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

Victor reached out to me about recreating his wife’s beautiful bouquet in silk wedding flowers for an anniversary present. It was a lovely mix of pink and white roses, bright pink lisianthus, soft pink calla lilies, white Freesia and plum seeds in a loose hand-tied style bouquet. He sent me some photos of the original bouquet from his photographer at Justin Casalandra Photography. Let’s take a look at some side by sides to compare!

I had Erin re-create my wife’s wedding bouquet for our silk 12th wedding anniversary. She got it right on and my wife absolutely loved it. Erin was very professional and helpful through the whole process, sending me updates as she completed the work and making adjustments based on the feedback I gave her. The bouquet was completed and delivered on the timeline that she had promised. If you are looking for a great recreation I highly recommend.

Black, Red and Burgundy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Michelle’s black, red and burgundy silk wedding flowers were show stoppers. This unique color combination is not one I had worked before and I was super excited because she also wanted some elements that would definitely turn up the glam on her arrangements. These amazing images are by Parker’s Images. Check them out on their website or Facebook! Let’s get a closer look at Michelle’s bouquet!

Michelle’s teardrop cascading silk bridal bouquet was a mix of red and black Garden Roses, dark burgundy Calla Lilies, black Skimmia Berries and a touch of greenery. To crank up the style we added in skinny black feathers and a large black rhinestone broach.

The bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets with the same mix of flowers and an asymmetrical accent of the skinny black feathers.

Here’s all the handsome men with their boutonnieres. The groom’s boutonniere was a red Spray Rose, Skimmia and feathers with a touch of greenery. We simplified the groomsmen to be just the dark burgundy Calla Lily and some feathers. All bouquets and boutonnieres were finished off with a wine red satin ribbon.

Erin did a fabulous job on our wedding flowers. She was very communitive throughout the whole process and gave progress photos while she worked on them. If I had any changes or requests, she did everything to accommodate them. They look amazing and were very durable. Guests wanted to take my flowers home but we loved them so much we couldn’t part with them. They look very realistic and now we have keepsakes forever. I would 100% recommend Love is Blooming and Erin. She is just the sweetest to work with.
— Michelle | Illinois

Michelle wanted to incorporate matching flowers into her centerpieces. She already had lanterns, so I designed these small clusters of a red and a black Garden Rose with a little bit of greenery to tie on with matching ribbon.

She wanted a little something more for the head table, so I suggested using a garland with black and red roses dispersed along the length of the garland. It was a great way to add floral arrangements without blocking anyone’s view of the happy couple and the bridal party.

Thanks again to Michelle for sharing her beautiful wedding day photos with us. Are you looking to incorporate this color scheme into your wedding florals? Silk wedding flowers might be the answer. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to send me your ideas!

Sunflowers, Coral Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers-Reveal

I have the sweetest set of wedding photos to share with you today. Caitlin was a local bride who I got to meet and work with and she has the best smile! Her vision for her custom silk wedding flowers included featuring some sunflowers and greenery and a touch of coral pink. She wanted a more natural outdoorsy look to the bouquets to reflect their interests and personalities. And speaking of personality, Caitlin had custom shoes painted to match the wedding flowers!! So without giving too much more away, let’s take a look at these beautiful images from So.Jean Photography of Caitlin’s sunflower, coral pink and white silk wedding flowers.

Caitlin’s bouquet was a loose cascading style bridal bouquet with Sunflowers, white Anemone, Ranunculus and Larkspur, coral pink Lilac, seeded filler, Lamb’s Ear, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus. It was lush, full, classic and such a fun design to collaborate on!

This detail shot is awesome and shows those custom shoes off.

The bridesmaids wore sage green dresses in a variety of styles and carried loose handtied round bouquets that had the same mix of flowers and greenery as the bridal bouquet. The boutonnieres were Anemone with a touch of the coral pink Lilac, greens and the groom’s had a mini sunflower to make it stand out a little from the rest of the guys.

Caitlin’s ring bearers were two different ages, so I used mini sunflowers with magnet backings to keep even their littlest ring bearer safe from pins!

I don’t have a whole lot more to say about the flowers, but I had to share these amazing golden hour photos with all of you!

Thanks again to Caitlin for sharing the photos from So.Jean Photography, for being responsive, collaborative and so joyful to work with!

Bright and Colorful Bridal Bouquet Recreation-Reveal and Review

Today I get to share a really bright and vibrant bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers with you! Matt was looking to have his wife’s bouquet recreated. He sent me a few photos of the original that showed all the details really well, which made things so easy for me! This lush and vibrant bouquet was a mix of white and blush Garden Roses, magenta Garden Roses, magenta Spray Roses, white Hydrangea, green Snowball bush, Dusty Miller, Fern and Eucalyptus. Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside the original!

I had Erin recreate my wife’s wedding bouquet. I cannot thank her enough. The bouquet is amazing and my wife loves it. She hesitated for a second thinking I had somehow preserved the entire bouquet which just an indicator of how spot on Erin was in the recreation. I cannot recommend her enough!

White Silk Wedding Flowers with Greenery - Reveal and Review

Savannah contacted me last year to start the design process for her custom white silk wedding flower arrangements with greenery. She sent me a variety of inspiration photos, noting her favorites and included a request for some of her favorite flowers she wanted incorporated. She recently sent me some photos from her big day that I get to share with you! These amazing images were created by Leslie Duffy Photography.

Here’s our happy couple! Savannah’s bouquet was a modified cascade style bridal bouquet with a mix of white Peonies, Ranunculus, Cabbage Roses and Astrantia with Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and a touch of sage greenery. Her bouquet had a classic look that could work with any season and really any style. Savannah’s dress had lots of texture, so the bouquet design needed to match the elegance, but not take away from it! I mean, take a look at the back of that dress!

The bridesmaids carried loose, round, handtied style bouquets with the same mix of flowers and greenery.

I am so happy I went with Love is Blooming! I had a phenomenal experience—from working with Erin and receiving her timely emails, to ordering and paying, to receiving my flowers with tons of time before my wedding. Not to mention they were stunning and looked even better than the inspo photos I sent. This was so easy, stress free and cost effective. I highly recommend!
— Savannah | Wisconsin

This is such a unique shot and a great way to include your wedding party and still be the obvious VIP’s:)

Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal And Review

Nathan reached out to me to recreate his wife’s beautiful bridal bouquet. It was a mix of salmon, light peach, and blush pink Garden and Spray Roses, two tone Spider Mums, burgundy Carnations, plum Scabiosa, burgundy Astilbe, and a lush mix of Eucalyptus. Let’s take a look at the side-by-side.

My wife absolutely loved the perfect re-creation of her bouquet! Erin was incredible to work with from her communication to her attention to detail. We couldn’t be happier with this exceptional keepsake to remember our wedding day!

Jewel Tone and Woodland Theme Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I’m so excited to share Sarah’s beautiful woodland themed silk wedding flowers that had bright pops of color and jewel tones throughout. These amazing images are from the very talented JLA Photography out of Virginia. Let’s take a look at this special wedding day!

Sarah and her groom’s venue had wood tones throughout so she really wanted everything to pop against the backdrop while also complementing the berry pink bridesmaid dresses. Her inspiration photos had various types of flowers and colors and once we narrowed down which colors we wanted to include, we came up with a really striking combination for her bouquet. Sarah’s whimsical woodland bouquet was a loose handtied style with navy Delphinium, berry Peonies and Dahlia, spice orange Ranunculus, eggplant Poppies, blue Clematis, white seeds, trailing greenery, twigs and bright pink Lotus flowers. The Lotus had special meaning to Sarah and because she chose silk wedding flowers, I could actually make this happen. In nature, Lotus flowers grow in water, so cutting them and placing in a bouquet would mean they would wilt rather quickly.

I stumbled upon the Love Is Blooming blog through a simple Google search and fell in love with the beautiful jewel tone creations by Erin. I knew I wanted something similar for my August 2022 wedding. Erin was extremely responsive, answering all my questions and providing thoughtful suggestions. She was able to stay within my budget and incorporated a woodland aesthetic to match our style. I enjoyed watching her creativity flow and she graciously included the personalizations I requested to make it one-of-a-kind.

The final result was a collection of flowers that had meaningful symbolism perfectly curated by Love Is Blooming. Similar flowers were used in the bouts, mother of the bride corsages and bridesmaid bouquets.
Magenta Peonies-love, honor, romance
Eggplant Poppies-consolation, remembrance
Spice Ranunculus-charm, having a crush
Navy Delphinium-cheerfulness & goodwill
Plum Dahlia-beauty, commitment, and kindness
Blue Clematis-ambition, aspiration
Pink Lotus- purity, rebirth, strength (my favorite flower and in honor of a dear therapy horse, Lotus, who passed in Dec. 2021)

Thank you, Erin, for the beautiful work!
— Sarah | Virginia

I just love the way those dresses pop against all the greenery!

The bridesmaid carried complementary but very different bouquets from Sarah. She had previously bought some really pretty pre-made bouquets but they needed a little something special. I was able to add in a few more flowers to dress them up to match. The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of white and ivory peonies, roses and Dahlia. I found Tear Roses in a deep berry pink color that were a great match to the dresses. For a little more texture and color we also add in some pink Waxflower and finished with a little bit of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

Trying to figure out how to do a woodland theme without adding a Gnome to your bouquet? Silk flowers are the perfect way to find the right mix of flowers, be confident in the arrangements you’ll be carrying on your wedding day, and keep your budget in check.

Blush and White Destination Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Back in July, I shared photos of a pretty little bridal bouquet I made for Heather. I needed to post an update once Heather sent me her professional photos because they are STUNNING! From her vintage inspired dress to the colorful back grounds, these photos are inspiring! The amazing images are by Andi Artigue .Let’s take a look at Heather’s silk flowers for a Vegas destination wedding!

Heather sent me inspiration photos that included roses, orchids and a few tropical accents. She originally wanted all white but decided to add in some blush for contrast. Her asymmetrical cascade bridal bouquet included white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white and nude pink Garden Roses, white Baby’s Breath and blush pink Anthurium. We planned for a smaller bouquet to accommodate her travel needs, but as you can see this bouquet was still high impact despite it’s smaller size.

So happy I found Love Is Blooming to create my custom silk bouquet!

Erin was great. She worked with my (many) inspo pictures to pick out all of the flowers and other elements that I wanted. She also helped me pick out the right size and shape since I would be flying with my bouquet and was worried about how to transport something more traditional.

She was super responsive and provided several updates to the status of my bouquet and asked for feedback before shipping (I didn’t have any as her creation was perfect and more than everything I envisioned).

Erin truly made something that could have been very stressful so easy and I would recommend her business to anyone!
— Heather | Texas

Heather’s dress was a beautiful lace number, so we matched that look with soft pink satin ribbon wrapped with lace and trailing lace tales. It goes with her dress so well!

Boho Chic Wedding with Sunflowers, Dusty Blue and Ivory - Reveal

I am in love with the look of today’s featured wedding! Ashley had a specific vision for her wedding flowers and was able to really communicate that well as we hunted for the perfect flowers. Her colors were dusty blue, yellow, greenery and hints of ivory to match her dress. She wanted to incorporate a specific type of Dahlia, some Sunflowers, and Forget-Me-Nots in her cascading style bridal bouquet. I also added in Ranunculus, mini Sunflowers, Queen Anne’s Lace and a variety of greenery for a full, textured bouquet. Thanks to Kassandra Russell at Granite Stag Photography, we get to see some photos from this beautiful wedding day!

One of my favorite details from Ashley’s custom silk wedding flowers actually has nothing to do with me:) She added beautiful macrame wraps to each of the bridal party bouquets. They complemented her amazing lacey, crochet-look dress. This is a great example of how you can customize anything to make your silk wedding flowers completely unique, and completely you!

Here we get a little peak at the custom hair piece made to match Ashley’s bouquet. It pairs great with a veil, but can stand on its own too!

Here’s their awesome bridal party featuring attire in different shades of blue.

The bridesmaids carried round hand tied bouquets with a slightly different mix of flowers. Ashley wanted to incorporate Billy Buttons into their bouquets, and we left out the Dahlia and the Forget-Me-Nots to keep them as special elements for her bouquet. Their clutch style bouquets had a few Ranunculus, Sunflowers and Billy Buttons with the same greenery as the bridal bouquet.

We love our florals! ...I am speechless! They’re beautiful!
— Ashley | Louisiana

The backdrop for their ceremony was stunning. Ashley wanted flowers for the arch that featured the Sunflowers and Dahlias and filled in with greenery. As you can see, they didn’t need to be big and bold because the woods were the main feature!

These simple centerpieces incorporated her flowers and colors in mini bouquets. Ashley had picked out vases on her end, so I created these mini bouquets to work with what she had. Another benefit of silk flowers is that I work with your needs to come up with budget friendly options that are beautiful!

I mean, we gotta show the puppies, right?

I thought this was the cutest shot to end with. Their sweet flower girls had flower crowns with some mini accent flowers and baby’s breath.

Navy and Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

It’s always great to be a part, as the florist, for such happy occasions. But it’s even more special when it’s family! This summer, I was given the privilege of creating a few special arrangements for the marriage of my brother-in-law to his amazing bride, Melinda. It was a joyful day of celebrating the addition of Melinda and her daughter into our family. Let’s take a look at this navy and gold themed backyard wedding.

Melinda wanted mostly greenery and succulents featured in her modified cascade style bouquet. As we worked through the design, we decided to incorporate some navy roses, lighter blue Forget-me-Nots and added some glam factor with gold mini Palm leaves. Her bouquet was full of texture and movement from the Eucalyptus, Lamb’s Ear, Willow, Fern and Succulents. Their two girls were their wedding party, so I created two mini bouquets featuring a Succulent, Forget-Me-Nots, gold mini Palm and mixed greenery.

Timeless arrangements that you will cherish. Erin has a true talent that will make all your wedding flower dreams come true. My flowers were exactly what I envisioned.
— Melinda | Minnesota

With such an awesome back drop, we kept the altar decorations simple with a swag of mixed greenery and some gold mini Palm accents.

What started out as the groom joking about a balloon arch, turned into a show-stopping entrance to the reception area. I also wanted to show you the amazing cake by Cakes For Your Occasions, who happens to be my Mother-in-Law/the Groom’s mom. If you are local and looking for a cake that’s beautiful to look at and tastes amazing too, check her out!

I had to end with my sweet, adorable and delightful nieces. Aren’t they so joyful?

If you are looking for ways to incorporate florals into your backyard wedding, custom silk wedding flowers could be a great option to enhance your outdoor venue. Contact me today to talk about how I can make that happen for you!

Dusty Pink and Dusty Blue Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

Rebecca contacted me for her May wedding and wanted to incorporate some dusty pink wedding flowers to complement her dusty blue bridesmaid dresses. And just like this wedding I featured a few weeks ago, her bridesmaids got to choose a style of dress that they liked. I just love this color combination and can’t wait to share these arrangements with you!

Rebecca wanted to be sure and credit her awesome vendors, so if you are in Minnesota check out her photographer Laura Brenden Photography, makeup by Maggie Jensen (IG: maggiej_makeup), and the venue was Lost Spur Golf and Event Center.

Rebecca’s bouquet was a mix of ivory Cabbage Roses, dusty pink Peonies, dusty pink mini Roses, Lamb’s Ear and standard Eucalyptus in modified cascade style bridal bouquet. This asymmetrical design is a go-to of mine for the simple fact that it looks good from the front AND the side, so if you you forget to hold it a certain way, it’s still going to photograph great.

Look at these beautiful ladies! The bridesmaids carried full round, handtied styled bouquets with the same mix of flowers. The flower girls had little mini bouquets that were just the perfect size.

We absolutely loved the flowers that we got for our wedding day. Erin did a great job keeping us updated and including any ideas that we had. Amazing job and gorgeous flowers!
— Rebecca | Minnesota

Rebecca wanted simple flowers for the head table so I created a swag that laid in front of the bride and groom. It incorporated the same mix of flowers and greenery and was low enough that every one could see the happy couple. I also usually suggest having the bouquets do double duty for reception décor. The photos below show how that works out. Just have your bridesmaids drop their bouquets in a vase along the table when they enter the reception area.

I love these detail shots!

Peach, Desert Coral and Soft Yellow Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I LOVED the color palette of Cheyenne’s custom silk wedding flowers. Her bridesmaids were wearing shades of peach, desert coral and soft yellow and we wanted to incorporate those colors as closely as possible along with sunflowers as a main flower. I sent her some photos of flower suggestions and we narrowed them down to the perfect combination! Let’s look at these beautiful photos from her photographer that you can find here: Little Laugh Box on Facebook.

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-peach-coral-yellow-bridal-bouquet-boutonniere

Cheyenne carried a cascading style bouquet with soft yellow Sunflowers, Toast Roses, Peach Roses, and ivory Cabbage Roses. We added a hint of Seeded Eucalyptus for contrast and it was such a stunning bouquet.

I love these detail shots!

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of Toast Roses, ivory Cabbage Roses a single Sunflower and some greenery. They worked so well with the bridesmaid dress colors!

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-peach-coral-yellow-bridal-bouquet-bridesmaids-bouquets
Erin was wonderful to work with, and her prices are so affordable for her work! She worked with me from the start on selecting colors, suggesting ideas, and making sure I got everything I wanted. I am so glad I found her to do the floral arrangements, and the silk bouquets look incredible! My favorite part of having silk flowers is that I can keep them forever! I currently have my wedding bouquet on my fireplace mantle on display.

If you’re hesitant on getting silk flowers, I can testify that they are just as good (if not better) than real flowers! I will be telling everyone I know to use Erin for their floral needs.
— Cheyenne | Texas

Cheyenne also wanted some flowers for an accent on her cake. We decided which flowers we wanted on there and I sent them loose for her baker to place on the cake.

Thanks again to Cheyenne, for sharing her wedding day with us! Are your bridesmaids wearing a variety of colors that you’d like to match your flowers to?

White and Blush Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

My brides are just the best and send me such amazing photos of their wedding days. Let’s take a look at Melanie’s white and blush custom silk wedding flowers today. Her photographer is the very talented Northern Honey Photography. If you are a Minnesotan and need someone amazing for your wedding day, get in touch with them for your photography needs!

Look at this great looking couple! Melanie was so easy to work with and had a clear vision of her flowers. We stuck with all white for her cascading bridal bouquet. It included Cabbage Roses, Garden Roses, Larkspur, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus. It was such a classic style!

Her bridesmaids wore dusty blue and she wanted a touch of blush pink, so we added a couple pink roses into their round handtied bouquets. The groomsmen wore matching blue pink roses for their boutonnieres.

If you are looking for wedding flowers, stop now because you have found your girl! Erin is SERIOUSLY amazing! I showed her my inspiration pictures, and she recreated the exact bouquets I was thinking of! The bouquets looked so real that my mother-in-law even put her corsage in the fridge! She had no idea they weren’t real. The flowers stayed in perfect condition the whole day, and let me tell you, it was super windy. All the bridal party looked great! The flowers used were great quality. Erin is also so flexible and responds quickly! I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. I wish I could give 10/5 stars! I am so happy and grateful for Love Is Blooming!
— Melanie | Minnesota

This next photo is the perfect way to show you what I always suggest to save money in your decor budget. Line your head table with vases and as each couple gets called in to the reception venue, have your bridesmaids drop their bouquet in one of the vases along the table. Voila! Instant decor:)

Thanks again to Melanie for being a dream to work with and for sharing these beautiful photos with me.

Copper and Cream Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

What I LOVE about my job is the creativity! Cressie contacted me and wanted to have copper somehow incorporated into her wedding flowers. Finding ways to incorporate unique accents, like copper or peacock feathers or pinecones (I could go one) is a fun challenge. It needs to be noticeable, but not in a “I just put copper piping in your bouquet” kind of way. I went on the hunt and found this beautiful copper-tinged Sword Eucalyptus that felt like the perfect touch for her custom silk flower bouquets. Let’s take a look at the photos Cressie sent over from her very talented photographer, Shawgo Studios.

For Cressie’s bouquet, I used a variety of cream silk wedding flowers. My favorites were the Sophia Roses that had a deeper, almost taupe center to them. They added so much depth. She also had Cabbage Roses, Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus for more traditional types of greenery. Both Cressie and her bridesmaids carried round handtied style bouquets.

I still love the look of varying shades and styles of bridesmaid dresses. And I bet the bridesmaids love it too!

The flowers looked amazing!

Custom Silk Wedding Flower Review

I shared Kelsey’s bright and bold custom silk wedding flowers back in January, and recently, Kelsey took the time to send in a review in honor of her upcoming one year anniversary. Hearing from real people with real experiences is a great way to vet a vendor for your wedding day. And of course, I’ll take any excuse to show off my awesome clients :) Let’s hear what Kelsey had to say!

Photo provided by Nick G. who is moving on from his career in photography, but I’m so grateful for his permission to share his beautiful work!

Coming up on our 1 year anniversary has me going back through all of our wedding photos. I still can’t get enough of how wonderful a job Erin did for my bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets. We loved them so much that both my mom and I are using the bouquets as floral arrangements in our respective homes (another reason to go with silk!). From hearing my eclectic ideas and array of colors to making last minute changes, Erin was a dream to work with. My maid of honor got married a couple months later and made sure to use Erin, as well!

Yellow, Dusty Blue and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

I really love today’s set of photos that I get to share with you. Zephyr’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of yellow, dusty blue and ivory. We had a plan for her bouquet when she placed her order and then she saw Lexi’s bridal bouquet and liked the shape and look so much that we decided to use that as the inspiration for her bouquet. Let’s take a look at the beautiful images from Photographs by Julie. And if you want, you can find her here on Facebook.

Zephyr’s bouquet was a mix of yellow Roses, blue Dogwood and Hydrangea, ivory Cabbage Roses and Anemone with ivy and greenery. Look at the train on her dress! Doesn’t she look stunning??

Erin is AMAZING! She made all of the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres! She is the kindest most thoughtful vendor and you won’t regret it!!
— Zephyr | Pennsylvania

I’m loving the trend of dusty blue, it’s moody and classic and perfect for a variety of seasons.

Thanks again to Zephyr for sharing photos of her big day and to Photographs by Julie for her amazing photos.

Autumn Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

We are just turning the corner into fall here in Minnesota, and I thought it would be the perfect time to share Madia’s autumn themed silk wedding flowers. Her full cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of orange, burgundy, ivory and blue with a variety of greenery to fill it out. She sent me some gorgeous photos from her photographer Anita Louise Photography.

Thank you so much, I loved them!! I keep my bouquet displayed in my library.
— Madia | Ohio

Madia had a lot of texture to her bouquets that made them really interesting up close but also high impact from a distance.
