Cinderella Inspired Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I’ve done a few Disney weddings in my 19 years of business, but this might be a favorite. Okay, really they are all my favorite :) Olivia’s custom silk wedding flowers were Cinderella inspired with the pale blue and white color scheme. I love the subtlety of the theme but with some bigger, magical touches in her bridal bouquet. You’ll see what I mean when I show you these beautiful images from Southern Palm Studios.

Here’s our happily-ever-after couple! Olivia’s bouquet was a classic round handtied bridal bouquet with a mix of Cinderella blue Roses and Baby’s Breath, white Hydrangea, and Eucalyptus.

Picture perfect! In this detail shot, you can also see the rhinestone Mickey I added to the handle of the bouquet. And to the left of her bouquet, you can catch a glimpse of one of the mini bouquets the mothers carried. These small bouquets were a mix of Cinderella blue Roses, white Baby’s Breath and Eucalyptus. Simple but elegant, just like the moms!

Here’s where things got magical…a horse and carriage entrance for Olivia! Of course with a huge smile on her face!

“This company is absolutely amazing! The amount of people at my wedding who said that they thought my flowers were real the entire time was crazy! And the amazing thing is that I get to keep my bridal bouquet forever now! I would highly suggest this company for your silk flower needs!”
— Olivia | Florida

Here is their lovely wedding party! The bridesmaids carried lanterns—love that touch— and the groomsmen wore blue roses to match the dresses and the theme.

If you are curious about what it might look like for moms to carry mini bouquets, this is a great example. Looks pretty natural to me!

What an amazing fairytale day for our couple!

Red, Black and Gold Renaissance Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Have you considered a themed wedding? Today’s custom silk wedding flowers are a great example of incorporating a theme, without going overboard. Lauren’s red, black and gold wedding was set at a Renaissance Fair, and I can’t wait for you to see it! We really wanted to complement her wedding dress and her groom’s attire. Let’s take a look at some photos from Kacy Hughes Photography from Lauren’s big day!!

Lauren’s wedding gown was a show stopper! With the red satin and gold overlay, it was the perfect look for Renaissance royalty! We wanted to incorporate her three wedding colors into the bouquet, with the red and gold being prominently featured. Her teardrop cascade bouquet featured red Garden Roses and Dahlia, burgundy Calla Lilies, black Skimmia Berries, gold Ruscus and black Feathers.

“I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did with the flowers. They matched our outfits and the aesthetic PERFECTLY! Once again, thank you so much for the wonderful work you did on our flowers. They were absolutely top-notch, and I’m looking forward to getting them shadowboxed so that we can forever keep them as decorative souvenirs.”
— Lauren | Arizona

The groom’s boutonniere was a red Garden Rose, black Skimmia Berries, gold Ruscus and black Feathers.

“I had my wedding at the Renaissance Festival and wanted to have silk flowers so that I could keep them for posterity. I found Erin online and she immediately got to work. She knocked this bouquet and the boutonniere out of the park! Quick, courteous, and responsive; highly recommend her!”
— Lauren | Arizona

The mothers wore pin on style corsages with a red Garden Rose, burgundy Calla Lily, black Skimmia Berries, gold Ruscus and gold ribbon.

Have you considered a Renaissance themed wedding? Or perhaps you’re wearing a wedding dress that you want your bridal bouquet to match? Silk flowers are a great option for styling ahead of time. You have the confidence of knowing your flowers will be exactly what you wanted for your big day, theme or no theme!

Friday the 13th Silk Wedding Flowers - Part 2

, , ,

As promised, here’s part 2 of Amanda’s gothic Friday the 13th wedding. While this part of the celebrations didn’t take part on Friday the 13th, it was just as special and unique an event for our couple. And lest I fail to mention it, custom silk wedding flowers are perfect for this scenario! Amanda was able to bring her bouquet out in weather for their vow exchange in St. Paul, not have to worry about rain for photos and then pack it up and travel to South Dakota and hike up to some stunning locations for their private ceremony and photos! Whether you are having two ceremonies, eloping, a traditional destination wedding or want your flowers to survive any kind of weather, custom silk wedding flowers are the most versatile and hardy option out there. Now that I’m off my soap box, let’s see more amazing photos from Winsome Photography!

Can you have a more picturesque kiss than this one? I don’t know how far they had to hike to find these locations, but they look flawless in their wedding attire!

“Erin was amazing to work with! She was able to understand our vision and truly surpassed our expectations. She incorporated all the little details we wanted into them - including a fake raven skull for my husbands boutonniere. She was also able to make a flower collar for our new puppy that was adjustable since she was still growing. In additional to all of that, the flowers also traveled extremely well! We used them for a small ceremony in St. Paul, MN and again for a private vow exchange in South Dakota. We HIGHLY recommend Erin and are so glad we went with her. We are able to cherish our wedding florals forever now!”

Cinderella Blue in Destination Silk Wedding Flowers Part 2 - Reveal & Review

, , ,

Earlier this week, I shared with you Alysya’s Cinderella blue custom silk wedding flowers for her destination wedding at Disney! Today, I get to share more magical photos from her wedding day, inside the park! She sent me more photos from her Disney photographer, Ty Boyce of Disney Fine Art Photography. Not only do we get to see the beautiful flowers and our beautiful bride again, but we get to see them in some iconic locations. Let’s take a look at the magic!

“My husband and I had a small destination wedding at Disney World and Erin provided our personal floral. We ordered my bouquet, two smaller bouquets for the bridesmaids, the grooms boutonnière, and two boutonnières for the groomsmen. Floral was tricky for our wedding due to Disney’s strict requirements and the fact that we lived in another state. After looking into many options we decided to work with Erin of Love is Blooming and I’m so glad we did! The floral arrangements were so easy to travel with. One reason that silk floral worked better for us was that we had a separate photo session inside the Disney parks two days after our wedding. Most brides that do this have to purchase two bouquets or request to have their real flowers freshened up for a hefty fee. My bouquet didn’t need that! I received many compliments and one of our guests started giving me tips on preserving my flowers when I had to tell her they were silk. The bridesmaid’s bouquets also made great gifts that the bridesmaids were able to keep and I will always be able to keep my own wedding bouquet forever! I highly recommend working with Love is Blooming.”
— Alysya | Texas

I love that one of the busiest (and happiest) places on Earth is so quiet and serene in this photo. What a fun experience to have the whole place to yourself with just your new spouse and the carousel horses to keep you company.

A huge thank you to Alysya for sending me twice the fun with these photos. If you are planning a destination wedding that needs some magic in your florals, custom silk wedding flowers are a great option. They are budget friendly, you know exactly what you are getting ahead of time and they can bring your magical vision to life. Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Cinderella Blue in Destination Silk Wedding Flowers Part 1- Reveal

, , ,

Today, I get to share a Disney Princess with you!! Ok, maybe not a real princess from a royal line, but a bride who got to live the princess dream for her wedding day! Bride Alysya contacted me about custom silk wedding flowers for her destination Cinderella blue themed wedding. We didn’t go super traditional, but you’ll see from the photos that her bridal bouquet was both unique and timeless. Let’s take a look at the lovely photos from Jesse Giles Photography of Alysya’s big Disney wedding day!

Here’s our lovely bride Alysya! Her bridal bouquet was a round handtied style bouquet with a mix of ivory Cabbage Roses, white Garden Roses, white Seeds, blue Thistle and Heather and Seeded Eucalyptus. We also brought the blue in with satin ribbon on the handle of the bouquet.

The bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets with a similar mix of flowers, but we didn’t include the Thistle that was just for Alysya’s bouquet. The touches of blue complemented their dresses perfectly!

Bright Beach Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Charlee reached out to me for help when the original silk bridal bouquet she ordered from a different florist didn’t live up to her expectations. While there were some elements of her purchase that she liked, it pretty much needed to be remade. I started sending her options of what I could add to it and how I could reshape it to bring her vision to life. What we ended up designing together is a stunner of a bouquet for her tropical wedding last year. Let’s take a look at the photos by Silverfox Studios of New York.

Charlee’s bouquet needed to stand out on such a big and beautiful back drop. Her modified cascade bridal bouquet was a mix of blue Hydrangea, orange Hibiscus and Orchids, flame Succulents, pink Peonies, green Hydrangea, Gloriosa lilies, yellow Roses, Cymbidium orchids, red and green Anthurium and a whole bunch of tropical foliage. She loved the idea of trailing ribbon, so we finished off the bouquet with a ribbon wrap and tails.

“Thanks for my amazing wedding bouquet; so pretty and bright, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making the time to re-do my original bouquet that I had made. You made my day very happy once I received what I imagined it to look like : ) The guests all loved my bouquet and commented that it was very beautiful, unique and stunning.”
— Charlee | New York

Charlee had ordered bridesmaid bouquets prior to working with me and I loved how she had chosen to go simple with white flowers and greenery so that their varying shades of dress colors would stand out.

She also sent me this photo of how she displays her bouquet at home. I love the branch full of shells and beach glass to go with it!

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!

Blush and White Tropical Destination Wedding Bridal Bouquet - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Heather reached out to me with a few inspiration photos and a truly blushing bride color palette for her destination wedding. Her vibe was beachy, romantic, soft and a touch of glamour. She requested that the bouquet was small to make travel easier, but she didn’t want to loose any drama. I sent a few flower ideas and got to work on a custom bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers.

I went with an asymmetrical design for the shape with a more subtle draping to the bouquet. I incorporated white and nude pink Garden Roses, white Baby’s Breath, white Phalaenopsis Orchids and blush pink Anthurium.

Alaskan Destination Wedding-Reveal and Review

, , ,

Bohemian, or boho, style bouquets have been all the rage the last year or two. This bridal bouquet is a great example of this style. Take a look at these amazing photos by Dallin and Cienna of bride Roxanna and her crew. Roxanna is from my area but drove out to Alaska for her destination wedding. How cool is that?!

Her modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet was a muted mix of beige, peach, and ivory Roses, Peonies, and Delphinium. We didn’t want anything too traditional look so we added lots of natural textures provided by the Artichoke, Amaranthus, Wheat, Fern and Sword Eucalyptus. To complete the look, I tied lots of ribbon tails in different shades of champagne and ivory. Roxanna was awesome at communicating her style with me and I think we did a great job working together to create a bouquet that matched her dress and her surroundings.

“Working with Erin was a heaven sent for me! By that I mean I had a very specific idea in my vision for my bouquet. Although it was very hard for me to explain. We went through quite a few trials until we absolutely nailed it! She was so unbelievably patient, and kind throughout our process. I am so grateful to have worked with her, and I highly recommend!”
— Roxanna | Minnesota

The bridesmaids carried simple bouquets of white Peonies and Olive greenery. I love the way they accentuated the variety of their dress colors.

Backpacking with a Silk Bridal Bouquet - Part 2 Reveal

, , ,

Ashlynn was so easy to work with and her easygoing personality is evident in their wedding photos with her silk bridal bouquet. She shared with me that it rained the day of the wedding, but they “worked with it.” And I have to say the muddy hemline of her dress sure makes for some dramatic and artsy wedding photos. Take a look at these beautiful images from her photographers Jess and Austin Drawhorn who specialize in Colorado elopements. If you are considering an adventure like that, check them out!

“Erin did a fantastic job designing my bridal bouquet. I could not have been happier with the result! Erin pays attention to detail and was a good communicator throughout the entire process. This bouquet traveled with me all the way to Colorado, on a 5.5 mile hike, and all the way back to Minnesota and it still looks perfect! Thank you Erin at Love Is Blooming for making my vision come to life!”
— Ashlynn | Minnesota

Backpacking with a Silk Bridal Bouquet- Part 1

, , ,

You may remember this wedding I did a few months ago for a bride and her crew that were hiking into the Northwoods of Minnesota for their wedding. I thought that was such an interesting concept and was surprised again to book a job for a silk bridal bouquet and boutonniere that was also going to be backpacking to their ceremony site for an elopement. This time it was in Rocky Mountain National Park. Ashlynn wanted her bouquet to be lush and filled with color and texture for a wildflower look. We talked through her ideas, looked at inspiration photos and came up with a pretty long list of things to include. You can see from my photos that every square inch of this bouquet had something interesting in it!

Fern, Thistle, Ranunculus, Forget-Me-Nots, Roses, Daisies, Mini Daisies, Larkspur, Queen Anne’s Lace, Red berries, Columnea, Lavender Seeds, mixed Greens and the kitchen sink! Can’t you just imagine this strapped to a backpack on its way to a mountain top ceremony?

The groom’s boutonniere was a toast colored Rose bud with mini Daisies, a touch of Fern and greens and finished off with twine for a rustic look. Perfect for the great outdoors! Ashlynn wanted her bouquet wrapped in lace which I think matched really well to all the texture in her bouquet.

Do you have a destination wedding planned that’s not tropical and want to talk about ideas for your flowers? Silk wedding flowers are a great option because you don’t have to worry about heat or cold or anything affecting your flowers! These hardy specimens can make it up a mountain and back again.

Destination Wedding- Tropical Silk Bouquet in Soft Tones

, , ,

I’ve done a few tropical weddings with silk flowers that have been more out of the box (remember Candace?) and I gotta say, I love doing it! This bridal bouquet needed to be soft, romantic, textural, but appropriate for a destination beach wedding. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Her bouquet was a mix of peonies in ivory, Scabiosa pods, green Amaranthus, fern, ivory Spray Roses, white mini Fern, grasses, blush seeds, Orchid buds, twigs and finished off with Chardonnay satin ribbon. This modified cascade style bouquet is a more modern take on a tropical bouquet but with all the interest that comes along with traditionally tropical flowers. Sure, we don’t have the fuchsia orchids or big leafy greens, but this bouquet certainly belongs on the beach!

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!

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!

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.

Funky Beach Wedding Bridal Bouquet - Destination Wedding

, , , ,

Beach wedding flowers in silk bridal bouquets typically have a very tropical and bright vibe to them. But what if you want an element of funk? Maybe with some unexpected textures? And what if your color palette is more moody than bright? I introduce you to Candace’s flowers!

Candace’s stunning bridal bouquet was a mix of dark burgundy spider Mums, beige Peonies, dusty pink Succulents, and a huge mix of greenery. This bouquet was especially fun because Candace really let me run with her ideas and I gave her some pretty out-of-the-box suggestions. She was totally game and said yes to them all. She wasn’t really sure what she wanted for ribbon, so once again I stepped out on a limb and added….them all! Well not really ALL the ribbon I had, but a lot of colors in her palette in both satin, sheer and muslin textures. I left them pretty long so that when Candace received the bouquet she could trim them down to whatever worked best for her dress and her height.

Candace also went the non-traditional route for the moms. She decided a mini bouquet was a great option for them to carry on her big day. Their silk clutch style bouquets were made up of a single beige Peony and Mum with greenery and wrapped with Rosewater colored satin ribbon, just one of the colors in Candace’s bouquet.

“Erin worked with me so well, understanding what I envisioned even though I couldn’t describe it. Throughout COVID she kept in touch with me and made sure we were on the same page for how the arrangements were looking. Every step of the process was clearly and thoroughly described. Just picked up my arrangements and WOW ❤❤❤❤❤”

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreations Reveal

, , , , ,

I don’t always get permission to share the original photos clients send me when recreating a bridal bouquet. But that doesn’t mean I can’t share the finished product! Here are three gorgeous and unique bridal bouquet recreations in silk wedding flowers that are totally worth sharing!

This first bouquet was a striking combination of Anemone, white Ranunculus, blush Roses, peach Hydrangea, Seeded Eucalyptus, white Heather, light green Eucalyptus seeds, Lamb’s Ear, chocolate Cosmos, and purple Eucalyptus in a cascade style bouquet. I just love the high contrast of the white and dark purples!

Here’s one more for your viewing pleasure :)

This last bouquet was so gorgeous and lush. It had a mix of Cabbage Roses in Peach and Cream, white Peonies, cream Ranunculus, white Hydrangea, and brighter pink Roses. Tucked throughout the bouquet were pretty clusters of larger scale pearls. It was such a sweet bouquet to recreate!

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!
