Elopement Bridal Bouquet in Silk Wedding Flowers

Elopements are making a come back! Here’s another custom silk bridal bouquet for an elopement. Amanda wanted to incorporate some of her favorite flowers and colors in a beautiful modified cascade style bouquet for her elopement this fall that will take place in a Pecan Grove. How romantic right?? Her favorite flower is the Peony (and mine too!) and she also wanted to feature the color pink and a hint of yellow. I sent her a few emails with a variety of options and we settled on the elements you’ll see below: bright pink Peonies, blush pink Peonies, pink and white Magnolia, white Spray Roses, bright pink Wild Roses, Forsythia and yellow Queen Anne’s Lace. She wanted her bouquet to have some rustic charm, so I added a burlap ribbon to the handle and a delicate ivory lace wrap to finish it off.

For the groom’s boutonniere, I used one Magnolia blossom, one Forsythia flower and a small Wild Rose bud. A little bit of burlap and it was a perfect match!

Spring Planning for Fall Flowers

Ok, so Spring has officially sprung. But, maybe you just got engaged and are looking into planning your wedding for fall.  If so, then this post is for you!

Ellie worked with me to design her fall silk wedding flowers just a week and half before their laid back, up North nuptials. She wasn't picky, liked a vintage vibe, and really hoped to incorporate her favorite flower, the Magnolia. Oh, and her other big request was that she really wanted twigs. Like really, really wanted twigs.

Take a look at what we came up with for her bouquet:

Bridal Bouquet: orange Dahlias, purple Roses, cream Magnolia, green Hydrangea, burgundy mini Zinnias, fall leaves, and twigs.

Bridesmaid Bouquet: orange Dahlias, purple Roses, green Hydrangea, burgundy mini Zinnias, fall leaves, and twigs.

These boutonnieres were some of my favorites.  We incorporated rustic looking Succulents with the mini Zinnias, and a fall leaf instead of the traditional greenery.  I also added a Magnolia bud into the groom's boutonniere.

The mothers' corsages had a purple Rose, a bit of green Hydrangea, a burgundy mini Zinnia, and fall leaves.  All the arrangements were finished off with twine on the stems, a detail that fit into the rustic and organic feel they were going for.  Thanks again to Justin and Ellie for letting me be a part of your big day!
