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!

Bridal Bouquet and Daughter's Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Randy reached out to me about custom bridal bouquet recreation for his wife and a custom bridesmaid bouquet recreation for her daughter as Christmas presents! The photos he sent me showed deep Red Roses and Peonies and burgundy Calla Lilies in a classic round style bouquet for the bridal bouquet. The bridesmaid bouquet was a simple round handtied bouquet of white Garden Roses. Let’s take a look at how these custom Christmas gifts turned out!

I loved that the bouquet was wrapped with a white satin ribbon and then a red satin ribbon over the top! It gave the bouquet a festive look without being a traditional red and green Christmas accent.

“Oh my goodness. Erin, was spot on with the arrangement of my wife’s bouquet from our wedding. She did amazing work and I would highly recommend her for any bouquet arrangement for anyone around!! Thank you again Erin!!”

Moody Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Claire reached out to me about creating moody silk wedding flowers for her wedding day. They wanted to incorporate a variety of jewel tones for an overall darker look but with touches of medium pink. She sent me some inspiration photos with comments about she liked and what she was going for. She also mentioned to me that she wanted a smaller bridal bouquet which was super helpful because most brides this day want large bouquets. Let’s take a look at what we came up with! Claire sent me photos from the very talented Mackenzie and Cole with Seelhammer Media.

Our happy couple! Claire’s bouquet was a smaller, loose handtied style bouquet with a mix of burgundy Peonies, cream Peonies, a navy Magnolia, plum and berry Tea Roses, plum Cosmos, navy Ranunculus, pink Ranunculus and greenery.

“The flowers were beautiful! My husband and I loved how moody they were - they paired so well with our theme! We love that we were able to keep them and reuse them in our home. It’s a forever reminder of our favorite day 🤍”
— Claire | Wisconsin

Is moody your vibe? Or maybe the jewel tones have caught your eye! There is always a way to customize your custom silk wedding flowers and the best part is that you get to see them in advance. No showing up to your wedding to discover it’s not what you envisioned. Claire and I worked together to pick out just the right flowers for each arrangement and even figure out the ratio of colors so that it had the right amount of everything. If you like to be in the know and also want to check things off your wedding to-do list, silk wedding flowers might be just what you are looking for. Contact me today for more information!

Burgundy, White and Green Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s wedding feels like the perfect one to share right before Christmas! The color scheme is classic and the designs work for both a fall wedding, which is when local bride Erika walked down the aisle, or a winter wedding! Let’s take a look at these lovely photos from Agape Moments Photography to see Erika’s burgundy, white and green custom silk wedding flowers.

Here’s our awesome bridal party! The girls were in lovely burgundy dresses that popped against their beautiful natural setting with all that green and also against the white of the flowers. I really love how some of the delicate flowers in Erika’s bouquet accented the delicate lace on the bodice of her amazing dress.

Here’s a closer look at Erika’s modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet. It was composed of white Cabbage Roses, Ranunculus and Stephanotis, burgundy Dahlia and Cabbage Roses, white Seeds and mix of Seeded and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in an asymmetrical cascade. We finished it off with Antique White satin ribbon for a very bridal, but modern look.

Since the bridesmaids were in burgundy, we decided to feature all the white flowers in their bouquets and use the round handtied shape. It made for a cohesive but different look.

Erika also ordered some bulk greenery and seeds for the centerpieces she was making herself. I supplied her with bundles for each table and she was able to incorporate the greenery and seeds around her floating candles on chargers. It was a nice touch that tied everything together without needing full on floral centerpieces.

Boutonnieres and corsages used the same flowers from the bouquets to match the look over all.

“Erin is fantastic to work with! Her intake is thorough, communication is prompt and her work is absolutely gorgeous! I received many compliments on the arrangements, including how realistic they are! I will continue to refer Erin to anyone who asks!”
— Erika | Minnesota

Berry, Purple, Peach and Pink Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I am SO excited to share a wedding today that accomplished the feat of being bright and moody! Marissa’s custom silk wedding flowers had pops of bright tones in berry purple, peach and pink, but at the same time had depth and texture and greenery that kept it toned down. When you put the flowers against a beautiful natural backdrop like they had, it was perfect! Let’s take a look at these amazing photos by Mountain Meandering Photography.

Marissa’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of berry Dahlia, peach Cabbage Roses, magenta Peony, peach and plum Ranunculus, berry Tea Roses, Willow greens, Olive greens, pink Waxflower, bright pink Carnation, watermelon and burgundy roses. When it was put together, Marissa made a few tweaks of flower placement and then gave her stamp of approval!

The bridesmaids wore the most gorgeous shade of berry pink, not too bright and not too purple. They carried clutch style bouquets with a mix of magenta Peonies, berry Tea Roses and peach Ranunculus and greenery

The guys wore flowers that were featured in the bouquets with the groom wearing a berry Tea Rose with touches of magenta and peach and the groomsmen wore peach Ranunculus with a tiny bit of Waxflower. The littlest guy, the ringbearer had a Tea Rose bud and Waxflower.

“Erin did such an amazing job making my wedding flowers. I know it may seem a little nerve-racking ordering wedding flowers online, but Erin was so helpful during the whole process. I couldn’t be happier with how my bouquet turned out. And the best part is, it will stay beautiful forever! I highly recommend having silk flowers for your wedding, especially from Love is Blooming! Thanks again so much.”
— Marissa | Washington

Some of my favorite detail shots from her wedding day! Don’t you love the lacey look to her dress? And all the bling from her shoes and jewelry? Stunning!

A huge thank you to Marissa for sharing her wedding day photos with me so I can share them with you! Are you looking for a similar combination of bright and moody? Then let’s talk flowers!

Today’s bouquet recreation is a dramatic round handtied bouquet with draping Amaranthus! What a beauty!

Let’s take a look at the recreation alongside some photos by Denis Gostev Photography.

Laura sent me the write up from her florist that listed red Mums, dark red Roses, burgundy Snapdragon, burgundy Amaranthus, champagne Sahara Roses, seeded Eucalyptus and gold painted Hypericum Berries. It was such a beautiful bouquet, full of drama and texture and richness!

“Such an amazing service! Erin did an amazing job at flawlessly replicating my wedding bouquet with silk flowers. She was very easy to work with as well. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to re-experience the joy of their wedding bouquet!”

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers with Navy-Reveal

, ,

Navy has been a hot color for the last few years, and it’s been a fun addition to custom silk wedding flowers in all seasons! Today’s wedding features navy with some more traditional fall colors-burgundy and gold. Sheldynn’s fall silk wedding flowers were a vibrant mix of colors, a variety of textures and shapes, but overall a really classic look. Let’s take a look at the photos from their talented photographers The Grotheers.

Here’s our happy couple! Sheldynn’s modified cascade bridal bouquet was a mix of Sunflowers, burgundy Peonies, Dahlia and Roses, navy Delphinium and Berries, white Heather and Baby’s Breath, burgundy Amaranthus and Lamb’s Ear and Ruscus for a pop of green. The groom’s boutonniere was a single burgundy Rose bud with Baby’s Breath, berries and Lamb’s Ear.

The bridesmaids were wearing these gorgeous halter dresses that were the perfect complement to the Peonies. Not to mention, they made all the other colors really stand out! Their bouquets were round handtied style with the same mix of flowers and greenery, including that touch of Amaranthus for a unique addition to their bouquets.

Such a classy looking group!

Red, Peach, Pink and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal

, , ,

I have been WAITING for this day to share Brandi and Troy’s STUNNING red, peach, pink and white silk wedding flowers. There is a touch of everything in these wedding florals including tropical, romantic, lush, and even a little art deco. AND WAIT TIL YOU SEE THEIR CAKE! Have I communicated my excitement enough yet? Thanks to Jennifer Juniper Photography for telling the story of Brandi and Troy’s wedding day so well!

Here’s our happy couple! They wanted everything to be packed with meaning for their big day, so I wanted to make sure the flowers were on par with everything else. Brandi’s modified cascade bouquet was a mix of peach cabbage roses, off white orchids, deep red ranunculus, peach ranunculus, red poppy, burgundy roses, red Freesia, burgundy Dahlia, bright pink roses, salmon ranunculus and rose pink Ranunculus.

What I enjoyed about looking through all these images is that everyone’s personality is so evident! They not only took into account their own personalities, but the personalities of their friends and family.

Their wedding took place at the Maitland Art Center and the setting was not only unique but just breathtakingly gorgeous. The pieces I created for the ceremony and reception sites needed to match the grandeur, and the style of our couple. Let’s take a look!

I created custom altar arrangements that incorporate a lot of the same flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in pieces that added some drama and color to the back drop.

Next up is the cake! Brandi sent me an inspiration photo and wanted two custom pieces to drape up and down the layers.

With such a beautiful venue, smaller centerpieces was the perfect choice! I made a few different types and Brandi had containers already picked out and ready to go. I made the centerpieces “bouquet” style, meaning they were ready to just drop in the vases!

Here’s a few more photos of our awesome couple!

Brandi shared this awesome video of Troy’s band, The Edge Effect, singing during the ceremony.

What a joy it is for me to get to be a part of the wedding of so many special couples. Are you looking for showstopping flower arrangements? Fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today for a quote and to talk about design ideas!

Cabernet, Taupe and Nude Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I am SO excited to share this moody and dreamy and lovely wedding today! Local bride, Abby, had a color palette that I’ve seen rise in popularity the last two years: Cabernet (burgundy), navy and gold. But we didn’t want to hit those head on in the custom bouquets. Instead, we featured that deep burgundy, taupe, a little touch of nude and greenery for bouquets that were lush and textured and really stood out against the cabernet bridesmaid dresses and the mens’ suits. Let’s take a look at Abby’s stunning silk wedding flowers. Photos by the very talented Katy Greseth of Capture Glory Photography. You can find her on FB @KatyGreseth or IG @katygreseth.

Here’s our happy couple! Abby worked closely with me to pick out just the right colors for her bouquet. The bridal bouquet was a loose handtied style with a mix of nude and burgundy Garden Roses, taupe Garden Roses, white seeds and lots of Seeded Eucalyptus. We tied it off with some sheer, gold ribbon to give it just the smallest bit of shimmer and tie in her color scheme even more.

The groom’s boutonniere featured a burgundy Garden Rose, taupe Rose bud, some seeds and Eucalyptus. We used the same sheer gold ribbon to finish off the look.

And because this bouquet is just too pretty, here’s a few more shots of it!

“Erin was GREAT to work with! Easy to communicate with, timely with replies, and the flowers turned out beyond perfect. They photograph so well! Would highly recommend working with her.”
— Abby | Minnesota

The groomsmen had similar boutonnieres, simplified without the rose bud. It made for a cohesive and classic look.

The bridesmaids carried clutch style bouquets that incorporated one of each of the 3 colors of flowers, seeds and Eucalyptus. Even though clutch bouquets are smaller, you can use greenery to give a fuller look.

One of the many great things about silk wedding flowers is that set up is a snap. You don’t have to pay for a professional to come get things laid out perfectly and they will look great for your entire day. I wanted to show some examples of Abby’s use of silk flowers for wedding decor. Here you can see some clusters of flowers and greens aisle arrangements. These can also be hung on ribbon loops if your chairs allow.

Abby had also order two custom pieces meant to sit on top of wine barrels for the ceremony. Unfortunately, due to rain that day, they had to move things inside. But as you can see, it was a beautiful place to exchange vows and the wine barrel arrangements worked perfectly on stands next to the fireplace.

These custom pieces had a little more height and width to them than a standard bouquet, but had a flat bottom to sit on whatever surface was needed!

At your reception, I always suggest having your bouquets do double duty at your head table or somewhere else in your reception venue. Just buy vases, space them out along the head table and as each of you and your bridal party enter, drop a bouquet in the vase! It’s as easy as that!

If you love the idea of being a part of the design process for your custom wedding flowers, don’t want to be surprised the day of by substitutions, wilting flowers or tricky set up, silk wedding flowers might be a good fit!

Wine, Black and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Last week, I showed you Kasey’s lovely winter wedding flowers, and today, I wanted to show you how I can easily take a similar color scheme but give a very different look. Sydney’s custom silk wedding flowers incorporated almost the same color scheme as Kasey’s but as you’ll see had a style all their own. Let’s take a look at these awesome photos by Stephanie Lane Photo.

Sydney’s bridal bouquet was a dramatic modified cascade style with a mix of wine Roses, Zinnia and Dahlia, white Cosmos, Ranunculus and Anemone, Silver Dollar and Seeded Eucalyptus and trailing burgundy Amaranthus to add the cascading effect. You can see what a great mix of textures and shades of wine and burgundy made it into her bouquet and we even got a touch of black with the centers of the Anemone.

The bridesmaids carried loose handtied style bouquets with Zinnia, Dahlia, Amaranthus and a rose in burgundy, Anemone and Ranunculus in white and the same greenery as the bridal bouquet. Let’s take one more minute to appreciate Sydey’s stunning dress and then we can appreciate why it needed a bridal bouquet to match that high fashion!

“Our flowers were BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what I asked for (truly even better than what I imagined)! Looked so real and arranged in such a nice way :) Erin was on top of getting the flowers to us, and was very detailed in her work with us- checking in to see if her plans for the flowers fit what we wanted. Really awesome experience! Would recommend!”
— Sydney | Oklahoma

Burgundy, White and Green Winter Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I know it’s just newly spring, but if you looked around outside here in Minnesota, it still looks like a winter wonderland. So in the spirit of sucking it up, here’s a lovely winter wedding to share with you! Bride Kasey was looking for burgundy, white and green winter silk wedding flowers. I love to do winter bouquets because you can do some unique mixes of greenery, and it’s always a fun challenge to keep them from looking too Christmas-y. Kasey sent me some lovely photos by her very talented photographer Sapphire Heart Photography. Let’s take a look!

Kasey’s bridal bouquet was a round handtied style with a mix of white Garden and Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia and Astilbe, white Seeds, Dusty Miller, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and Cedar. It was lush, a little wild, and perfect for her wedding day.

She wanted her bouquet to stand out from the rest, so for the bridesmaids we simplified the look to include only white Garden and Cabbage Roses with seeds and the same mix of greenery. They really popped against their dark green velvet dresses!

“Erin is amazing! Communicative, and punctual. She really takes the time to figure out exactly what you want. I recommend her to EVERYONE I know getting married. You will not be disappointed with her work! Just check the photos and you will see how incredible she is!”
— Kasey | Georgia

Burgundy and Navy Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Last week’s post featured a shade of blue that’s coming on the scene and picking up speed. Today, I want to share with you a wedding that features a tried and true combo: burgundy and navy blue! I’ve done quite a few weddings with this combination over the last few years as more and more couples chose navy instead of black for suits and tuxes. And today’s wedding is a great example of that. Let’s take a look at these very pretty images from Beauridge Photography.

Here’s my gorgeous bride Brittany who was so generous to share her pictures with me. Her loose, round handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses and Dahlia, navy Ranunculus, white Roses and Baby’s Breath, Lamb’s Ear and Seeded Eucalyptus.

“Erin was amazing to work with. The flowers turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! She always stayed in contact with me throughout the process and she was super affordable. Several of my bridesmaids have their flowers displayed in their homes. I love that I can keep my bridal bouquet for years to come. Thank you Erin for everything!”
— Brittany | New Jersey

The bridesmaid bouquets were a mix of the same greenery, Baby’s breath and featured on burgundy Dahlia and one navy Ranunculus. It allowed Brittany’s bouquet to stand out even more!

custom-silk-wedding-flowers-bridal-bouquet-burgundy-navy-bridesmaid-bouquets

The groom wore a boutonniere of a burgundy rose, navy Ranunculus and mixed greenery.

Brittany wanted some cake flowers and opted to order a loose assortment of flowers and greens for her baker to place on the cake. It is a great option if you are still decided on a topper or just want to have options!

Sisters' Bridal Bouquet Recreations - Reveal and Review

, , , ,

Bridal Bouquet recreations aren’t just for the gifting husband. I have had sisters, friends, and moms all order them for someone else. I have also had plenty of brides who wanted a bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers for themselves! Rounine, my lovely customer, fit into two of those categories. She wanted a bridal bouquet recreation for herself and one for her sister! Let's take a look at these very special pieces.

Rounine’s bouquet was a mix of white Roses, Eucalyptus and Seeds in a round handtied style. So classy and elegant!

“My sister and I got married really close and we both wanted to preserve our flowers but didn’t know how. I was on google and the website came up, I emailed Erin and hoped she could do it, I was not disappointed. She communicated and sent pictures throughout the process, and it was affordable. I also wanted to surprise my sister with her own bridal bouquet recreation. I received the bouquets on Saturday and my sister happened to be with me. She was so happy with hers, she couldn’t believe how close it was to her actual bouquet. She like me wishes that she knew about love is blooming before her wedding day. We would have just gone with “fake” flowers and be able to keep all of our floral arrangements. We are very happy with the end results and we hope to use them in the future for our anniversary celebrations and preserve them along with other mementos from our wedding. Thank you again for a job well done.”

It included Cymbidium Orchids, Anemone, Thistle, Stock flowers, burgundy Roses, Hypericum Berries, Kangaroo Paw, Queen Anne’s Lace, Eucalyptus, Grass and Bunny Tails.

“She did such an amazing job! I am honestly very impressed with the amount of work and details!”

Sunflower Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal

I’m writing this on the official first day of summer and today is July 4th, but I happen to be sharing an example of wedding flowers from a fall wedding, last year. Take note of the fact that these silk bridal and bridesmaid bouquets could easily fit into a summer wedding. The colors are bright and vibrant, with a lush look that could work for either season! These images are by the talented Dayna Quimby Photography.

The bridal bouquet was loose handtied mix of Sunflowers, burgundy Dahlia and Peonies, orange Dahlia and Ranunculus, yellow Heather and touch of navy Delphinium. I added a variety of greenery that worked so well with their outdoor ceremony site. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. We finished them all off with some burlap wrapped around the stems for a rustic touch.

I absolutely loved the detail on her wedding dress! And this back drop of a beautiful wooded area makes the dresses and flowers really pop!

Remember when I shared Tiara’s wedding flowers with you a few weeks ago? Her wedding flowers prominently featured taupe in her color scheme along with burgundy. Here’s another beautiful wedding that incorporated taupe along with rust, peach, burgundy and ivory in this gorgeous outdoor wedding.

The bridal bouquet was a combination of rust Roses, apricot Roses, peach Cabbage Roses, burgundy Dahlia, taupe Roses and Orchids, sage Fern, Sword and Seeded Eucalyptus. Her bouquet was a full, moody, but lively round handtied style bridal bouquet.

Her altar was picture perfect, so we had just a few custom altar arrangements to complement that beautiful, natural backdrop for their day.

One of the up and coming hot colors is a surprising choice - it’s taupe! It’s a wonderfully warm neutral that goes with a variety of accent colors and adds an unexpected richness to wedding decor.

Fall Silk Wedding Flowers in the Mountains - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I am thrilled to be able to share Ally’s beautiful custom silk wedding flowers from her fall wedding near Mt. Hood, Washington. Not only is she stunning, but the backdrop for her wedding is to die for! Take a look at these amazing photos from Terra Lange Photography.

Ally’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of yellow Peonies, burgundy Peonies, orange Dahlia, orange Cosmos, burgundy berries, sage Fern, twigs, Seeded Eucalyptus, Cynara pods and Magnolia greenery. It was textured and lush and full and perfect for an outdoor wedding.

One of the things I loved about working with Ally is that every idea she had was well thought out. Her bridesmaids were wearing these glamorous velvet-y dresses in 3 different jewel tones, and she wanted simple hoop bouquets to complement them. We choose just a few of the flowers and greens for the gold metal hoop bouquets for a modern but classy take on bridesmaid bouquets.

Not to be left out, her flower girls each carried smaller versions of the hoop bouquets

“I was looking for flowers that looked real, and would last forever as I wanted to use them in my home after the wedding. I’m so glad I found love is blooming. They came out absolutely beautifully! She helped me pick flowers and greenery based of my limited knowledge and color scheme. She was very easy to work with and responsive and was also very kind and patient with me. The shipping was timely and the finished product was exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely hire again.”
— Ally | Washington

Ally used a combination of custom silk wedding altar pieces for her unique round altar and fresh fall flowers and pumpkins. The draped fabric added such texture and softness!

Burgundy and Gold Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Since were past spring wedding orders, I thought I’d set the mood and get you thinking ahead to fall! Elsie’s burgundy and gold silk wedding flowers are such a classic combination. You can’t go wrong with Roses and Sunflowers and when the colors are just so perfectly matched for fall-it’s always going to look amazing! Elsie shared her photos with me, by photographer Photos by Red and I get to share them with you today!

Her round ball style bridal bouquet was a mix of burgundy Roses, gold Sunflowers, rhinestones in the Roses and a few clear bead sprays. We also added burlap wrap on the stems, a burlap ruffle around the bottom of the bouquet and a touch of lace and ribbon. Accents like that can set things apart in simple, but elegant ways. The bridesmaids carried round ball style bouquets with the same flowers and stem wrap, but without the rhinestone accents. Scroll to the bottom to see a few detail shots of Elsie’s bouquet.

“Erin is absolutely AMAZING!!! I was kinda in a bind because I didn’t want to spend so much on real flowers and I didn’t want to worry about having to make them myself. So one day I was on Google and just happened to come across Love is Blooming and I’m sooooo glad I did! Will definitely recommend to everyone I know who needs flowers!!! Not to mention her prices are so reasonable!!!”

We kept all the boutonnieres and corsages on theme with burgundy Roses and mini Sunflowers with twine wrapped on the stem. This is a good option to match the texture, but not the bulk, of burlap.
