White and Peach Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

I haven’t featured a bouquet recreation in a while, so if you are looking for a great gift idea, this post is for you! Nicholas reached out to me to recreate his wife’s lovely bridal bouquet. The original bouquet was a mix of peach and nude Garden and Spray Roses with Silver Dollar Eucalyptus in a round handtied bouquet. Let’s take a look at the recreation and the original side-by-side!

I was looking for a 4th anniversary gift for my wife and came across Love Is Blooming - Erin is fantastic to work with. She recreated my wife’s wedding day bouquet from pictures and we have it in a vase in our home as a reminder of our that day. It is amazing what Erin is able to do - they look exactly the same as the real flowers 4 years ago. My wife loves it and it will remain a part of our home for years. Thanks Erin!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation for Daughter's Anniversary

Happy New Year! Maybe a bouquet recreation is a new idea to you, so here’s a great example to introduce this unique gift idea. A few times now, I’ve had moms come to me wanting to recreate their daughter’s bridal bouquet for a gift. But that’s even more fun when she comes back for her other daughter’s bridal bouquet! Customer Rosanne, reached out to me a few years after ordering from me to place a second order and of course I was happy to help! Her daughter’s bouquet was a classic mix of white Roses, Spray Roses, and Calla Lilies with a mix of Fern, Smilax and Eucalyptus in a dramatic cascading bouquet. Rosanne worked closely with me to get just the right size of flowers, shape of the draping and placement of the feature flowers to get it just right! Let’s compare with these photos from the photographer at Jackson Zimmerman Photography.


When the package arrived last week, I opened the top to peek in, but was too afraid to even take it out and mess it up before gifting it!



I finally got to witness it’s beauty… and my daughter’s JOY in opening it today!! SHE ABSOLUTELTY LOVES IT!!!! It’s perfect :)!

The photos you sent didn’t really do it justice… Stunning! It looks so real in every sense.

I purchased a plain cylinder vase in the dimensions you suggested, and my daughter already has it displayed on her fireplace mantle.. (out of reach of toddler for now!) At some point, she may move it to entryway table…

Also, I just found out that the traditional anniversary gift for 4th anniversary is fruit and/or flowers… so this was spot on besides!!

Thanks again for your patience and extra care to make it just right for her.

A lifetime treasure! Keep up the beautiful work!
— Rosanne | New York

Getting the right shape of the bouquet is important and Rosanne gave me lots of great feedback based on the photos and from her memory of the wedding day.

Burgundy and Taupe Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

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. Today, I get to share with you a great example of incorporating taupe into wedding flowers. Tiara had an awesome vision for her custom silk wedding flowers that included texture, neutrals and burgundy. I showed her a variety of options, and she pretty much said “Yes!” to all of them! Let’s take a look at the magazine-worthy images Tiara sent me from the photographer who captured her day so beautifully: Narvold Photography.

Tiara’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of taupe and coffee colored Roses, burgundy Roses, Peonies and Calla Lilies, Cynara pods, Thistle, burgundy Amaranthus, sage Fern, mauve Queen Anne’s Lace seeds, Seeded Eucalyptus and beige Heather. It was a STUNNER!

Erin is absolutely fantastic to work with and she created the most beautiful bouquets for my wedding. After sending her a few photos and ideas she was able to visualize and create exactly what I was looking for and more! I highly recommend!
— Tiara | Minnesota

The bridesmaids were wearing beautiful burgundy dresses and carried handtied versions of Tiara’s bouquet. I even made mini bouquets for the flower girls.

Thanks again to Tiara for sharing such a special day with me so I could share it with you! If you are looking to incorporate taupe, beige, champagne or another neutral and need help with ideas, fill out the Free Bride’s Checklist today!

Winter Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

Having a December birthday, I have a little bit of a chip on my shoulder about all things winter. But winter silk wedding flowers are starting to become some of my favorite! It’s almost easier to add a little bit of magic and shine like this wedding, or go a bit more wild and whimsical like this wedding, or maybe soft and romantic speaks to you like this wedding. Whatever you are warming up to, take a look at this great example of way to combine traditional “winter” elements to a bridal bouquet that is lush, full, textural and just so pretty!

silk-bridal-bouquet-recreation-wedding-flowers-anniversary-gift

Jennifer contacted me about recreating her custom bouquet, originally designed and created by Blue Ivy Flowers of Rossville, Georgia. And it was a stunner! A combination of blush Cabbage and Garden Roses, white Spray Roses, blue Thistle, white Hypericum Berries, Cedar, Cypress, Evergreen, Seeded Eucalyptus and Brunia Berries in a loose handtied style bouquet. It was important that we included all the elements as closely as possible (I couldn’t get as delicate with the Thistle as the original) but also duplicate the feel and style of the bouquet. With something as full and varied as Jennifer’s bouquet, that can be a challenge!

These two (above/below) images are from their very talented photographer out of Chattanooga, Tennessee: Jennifer Anderson Photography. Check them out if you are in that area and want amazing wedding photos:)

White Silk Wedding Flowers with Greenery- Part 2 Larger Scale Blooms

Earlier this week, I showed you some white silk wedding flowers with greenery that had a delicate, almost lacy look. Today is about impact and contrast! These weddings flowers and bridal bouquet used larger scale blooms to fill out the bouquets. The added greenery really stood out against all the white for an eye-catching look!

The bridal bouquet was a round ball style bouquet with white Roses and Tulips and a mix of Columnea Fern, Ficus and Rose Greens.

The bridesmaid bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet. All bouquets were wrapped with white satin ribbon.

The toss bouquet was a clutch size version of the bridal bouquet with just a few roses and tulips with a touch of greenery.

The boutonnieres were very clean and classy white tulips and spray roses with the same greenery and ribbon.

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!

Yellow and White Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Today’s reveal is a bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers from Jolyn. She contacted me about recreating her bouquet. They had tried to preserve it, but after “8 years and 3 moves” it didn’t hold up as well as they’d hoped. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the recreation and Jolyn’s original bouquet.

custom-silk-bridal-bouquet-recreation-yellow-wedding-flowers

Made of white Garden and Spray Roses, white Stephanotis, yellow Garden Roses and soft yellow Lilies, Jolyn’s bouquet was a classic round handtied style bouquet.

This is perfect! I’m so very happy to have this beautiful and lasting reproduction of my wedding bouquet! Thank you so very much - you did an excellent job and so quickly!!
— Jolyn | Colorado

Burgundy, Blush, and Dusty Blue Silk Wedding Flowers

It’s still March, and I’m still getting a ton of requests for Burgundy themed custom wedding flowers. Here’s another great example of incorporating Burgundy into silk wedding flowers. This color combo of dusty blue, blush pink, sage green and burgundy is a great example of using burgundy without making the arrangements all dark and moody. These feel light and bright, and that pop of jewel tone adds a nice surprise to these bouquets.

The bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with blush pink Roses, burgundy Dahlia, ivory Spray Roses, dusty blue Thistle, blush pink Seeds and two kinds of Eucalyptus.

The Maid of Honor bouquet was pared down to have a single burgundy Dahlia, blush Roses, dusty blue Thistle and Eucalyptus. The bridesmaid bouquets (see below) were all the same, but without the burgundy Dahlia. These designs kept everything feeling sames-ies but let the bridal bouquet stand out a little from the rest.

Here’s the cute little toss bouquet that was a mini version of the bridal bouquet.

The boutonnieres and corsages used the same flowers as the bouquets.

If you are worried about a little bit of burgundy making your bouquets too dark, contact me today to talk about design ideas!

Silk Flowers For Your Wedding Cake

Over the years, I’ve had potential clients looking for budget friendly options to complement their fresh floral decor. I’ve done a variety of weddings where I only did the boutonnieres and corsages, small arrangements to attach to lanterns for centerpieces, a custom floral backdrop, or a silk floral headpiece with pheasant feathers. Not to be left out, cake flowers recently joined that list of fun singleton projects for me.

Brianna sent me some inspiration photos for cake flowers in custom silk wedding flowers and I made some suggestions for matching her sunflower theme. Here’s what I came up with!

Her topper was a mix of a larger sunflower, red Spray Roses, burgundy Baby’s Breath and mixed greenery. I also made two matching smaller clusters to be placed on the layers of her cake. I switched to mini sunflowers for scale and to off set the shape for an asymmetrical look.

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.

Fall Jewel Tone Silk Wedding Flowers

I loved this color palette for April’s jewel toned silk wedding flowers. Her original plan was to include burgundy, plum, dusty blue and burnt orange in her arrangements and bridal bouquet. But when we got everything together, the orange stood out way too much for her and her fiance’s liking. So with a bit of editing and rearranging, we landed on these amazing, textural, bouquets full of depth and color. Take a look!

Bridal Bouquet

Antique White Satin Ribbon

April’s bridal bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of plum Ranunculus, burgundy Peonies, dusty blue Thistle, ivory Spray Roses, burgundy Lamb’s Ear and Eucalyptus and seeded Eucalyptus.

Bridesmaid Bouquet

Toss Bouquet

The bridesmaids bouquets were a bit smaller with most of the same elements, but we left out the Spray roses and tied them off with matching burgundy ribbon. April was able to direct me to swatches of the bridesmaid dress color, so I was able to match almost exactly the Peonies and the ribbon to their dress color. The toss bouquet was a variation of the bridal with the addition of some burgundy Baby’s Breath and tied off with the same ribbon as the bridal bouquet.

We matched the ribbon on the boutonnieres to the corresponding bouquets. The wrist corsages incorporated a little bit of each color and some greenery and the mothers’ got some bling to set them apart.

If you are looking for jewel toned flowers for your fall or winter wedding, silk flowers are a great choice!

I tried to preserve my original wedding bouquet, and it didn’t work out like I had hoped. So a friend of mine told me about Love is Blooming, and I was not disappointed! The recreation is beautiful! I cried tears of joy to see my bouquet look as beautiful as the day of my wedding. Erin is fantastic! She was very responsive, and her turn around was very quick. I will recommend her to anyone!!

Burgundy Silk Wedding Flowers with a Twist

When Candace booked her wedding with me in February, she had a pretty good idea of what she wanted for her custom silk wedding flowers and a bridal bouquet. The inspiration photos had creamy Roses, peach and burgundy accents and lots of greenery and texture. They were moody and romantic and a little bit boho—perfect for an October wedding! Once I started working on her arrangements, she felt like it was missing a little pop of color, so we incorporated a touch of golden orange that gave the bouquets that perfect little twist of brightness. Take a look at Candace’s awesome custom silk wedding bouquets for fall.

The bridal bouquet incorporated cream Roses, peach Roses, apricot Garden Roses, ivory Spray Roses, burgundy Dahlia, orange gold Mums, Seeded Eucalyptus, Magnolia leaves, dusty greenery, feathery Fern, and seed pods in mauve. This modified cascade style silk bridal bouquet is a show stopper!

The bridesmaid bouquets weren’t the exact same shape but incorporated almost all the same elements as the bridal bouquet while giving off the same wild and rustic vibe.

This nontraditional shape bridesmaid bouquet is definitely becoming the norm as more bride’s are choosing more organic shapes and color palettes for both themselves and their bridal party.

Blush, Navy and Ivory Custom Silk Wedding Flowers

When Emily gave me the go ahead to give her a truly custom look for her bridal bouquet in silk wedding flowers, I WAS SO EXCITED! She sent me a few inspiration photos, her color palette and feedback on my ideas and I’m proud to present this very pretty modified cascade bridal bouquet in blush and ivory with tons of greenery.

I seriously packed this baby with tons of flowers, textures and style. It is composed of ivory and blush pink Roses, blush centered Garden Roses, ivory Spray Roses, ivory Ranunculus, Baby’s Breath, Scabiosa Seed Pods, Peony buds, seeded Eucalyptus, Dusty Miller, and Smilax. This asymmetrical design is one of a kind and fantastic, if I do say so myself!

Emily knew exactly what she wanted for her Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids bouquets. We started with a base of all white baby’s breath and for the Maid of Honor I added in some of the blush Roses and the blush centered Garden Roses. A little bit of seeded Eucalyptus and these simple designs were so pretty!

Emily also needed some clusters of flowers for her simple and elegant cake. I didn’t want to do anything too large or fussy, so I designed these 4 small clusters to be placed on the layers for a look that would match her bouquets.

Maybe you know exactly what you’d like for the bridesmaids but need something extra special for yourself. Contact me today for a free quote and to start the design process!

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!

Destination Wedding Flower Bridal Bouquet Recreation

Matt contacted me for help with a custom bridal bouquet recreation for his May anniversary. He and his wife were married on the beach at Captiva Island, Florida. From the awesome photos he sent me, it was a beautiful ceremony. If you are looking for a talented photographer, check out Beneath The Oaks Photography for your big day.

Now let’s take a look this awesome bouquet of wedding flowers. This round, hand tied bouquet featured ivory Roses and Hydrangea, custom dyed Calla Lilies in navy and teal and Spray Roses in a matching teal. When you are dealing with recreating a bouquet like this, the goal is to match the colors as closely as possible. I think I did pretty good with this custom dye job!

I reached out to Erin to see if she could recreate my wife’s wedding bouquet for our 2nd anniversary. After a few emails and pictures, she had everything she needed. A few weeks later she sent me images that were a dead on ringer for my wife’s wedding bouquet. Fast forward to our anniversary and my wife absolutely loved the gift and still can’t believe how close it looks to the original. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a bouquet!
— Matt | Ohio

The above photo is one I sent to Matt when I had the bouquet finished up. He loved it but mentioned that another photo of the original bouquet, from a different angle, showed more greenery than I could see. This right here folks, is why silk flowers are awesome. Whether it’s a recreation or your actual wedding flowers, getting to see them ahead of time means you can make those little tweaks that make the difference. After receiving Matt’s feedback, I was able to add some more greens in to the back of the bouquet around the bottom. The below photo shows the edits of the final design. When it comes to anniversary gifts, it’s important to me to get it right, those details really do matter!

Matt was kind enough to send this photo to me to demonstrate that despite attempting to dry out his wife’s gorgeous original bouquet, it didn’t look as pretty as they’d hoped. And that’s where I got to help out.

Roses are Red...

Roses that are red might make you think of Valentine’s Day, but they don’t have to! This bridal bouquet recreation in silk wedding flowers is a great example of how to keep it looking like a Hallmark holiday bouquet.

Corey sent me photos of his wife’s gorgeous bouquet he wanted to order to celebrate their fall anniversary. This bouquet included red garden and spray Roses, burgundy Dahlias, burgundy Ranunculus, ivory Ranunculus, white Waxflower, deep purple Scabiosa, Fern and Smilax.

Perhaps if the original bouquet had only included true red and white flowers, this bouquet would lack some depth and interest and make us think either Christmas or Valentine’s Day. Instead, the original florist incorporated some beautiful jewel tones, a variety of shades of red and burgundy and some lovely greenery to make this gorgeous bouquet.

I got a replica of my wife’s bouquet for our anniversary. Erin was amazing creating the bouquet and nailing the price and quick turn around time I had. It looks identical! Would definitely use her again and recommend to anyone!

Silk Bridal Bouquet Recreation in Ivory and Blue

Luke contacted me looking for the perfect anniversary gift for his wife. After seeing the photos, I got to work recreating the original bridal bouquet of blue and ivory Hydrangea, Ivory Roses and Spray Roses, ivory berries and greens into her own silk bridal bouquet recreation.

Sometimes it takes a few different photos of the bouquet to get it just right. In this case, the original photo Brandon sent didn’t quite capture the brightness of the blue Hydrangea. A different angle did, so I was able to find a brighter blue Hydrangea and switch it out. I wanted to be sure and get it just right!

Budget Friendly Boutonnieres and Corsages For Your Wedding

Renae contacted me looking to save herself time, money and a headache in preparing for her daughter’s upcoming wedding. Boutonnieres and corsages can be tricky and slow going if you aren’t sure what you are doing. Renae found me as way to free up her time and hired me to create some boutonnieres and corsages using silk wedding flowers that would match her daughter’s DIY wedding.

The groom and groomsman boutonnieres all used ivory Ranunculus and twigs and I threw a little bit of a teal apple blossom in there to match the flowers her daughter had made for the bridanl and bridesmaid bouquets.

The ushers had simple baby’s breath and greenery boutonnieres with matching ribbon.

The dads and grandfather had simpler versions of the bridal party and the ring bearers had adorable mini Ranunculus with greens.

The mother and grandmother wrists corsages used a design that is classy and pretty. Spray roses, teal apple blossoms, and a bit of greenery with added rhinestones for the mothers all on pearl beaded bracelets make for a great keepsake for those special ladies in your life.
