Plum, Navy, Purple, Lilac and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

,

Lately, I’ve had a lot of neutrals and white with accent colors wedding themes to share with you. Today was a more saturated color palette of plum, navy, purple, lilac and white! Bride Kasey had a clear vision for her wedding flowers, so once we nailed down which silk flowers worked for each color, we got to designing everything together! Let’s take a look at the photos from Tim McNeese of GVision Productions of their time in the morning getting ready!

Here’s our stunning bride Kasey! Her round style bridal bouquet was a mix of white Garden Roses, lilac Garden Roses, navy Ranunculus, purple Cabbage Roses and plum Ranunculus. We added in some bling to give it a little extra sparkle! Her flower girls all had floral crowns including all her colors and one of her flower girls carried a mini bouquet that matched the bridal bouquet.

Here’s the rest of the lovely ladies, the bridesmaids! Their bouquets were smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, but without the bling. The moms wore wrist corsages in coordinating colors with a small spray of rhinestones, because moms love sparkle too!

Next up are the photos from the ceremony and reception, taken by Mena Darré at Mena Darré Photography.

Let’s look at our bridal party all ready for the big event! The groom wore a gray suit so the three main colors stood out nicely against his jackets. Since the groomsmen and dads were in navy we went with the plum Ranunculus and a white Rose for the Dad.

Look how effortlessly they transitioned from their pretty silk pj’s to formal gowns! Such beauties!

“My flowers were so incredibly beautiful, even better than I expected. They were perfect and I received so many compliments. From the time I reached out to Love is Blooming, communication was always easy, effective and professional. Erin offered flower suggestions based on desired colors and seasons, and provided sample pictures based on my vision and inspiration pics. I could not have been more pleased with her work. I would definitely recommend.”

Navy, Dusty Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Local bride, Peggy, reached out to me for her winter wedding. She didn’t want to go any traditional route, and her friends were a great help in identifying flowers she would like to include. She sent me her inspiration photos and her colors, and I started making suggestions. What we came up with was a lovely mix of navy, dusty blue and white silk wedding flowers. Let’s take a look at the photos Peggy shared with me from her big day! Her niece, Jada Gutowski, was the photographer. You can find her on Facebook @jadafayephotography11.

Peggy’s teardrop cascading bridal bouquet was a mix of navy Roses and Peonies, medium blue Spray Roses, dusty blue Anemone, white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white Cabbage and Garden Roses, white Heather and Seeds, Stephanotis, and Longleaf and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus. The varying shades of blue with all the textures, the white accents and the touches of greenery made her bouquet a real show stopper!

Peggy had one bridesmaid who carried a round handtied style bouquet with the same mix of flowers. Her flower girl carried a clutch style bouquet. And since Peggy knew she loved rainbows, we added a custom mix of ribbon tails in a variety of rainbow colors. What a sweet touch!

Cake flowers are easy to forget about, but they are also easy to add to your order. Peggy’s cake was a beautiful three tier with frosting polka-dots and blue watercolor-like streaks. I created a topper and a cluster for the bottom layer that brought in all her colors and variety of the flowers.

“I thoroughly loved working with Erin! I told her what I was interested in, she selected an assortment of flowers for me with her recommendations. After I made my selections, she was able to put them together for me to see. Then, after some final tweaking, I ended up getting something even better than I imagined!”

Lush Neutral Silk Wedding Flowers Part 2 - Ceremony and Centerpiece Flowers

,

Monday, I shared with you Alexis’ amazing custom silk bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages. Today, I get to bring the drama with her custom ceremony arrangements and centerpieces. All of these images are by the very talented Marissa Murdy Studio.

The ceremony site had a rustic industrial vibe with brick and beams and black metal. Their “arch” was a hexagon that needed some softening. I created two swags to attach to the corners for an asymmetrical look. They both incorporated Pampas, Roses, Cosmos, white Ruscus and Eucalyptus and Baby’s Breath.

One thing I’ll preach from the rooftops is to make your decor work for you! This is a great example of how to do that. Alexis had custom structures for their centerpieces, that also worked perfectly a the ends of the rows of chairs for the ceremony. You can see how that looks in the photo above and then see how seamlessly they become centerpieces! All you need is a few helping hands willing to carry your pieces from one area to the next. And because you’re working with silk flowers, you don’t need to worry about heavy arrangements, water sloshing around, or smooshing anything that may get dropped or bumped. Your flower girl could carry these and they would be totally fine!

You can also see, in the photo above, one of the altar arrangements doing double duty on the head table. It’s a great use of the space and your budget! Another way to stretch your budget is to purchase some simple vases for you bridesmaids to drop their vases in. Whether along the headtable, cake or food tables, or even in a cocktail area, you can use what you have to incorporate florals around your reception area.

What did you think of Alexis’ flowers? Do you love the subtle shades of white, champagne and taupe in custom silk wedding flowers?

Lush Neutral Silk Wedding Flowers Part 1 - Reveal

, ,

A few years ago, I designed custom silk wedding flowers for Minnesota bride, Peyton. When her sister’s, Alexis’, Bridal Checklist showed up in my inbox, I was flattered and excited. Now after working with both of them, I can say with confidence that both these lovely ladies have impeccable style with their romantic and lush florals. But today, I’m SO excited to share Alexis’ custom silk wedding flowers with you! Her neutral color palette, variety of textures and the drama makes you want to keep scrolling to see more. Let’s take a look at the amazing images from Marissa Murdy Studio.

Starting off with a bang! Alexis’ bouquet was a breathtaking mix of White Cosmos, Champagne Roses, White Sophia Roses, Taupe Baby’s Breath, white Eucalyptus, white mini Ruscus, and faux Pampas grass in a Modified Cascade style bridal bouquet. We originally had incorporated some brown and orange Eucalyptus but when it came together, Alexis wasn’t feeling it so she requested a change to more whites and taupes. I’m glad she went with her gut, but it is just perfect!

The bridesmaids wore shades of Terra Cotta and with the sheen of their dresses, you can see why taking out the brown/orange Eucalyptus was a good choice. Their bouquets incorporated the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in a loose, round handtied style. The simple color scheme allowed their outfits to be the feature, but the texture really made the bouquets pop!

The guys all wore a champagne Rose, with baby’s breath with the groom’s being a little more substantial. These guys looked dapper!

Here’s the whole bridal party- such a great looking crew!

The mothers wore pin on style corsages with a champagne Rose, taupe Baby’s Breath, white mini Ruscus and a small spray of rhinestones with the ribbon. The dads wore Comos and Baby’s Breath for a cohesive look that stood out from the bridal party boutonnieres.

Don’t go anywhere, because later this week I’m going to share with you photos from the ceremony and reception and you won’t want to miss it!

Bridal Bouquet Recreation for Daughter - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Tom reached out to me about recreating his daughter’s bridal bouquet as a very special Christmas gift. As you’ll see from the photos, the colors were pretty specific and unique, so I did some testing to make sure I could dye them the right colors. I’m happy to say it was successful! Let’s take a look at her original bouquet side-by-side with my custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers!

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

His daughter’s bouquet was a mix of white and blue Roses, white, blue and purple Calla Lilies, Ficus greens and a branch of Cedar at the back. It was wrapped with white satin ribbon with a sheer criss-crossed ribbon over the top. It’s unique shape and color scheme really set apart this bouquet. I love that I got to recreate a bouquet in a style that I’ve never done before!

“Erin worked closely with my parents, for a Christmas gift, to recreate my bridal bouquet from my wedding in Curacao. The colors, formation, and the entire product is pretty much an exact copy. I love it and every time I look at the flowers I think back to my special day.”
— Jenn | Pennsylvania

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

Are you looking for winter wedding flowers that don’t include Poinsettia’s or Pine? Or are you working around another holiday season that you don’t want to match too closely to?

Neutral Boho Chic Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

The last few years, the Boho trend has really taken off. Of course, it can mean a lot of different things to different people, but today’s wedding is a great example of this trend! Jessica was looking for custom silk wedding flowers in a neutral color palette to complement the colors in the bridal party’s attire. Let’s take a look at her show stopping arrangements in these photos by Sweet Apple Creative!

Here’s our beautiful bride Jessica! Her dress had so much detail, and it was important that her bouquet matched in style and texture. In her round handtied style bridal bouquet, we incorporated brown and nude Garden Roses, white Phalaenopsis Orchids, white Fern, white Ruscus and Pampas Grasses.

Her groom’s suit and son’s suits were in her matching color palette and Jessica chose to feature the brown rose with white and cream accents.

I just love the softness that his velvet bowtie and pocket square bring to the look!

“Erin is absolutely amazing! I told her my vision and she executed it! She was professional, she communicated with me, she made the flower arrangements in a timely manner and she even sent me pictures along the way to make sure I liked what she had so far. I was extremely happy with my bouquet. The bouquet made my look come together. It was the icing on the cake. I definitely would recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the future!”
— Jessica | Minnesota

Jessica had one bridesmaid that I created a smaller handtied style bouquet for. It incorporated the same mix of flowers as her bouquet. It was a great accent to her beautiful bridesmaid dress!

Dusty Lavender and White Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s reveal and review showcase a beautiful set of dusty lavender and white silk wedding flowers that made their way to Canada! Bride Katie was repurposing the flowers I made for her sister back in 2021. She needed a custom teardrop cascade bridal bouquet to match the 4 round handtied style bridesmaid bouquets she had. She also needed an additional bridesmaid bouquet in the same style. I also designed matching boutonnieres that gave the entire bridal party a cohesive look. Katie provided me with some beautiful images from her wedding day, taken by Lacey Hill Photography.

Katie’s bouquet was a tear drop cascading style bridal bouquet with a mix of dusty lavender Peonies, cream and white Cabbage and Garden Roses, white Larkspur, Baby’s Breath, lavender Spray Roses, and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids carried the same mix of flowers as the bridal bouquet, but in a loose round handtied style. The boutonnieres were white rose buds with a spray rose and greens. Matching ribbon tied everything together, literally, for a classy and timeless look for the bridal party!

“You were able to make the flowers exactly like what I had envisioned to match the rest of my decor, they held up so well (fake is the way to go), and everything was reliably on time and in good condition.

That you so much again!”
— Katie | Canada

Navy, Sapphire Blue and Gray Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

Working with silk wedding flowers gives me continual opportunities to be creative, not just with shapes of bouquets, but with their composition! Sometimes brides love a bouquet they’ve seen so much, they want an exact copy. But what I’ve found to be true more often is that brides want their silk wedding flowers to have a custom element, something they haven’t seen before. When Chumani reached out to me for her navy, Sapphire blue and gray color scheme, I was excited to present some options to her for a truly custom combination. Here are some photos of her arrangements taken by the very talented Mariah Joy Photography!

The bridal bouquet was a classic tear drop cascade shape with a mix of white Phalaenopsis orchids, ivory Cabbage Roses, navy Ranunculus, sapphire blue Roses, blue Anemone, Blueberries, blue/gray Heather and Lamb’s Ear.

The groom’s boutonniere was a sapphire blue Rose, white Orchid, Heather and Lamb’s ear.

Chumani ordered boutonnieres and corsages for all her loved ones and worked with me to decide who wears which color vs. a mix of her colors. I loved how thoughtful she was in making those decisions!

“My bouquet was absolutely beautiful and in the colors I wanted. They look like the real thing and love that I’ll get to keep them forever.”

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!

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!

Salmon, Dusty Blue and White Silk Wedding Flowers- Reveal and Review

, , ,

Dusty blue was a hot color in 2022 and I fully expect it to stick around through 2023. You may have seen it on my blog paired with yellow, blush pink, burgundy and even lavender! Today, I get to share a pairing that you might not expect, but as you’ll soon see, it’s an amazing combo. Salmon and dusty blue for the win!

Let’s take a look at these gorgeous wedding photos from Paige’s wedding day. These were taken by the very talented Palms and Lace Photo.

Here’s our lovely bride, Paige! Her loose, round, handtied style bridal bouquet was a mix of ivory Sophia Roses, white Anemone, ivory Cabbage Roses with peach centers, salmon Delphinium, white Larkspur, dusty blue Roses, Seeded and small leaf Eucalyptus.

The bridesmaids wore beautiful dusty blue dresses and carried a mix of the bridal flowers in smaller clutch style bouquets. We wrapped them matching dusty blue ribbon to add a little more color.

The groom’s boutonniere incorporated both main colors while we simplified the groomsmen to have a white Anemone and a touch of the salmon Delphinium.

Now that you have all the details, enjoy these lovely images from their ceremony!

“Love is Blooming was able to give me exactly what I was looking for for my wedding! I shopped around for a while, but no florist could guarantee I could get the colors and flowers I wanted, and I wouldn’t be able to see them in advance. Love is Blooming gave me the exact colors and worked with me throughout the entire process to create what I wanted so that there would be no surprises on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend working with her!”
— Paige | Utah

Paige also added to her order some small centerpieces. We featured the Cabbage Roses, salmon Delphinium and Eucalyptus for simple and pretty pieces. She purchases vases she liked and these mini bouquets just had to be dropped in before the big day.

Thanks again to Paige for sharing her big day with us! Are you looking for a unique spin on a well loved color for your wedding color scheme? Let’s talk!

Bold and Bright Spring Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

Today’s bride, Kimberly, filled out the Free Bride’s Checklist and also included links to bouquets that had caught her eye. What I noticed right away were the bright colors, varying textures of the flowers and sunflowers! I got a little excited about her designs and sent her a bunch of ideas. Then, I looked at everything a second time and sent her a whole bunch more options. What we landed on is bold, bright and a little spunky. Let’s take a look at the professional wedding photos by Amy Galimore Photography

Kimberly’s bouquet was a loose and lush round handtied style bouquet with sunflowers, purple Hydrangea, magenta Cabbage Roses, orange and pink Ranunculus, blue Prunus, orange Cosmos, blue Dogwood, yellow Freesia, lavender seeds, and light green Roses. You almost have to look at it twice to see everything that’s in there!

The groom’s boutonniere was a mini Sunflower, purple Hydrangea, and pink and orange Ranunculus. We tied it off with twine to have a similar texture to the burlap that all the bouquets were wrapped with.

The lovely bridesmaids wore purple dresses and those bright tones really popped against such a rich backdrop!

“Erin did a fantastic job with the flowers for my wedding! She was quick to respond and came up with beautiful combinations! She incorporated everything I asked for and more! Highly recommend!”
— Kimberly | South Carolina

Kimberly also wanted to incorporate matching florals to the large arbor for their outdoor ceremony. She opted for two altar arrangements to attach to the sides of the arbor. The swags matched the bridal bouquet flowers on a bed of eucalyptus.

Harry Potter Themed Custom Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, ,

I’m excited to show you a uniquely themed set of flowers today that are based on the colors of the houses from Harry Potter! These custom silk wedding flowers centered around the colors of navy blue, silver, maroon, emerald and yellow. My awesome bride Alex sent me some photos from their big day, conjured up by the very talented Leah Marie Photography. You can find her on Facebook at leahmariephotography.wi

Alex’s modified cascade style bridal bouquet was a mix of maroon Peonies, navy Roses, gray Dusty Miller, gold Mimosa, and Olive greens. Her bouquet was playful and moody, just like the Harry Potter movies.

The bridesmaid carried the same mix of flowers in round handtied style bouquets. They were a great complement to their navy blue dresses.

What a great looking wedding party! The guys all had boutonnieres with a mix of colors and flowers to carry on the theme.

“Love is Blooming was phenomenal to work with. Erin had wonderful ideas, included me in the process, and was friendly and adaptable. Perfect flowers for anyone who is looking to make their event pop. Plus, I get to keep them in pristine condition forever. Highly recommend.”

Dusty Rose and Ivory Silk Wedding Flowers - Reveal and Review

, , ,

I love to share all my weddings, but the soft and romantic color palettes will always have my heart! Jennifer’s custom silk wedding flowers were a mix of white and dusty pink flowers with a touch of greenery. I was so excited to show her a few new options I had found including the dusty pink Lilac. Those lacey little flowers added so much texture with just a kiss of color. Let’s take a look at these wonderful images by Nikki Joachim Photography to see what Jennifer and I came up with together!

Jennifer specified that she wanted a loose look to the bouquets with space between things. She decided on the round handtied style, and I made some suggestions for a full bouquet that wouldn’t mean every flower would be packed in tightly. Her bouquet consisted of champagne Roses, ivory Ranunculus, dusty pink Lilac, white seeds, Lamb's Ear, white Larkspur, ivory Garden Roses, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus and small leaf Eucalyptus.

Jennifer’s bridesmaid carried a matching style bouquet, just a bit smaller. The boutonnieres combined the ivory flowers and bits of the dusty pink Lilac with greenery to match the ladies.

“Erin was easy to work with and finished the project much earlier than I expected. I just showed her a few photos of what I liked and she created something beautiful with them.”
— Jennifer | Minnesota

At the altar was a table that I designed a swag/garland combination piece for. The center was a spray of Roses, Lilac and greens with long Eucalyptus pieces trailing from both sides. It filled the table nicely without being over the top. The best part is, they were able to use at there reception site for their sweetheart table as well.

Peach, White, and Succulent Bridal Bouquet Recreation - Reveal and Review

, , ,

While it’s too late for a Christmas gift idea for this year, a custom bridal bouquet recreation in silk flowers is a great idea for an anniversary, Valentine’s, birthday or ‘just because’ gift in 2023. Here’s a great example of a custom bouquet recreation for a local client. Spencer sent me a few photos of his wife’s bouquet, and I got to work finding the perfect flowers and greens to recreate it. Let’s take a look at the recreation and the original bouquet, side-by-side. Photos of the original bouquet are by the very talented Jordan Blanchard Photography.

This stunning bouquet was a mix of peach Cabbage Roses, white Hydrangea, pale peach Gardenia, white Astilbe, Succulents, Eucalyptus Seeds, Silver Dollar and Sword Eucalyptus in a round, handtied style.

peach-white-succulent-custom-bridal-bouquet-recreation
“My wife and I were living in New Orleans when we were married while we were renovating our house. After our wedding, our house came together, but her bouquet from it fell apart. Damaged from construction debris, dust, and eventually a move to Minnesota, we lost something we expected to cherish for a long time. We recently celebrated our four year anniversary and when my wife told me this years theme, I knew exactly what I wanted to get her. I searched online for bouquet recreations and stumbled on Erin. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and clear in her communication. Most importantly, what she created is perfect. It’s hard to tell the difference between the original bouquet and the recreation.”
— Spencer | Minnesota

Spencer was able to send me some awesome detail shots of the bouquet that allowed me to really examine it for all the details.

The original bouquet had a small wrapping of off white satin ribbon with a overlay of lace. While I wasn’t able to get the exact lace, I found a close enough piece that mimicked the original bouquet.

Early Fall Silk Wedding Flowers on the Mississippi River - Reveal and Review

, , ,

It’s such an honor when a friend chooses me to create their custom silk wedding flowers. And today, I get to share my friend with you! I have known Shayna and her family for over 15 years, so being asked to create flowers for her early fall wedding on the Mississippi River was a treat for me! Let’s take a look at some of the beautiful images by her very talented photographer, Nicole Krause Photography.

Shayna’s bouquet was a modified cascade style with a mix of lavender Cabbage Roses, blue Hydrangea and Lilacs, white Garden Roses and Lily of the Valley and Lavender. Several of the flowers were chosen because of special people in the family and I thought that was such a sweet touch.

Shayna’s bridesmaids carried round handtied bouquets with a mix of the bridal flowers. The boutonnieres for the bridal party included Roses, Lavender and Hydrangea in simple styles.

“Erin knew exactly what I wanted when I didn’t know! She is so kind, and I am so happy she made my wedding flowers and bridal bouquet. Thank you, Erin!”

The setting for the ceremony and reception were so naturally beautiful and they had this awesome arch made for their ceremony. I created two altar arrangements to complement the wedding colors and flowers without taking away from the beauty of the surroundings.

Shayna designed her own table decor and purchased bulk quantities of the flowers to arrange in jars with fairy lights and on the tables. It was the perfect touch of color and florals to tie everything together!
