Thrilled Bride Shares Her Feedback on her Designer Silk Wedding Flowers

 Remember Rachel's beautiful cascade bouquet for her January wedding?  If not, check out this blog post featuring the flowers, and this blog post with some pictures she sent over.

  Rachel was kind enough to send me her thoughts about working with me and her experience with designing custom silk wedding flowers.  I wanted to pass it along because sometimes it takes hearing it from someone else to feel confident when deciding on wedding vendors for your big day.

"Working with Erin was amazing and I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone! I'll admit I wasn't completely sold on silk flowers, but since we were having a December wedding we thought it would be for the best. And I'm so glad we went this route! Erin had creative ideas and she was very flexible with working within our budget. The best part was being able to see the pictures as a work in progress - you would definitely not be able to do this with real flowers. Erin took my ideas and ran with them to make gorgeous bouquets that I couldn't have even dreamed of. Some of our guests even commented on how real the flowers looked!

If you're looking to use silk flowers, Erin is definitely your gal. She's quick to respond to inquiries, she's fair with her pricing, she's flexible, helpful, and very friendly."

Thanks again to Rachel and her new hubby for choosing Love Is Blooming.  Want to hear from more of my happy brides? Hop on over to my recommendations page and see what the other gals are saying.

Peonies in Action!

I was in love with Briana's silk wedding flowers--anyone that came over while I was working on these beauties had to put up with my gushing for a few minutes as I showed them off. They photograph beautifully, they stand out in any setting, and they are my favorite flower--trifecta!

This tantalizing eye candy is brought to you by the ever-so-talented Agape Moments Photography out of Oak Grove, Minnesota. Be sure and browse their site to see more!

I love the vintage look of this shot--seems pretty timeless!

Don't they look perfect even with the snow?! Who woulda thought?

Thank you so much for your wonderful work! They were absolutely perfect and we received lots of compliments on them! I couldn't be happier:)

Sincerely,
Briana

Thanks again to Briana for trusting me with her silk wedding flowers and to Agape Moments Photography for such beautiful work.

Peonies in...Winter?

One of the great things about silk wedding flowers is that you don't have wait until a type of flower is in season and you don't have to fork over a big chunk of change to get out of season flowers.

Briana contacted me and wanted the big fluffy pink Peonies that you see in all the bridal magazines. Her girls were wearing Peacock colored dresses, an up and coming color trend for 2012. She wanted flowers that were really going to stand out against their dresses and she didn't care one bit that her flower of choice is usually a spring/summer flower. I breathed a sigh of relief knowing I could get exactly what she wanted. And I gotta say, I love a bride that marches to her own beat! I thought these bouquets were absolutely gorgeous and I loved that she didn't go with a typical winter theme for her January 21st wedding.

Bridal Bouquet

We took an "opposite" approach to the bridesmaid bouquets. The Bridal bouquet had mostly pink, so the bridesmaids carried mostly white. We also changed up the ribbon color and wrap length to give it a slightly different style.

Bridesmaid Bouquet

As you might notice, peonies are pretty large; too large for any of the personal flowers. Check back to see how we incorporated such a fluffy shape in the boutonnieres and corsages. And then after that, I have some B-E-A-Utiful pictures from Briana's gorgeous winter wedding. You won't want to miss it!
