Something Borrowed Blooms’ Stella Collection shines at content creators' romantic winter wedding ceremony

@cassiejeanphotography

Weddings are a celebration of love and individuality and at Something Borrowed Blooms, we’re honored to be part of the moments that make your special day unforgettable. Recently, we spoke with Hannah Chambers, editor, content creator, and social media manager, about her journey to the altar and how Something Borrowed Blooms helped bring her wedding vision to life.

The Planning

Planning a wedding is no small feat, and for Hannah and her now-wife, Peggy, it was a journey full of intentional decisions. Hannah recalls the excitement and challenges of planning a two-year engagement:

"I had a document that listed every single floral moment, from bud vases on side tables in the lounge area by the bar to the reception tablescapes."

Their venue, a vintage-inspired hotel in Upstate New York, became the foundation of their design choices. The virtual tour feature on Wedding Wire allowed Hannah and Peggy to envision every detail, down to the placement of each floral arrangement.

But it wasn’t just spreadsheets and checklists that made the process special. With the help of a virtual styling session from Something Borrowed Blooms’ Social Media Manager, Abbey, they created a breathtaking broken arch floral installation for their wedding ceremony. The floral install became the highlight of their wedding photos and a labor of love assembled by Hannah’s mother.

The Blooms

Hannah and Peggy’s floral journey with Something Borrowed Blooms was one of discovery and evolution. Like many brides, Hannah began her search with budget in mind but soon found herself captivated by the sustainable and versatile offerings our rent and return wedding flowers provide.

After exploring multiple collections (and changing their minds a few times!), the couple ultimately fell head over heels for the Stella Collection. Its timeless yet modern vibe was the perfect match for their venue’s vintage charm and their wedding day aesthetic.

"I think my favorite piece might be the Stella Posy, which has a burgundy peony, a vanilla rosebud, and dusty miller leaves. We put lots of Stella Posies in our ceremony installation, and something about them still catches my eye when I look at photos."

Their choice was more than just aesthetic. Sustainability played a significant role in their decision. Hannah found comfort in knowing that the florals and décor from their wedding would continue to create memories for other couples, aligning beautifully with their values.

The Details

From start to finish, Hannah describes her experience with Something Borrowed Blooms as seamless and rewarding—not just as a bride but as a content creator passionate about storytelling. The ability to preview arrangements, adapt plans, and contribute to a more sustainable wedding industry stood out as highlights of her journey.

"Finding SBBlooms so early on in the process really helped guide my decisions throughout planning. Finding a more sustainable option for florals had me looking out for ways to be more mindful in other areas."

Hannah’s thoughtful approach extended beyond flowers. She embraced sustainable choices for her bridal wardrobe, from re-wearable swimsuits to lab-grown diamond wedding bands, inspired by her decision to rent florals.

Even after her wedding, Hannah remains an active member of the SBBlooms Insider community, sharing advice and inspiration with other couples and celebrating the creative ways others use our florals.

"I’ve been married for over a year, and I’m still in the Facebook group! A choice I initially made to save money ended up becoming a creative outlet and a way to build community."

Hannah’s story is a testament to the magic that happens when intentional planning meets creative solutions. At Something Borrowed Blooms, we’re honored to be part of love stories like Hannah and Peggy’s, offering couples the opportunity to celebrate in style while making sustainable, budget-friendly choices.

Choosing a wedding color scheme is one of the most significant decisions you'll make while planning your big day. The color scheme is taken in by guests attending your wedding and lives on through time in memories and photographs. A timeless wedding color scheme ensures your wedding photos remain elegant and stylish for years to come, allowing you to look back on your special day without feeling that it has aged or gone out of style. Let's explore classic combinations that are versatile and can adapt to various themes and settings, providing a solid foundation for a beautiful and cohesive wedding aesthetic.

Classic White and Green

Why White and Green Work Together

White and green are timeless color combinations that exude elegance and versatility. White symbolizes purity, innocence, and new beginnings, making it a perfect choice for weddings. Green, representing growth and harmony, complements white beautifully. This combination works well in any season and wedding venue, whether it's a rustic outdoor ceremony or a sophisticated indoor affair. The color palette is natural and organic, making it an obviously timeless colorway.

Styling Tips for White and Green Weddings

Incorporating white and green into various aspects of your wedding can create a fresh and natural look. Here are some ideas:

Wedding Flowers: Opt for white flowers like roses, peonies, and lilies paired with lush greenery such as eucalyptus, ferns, and ivy. 

For white and green wedding flower inspiration, explore The Jane Collection, our number one best seller all year long. You truly can't go wrong with this classic color combination — countless real couples agree! 

Table Settings: Use white or natural color tablecloths with green centerpieces, napkins, or table runners to add just enough color.

Attire: Any shade of green can be timeless for your bridesmaids. Choose a deeper hue for winter months and a lighter hue for summertime, or defy the rules and choose the hue of green that your heart desires. Your green of choice can be used for your bridesmaids or groomsmen, as well. 

Elegant Blush and Gold 

The Charm of Blush and Gold

Blush and gold is a romantic and sophisticated color combination. Blush, with its soft pink hue, adds a gentle, romantic touch, while gold brings in luxury and warmth. This combination is ideal for both vintage and modern wedding themes, offering a timeless appeal that can easily adapt to different styles and settings.

Decor Ideas for Blush and Gold Weddings

Here are some ways to incorporate blush and gold into your wedding decor:

Wedding Flowers: Incorporating this wedding color palette into your wedding floral arrangement is easy. Most floral varieties, including roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and more, are available in a soft blush or pale pink.

For blush and pink floral inspiration, explore our Charlotte Collection for a beautiful pop of pink. If you're looking for something with more muted pink and blush, try our Bianca or Wren Collections.

Bridal Party Attire: Select bridesmaids dresses in a variety of soft blush and pink shades, or choose a complementary color for the entire bridal party to coordinate. Accessorize with delicate gold-toned jewelry.

Invitations: This is a great place to pull in gold! Choose an invitation with gold foil accents for an elegant touch.

To avoid overwhelming the setting, balance these colors with neutral tones like ivory and creams. 

Navy and Burgundy

The Bold Appeal of Navy and Burgundy

Navy and burgundy create a striking and timeless combination. Navy, a sophisticated and classic color, pairs beautifully with burgundy, which adds a rich, dramatic flair. This combination perfectly represents fall wedding colors and winter wedding colors, offering a warm and inviting feel while maintaining a sense of elegance.

Creating a Cohesive Look with Navy and Burgundy

To integrate navy and burgundy throughout your wedding, consider the following tips:

Floral Arrangements: Focus on burgundy and red wedding flowers like dahlias, roses and hydrangeas.

For burgundy wedding floral arrangement inspiration, take a look at our Kimpton Collection for a variety of rich red hues, or consider our Stella Collection. Both of these floral collections are timeless and beautiful.  

Table Settings: Use navy tablecloths to compliment your burgundy centerpieces. Gold or silver accents can add an extra touch of elegance. Be very intentional with the navy and burgundy color palette, placing each where appropriate and creating a formal yet rustic wedding to remember.

Bridal Party Attire: The wedding attire is a great place to mix the two colors. Bridesmaids can wear burgundy dresses, and groomsmen can wear navy suits, or both bridesmaids and groomsmen can wear navy attire to allow the burgundy wedding flowers to really pop. 

Be sure to mix in neutral colors like cream or grey to balance the boldness of navy and burgundy, creating a harmonious and sophisticated look.

Soft Pastels

The Delicate Beauty of Pastel Color Schemes

Pastel color schemes, including soft shades like lavender, peach, and mint, create a light  and romantic atmosphere. These colors are delicate and timeless, making them suitable for spring and summer weddings. Pastels bring a light and airy feel, perfect for an outdoor wedding or elegant indoor celebration.

Pastel Wedding Decor Ideas

Incorporate pastels into your wedding decor with these ideas:

Wedding Flowers: For a dreamy look, use a mix of pastel flowers such as lavender, peach roses, and mint foliage. You may also opt for a monochromatic design by choosing one color and incorporating a full range of shades. Pastels are easy to incorporate in wedding flowers since there are always in-season varieties available in these shades.

For pastel wedding flower inspiration, explore another one of our best sellers, The Millie Collection. This delicate floral collection focuses on all shades of blue and cream. For a full pastel design, try our Cameron Collection or The Eloise Collection.

Table Linens: Choose pastel-colored tablecloths, napkins, or runners to add a soft touch to your reception tables.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Dress your bridesmaids in different pastel shades for a coordinated yet dynamic look.

Pastels can also be used in wedding cakes and stationery, adding a cohesive and elegant feel to your wedding decor.

Classic Black and White

The Timelessness of Black and White

The most timeless color scheme of them all. Black and white is a classic choice for weddings, offering an elegant and sophisticated look. This high-contrast combination is suitable for any wedding style, from modern to traditional, creating a timeless and chic atmosphere. It also works anytime of year for a nighttime celebration!

Styling a Black and White Wedding

Create a chic and elegant black and white wedding with these tips:

Wedding Flowers: Focus your wedding flowers on mostly floral elements, and include less greenery to maximize the impact of the white. Explore bridal bouquet styles and choose from roses, peonies, orchids, and many other floral varieties in white and cream.

For wedding flower inspiration to compliment your black and white wedding, we suggest The Wren Collection or The Audrey Collection. Both of these wedding flower designs feature mostly white florals with little to no greenery for high contrast and big impact.

 Attire: The bride obviously wears the classic white gown, while the groom and groomsmen wear a black tuxedos or suits. Bridesmaids in all black dresses are as timeless as it gets. And your bridesmaids will thank you for a dress that can be worn again!

Venue: Select a venue that fits your vision for a black and white color scheme. Think black and white floor tiles or classic white walls and clean architecture to compliment your timeless color palette. Add metallic accents like gold or silver for extra glamor.

Invitations and details shots: Choose black and white invitations with elegant typography and minimalistic designs. For detail shots, opt for high contrast of white on black and vice versa.

This timeless color scheme ensures sophisticated and elegant vintage weddings that will never go out of style. 

Romantic Lavender and Grey

The Subtle Elegance of Lavender and Grey

Lavender and grey create a romantic and calming color combination. Lavender adds a soft, romantic touch, while grey brings balance and sophistication. This combination is perfect for spring and summer weddings, offering a delicate and elegant atmosphere.

Decor Ideas for Lavender and Grey Weddings

Incorporate lavender and grey into your wedding with these ideas:

Floral Arrangements: Use a lavender floral design, including roses and lilacs or anomalies in all shades of purple. You may also consider grey foliage such as dusty miller for a romantic rustic wedding.

Our favorite lavender wedding flowers can be found in The Marlowe Collection. This ombre design features a variety of purple and lavender flowers and is truly stunning. Another favorite is The Taylor Collection, which includes both lavender and grey elements.

Table Settings: Let the lavender flowers take centerstage on your tablescapes, while accenting with purple. Select grey tablecloths with silver accents to pull the colorway together.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Select lavender dresses for your Bridesmaids, and the groom and groomsmen should wear a grey suit with lavender accents.

Speciality Cocktail: For a special touch, consider adding a themed cocktail to the menu. A lavender French 75 cocktail at the reception entrance would be another great way to introduce your theme while delighting guests.

These colors can also be used in wedding cakes and stationery, creating a cohesive and elegant feel for your wedding decor.

Introducing the newest premium silk wedding flower collection from Something Borrowed Blooms: the breathtaking Kate Collection. Featuring a delicate mix of pastel-hued blooms, soft pink and peach accents, and vibrant blue tones, this collection truly stands out. Our design team had an incredible time bringing these looks to life in our recent launch photoshoot, and we're thrilled to share all the thoughtful details with you to inspire your wedding planning. Follow along to shop the look!

THE WEDDING FLOWERS

Let’s begin with the wedding flowers! Our SBBlooms Insiders Facebook group has been an invaluable source of inspiration for every new collection. With input from our past, present, and future brides, our design team has created the perfect collection for couples seeking soft, multi-colored flowers for their special day.

Minimal pittosporum greenery accentuates delicate pink roses, hydrangeas, peach ranunculus, and larkspur, creating a sophisticated yet fresh look that complements a range of wedding styles, from garden chic to formal.

This full collection has everything you need to complete your ceremony and reception, including two bridal bouquet styles, a coordinating bridesmaid bouquet and posy, and other bridal party arrangements. With various centerpiece options, it’s easy to add height and dimension to your setup, while the floral runner and meadow arrangements serve as stunning statement pieces!

THE LOOK

For this photoshoot, we wanted to ensure the colors of the wardrobe perfectly complemented the florals in the collection. Our goal was to enhance the soft, multi-colored blooms with selections that brought out the beauty of the arrangements. For the bridesmaids, we selected dresses in various styles and shades of green and blue from Lula Kate, creating a harmonious and elegant look. Among the choices, the Key Lime Bengaline color was a standout, offering a fresh, subtle contrast that beautifully highlighted the soft tones of the florals. It was the perfect pairing to complete the vision!

To highlight the classic elegance of this collection, we chose two contrasting yet equally show-stopping dresses from a renowned local Bridal boutique; Oui Jolie. The first was a sleek, drop waist, strapless ballgown, offering a modern twist on a timeless silhouette with clean lines and understated beauty. The second was a timeless long-sleeve lace ball gown, embodying romantic sophistication with intricate lace detailing and a regal, full skirt. Together, these gowns perfectly showcased the versatility and elegance of the collection, creating an unforgettable bridal look for any wedding style.

THE DETAILS

The options for your ceremony setup are truly limitless! For this shoot, we showcased all three variations of the Kate Aisle Markers to create a beautifully coordinated color palette. We lined the aisle with Kate floral meadows and vaseless centerpieces, adding depth to the scene.

The ceremony arch was adorned with the collection’s custom garland, interwoven with our new Baby’s Breath garland, and the focal arch incorporated our newest product, the floral runner. The Kate floral runner packs a big punch with a full, lush display of flowers and effortless install. The floral runner is composed of a flexible foam base with velcro attachments, making it very versatile and easy to install. Together, these three arches created a stunning focal point that tied everything together seamlessly. 

For the reception, design a stunning tablescape by featuring the Kate Grand Centerpieces on stands, with vaseless centerpieces placed between, creating layers of height. Elevate the look by incorporating our beige bud vases, each filled with lifelike yellow and pink rose stems, to enhance the floral display. To maximize your décor, repurpose the floral meadows and centerpieces from the ceremony by using them to adorn the cake table, creating a seamless, cohesive floral moment throughout your space.

We hope you love the Kate Collection as much as we do and that this post has inspired your wedding planning! 

The Eloise and Millie Collections shine together at Georgia Spring Wedding

@awphotoco

Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming experience, filled with countless decisions and last minute details that need to be just right to execute the wedding of your dreams. For SBBlooms Insider, Krista Sims and her now-husband, Daniel, the journey to their perfect spring wedding was made easier and more beautiful with the help of Something Borrowed Blooms. 

Here’s a glimpse into their story and how they crafted their dream wedding with rent and return premium silk flowers.

The Planning

Krista and Daniel first met five years ago in the Emergency Department, where they both worked as ED techs. Their shared passion for helping others led them to nursing school, and eventually, they both became registered nurses. Their love story blossomed amidst the hustle and bustle of the health field, and they decided to make it official and tie the knot in a whimsical spring wedding.

When it came to planning the wedding, Krista knew she wanted something that fit their spring color palette while also having a whimsical, but elegant style. After speaking with several local florists, she realized achieving her vision with fresh flowers would be challenging, especially on a tight budget and the need for seasonal availability of certain flowers. That's when she discovered Something Borrowed Blooms.

The Blooms

Krista was drawn to the ease and convenience of Something Borrowed Blooms, which solved her flower dilemma! The ability to rent exactly what she envisioned and stay within her budget was just what she needed. The quality of the premium silk flowers blew her away, and the option to rent additional decor items like candlesticks and lanterns was a bonus. Not only was Krista impressed, but her other wedding vendors couldn’t believe how real the silk blooms looked and how seamless the rental process was.

Krista rented the Eloise Bridal Bouquet for her bouquet and added a few larkspur stems for subtle hints of blue. The Bridesmaids coordinated perfectly by holding the Eloise Bridesmaid bouquets. Each arrangement was wrapped in a beautiful ivory ribbon to enhance the look of the bouquets. We love how each bridesmaid showcased personality in a variety of pink dresses.

The Ceremony

Krista chose to mix the Eloise and Millie Collections for the ceremony to tie in the blue from her bridal bouquet. The colors of these collections blended beautifully, creating a stunning visual effect that perfectly matched their wedding theme. The ceremony was set inside the venue at Warm Springs with massive windows overlooking the lush green forest. The ceremony flowers looked so realistic that guests were amazed to find out they were not fresh flowers!

Krista covered the provided circular arch by intertwining Millie and Eloise Garlands, with the addition of White Wisteria Garland as a delicate, focal point on the backdrop.

The Reception

The reception continued the ‘garden party’ theme with charming and sophisticated decor. The long dining tables were decorated with an abundance of gold brass tulip candlesticks and gorgeous crystal glass votives paired with eucalyptus garlands. The Eloise large and Grand Centerpieces were also used around the reception space and held up beautifully throughout the day, maintaining their fresh appearance from start to finish.

The Review

Reflecting on the planning process, Krista shared that choosing Something Borrowed Blooms was one of their best wedding decisions. The exclusive Facebook group and the customer service team were incredibly helpful, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable.

The wedding flowers and decor from Something Borrowed Blooms were a standout feature of their wedding day, adding to the overall beauty and magic of the event. Krista highly recommends SBBlooms to couples looking for high-quality, beautiful, and budget-friendly wedding flowers.

In Krista's words, “Overall, we are so happy we chose SBBlooms. It was one of our favorite things from our day. It truly made our day so beautiful!” 

Congratulations, Krista and Daniel! We’re so honored to have been a part of your wedding and can’t wait to be a part of many more events to come.

Quiet Luxury

Taking center stage this season is our reimagined Audrey Collection. This timeless and classic all-white color pallet is simple and understated, with a modern design. Think old-money wedding flowers! Featuring a variety of trending wedding flower arrangements, this collection includes everything needed for a floral-focused wedding day, including floral meadows and runners. These all-new floral arrangements are great for creating effortless wedding installations. 

This season we’re forecasting ‘Epic Installations.’ Bigger and more present than ever before, wedding flowers will be the focal point of the wedding ceremony and reception designs. From voluminous floral arches to grand centerpiece arrangements, no florals will be spared. 

We created this photoshoot floral install with three Audrey Floral Runners and two Audrey Floral Swags spaced between, to create a luscious floral arch. From ceremony to reception, this floral installation can be repurposed to serve double duty! 

The Audrey collection offers endless color palette possibilities. For the fall/winter 2024 season, we selected rich and regal shades of green to create the perfect palette for our monochromatic wedding flowers.

Earth Tones Refined

You’ve probably picked up on the Cafe Core trend and we are loving these tones for the wedding day! These rich earthy tones are perfect to set the tone for a lovely fall wedding. The overall aesthetic embodies a refined and modern approach to fall featuring colors like café, dusty mauve, apricot, and sandstone. This palette aligns with 2024 trends toward natural and sophisticated hues.

Featuring Patnone’s color of the year, Peach Fuzz, our Nina Collection is the perfect choice for fall wedding flowers. From personal flowers to reception decor, the collection features coordinating floral elements perfectly fit for an autumn wedding.

For the wedding reception, we introduced fresh seasonal vegetables to the tablescape for added texture and interest. Mixing eggplant, squash, and artichoke with a lush greenery garland and a modern gold candelabra, we achieved an interesting and beautiful centerpiece design that screams fall. 

For the cake, we let the florals take center stage with our all-new Nina Vaseless Centerpieces and Nina cake clusters. Using 4 vaseless centerpieces we created a horseshoe shape around the back of the cake and accented a simple, white cake with cake cluster clipping from our Nina Collection.

Elevated Romance

Our take on elevated romance is perfect for your winter and holiday weddings. It combines modern luxury with a classic romantic feel, emphasizing rich tones, opulent floral arrangements, and refined metallic accents. The color palette prominently features cherry red, ivories, dove grey, and tuxedo black. Red and pink roses from our Kimpton Collection, create a lush, romantic atmosphere. 

We’re seeing a rise in cascading arrangements this wedding season, and The Kimpton Bridal Bouquet is the perfect selection, if this style speaks your language. Cascading arrangements give a dynamic, flowing feel that adds elegance and drama to your wedding day. Pair with modern metallics wardrobe selections for your winter wedding for a perfect combo. We selected bridesmaid dresses from Reverly’s metallic collection to add the glamor we envisioned for this scene and these dresses certainly did not disappoint! Coupled with cascading floral arrangements, these elements create a movement that feels both opulent and contemporary, perfectly balancing tradition with modern trends.

Rich tablescapes with more metallic elements, like silver candle holders and sleek cutlery, paired with classic white linens and napkins tied with black ribbons, add to the design. The setting strikes a balance between ornate and understated luxury, highlighting the kimpton floral centerpieces and strategic use of height with candle placements. Shop our full line of candle rentals here to set a similar mood for your winter wedding.

Draping is another key feature this season! Soft, flowing fabrics create a sense of intimacy and grandeur, transforming a space into an ethereal, enclosed environment. In event design, draping is often used to enhance the visual narrative by guiding the eye upwards and adding layers of texture. The choice of white or neutral draping here contrasts with the bolder reds and pinks, allowing the floral details and décor to stand out.

Overall, The Kimpton Collection offers a cohesive vision of an elevated, glamorous wedding theme that merges classic romance with modern touches through a balance of bold colors, metallic finishes, and flowing fabrics.

Spring: Tulips, Daffodils, Cherry Blossoms are top choices.  Delphinium and Hydrangeas are also great choices, since these spring blooms are lush and full they easily fill a ceremony arch design. Our Millie Collection Garland is a top seller for ceremony arches during spring.

Summer: Sunflowers, Roses, Lilies are typically your most popular flower choices. During the summer season, we recommend going heavy on greenery within your ceremony arch, especially if your wedding ceremony is outdoors. Greenery can tolerate the heat much more than delicate flowers. Take a look at our full line of greenery and silk wedding flowers garland as the base for your diy ceremony arch. 

Fall: Dahlias, Marigolds, Chrysanthemums are always top of mind and great fall choices because of their vibrant colors and warm, rich hues. Our Nina Collection Garland and Kinsley Collection Garland include an abundance of popular fall florals to accentuate your installation. 

Winter: Poinsettias, Amaryllis, Holly are synonymous with the holiday season. But you may also consider less holiday specific florals and greenery for your ceremony arch. Greenery is also a good choice for this time of year. 

By choosing flowers that are in season, you can ensure that your wedding arch is not only beautiful but also reflects the natural beauty and spirit of the time of year.

Floral Wedding Arch Styles

There are countless possibilities when it comes to choosing the style of your wedding ceremony arch. And choosing the right style for your floral wedding arch can help set the tone for your entire ceremony. Here are some of the most popular styles to consider, each offering its unique aesthetic.

Classic Floral Wedding Arches

Common shapes with clean lines like rectangles, circular, and arched frames adorned with lush greenery and flowers are great examples of classic wedding arches. For this type of wedding flower installation, we recommend starting with your structure first. Amazon is typically a good source for a perfect wedding arch structure if you don’t already have one. A few of our favorites are linked here. 

First, Choose a frame as your starting point. Next, choose a premium silk garland option from Something Borrowed Blooms or compose your own fresh flower garland if you're an expert floral designer. Our rent and return floral options arrive at your doorstep pre-arranged and assembled making your arch setup as easy and affordable as it gets! Lastly, zip-tie your garland around the frame structure to complete diy arch design. You can add as many garlands as you would like for a full and lush design, or you can use remaining flowers to inspire wedding centerpiece ideas.

Here is a great example of how easy it is to accomplish a classic wedding flower ceremony arch in a matter of minutes: 

As you’ll see from the video there are so many options and possibilities with minimal effort involved. Other supplies needed to complete this look are zip ties, scissors, and a step stool, also linked here. 

Rustic Floral Wedding Arches

For a Rustic Floral Arch design, we suggest using natural elements. This includes the frame, like a wooden wedding arch, or a pre-existing structure at your ceremony site, like an overhead beam for example. To achieve a rustic design, less florals would be needed. Consider using a simple floral swag or 1-2 floral garlands to complete your arch. Let the natural elements of your rustic wedding venue take center stage. Our favorite floral collections for a rustic theme include The Taylor Collection, The Olivia Collection, and The Jane Collection.

Boho Floral Wedding Arches

Boho themed wedding ceremonies are typically more natural, but with an eclectic and vibrant twist. To achieve a boho wedding flower arch, you may also consider using a natural structure as your base or a geometric frame to create your arch. Similar to the rustic styling, let your structure take the focal point of your wedding arch with flowers playing a secondary role. 

Our best wedding flower collection for a boho-themed wedding is our Nina Collection, which features a beautiful dessert canyon color palette and dried, natural elements like pampas. Choose from our pre-arranged garlands, swags, and grand centerpieces to complete your very own boho floral arch.

Modern Floral Wedding Arches

A modern floral arch is one of our favorites. There are so many new age techniques and designs that fit the modern couple perfectly. Modifications to the classic floral arch include the Broken Floral Arch and the Grounded Floral Arch. Both of these modern designs are beautiful choices for any wedding theme.

The Grounded Floral Arch does not require a structure or frame, instead the floral design is created directly on the ground and can be done anywhere. This floral arch design works for outdoor or indoor weddings. To create a ground floral arch, we use a mix of grand centerpieces, centerpieces, garlands, and a few floral posies. 

Take a look at this quick video to learn how to create a modern floral arch in a matter of minutes:

The Broken Floral Arch is an asymmetrical design using two column structures or frames, instead of a classic full structure. For the base, we use stands, using a tall stand on one side and a short stand on the other side. Place one stand on each side of the ceremony space, flanking the area where you will exchange vows. Next add your floral components to the stands to create a crescent shape on both sides. For florals, again we recommend our floral garlands as the primary florals, you may also use some posies, loose stems and a few centerpieces at the base, depending on your vision.

Take a look at this video for a step-by-step guide on creating the broken floral arch. This DIY floral wedding arch is easy to create and has a big presence:

Any of our floral collections work well for a modern arch design, but some of our favorite floral collections for a modern theme include The Wren Collection, The Gemma Collection, and The Jane Collection.

Tips for Maintaining Freshness of Wedding Arch Flowers

If you are using fresh flowers, ensuring that your wedding arch remains fresh and lively throughout the ceremony is crucial. Here are some tips to help maintain the freshness of your floral arrangements:

Choose Hardy Flowers: Opt for flowers known for their durability and ability to withstand different environmental conditions. Flowers like roses, lilies, chrysanthemums, and orchids are good choices.

Consider Seasonal Flowers: Using flowers that are in season ensures they are at their peak freshness and are more likely to last longer.

Proper Hydration: Insert the stems of the flowers into water tubes or floral picks to keep them hydrated. These small tubes can be hidden within the arrangement and will provide a continuous water supply to the flowers.

Spray with Water: Lightly mist the flowers with water periodically to keep them fresh, especially if the weather is hot or dry.

Avoid Direct Sunlight: Place the arch in a shaded area to prevent the flowers from wilting under direct sunlight. If the ceremony is outdoors, consider setting up a canopy or using umbrellas for shade.

Cool Storage: If possible, store the floral arrangements in a cool place until they are ready to be set up. This helps preserve their freshness.

Set Up Last Minute: Arrange and set up the floral arch as close to the ceremony time as possible to minimize the time the flowers are exposed to the elements. Work closely with your florist to plan the types of flowers and arrangements that will hold up best in the conditions of your wedding day.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your wedding arch flowers remain beautiful and fresh, providing a stunning backdrop for your special day. Maintaining fresh flowers can be overwhelming, especially when planning for extreme weather, hot or cold! Consider silk wedding flowers instead for a stress-free and beautiful alternative to fresh wedding flower arches. Our premium silk rent and return flowers arrive at your doorstep pre-arranged 3-days prior to your event date, giving you or your wedding coordinator ample time to set up your diy wedding flower arch days in advance without having to worry about maintaining freshness!

When it comes to wedding planning, selecting the decor and details may be one of the best parts. That’s because the decor is key for setting the vibe of your event. With wedding centerpieces at the heart of wedding decor, they play a crucial role in setting the mood and enhancing the overall aesthetic. These elegant arrangements draw guests' attention, providing a focal point that ties together the theme and leaves guests with a lasting impression. Whether you're aiming for a minimalist chic look or a grand, opulent display, centerpieces help create a memorable and visually stunning experience. Take some time to consider your vision and bring the details to life through unique wedding centerpieces.

Centerpiece Trends for Every Season

If you haven’t already identified the theme for your wedding date and are looking for unique, gorgeous centerpiece ideas, you may want to consider the season as a good starting point for inspiration on your special day. Additionally, exploring different wedding color schemes can help you create a cohesive and visually appealing decor that complements the seasonal elements.

Spring: Fresh and Vibrant Floral Selections

Spring is synonymous with renewal and blooming life, making it the perfect time for fresh, vibrant floral centerpieces. We especially love an abundance of floral arrangements for spring, staying true to the season itself. Embrace the season with wedding centerpieces featuring tulips, daffodils, peonies, and cherry blossom florals. Opt for pastel hues for your table linens and accompanying selections, paired with lush greenery to evoke the freshness of spring.

Summer: Bold and Bright Centerpiece Designs

Summer weddings call for bold, bright, and energetic centerpieces. Think of tropical flowers like hibiscus, orchids, and sunflowers in vivid colors such as fuchsia, orange, and yellow. Incorporate elements like citrus fruits, rattan elements, or lanterns to reflect the sunny, lively spirit of summer. These vibrant designs will infuse your wedding reception with warmth and joy.

Adding an additional variation of centerpiece sizes to your tablescapes can provide for a unique decor display. Mix medium and large floral centerpieces with bud vases to accomplish this look. We also love the use of pattern play during the summer months to bring an additional layer of character to your reception table. Consider bold-printed napkins or linens to pull in layers of color.

Autumn: Warm and Earthy Compositions

Autumn's rich palette provides a fantastic opportunity for warm and earthy centerpieces. Use flowers in shades of red, orange, and gold, complemented by rustic elements like dried leaves, branches, pumpkins, and pampas. Incorporate textures like burlap and wooden candle sets to enhance the cozy, rustic feel. These tablescapes can create a welcoming and nostalgic atmosphere.

Winter: Elegant and Festive Arrangements

Winter centerpieces can be both elegant and festive, incorporating a mix of whites, blues, and greens. Deep reds and gold are also popular choices for winter events. Accents like candles, fairy lights, and taper candles can add a warm, inviting glow. The more candles, the better for any winter event. The flicker and glow from candlelight create the most magical atmosphere and are sure to bring a touch of magic and elegance to your winter wedding.

Modern Wedding Themes and Matching Centerpieces

If the season isn’t providing you the inspiration you need for wedding themes, you may consider a unique style to draw your inspiration instead.

Minimalist Themes

For a minimalist wedding theme, opt for simple wedding centerpieces and understated designs. Think of single-stem flowers in sleek vases or simple greenery runners. One of our favorite looks for a minimalist vibe is an abundance of glowing candles. The key is to emphasize clean lines and minimal color, creating an elegant and modern look to your table decor.

Rustic Themes

Rustic-themed weddings benefit from centerpieces made with natural materials. Consider using wooden crates, a mason jar in place of a vase, burlap, and wildflowers. Add elements like twine, lace, or vintage books to enhance the rustic charm. A rustic wedding centerpiece provides a laid-back and homey feel, perfect for a countryside or barn wedding.

Glamorous Themes

Glamorous weddings call for opulent and luxurious centerpieces. Use materials like crystals, pearls, and lush, vibrant blooms such as roses, orchids, and lilies. Incorporate metallic accents in gold or silver and use tall, dramatic arrangements to create a sense of grandeur and sophistication.

Innovative Materials and Structures for Centerpieces

Break away from tradition with centerpieces made from non-traditional materials such as metal, glass, or recycled objects. Consider designs that feature unique structures, like hanging arrangements, sculptural pieces, or multi-tiered displays. Encouraging creativity and uniqueness, these centerpieces will stand out and leave a lasting impression.

Incorporating Personal Touches into Your Centerpieces

Personalize your wedding centerpieces to reflect your unique love story. Use items that symbolize your relationship or shared interests, such as vintage cameras for photography enthusiasts or globes for avid travelers. Incorporating personal touches adds an emotional connection to your decor, making your wedding even more special.

Tips for Choosing the Right Centerpiece for Your Venue

When selecting centerpieces, consider the size, style, and setting of your wedding venue. Large, dramatic arrangements might overwhelm a small, intimate space, while delicate, small centerpieces could get lost in a grand hall. Ensure your centerpiece designs complement the venue's architecture and decor, enhancing the overall aesthetic without clashing.

DIY Centerpiece Ideas for the Creative Couple

For those who love a hands-on approach, DIY wedding centerpieces offer a personal and creative touch. Simple projects like assembling floral centerpieces, crafting candle centerpieces and arrangements, or creating floral wreaths can be both fun and rewarding for the crafty. Using various wedding supplies, these personalized touches not only save money but also add a unique charm to your wedding decor.

Something Borrowed Blooms’ couple uses timeless Spring inspired collection at Great Marsh Estate wedding.

At Something Borrowed Blooms, we love hearing our couples' unique and heartwarming stories and how our premium silk flowers made a special impact on their wedding day. Today, we're delighted to share the beautiful journey of Taylor and Tommy, whose wedding day was a celebration of their love and a testament to the magic of our rent & return wedding flowers.

Invisible String:

Taylor and Tommy believe in the “invisible string” theory, which suggests that an unseen thread connects destined individuals. Growing up in the same town, they knew of each other through their siblings, despite attending rival high schools and never meeting.

Their paths finally crossed in college when Tommy visited Taylor’s campus. In a moment that felt like the universe aligning, Taylor hugged Tommy without an introduction. Later, they discovered each other's numbers already saved in their phones—a serendipitous mystery that felt like destiny. From that moment, they were inseparable and have been together for nearly eight years, their love growing stronger with each passing day.

Choosing the Perfect Florals:

When planning their wedding, Taylor had a clear vision for her wedding flowers: budget-friendly, simple, and customizable. However, her search for local fresh floral vendors left her disheartened. The high price tag associated with fresh flowers and the seasonal variability made it hard to envision the final look and the costs seemed unjustifiable. Something Borrowed Blooms was a great choice for wedding flowers, offering Taylor the transparency she was looking for and a budget-friendly option. After going back and forth on all the collections from Something Borrowed Blooms, Taylor finally found her perfect match by mixing the Charlotte and Audrey Collections for a timeless spring wedding flower look.

“I love both of the collections because of how classic they look! I knew I wanted a round bouquet with subtle pinks incorporated into the flowers, so Charlotte was the perfect fit! I loved how it looked against my dress and the blues in my bridesmaid's dresses. The Audrey collection was simple and elegant and really elevated our dining tables for our reception. Both of them came together perfectly and delivered the classic look I was going for.” 

The Ceremony:

Thanks to the breathtaking views of the Great Marsh, Taylor and Tommy’s ceremony space was naturally stunning. Adding the Audrey Grand Centerpieces at the beginning of the aisle and flanking the ceremony space, perfectly enhanced the terrace, adding an elegant touch to an already picturesque setting.

The Reception:

For the reception, Charlotte Centerpieces adorned the high-boy tables, while Audrey Large Centerpieces graced the dining tables. The Audrey Collection continued to impress guests throughout the venue, with Tommy and Taylor creatively repurposing the Grand Centerpieces from the ceremony to accentuate their sweetheart table beautifully.

 “For our reception space, I wanted it to be clean and simple so I knew The Audrey Collection would tie everything together in that space!” 

The Review:

Taylor raves that the best part of renting her wedding flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms was the simplicity of the entire process! From start to finish, she was amazed by how stress-free and convenient the entire experience was. 

“My florals were delivered a week before, and everything came just as ordered. I had a ‘day of coordinator’ who set everything up and placed everything back in the boxes by the night's end. I scheduled a free FedEx pickup for the Monday after the wedding, and they did all the heavy lifting! Renting my wedding flowers with SBBlooms was truly such a magical process, and I would do it again and again for any other event! I’m one of the first of my friends to get married, and after this weekend, it’s safe to say I have turned them all into “faux floral” fans!”

Congratulations to Taylor and Tommy! We are truly honored to have been a part of your wedding day and are excited to be a part of your future celebrations.
