3 Trending Autumn & Winter Color Palettes

Top wedding flower and color combinations for the fall 2022 wedding season


A new wedding season is just around the corner and we couldn't be more excited to kick it off with some Pinterest-worthy wedding looks! So much so, that we just released our newest lookbook to inspire our SBBlooms Bride’s dream weddings – Introducing the Autumn/Winter 2022 Lookbook. A collection of gorgeous wedding flower and color palette combinations to inspire your wedding planning.

Take a look at our top three wedding color palettes for Autumn and Winter 2022.


Green hues have been trending for some time now, but there is an underutilized shade of green that’s taking the focal point. Olive is here just in time for the most popular wedding season. Shades of merlot and ice pink compliment olive green and complete this alluring combination. 

Our Stella Collection is taking center stage with the NEW Stella Bridal Bouquet (Garden-cut). A stunning new bridal bouquet addition made entirely of wine and marsala peonies and ranunculus. Hints of eucalyptus create dimension as the shape creates beautiful movement. The longer-than-average stems truly create the ‘fresh from the garden’ look. Add in bright pink florals like our Gemma garland to add a dramatic pop of color.

We’re absolutely SWOONING over this warm and rich color palette! Including, the color of the year – veri peri, a soft mauve, and rust. Create an unexpected combination by pairing the palette with the delicate and classic Wren Collection. Take it to the next level with a mix of velvet and satin for a luxurious aesthetic.

A wild mix of eucalyptus accented with antique beige and creamy linen is what makes our Taylor Collection our most versatile look. Choose a neutral color palette and accent with greenery for a classic wedding look for any season. Add a little elegance to any bridal bouquet by wrapping the stems with a Honeysilk ribbon. A beautiful lightweight ribbon with a crepe matte texture on one side and soft satin on the other.

Create a Custom Wedding Flower Look

Add your own personal touch to any Something Borrowed Blooms wedding floral arrangement


If you’ve been searching for wedding flowers, but haven’t come across your exact vision it's time to get creative. Adding your personal touch to your wedding flowers can help to create the cohesive wedding design you’re set on.  At Something Borrowed Blooms, we specialize in premium silk wedding flower collections, perfectly designed and curated for an affordable and cohesive wedding. With 20 premium silk floral collections to choose from, you’re bound to find one that matches your wedding vision. But we understand that sometimes even the best designs aren’t JUST right for your unique needs.  Although we don’t create custom arrangements, we can help you create the look you’ve been dreaming of with a few tweaks and additions of loose stems and garland

As we wrap up this busy Spring/Summer wedding season, we’re reflecting on some of our favorite additions to our beautiful premium silk arrangements. Our couples created some of the most beautiful settings this past season and we can’t help but share their great ideas!

Keep reading to be inspired by some of our favorite ‘custom’ Something Borrowed Blooms wedding flower looks.

Periwinkle and Blush

A soft and elegant pastel color palette has been a huge trend this past season! So much so, that it's safe to say our Millie Collection has been having a real MOMENT. Our Brides have been getting creative by adding other products to the arrangements to complete their vision.

Intertwining our Peony garland with the Millie garland will create a stunning garden-inspired look. With the help of some zip-ties and clippers, hanging this on a pergola or arch takes little to no time at all and can be used again at the reception!

SBBlooms Bride, Elizabeth added fresh light pink roses to her Mille Bridal Bouquet (Garden-cut) for some added color. But you can recreate this look by adding our Pink Rosebuds (Set of 12). Simply add the short stems to the bouquet and you’re good to go!


Dried Neutrals

Our Wren Collection embodies a modern and neutral color palette with subtle hints of color. Adding our Dried Cream, Tan, and Pink pampas grass bundles to this collection's arrangements can turn this contemporary floral collection into a boho-chick look in seconds.

Pair with warm colors like SBBlooms Bride Toni, for a Pinterest-worthy aesthetic.


Bold and Lush

One of our favorite mix-match duos is the Nina and Laurel Collections! For brides who want more greenery in the gorgeous sunset-inspired collection, we always recommend mixing in our ‘all-greenery’ collection, The Laurel. SBBlooms Bride, Diana decided to do a little DIY after receiving her blooms and attach the Laurel Posies on the back of the Nina Posies with handy zip-ties. This creates the illusion of the two collections as one, and adds the perfect amount of greenery!

After the ceremony, she detached the two posies from each bridesmaid and added the single posies in vases for her centerpieces… How genius?!


The possibilities are ENDLESS! Check out our collection of loose stems. You might find something that takes your wedding flower collection of choice over the top. Check out the video below to see a few combinations of our bridal bouquets and loose stems.


There are many ways to add your personal touch to our premium silk wedding flowers. Tell us in the comments how you plan on making your borrowed blooms your own for your big day!

3 Tips for a Budget-Friendly Elopement

Skip the big wedding and opt for an intimate ceremony with these three helpful tips


Following your engagement, the time will come to decide what kind of wedding you and your partner want. Do you want an elaborate wedding filled with hundreds of your closest family and friends? Or, would you rather have an intimate ceremony that includes the two of you in a place you find yourself dreaming about? If you answered yes to the second question, eloping is calling your name and you will NOT regret it.

Keep reading to learn our best tips and tricks for an elopement you’ll never forget!

1. Rent the Flowers

Just because the ‘guest list’ will be small, doesn’t mean you can’t have beautiful floral arrangements for your big day. A fresh flower bridal bouquet can cost anywhere between $175-$250 depending on the location and seasonality of the blooms. With Something Borrowed Blooms, you can RENT a premium silk bridal bouquet for just $65. Want to keep your bouquet? Purchase it and we’ll make one fresh, never before used, just for you!

Showcase the Bridal bouquet in your bedroom or purchase a watercolor keepsake to have and hold forever. 


2. Save on the Dress

Any white dress will do! Whether it’s short or long, the most important thing is that you feel beautiful in it. #SBBloomsBride Sara opted for a cute mini white dress for her courthouse wedding that she found on E-bay and paired with our bright and colorful Kinsley Bridal bouquet for a fun and eclectic look.

Following their intimate ceremony, they held a beautiful dinner reception with friends and family and decorated the space with coordinating Kinsley centerpieces to accent the tables.  


3. Pick your Dream Location

If a courthouse wedding isn’t your groove, choose a destination you and your partner have always wanted to visit. As a bonus, you’ll already be in your honeymoon spot once you say your “I do’s”!

There’s no better time to utilize our extended 10-day rental period than for a destination wedding. Our 10-day rental period allows couples to receive their blooms domestically and travel with them wherever they wish to exchange their vows. How cool? Couples can receive their wedding flowers in the comfort of their home with a 10-day period to travel freely across the country, or internationally, and back before returning your blooms. The convenience of a 10-day rental also alleviates the stress of finding a local FedEx when you’re in an unfamiliar city.

If you’re renting a bridal bouquet and boutonniere or a full assortment of products, you can’t beat the price of our rent and return wedding flowers!

With these helpful tips in mind, you’re ready to plan a perfect elopement on any budget!

Happy planning!

Introducing Wren

Our most luxurious silk wedding flower collection gets a brand-new name

@sherondaphoto

Say hello to Wren, formerly known as our Wtoo Collection and one of our most popular collections. The Wren Collection is a statement in itself and embodies luxury and modernism all at an affordable price. So much so, we’ve decided to showcase the wedding of Kaitlin and her now-husband, Joe. With premium silk white orchids, blush, and beige duchess roses it’s no wonder this collection is a showstopper at every wedding!

Keep reading to find out how SBBlooms Bride; Kaitlin styled the wedding of her dreams using the Wren Collection.


When planning for wedding flowers, Kaitlin and Joe's number one priority was making sure they got the ‘most bang for their buck’. They wanted to keep costs at a minimum without sacrificing quality. Of course, this is where Something Borrowed Blooms came in!

“I rented with SBBlooms for several reasons. The prices were outstanding compared to the prices and quotes I saw for real florals and they look just as real. I also loved that SBBlooms also offers decor so I was able to get the gold stands I needed for my grand centerpieces and more right on their site which was convenient and made it a one-stop-shop. The customer service team is so great and helped me with any questions I had; they even offered their suggestions and ideas. Lastly, I love that they offer preview packs beforehand so I was able to see for myself how real the florals looked in advance. It was important that I knew what I'd have on my day and wouldn't be surprised in any way.“



With the couple’s elegant venue and cinnamon rose satin bridesmaid dresses from our friends at Revelry, the Wren Collection was a no-brainer. The Wren collection makes for a dramatic statement with its natural design of overflowing blooms. The collection includes a beautiful mix of white, cream, linen, and soft blush open rose varieties, paired with white and pale peach orchids. This premium silk orchid collection provides affordable luxury and design for all.

“I just felt like it had to be Wren! I know greenery is super popular, but I felt like this would be unique and give a nice, luxe touch. I also loved the asymmetrical look that they have.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better experience! As mentioned, I loved the look of my florals and got several compliments from guests; they looked amazing in all of our wedding pictures, too. The process was super stress-free, I received everything on time and it was so easy to simply ship them back after the wedding and see that they weren't going to waste. From start to finish, I knew I could rely on SBBlooms and that if I had any questions or concerns I could voice it with their team and get a helpful response. I definitely recommend them to anyone considering using them for their next wedding or event!”


Congratulations Kaitlin and Joe!

5 Sustainable Wedding Ideas

Keep the planet and your budget in mind with these sustainable wedding hacks


We’re celebrating earth day with helpful tips and tricks for an eco-friendly and sustainable wedding! If throwing a waste-free ceremony and reception is a top priority for you as a couple, then these 5 sustainable wedding ideas will make your planning a breeze all while reducing the carbon footprint on our beautiful planet.

From renting to recycling, keep reading to successfully throw a beautiful eco-friendly wedding!

1. Rent your Wedding Flowers

The ultimate sustainable choice on the wedding day - rent your wedding flowers! After all, flowers are arguably the biggest waste day of the wedding. Most flowers are just used for a few minutes for the ceremony or hours for the reception before being thrown out. 

At Something Borrowed Blooms, we specialize in premium silk wedding flowers that are both on-trend and on-budget. Our collections of beautiful silk wedding flowers are recycled and refreshed after each use to ensure the highest quality with each rental, with little to no waste. Flowers are passed on from one wedding to the next, providing for one of the most sustainable wedding flower options on the market. And these eco-friendly florals also include many other benefits including full price transparency; our prices are the same all year long, so you don’t have to pay a premium during holidays, and unlimited availability; our flowers are always in season no matter where or when you tie the knot!

SBBlooms also sources packaging from SFI-certified suppliers! This means our boxes are corrugated, 100% recyclable, and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.


2. Second-hand Wedding Gowns

A one-time wear dress is the opposite of sustainable! If you’re looking for an alternative consider Still White, a company that allows brides to sell and buy gently used wedding dresses for a fraction of the cost of designer prices. With sustainability at the forefront of everything they do, Still White's mission is to invest in future-focused solutions, which is why they contribute 1% of their revenue for the good of the planet. Every wedding gown purchased reduces carbon emissions, water, and textile waste. And by re-wearing a fashion item, you give it a longer life and reduce its carbon footprint.

This tip is a win-win! Get your dream wedding dress at a discounted price and help the planet at the same time

3. 'Green' Party Favors

Let’s face it, party favors often end up in the trash creating unnecessary waste. But you can change that! Send your guests home with a cute potted plant or jar of honey like the ones below from White Confetti Box on Etsy to commemorate their time at your wedding! Not only is it eco-friendly, but who wouldn’t love a succulent or something sweet to add to their favorite treat. The best part? These party favors won’t go to waste!

Or, reach out to local bee farms and nurseries for these party favors and support your local businesses!


4. Plantable Wildflower Invitations

Leading up to the wedding date, there are so many events that traditionally require paper invites. Think engagement party, bridal shower, couple shower, bachelorette/bachelor party, rehearsal dinner, save the dates, and finally the wedding invite. So much paper, all to end up in the trash!

Consider using plantable wildflower invitations like the ones below from My Eco Designs on Etsy! Instead of your guests tossing the invites in the trash, provide them with an eco-friendly option to plant their invitations and grow wildflowers at the same time by using quality recycled seed paper. 


5. Create a Wedding Website

Want to go completely paperless? Wedding websites have been increasingly popular within the past few years. With our lives grounded by technology and our digital devices, it just makes sense for these important events to sync! Zola offers free wedding websites that provide customization and online RSVP

What better way to showcase your entire wedding experience on a personalized website!

There are so many ways to incorporate more sustainable choices for your wedding. Choose a few that best suit your plans for a beautiful wedding day and take pride in conserving mother nature’s resources. 



Being eco-conscious is one of our top priorities at Something Borrowed Blooms. We are committed to providing couples with a more sustainable & eco-friendly alternative for wedding flowers. With that being said, we love taking a part in spreading the word on all eco-friendly wedding day options.

Happy Earth Day from all of us here at SBBlooms! Tell us, what are some ways you’re keeping sustainability in mind on your wedding day?

How to Create the Perfect Wedding Ceremony Space

Recreate these three popular wedding ceremony flowers with ease.


By now, you’ve selected your ceremony location and most likely have envisioned your vows taking place in a specific spot. Since this will be one of the most photographed scenes from your wedding, it’s now time to put some focus on elevating the space with beautiful florals.

Keep reading to be inspired by the most sought after wedding ceremony spaces that can be recreated with premium silk flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms.

Ground Arch 

Since releasing our Spring 2022 Lookbook, #SBBloomsBrides have been obsessed over the featured ground arch using our newest Bianca Collection. With the luscious pampas grass and beautiful blown-out duchess roses and ranunculus, it’s easy to see why brides are dying to recreate this look for their ceremony space.

With a little creativity and DIY, the ground arch can be achieved in as little as 20 minutes by using large centerpieces and grand centerpieces, along with garlands from any collection! Start by placing the 4-6 grand centerpieces at the back and curve them towards the front. Add in 6-8 large centerpieces to create the arch and add 4-6 garlands on the ground to hide the centerpiece vases and finish off the look. Consider adding small centerpieces to help cover the gaps and create a seamless look. Voila! A beautiful focal point for you and your fiance to say ‘I do’.

This look would take a fresh florist hours to create and could easily cost $1,500+. But achieving this look with pre-arranged premium silk flowers takes a matter of minutes and a few hundred dollars.

SBBlooms Tip: Reuse the garland and various sized centerpieces at your reception to save on cost!


Trailing Arch

A true Pinterest-worthy setup! We’ve received lots of design questions on how to create our grand opening and Jane Collection install. Using our floral garland and grand centerpieces, you too can create this gorgeous trailing arch too!

Place two grid walls or similar structures to fit your style on either side of the ceremony spot. Start by placing one grand centerpiece on the ground, on the outer side of each wall. Next, zip-tie the garland at the inner corner of the grid wall and work your way down diagonally. Adding more garland as you go down creates a fuller look. Once you reach the bottom, wrap the garland around the vase of the grand centerpieces to hide the vase. This creates an emerging floral design. Repeat on the opposite side and you’re done!


Minimalist Floral Altar 

This ceremony design is an SBBlooms favorite! If you’re looking for an easy and simple way to elevate your ceremony space, look no further than our grand centerpieces and stands paired together. We recommend two tall and two short stands with grand centerpieces on top of each.

Place two stands on each side of the ceremony space and stagger one slightly forward and the other slightly back to create a stunning look with depth and interest.

Samantha and Chester's Intimate Wedding

College sweethearts say ‘I do’ with premium silk wedding flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms.


After a long engagement delayed by job changes and COVID-19 reschedules, Samantha and Chester finally tied the knot accompanied by their closest family and friends. From the perfect dress to the flowers, the couple's wedding day was a fairytale adorned with beautiful wedding flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms.

Keep reading to learn how SBBlooms Bride; Samantha, styled the wedding of her dreams using the Olivia Collection!


When planning for wedding flowers, the most important thing for Samantha and Chester was to keep affordability and convenience in mind. With our easy and stress-free ordering process, SBBlooms was the perfect fit!

“...We paid for most of our wedding on our own, so we wanted an option that would fill the space while still fitting within our budget. I also wanted to be able to customize my florals as much as possible since most of our decor and setup were all DIY. I loved being able to see and feel my flowers ahead of time and get an idea of how I wanted everything set up before the day came.

Once I read all of the incredible reviews about how real the flowers looked I was sold. My biggest fear was that my flowers would end up looking stiff or plastic, but you would never know from my photos! Even on the day of the wedding, I had guests asking how my flowers hadn’t wilted by the end of the night.

Being able to go into the day knowing exactly how my bouquets would look was a huge stress relief and one less thing I had to worry about.”  

(The photos speak for themselves!)



The search for classic and modern wedding flowers was short, as the Olivia Collection was exactly what the couple was looking for! The Olivia Collection is our gorgeous, Italia-inspired design. The rustic, hand-tied collection is made of ivory roses, mini ranunculus, rosemary olive bushes. And it’s a sophisticated palette for weddings in every season. Sam decorated her ceremony arch with the Olivia garland and paired the collection with Taylor boutonnieres for the groom and his guys, a true testament to the versatility of our collections.

“We wanted something that felt somewhat traditional, but not too dated. Olivia is so classic but still has these beautiful little details that make it feel modern and elevated. The colors were exactly what I wanted for my decor and matched my bridesmaids beautifully. Olivia is a perfect neutral option to be able to decorate around!” 


“I cannot rave enough about SBBlooms and their staff! We had a last-minute change on our order and they were able to resolve the issue overnight! Being a part of the SBBlooms Brides Facebook group was also super helpful during the planning process and eased a lot of nerves!”

Congratulations Samantha and Chester!

We love hearing from our #sbbloomsbrides. Share your favorite wedding details and memories with us below.

3 Reasons to Choose Silk Wedding Flowers Over Fresh

Silk wedding flowers triumph over fresh flowers when comparing cost, convenience, and sustainability


@celestialphotography865

Something Borrowed Blooms has been helping couples save thousands of dollars on wedding flowers for over five years, serving over 15,000 weddings to date. We know what couples want and need in wedding flowers and understand how important it is to stay within budget. But it can often be hard to stick to when going with fresh flowers. And you might be left feeling like you’re settling when considering silk flower alternatives. But silk offers many benefits over fresh flowers - so settle no more! You can have it all with silk flowers. Here are the three main reasons to choose silk blooms over fresh; cost, convenience, and sustainability.

Cost

On average, Something Borrowed Blooms saves couples over 70% compared to a traditional florist. When looking at the cost for each item, the difference in price can make or break your ceremony and reception, not to mention your wallet! If you’re still wanting fresh florals, consider mixing in silk for the reception to save on cost.

An average wedding order with Something Borrowed Blooms is just around $500, compared to the national fresh flower average of $3,500. A bridal bouquet with a fresh florist can cost you anywhere between $175-$250, but with SBBlooms, you can rent the bridal bouquet of your dreams for only $65. With a price difference this major, it’s pretty hard to say no, especially when guests can rarely tell the difference!

Read our raving reviews here!


Convenience

Silk wedding flowers can also be more convenient than fresh flowers. The silk flower market is more predictable and reliable in terms of pricing, selection, and availability, meaning there are no day-of surprises. You may show your fresh florist inspiration photos and color palettes, but there's no guarantee you’ll receive exactly what you’ve envisioned. Our Brides appreciate the ability to see exactly what they’ll receive for their big day!

Want to see our blooms in person before placing your wedding order? Ordering a preview pack is a great way to see our blooms in person, get a feel for the colors, quality, and how they’ll fit into your vision. Our blooms stylists are also available to meet over a virtual call and help you style the wedding of your dreams with a live styling session.

Schedule a live styling session here!


Sustainability

When it comes to sustainability, silk flowers are the best option. For most weddings, flowers are used for a few hours before being thrown away. What a waste of beautiful flowers and money! Our bouquets are re-used multiple times, with our production team refreshing between each use, upwards of 26 times per year before being recycled, never thrown away.

At SBBlooms we are committed to reducing the average amount of waste with our products and packaging. We source packaging from Sustainable Forestry Initiative suppliers, which means our boxes are corrugated, 100% recyclable, and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.


With all of the reasons to go silk, why wouldn’t you go with the budget-friendly, stress-free, and renewable option for wedding flowers!?

The Ultimate Wedding Checklist

Check all things floral and decor off your to-do list with this planning guide from Something Borrowed Blooms

Here at Something Borrowed Blooms, we consider ourselves wedding flower experts. We help thousands of couples plan for stress-free and beautiful wedding flowers each year. And so, we’ve created the ultimate wedding flower checklist to help you too, as you plan for your special day!

Let’s Begin 

First things first, determine your wedding style! Are you traditional, modern, rustic, or bohemian? Do you have specific colors or flower varieties in mind? If you’re unsure, our Bloom Styler is the perfect tool to help get you started. By answering a few simple questions about your wedding, the bloom styler will match you to a collection and even calculate the number of flowers and products needed to create the wedding of your dreams… all the hard work is done for you!

Once you’ve decided on a style and a floral collection, you’re ready to move on to the details.


The Details

Start by making a list of all the personal and wedding party flowers needed for your special day. Don’t forget to recognize family on your special day, after all, they’ve been there since the very beginning. Here’s a quick checklist to ensure you’ve thought of everyone.

Within each group, there are some choices and considerations to be made. For example, your Bridesmaids, do you want full-size florals or something understated? For full florals, choose bridesmaid bouquets or for something more understated, consider using posies for your bridesmaids. For the mothers, we recommend a posy for a more modern look, but some mothers prefer a traditional floral corsage which is always a safe choice. Give your mothers a choice to see what they would prefer! For the Flower Girl(s), consider their age when making a floral selection. Under two years old may do best with a floral crown. Two to five year olds do best holding the pomander ball down the aisle. Anyone five or older, you may consider a posy. And how could we forget your fur babies? Dress your pup in lavish florals with our adjustable dog collars.

The best part about renting with Something Borrowed Blooms is the ability to get creative and mix and match products from different collections. For example, if you want to have a pop of color in your Bridal bouquet but want something more neutral for your bridesmaids, order a Millie Bridal Bouquet for yourself and Audrey Bridesmaid Bouquets for your girl gang. Want something smaller for both you and your party? Opt to hold a bridesmaid bouquet and rent posies for your bridesmaids. Your groom and his guys can sport matching boutonnieres to perfectly coordinate with your florals. 

Wedding party – Check! 


The Setting

Creating a gorgeous ceremony and reception setting has never been easier or more cost-effective. Start with your altar decor, are you getting married under an arch, gazebo, or do you have to create your altar setting from scratch? Our custom garlands are gorgeous, easy to install, and versatile so you can use them for both your ceremony and reception. Easily attach the garland with zip-ties and assign a person after the ceremony to clip the ties and move it to the reception. Lay it on your sweetheart table, add some candlesticks or lanterns, and you’re done. Rent centerpieces for the dining tables and add decor elements for a finishing touch.

Using four grand centerpieces with two tall and two short stands can create a stunning dimensional look, with you and your fiance saying ‘I do’ as the focal point. Move the tall centerpieces to the entrance of the reception as welcoming arrangements, and the short centerpieces on your dining tables for an elevated look.

Consider other areas of the reception that may need florals, such as the welcome signs, gift table or bar. If you’re having a cocktail reception ahead of the reception, you may want to include small centerpieces, candles or lanterns for that space as well. See a full list of areas to consider for your ceremony or reception here. 


Ceremony and reception - Double check!



If you’re still unsure of what you need or you’re just looking for some reassurance, lucky for you our talented team of floral experts are here to help every step of the way. Schedule a FREE LIVE styling session with one of our floral stylists to see our products virtually, receive one-on-one advice, and the best tips and tricks for your special day.

Happy Wedding Planning!
