Throughout their college years, Cameron and Matthew were always friends in passing. Following college, the two were finally at a point in their lives where they decided to give love a shot. Fast-forward one year later, and the two said their "I do’s" at a gorgeous cathedral in the city of New Orleans accompanied by their closest family and friends.

Cameron shares all the details of planning her wedding flowers with Something Borrowed Blooms! 

Planning for wedding flowers doesn’t have to be stressful! As a former SBBlooms employee, Cameron knew the best option for sustainable, cost-efficient, and convenient wedding flowers was Something Borrowed Blooms. The first step to effortlessly beautiful wedding flowers? Seeing them in person! With our preview packs, couples can sample two products to view for a rental period of four days. 

“I ordered a sample bouquet to try out with my bridesmaid dress swatches and that further confirmed that the Millie collection and SBBlooms would be my floral choice. I simply went online, added everything to my cart, chose my wedding date, and paid my 50% deposit. It was so simple. I liked that I didn't have to coordinate multiple meetings with vendors and that everything was handled so effortlessly. I honestly can’t say how easy and stress-free it was for me!”

When The Millie Collection launched in October 2019, Cameron knew the soft blue and periwinkle flowers were the perfect fit for her whimsical wedding vision. The variety of delphinium, lilac, and effervescent butterfly hydrangea was everything she envisioned and more. She mixed in the all-white and timeless Audrey collection to compliment the lighter blooms in Millie.

“I always wanted dainty flowers and I love the color blue. I had been eyeing the collections for a while, and when this collection was being created, I knew this would be the one I'd use! The whispi-ness of the hydrangeas made them look so real and hydrangeas are also my favorite flowers so I couldn't pass it up. I did mix in a little bit of the Audrey Collection because I loved the classic white. It was such a sweet and whimsical mixture of flowers that really captured the romantic, garden-like vision I had.”

For the Bridal party, the bridesmaids wore pale blue dresses to compliment the periwinkle tones in the florals. An Audrey boutonniere for Matthew and Millie boutonniere (rose) for the groomsman was a great combination to distinguish the groom from his best men. Other important members of the family wore the Millie boutonniere (delphinium), all for a cohesive look.

For the ceremony, the couple used two Millie Grand centerpieces and pewter stands at the start of the aisle. Following the ceremony, these large floral arrangements were moved to the welcome table with a premium gold lantern and a Millie aisle marker to add ambiance to the space.

For the reception, repurposing the Millie bridesmaid bouquets around the cake was such a creative and easy way to enhance the tablescape. The couple used Millie garland attached to a gold hoop frame, creating the perfect photo-opp when it came to cutting the cake. Cameron also rented Audrey garland to drape on her bridal portrait for that timeless look she was going for.  

“Everything was absolutely perfect! It was so much fun creating my order and seeing my vision come to life as I added each piece to my cart and then it felt like Christmas morning when everything arrived! The quality and feel of the flowers are AMAZING and you will not feel like you've compromised on anything other than saving a ton of money! My guests kept telling me how beautiful all my décor and flowers were and I was so excited to share that it was from SBBlooms. Lauren & Laken have built an amazing company and their collections just keep getting better! I loved being an SBBlooms bride and highly recommend them to any other brides and brides-to-be that are considering using them as their floral vendor! Thanks for everything and for making my whimsical, secret garden vision come to life.”
