The Planning:

When it came time to plan for wedding flowers, Samantha faced the classic dilemma of choosing between real and artificial flowers. The desire for budget-friendly and sustainable options led her to the Something Borrowed Blooms community. Joining the SBBlooms Insiders on Facebook gave Samantha a visual playground, helping her envision the perfect florals for her big day. The firsthand experiences shared by fellow couples, along with their stunning photos and raving reviews, played a pivotal role in Samantha's decision to opt for premium silk flowers from SBBlooms. The community's feedback on the lifelike appearance of the flowers sealed the deal!

The Blooms:

The Marlowe Collection, with its vibrant mix of light and deep purple hues and greenery, captured Samantha's heart. Inspired by the styled shoot, Samantha found the Marlowe Collection versatile and well-suited for her winter wedding—a perfect fit. Samantha walked down the aisle with the stunning Marlowe Bridal Bouquet (Blanc).

The bridesmaids wore chiffon dresses from Azazie in ‘Twilight,’ which paired seamlessly with the Marlowe Bridesmaid Bouquets. The groomsmen sported dark navy suits accented with Marlowe boutonnières. George wore a lighter shade of navy suit with the Marlowe Boutonnière (Blanc) to coordinate with this beautiful bride.

The Ceremony:

Samantha's venue, Canyonwood Ridge, set the stage for a breathtaking ceremony, allowing the florals to serve as accent pieces. Marlowe Aisle Markers lined the aisle as Samantha walked towards a stunning ceremony set-up with two Marlowe Grand Centerpieces on tall gold stands—an effortless set-up that makes for a stunning space to say your ‘I do’s.’ 

The Reception:

Keeping cost and sustainability in mind, Samantha repurposed all ceremony decor for the reception. She used her bridesmaid bouquets in large gold mint julep vases, purchased during Something Borrowed Blooms’ annual clearance sale, with a mix of Marlowe aisle markers and classic candlesticks for table variation. The Bridal Bouquet and Aisle Markers adorned the sweetheart table, while the grand centerpieces were staged at the table's base. The stunning mantle behind the couple was decorated with Marlowe garlands and premium gold candles for added ambiance.

The Review:

Samantha's wedding journey with SBBlooms was seamless! The convenience of shipping florals to any location, combined with the worry-free delivery, allowed Samantha to focus on celebrating her special day. Guests and admirers alike marveled at the beauty of the blooms, often surprised to learn they were artificial. Samantha's pride in her decision reflected the overall success of her SBBlooms experience—from product quality to the entire process.
