This was a small but really special silk flower order for a winter elopement in Algonquin Park. The couple wanted a simple, natural floral look featuring lavender, white and soft greenery, so I created a bridal bouquet and boutonniere for them to take along for their elopement.
Because they were travelling to Algonquin Park for their wedding, keeping the flowers simple and easy to transport was important. The couple picked up their order on their way to the park, so there was no need to coordinate a florist delivery or worry about finding flowers once they arrived. The silk flowers were ready to go and could travel with them without needing water or any special care.
Winter weddings and elopements are one of the times when silk flowers can be especially practical. There are fewer fresh flower options available locally during the off-season, and transporting fresh flowers in winter can come with its own challenges. With silk flowers, the couple didn't have to worry about the cold, the flowers freezing during travel or whether their preferred flowers would be available in the middle of winter.
I loved the simplicity of this order. A bridal bouquet and boutonniere were all they needed to have beautiful flowers with them for their elopement, and the lavender, white and greenery colour palette felt perfectly suited to a quiet winter wedding surrounded by the natural beauty of Algonquin Park.
