MODERN LUXE

We couldn’t have come up with a better name for this stunning lineup if we tried! Revelry styled our modern and elegant WTOO Collection with their beautiful shades of Dessert Rose, Rose Quartz, and Cinnamon Rose. We’ve noticed our Pinterest feed overflowing with different colored bridesmaid dresses and we're especially loving this trendy ombre look. The dimension and tones of the satin gowns allow the florals to speak for themselves. 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.

DREAMY AND ROMANTIC

We’re getting all the fairytale wedding vibes from this gorgeous pairing! Revelry’s French Blue tulle dresses with our garden-inspired Millie Collection is a match made in Heaven, not to mention perfect for any Spring or Summer wedding. Want your Bridal bouquet to be your ‘Something Blue’? Have your bridesmaids hold the Audrey bridesmaid bouquets while walking down the aisle for an all-white look. We LOVE when brides mix and match collections to achieve their desired aesthetic.

WARM VELVET

We’re obsessing over the rich and velvety bridesmaid dresses Revelry offers, worn best in the colder months of fall and winter. Our all green Laurel Collection is stunning with any of Revelry’s velvet dress colors but we’re swooning over Romantic Rose and Emerald. If you’re looking to pair your velvet gowns with more flowers instead of greenery, the Taylor collection has a muted and modern color palette that’s perfect for any season. Looking for deep, moody, and romantic vibes? Look no further than the Stella Collection. Complete with marsala tones lightened up with shades of pale pink and grey to create a sensual, stunning look and an excellent choice for winter!

Whether you’re imagining a traditional formal affair or an intimate backyard wedding, Revelry has on-trend bridesmaid dresses in every color, fabric, and style you can imagine. The best part? There are endless possibilities when it comes to matching them with our premium silk wedding flowers!

Save hundreds by repurposing ceremony decorations for your reception

You’ve planned out the decor and flower arrangements for your wedding ceremony to a tee when you’ve suddenly realized you have a whole other event to decorate for; your reception! The price of decor quickly starts to rise as you finalize your table count and other areas like your welcome sign, cake table, and sign-in table. But decorating for your reception doesn't have to overextend your budget. Keep reading to find out how you can transform your reception by repurposing your ceremony decorations. 

GRAND CENTERPIECES

We recently released grand centerpieces, which are just as grand as the name. These extra-large centerpieces make a BIG statement at the ceremony and reception. We’re full of excitement over these new centerpieces, so we’re overflowing with inspiration on how to elevate your ceremony and reception space, saving major dollars when compared to fresh floral centerpieces of the same size. 

These large centerpieces can be paired with our centerpiece stands for added height and impact. Stands are rented in two colors, gold and pewter, and two heights, 45” and 29.5”. Pair a stand and grand centerpiece together for the focal point or alter at your ceremony space and later move the display over to your buffet table at the reception. Not having a buffet-style reception? No problem. Repurposing your grand centerpieces at the head table or family of the bride and groom can be another way to pull double duty on these lovely flowers. Depending on the style and theme of your wedding, you may also choose to forgo a traditional stand and place these voluptuous centerpieces on top of wine barrels, as suggested by our SBBlooms Brides. 

BRIDESMAID BOUQUETS

We LOVE when our brides repurpose bridesmaid bouquets for the reception. Save money on centerpieces by using the bouquets for your tables. Purchasing some budget-friendly vases and placing them on tables or areas where you need extra blooms, is a great way to save money, and reduce the number of products you use during your wedding. Pictured below, an SBBlooms Bride got creative and lined her Taylor bridesmaid bouquets in front of the wedding party table. Another bride showcased her gorgeous Audrey Hand-tied Bridal bouquet as a focal point for her seating placement cards. 

Placing your bridesmaid bouquets around your cake table is also a great way to maximize your floral budget! Right after the ceremony, have your bridesmaids drop their bridesmaid bouquets off at the cake table. Arrange the bouquets in a semi-circle around the cake to create a lush floral arch. Read more on how to enhance your cake table decor here.

SBBlooms Tip: For collections with flat-backs, add a couple of posies to make the back look fuller. 

AISLE MARKERS

Aisle markers are one of our favorite products to decorate with because the possibilities are endless! These beautiful arrangements are so versatile and we have so many tips and tricks up our sleeves when it comes to decorating with them. Use the aisle markers to drape on the edge of your ceremony chairs or pews to line the aisle. You can also add to your arch by combining two or three together to create a swag element on one side. Move this arrangement to your welcome sign walking into the reception area.

Don’t be afraid to use our products in more ways than one! We love when our couples get creative and find ways to utilize our products other than their original purpose. Also to mention by doing this, you can save hundreds and you’ll have less cleanup to worry about at the end of the night. We hope we’ve inspired you to get crafty and think outside the box when it comes to your wedding decorations.

Something Borrowed Blooms’ Founders Share Exciting News on the Future!

 Something Borrowed Blooms Co-Founder & CEO, Lauren Bercier

It’s not often that we share business updates on the blog, but this news calls for all the spotlight because it’s GOOD and we couldn’t be more proud. New and exciting things are happening at Something Borrowed Blooms. We just completed our Series A Fundraising with a $1.5 million investment from a Venture Capital partner. Why? Because they believe that the future of the wedding flower industry is Something Borrowed Blooms - and so do we!

To date, we’ve served over 13,000 couples across the US and Canada with our rent and return silk wedding flowers. We founded Something Borrowed Blooms with cost savings in mind, but immediately saw a need to modernize the industry in a technical way by offering a stress-free and transparent eCommerce solution for wedding flowers. In doing so, we've created a business model that's truly unique, providing so much value to today’s modern couples looking for more sustainable and eco-friendly options for the wedding day. But this is just the beginning of the journey for Something Borrowed Blooms, because there’s still so much more to offer the industry that’s bound by tradition.

Each handwritten thank you note, online review, referral and tag motivates us to work harder to share our brand with more couples; providing affordable, sustainable and stress-free wedding flowers all over the US & Canada and beyond! With more capital and a stronger network we will continue to grow, expand, and most importantly - innovate!

We're excited for the future and we think you will be too. We'll soon be expanding our headquarters in Lafayette, LA, adding new product lines and services, and enhancing our online features, making the Something Borrowed Blooms shopping experience even better than today!

 Something Borrowed Blooms Founders, Laken Swan & Lauren Bercier

To our lovely past Brides, our new customers anxiously awaiting the wedding day, and those of you just in the market and exploring all your options - THANK YOU for supporting Something Borrowed Blooms.

XOXO,

Lauren and Laken

Top 3 Reason to go Faux 

When it comes to planning your special day, wedding flowers are usually a high priority on your to-do list. With this, you’ll be faced with options - Fresh or Faux, each with pros and cons. Fresh flowers are a timeless choice, but anything but cost-efficient. If you’re open to other alternatives for floral arrangements, we’re here to tell you premium silk is the way to go! There are so many benefits to renting premium silk florals with Something Borrowed Blooms.

COST

The first thing to consider when choosing your wedding flowers is the cost. If you’ve begun researching and receiving quotes from fresh florists in your area, chances are the price point has caused your heart to skip a beat, and not in a good way! As much as we all love extravagant fresh floral installs and bouquets, the price of these arrangements may seem impossible to fit within your budget.

Something Borrowed Blooms saves couples over seventy percent of the traditional cost of real wedding flowers. To put this into perspective, if you go with a fresh florist, you’re looking at paying around $60-$65 for each bridesmaid bouquet. Depending on how many bridesmaids you have, that can cost you a pretty penny. You can RENT your bridesmaid bouquets for $32 each with SBBlooms. A real bridal bouquet will put you at around $175-$250, when you can rent a stunning premium silk bridal bouquet, for $65. Want to keep your bridal bouquet forever and ever? Purchase your bridal bouquet and receive it never before used, just for you!

SUSTAINABILITY 

Not only does Something Borrowed Blooms beat the price of fresh florals, we also prioritize sustainability as one of our core values. By renting your wedding flowers and decor products with SBBlooms you’re not only saving thousands of dollars, but you’re also reducing the carbon footprint on Mother Earth. 

Our reduce, reuse, and recycle business model allows us to repurpose and rent out floral arrangements a number of times before being recycled. With our wide variety of decor products such as lanterns, candlesticks, and decorative jugs, you don't have to worry about the aftermath of wondering what to do with one-time use decor after the wedding day. Use them for your event and send them right back to us for the next couple to use. We also source our packaging from SFI Certified suppliers. What does this mean exactly? Our boxes are corrugated, 100% recyclable, and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So you can be a budget-savvy and eco-friendly bride!

CONVENIENCE

Let’s be real, the luxury of knowing exactly what you get is rarely achieved with fresh florists. You can provide countless inspirational photos but end up with something different on your wedding day due to supplier availability. Dodge that risk with silk flowers and know exactly what you’ll be walking down the aisle with - no surprises! With our user-friendly website, each product comes as it’s photographed. With 16 premium silk floral collections, you’re bound to find one that fits your wedding vision! 

Need help finding your wedding flowers? With our Blooms Styler quiz, you’ll be matched with the wedding flowers of your dreams by answering a few simple questions. The end of the quiz will curate an order of blooms ready to add to your cart. Need to make edits to your order? No problem! You can edit your order within your customer portal. If edits need to be made within 30 days of your event, please contact customer service for assistance.

We hope we’ve helped steer you in the right direction to make the best wedding floral decision for your special day. If you're still not convinced, see what our past SBBlooms Brides are saying about their rent and return experience.
