Helpful tips to convince your loved one to go faux over fresh 

We know all too well the stress of planning a wedding. There are so many decisions to make and oftentimes many stakeholders. For many couples, parents and grandparents (sometimes footing the bill) want to provide say-so in major wedding decisions. Let’s imagine the wedding planning has commenced and you're faced with the tough decision of which wedding flower vendor to select. Although fresh flowers are the traditional selection, the budget or waste might not be something that feels right for you. And that’s OK!  Premium silk flowers are just as beautiful and provide so many advantages over fresh flowers. But if your family and friends have different options on fresh vs. faux,  how will you open the minds of your loved ones to what premium silk flowers have to offer?

A lot of people won’t believe it until they see it, but trust us when we say, our blooms are so close to the real deal that even wedding photographers and guests have a hard time believing our blooms don’t need to be kept from wilting. Just take a look at our real bride reviews! And there are many ways to introduce silk flowers to your family to increase their comfort level and support your decision to go faux.

Red and blush wedding flower inspiration, perfect for fall and winter weddings. 

Every so often, our team at Something Borrowed Blooms catches a strong desire to give a little extra love to a collection that may not be receiving the same attention as others. This time around, the beloved Kimpton collection was lucky enough to receive a much-needed makeover.

For this Something Borrowed Blooms original, updating a traditional color palette into a modern, romantic, rouge and blush wedding flower collection was just the inspiration we needed to get this fall/winter wedding season started!

Keep reading to find out all the new details of Kimptons NEW look.

The new and upgraded Kimpton Collection features the same rich red and pink color palette, perfect for the fall and winter months. This premium silk wedding flower collection is composed of lush burgundy hydrangea, red, pink, and two-toned spray roses. Complemented with magnolia leaves and an abundance of seeded eucalyptus, giving it a natural look.

With this refresh, we’ve decided to offer two styles of bridal bouquets. The Kimpton Bridal bouquet (round) is a traditional nosegay shape with added seeded eucalyptus. The Kimpton Bridal bouquet (cascading) is a true modern descending bridal bouquet, perfect for the bride looking for a dramatic overflowing bouquet of flowers.

Noteworthy Kimpton Collection product updates also include the Kimpton Bridesmaid bouquet, centerpiece, aisle marker, and posy. We’ve even added two NEW products to the collection - A delicate Kimpton floral hairpin and a second Kimpton garland, filled with lush magnolia leaves.

Kimpton can be paired with an array of beautiful colors, but our design team fell in love with pairing her with soft lace and blush for a truly romantic vibe. Colors such as soft champagne and blush from Revelry’s satin collection were an excellent choice for the bridesmaids. For the bride, the gorgeous Bradley gown from Watters. A slight mermaid-style gown accented with a lace bodice, crepe skirt, and button detail along the back.

For finishing touches, each model was styled in jewelry from our friends at Embark. Silver necklaces, bracelets, and earrings embellished with opal stones to enhance the overall color palette.

We hope you love our updated Kimpton Collection as much as we do! For more inspiration, browse our floral collections, and follow us on Instagram for real wedding inspiration.
