RBK Creations

Most of the time we work with colors like blue, light green, soft or dark purple, yellow and white. We don’t see much in terms of bright pink and bright orange. When we get a chance to work with bright colors it is a lot of fun and a nice change of pace. We recently finished up an order in tangelo (bright orange) and fuschia (bright pink). I think I was smiling the whole time I was making the bouquets. I kept saying, “I just love these colors together!” It even made all the little scraps of fabric in the garbage look cute.

This wedding took place just this last weekend! It was a busy RBK Creations wedding weekend! We wish you the best Emma and I hope the day was everything you hoped for and more! Now on to some photos of the bouquets/decor. Like the Key West order, we were able to create some new items and play around with the design a bit.

L-R: The bride bouquet, it ended up getting some feathers added. It was truly whimsical and beautiful!
The bridesmaid bouquet, focus was on the pink.
The Jr. Bridesmaid Bouquet with a focus on orange.

We made 150 custom magnets. I think they turned out very cute!

On this order, we also mixed the materials used. While the bride and bridesmaid bouquets were satin, a few other pieces were felt.
This is the toss bouquet, the two flower girl bouquets were also made in felt. Once again, I can’t get over how cute the colors are together!

This is another great item we were able to create for her wedding. (Sorry for the bad photo, it is the only one I got of the bowtie and it is with my camera phone)
She wanted a pink bow tie for her father, but was unable to find one that matched the other items in her wedding. I was able to use the same satin from the bouquets for this bow tie.
It is a real bow tie, not a clip on or a pre-tied one. The bow tie was made by one of my co-workers, Erin. She has her own shop on Etsy, check it out, aBeachBreeze

I have become a very big fan of the pomander (kissing ball). They are so cute! These pomanders were used for aisle decoration at the ceremony.
They were then used as centerpieces for the cocktail hour tables. The pink/orange pomander was used at the kid’s table. Each pomander had button stems and some fun tulle accents.

It has been a very busy wedding month. Keep checking back for other June RBK Creation Brides! We will have some more orange bouquets, some yellow, a bunch of purple and lots more! To see the rest of the items from this wedding set, you can check out the flickr set here.

Recently, we finished a custom order for an early June Beach Wedding. We worked closely with the bride to customize each bouquet and piece of decor. There were so many new items we were able to design and kind of branch into.

I can definitely tell that the bride was a creative person. Her ideas for her wedding were truly inspiring. I don’t think my creative brain has ever had that much to process, (which is a good thing)! I was always thinking of different elements to add or ways to create each piece. I was able to expand the RBK Creations product line which is really exciting.

All the work is done, the setup in Key West has started and the wedding takes place tomorrow. With that being said, I would like to share some of the great beach wedding items with you. The colors are definitely beach-y and I love each piece. Be prepared for tons of photos!

 Here is the Bride’s Bouquet. Look at all that beach-y button goodness! We have been calling it the Sea-Daisy bouquet. A fun mix of sea creatures, shells and a feminine touch of the ivory daisies.

I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with these organza aisle markers. This was one of the new items I was able to make for the order. I absolutely love how they turned out but they did take quite awhile to make. It may be more of a hate relationship toward hot glue guns and not so much the organza poofs. These will be placed on the ends of the chairs, down the aisle. The organza will flow in the breeze and it will be perfect! There are also mini versions that will hang from an arch. I can’t wait to see them ‘in action’.

We kind of did a mix and matched set of bouquets for the bridal party. I love that we were able to make it all work together and be able to incorporate a little bit of everything that we do! We were able to get the colors of all materials to go together perfectly, which was on concern of getting it all to match. The 3 bridesmaids will have these felt bouquets. Which also include some great buttons. These seahorse buttons were a big hit! They ended up being the perfect color and we were able to get enough for all the pieces!

This bouquet is for the Matron of Honor. She really liked the organza used in other elements so we did an organza bouquet. The colors of everything really help pull it together!

This is the full set of the bride’s side of the wedding party.

Here is the last photo for now. This is one of the groomsman boutonnieres. Those little leaves are so cute!

I can’t wait to see how everything comes together tomorrow! Holly, we wish you both the best! You guys have been the best to work with and I hope the day is everything and more! You both deserve it.

It is fun to see all of the creative color combinations our brides use for their big day. We tend to get a lot of the same color orders at a time. We see the color trends that the rest of the industry goes through. There are a few felt orders we are working on right now. The studio is a rainbow of colors. Check out a sample of each color combination for our upcoming Fall Brides!

This is a great mix of Red, Aqua and White. This aqua color is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!

A great peacock themed wedding! Mix of blues and lime green. Can’t wait to show you the rest of these bouquets.

I love Fall. And these colors really bring out the fall feeling!

Purple and Teal for our super sweet local bride!

And this fun Spring Green and Dark Brown. There are tons of fun vintage buttons on this bouquet!

I am very excited to announce that RBK Creations can be found in the latest issue of BRIDES Magazine (June 2010 Issue).

We sent in some bouquets back in February. It was a long wait to be able to announce this to everyone! We are so honored to be featured and with other great alternative bridal bouquet creators.

The bouquet in the magazine is the Purple Passion Bridesmaid Bouquet size. This bouquet actually sold a few weeks ago. Even though it sold, it can still be recreated. It can also be made in ANY color combination. It was one bouquet in a series of candy themed bouquets. There was a bright pink, red, citrus colors and then the purple.

The layout can be found on pages 214-215. Make sure to pick up a copy of the magazine and check out our shop!

I am so excited to announce that RBK Creations is in the Summer 2010 Get Married Magazine (page 23)! I have been waiting to tell you all about it!

The Tickled Pink and Black Satin Button Bouquet shares the Alice in Wonderland themed page with some amazing artists! I mean really, check out that amazing cake by Cake Nouveau! We have even worked with a bride who had a pair of the Vivienne Westwood shoes seen in the photo below!  The bouquet is a perfect fit.

It was a quick scan but I was so excited that I posted it anyway! The issue hit the shelf today, however, it was out early at Target. So I made sure I had my hands on it right away. Make sure you go and check out all of these vendors/artists and of course go pick up a copy of the magazine. It is jammed packed with amazing cakes, dresses, flowers, you name it!

Go get your copy! Get Married Summer 2010
