Alex + Anna

Alex and Anna’s Whidbey Island elopement was so magical and intimate. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Alex and Anna said “I Do” at The Inn at Langley followed by an AirBnb dinner. Their wedding plans may have changed due to COVID, but they really did make the best of their special day. With each pivot and revision, Alex + Anna were so kind and gracious, and I couldn’t have been happier to design their flowers. We used a variety of dried and seasonal flowers to bring their wedding day to life. Thank you again for working with me!

When “golden hour” describes the whole day, you know it’s going to be good. Meghan + Alex’s elopement really is one of my favorites to date. The smiles, gorgeous lighting and love radiating from these two is beyond beautiful. Thank you Breanna for these photos!

Lauren + Alan

Lauren and Alan’s Artist Point elopement is one of my favorites this year. Like many other couples, they were forced to downsize and replan their wedding day, but that didn’t stop them from having the best time. The snow melt is way behind schedule this year, so they were greeted with a Christmas in July elopement! Such a sweet and down to earth couple, I feel lucky to have worked with them. Check out the photos from Nick Plus Danee below!

Sara + Jace

Sara and Jace wanted a laid back and FUN wedding, and they had just that. Pizza, dancing, a motorcycle… YES! They rode off on a motorcycle and all of the sweet moments in between. I loved being able to design bouquets and boutonnieres for their special day. Whit Mcguire captured everything so beautifully. Take a peek!

Alex + Matt

Early Fall weddings are some of my absolute favorites, and Alex and Matt’s is no exception. Dark moody colors, combined with vibrant Fall tones made their day unique and special. Alex described their vibe as “boho and a little witchy” — what more could you ask for just before Halloween? Local Dahlias, Amaranth, Chocolate Cosmos, dried Bracken Fern, Spiral Eucalyptus, Baccara Roses and Pampas Grass brought their wedding theme to life. Not to mention, the grounds at Pine Creek Nursery were filled with pumpkins, flowers and some AMAZING golden hour light captured by Kaitlin Evans!

Hannah + Alex

Hannah and Alex’s wedding will forever be a highlight of my career. When Hannah first reached out, she described their wedding as “Secret Garden In The City” a vibrant, flower focal wedding using Dutch still life paintings and China blue as inspiration.

For this wedding I sourced local and seasonal flowers as I usually do, but when I picked up my order I was surprised with off season tulips at Mayesh Seattle. My Dutch still life arrangements were complete.

Take a peek at the beautiful photos and the AMAZING vendor team below!

Jordan + Leor

Jordan and Leor’s wedding will forever hold a special place in my heart. Not only did they put thoughtful personal touches in to all of their details, but they were SO happy and loving on their wedding day, it is something I will never forget. Bridging the gap between a black tie affair in a rustic barn setting is no easy task, but these two hired one of the best vendor teams to bring their vision to life. Deep, moody colors accented with tons of candlelight and lots of greenery makes this one for the books.

Jess and Pablo, what can I say? They are two of the BEST people I have worked with. Down to earth, down to party and so, so in love. Their wedding will be at the top of my list forever. A romantic beach ceremony followed by an epic dinner and dance party for their closest friends and family. Not to mention, they hired one of the best vendor teams around. Check it out below!

Caitlin + Alexa

Caitlin + Alexa’s Ruby Beach vow renewal always brings a smile to my face. Captured flawlessly by Henry Tieu, I can’t think of a better way to describe their love than a direct quote from him: “The way they found each other, the way they keep on supporting one another, the way they raise their family together, they showed me that marriage is not all about the sunshine and rainbows but it’s all about how you can dream together and how you can support each other to get there.” a true testament to love, commitment and what marriage stands for.

Grateful for this day and the opportunity to design their flowers. Cheers to 100 more years of love and happiness! See more from their day below and the feature on June Bug Weddings

Chrissy + Bert

I met Chrissy at Roy Street Coffee in Capitol Hill a few months away from her wedding. She brought her Maid of Honor, Brittany along for support, and as soon as we started talking, I knew she was my type of bride! Sweet, funny, and down to earth. Chrissy & Bert were so easy to work with, we exchanged texts and emails over the next couple of months, and when their wedding day rolled around, I was SO excited to design their flowers! Their color palette was white and red. The red being for good luck.

Krista Welch of Krista Welch Creative took STUNNING photos, and I am so excited to share them with you!

Thank you Chrissy & Bert!

Fall in Love | Styled Shoot

It's my favorite time of year. Leaves are falling, pumpkin patches are over flowing, and the never ending season of hot coffee and scarves is upon us!  It is the perfect season for golden hour light, natural wind, and a romantic shoot in the great outdoors.

Erika of The Greatest Adventure Weddings and I put together a non-traditional pumpkin patch shoot with a really, really wonderful vendor team, and it turned out to be one of my favorite shoots of the year.

JB + SDP

A roof top courthouse ceremony followed by an intimate rehearsal dinner at Casco Antiguo started off Jesse and Sophia's epic wedding weekend. There are so many little details that made this my FAVORITE wedding of the year. Jesse and Sophia worked hard to bring their modern, artistic wedding to life. A stellar vendor team, hand painted artwork from the groom, unique decor touches (including a SUPER FUN photo booth back drop), and a custom made neon sign are just a few of the details that make this wedding so special. Thank you Jesse and Sophia for trusting me with your vision, and for letting me have so much artistic freedom with your florals.

There are a few times each wedding season that I meet a bride and instantly know that we are the perfect match. When I met Anna earlier this year, it was one of those encounters. I felt like we had been friends for years. When you pair that chemistry with an amazing vision and vendor team, it's likely that the wedding will be wonderful. Maroni meadows is tucked away on a quiet side road just above the Snohomish valley. It is a sweet backyard venue with just the right amount of decor. Lora Grady Photography blew me away with the photos, soft, romantic and beautiful. To see more of Lora's work and more from Anna & Mike's wedding, be sure to check out her blog here.

Boheme Bath Maternity Shoot

An opportunity to collaborate with local vendors for a "Milk Bath" shoot was on my long list of to-do's for this Spring. I could not have asked for a better team to work with. The end result truly blew me away.
