Alex + Anna
Whidbey Island Elopement | The Inn at Langley, WA
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!

The Little Blu Cabin | Mt. Rainier, WA
Annie and Wyatt’s Mt. Rainier elopement at the Little Blu Cabin was so wonderfully captured by Mollie of Between the Pine. You can feel the love from their photos. Planned and coordinated by Erika of The Greatest Adventure Weddings with hair and makeup by Angie Evans. Annie asked for a bright and colorful bouquet with fluffy blooms! I used local Peonies, Ranunculus, Snap Draogons, Geum, Stock and Deutzia to bring her vision to life. Cheers to colorful couples and blooms!

Hannah + Alex
A Secret Garden in the City | Seattle
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
Black Tie Affair | Pickering Barn, Issaquah
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.

Enna + Carl
A Romantic Affair at Newcastle Golf Club | Newcastle, WA
Enna and Carl are hands down the sweetest people I know. Their smiles and love for one another truly light up a room. Not to mention, their love for all things Disney. It was an honor to do their flowers and work alongside their carefully chosen vendor team. No detail was left out for their wedding (including that special pop of blue!). Beautiful calligraphy and signage, gorgeous photos, and a cake for the books! Thank you for working with me.

It's not often that when a photographer sends you "sneak peek" photos you cry and laugh and then cry and laugh some more. Lyynsey of Lion Lady Photography sent the best sneak peek album ever! I just couldn't wait! I had to share them.
I should start off by saying that Izzy + Porter were the greatest! The most laid back, care free, and silly couple to date. They trusted all of their vendors 100% and it was one of those creative freedom weddings where they just said "go with it!" The first time I met Izzy, she told me "Sorry Porter couldn't make it, he's playing D&D". I laughed and said "I like you guys already!" From there, Erika of The Greatest Adventure Weddings and I had a blast working on their design together.
A bright and cheery color palette mixed with a private waterfront venue made their day extra special. I even collaborated on their arbor with Izzy's Dad Dave. Their wedding is truly one for the books! See all of the magic below.
Thank you Izzy and Porter!

Jennifer and Dan's mountain elopement was a show stopper day, filled with love, tears and so much laughter. An amazing team was put together and magic truly happened. Erika of The Greatest Adventure curates some of the most amazing weddings and elopements, she has a knack for putting teams and couples together, and I am so grateful she recommended Jennifer and Dan to me.

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!

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.

If I could dream up my own wedding, it would be similar to Tessa & Evan's. Simple and sweet. Happy grins around every corner and the sweetest little details. While looking through their gallery, I teared up multiple times. Their wedding is the perfect mix of boho chic and PNW adventure. Not to mention an amazing color palette filled with warm, rich tones. The photos from Jacquelyn Portolese are INCREDIBLE. You can feel the love that Tessa, Evan and their families share, it is a really beautiful thing.

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.
