Michelle + Spencer

Michelle + Spencer are one of those couples, the ones you immediately click with, you quickly become friends and each others biggest fans. Their love story is so sweet and real. They are down to earth and goofy and because of this are surrounded by the best humans. I have never felt so welcomed by a group of groomsmen and bridesmaids. A day filled with laughter, jokes and smiles a mile wide. It was an honor to work alongside them and their other vendors to bring their moody PNW elopement to life. Complete with the best Fall foliage, florals and a few spooky details to match.

Andrew + Isabel

Andrew and Isabel’s Aster Butte elopement is the definition of EPIC. A hike through the North Cascades, followed by a sunset ceremony and overnight camping. The contrast of colors with the snow, bouquet, and colorful tents and gear makes these photos extra unique and beautiful. I am forever grateful that my bouquets get to trek to the tops of mountains. Congrats you two!

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!

Another amazing couple, adorable pups and some fun greenery ideas (as seen in Seattle Bride Magazine). Jordyn & Jeff were down to earth, funny as hell, and so in love. They also happened to be science enthusiasts, so we incorporated beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, dinosaurs and other gizmos & gadgets in to their decor. SO FUN! To date it is one of my favorite designs, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity I had to work with them.

Thanks you Jordyn & Jeff!

Chauanh + Gabriel

Date: August 12, 2017

Coordinator: Luma & Lavender

Photographer: Luma Weddings

Venue: Private Residence, Whidbey Island

Florals: Rusted Vase Floral Co.

Chauanh and Gabriel were married at a beautiful family home on Whidbey Island. The sun was shining and a light breeze rolled through the property, the perfect wedding weather! Family and bridal party members were bustling around, vendor teams were prepping food, folding napkins, and taking photos. It was laid back and intimate, one of my favorite wedding set ups! (Not to mention one of my favorite couples.)

I first met Chauanh & Gabriel at a coffee shop in Capitol Hill, they were silly, sweet, and so happy to be planning their wedding together. Their vision for florals was simple and lush, with a touch of the PNW beach. Gabriel's Dad built a custom driftwood arch for the ceremony that I wish I could have taken home with me, it was stunning! They fused together Vietnamese traditions with their romantic ceremony and reception, and everything went together beautifully!

One of the best details of the day was perhaps Chauanah's three dresses! One red, one white, one pink. Each representing a significant part of their cultures and commitment to one another.

Working alongside Haley & Kyle Goldie of Luma Weddings/Luma & Lavender is always fun and the images from Kyle are stunning! Take a peek below....!

Thanks Chauanh & Gabriel!
