Gracie and Jessica

Joy. Joy is the only way to describe Gracie and Jessica’s wedding day. I have never felt so much happiness, love and joy radiating from a couple and loved ones. For G+J we blended shades of berry, orange, peach and pink together to create a colorful sunset palette. Their July wedding blessed us with some of the most amazing seasonal flowers including: Dahlias, Lisianthus, Cosmos, Mums, Gladiolas, Snap Dragons and Sweet Peas.

Laura + Nick

Photographer: South of Indigo

Venue: Salish Lodge

Planner: Jubilee Events

Laura and Nick’s modern boho wedding is one of my favorites of 2021. For their wedding we blended roses, grasses and palms, dahlias and some and other fun dried elements. The “tangerine and terracotta” color palette was a fun break from the muted sunset tones we are so accustomed to this last year. Laura and I worked together to create a unique style of elevated arrangements for their centerpieces that turned out so fun. Take a peak at the gorgeous photos from South of Indigo Photography.

Congrats you two! the Thank you for working with me!

Krista + Bryce

Admiral’s House Wedding | Seattle

Krista and Bryce’s Admiral House wedding was a romantic Summer affair with blooms to match. We added in a pop of berry to make their flowers stand out against the traditional blush and white we are accustomed to, and I am so glad we took that leap. Fluffy Dahlias, Garden Roses, and Lisianthus paired with dainty Cosmos and Scabiosa made their centerpieces and bouquets some of my favorite of the year. Working alongside my close friend Melissa of Bright Side Events made this wedding extra special and fun.

Check out the AMAZING photos from Rachel B. photo. Working with her on this wedding is what sealed the deal for me, and I chose her as our photographer for my own upcoming wedding.

Thank you Krista and Bryce!

Alex + Matt

Bold Fall Wedding | Monroe

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!

Jordyn + Jeff

Venue: 1927 Events

Photographer: Andrea Sassenrath Photography

Floral Design: Rusted Vase Floral Co.

 

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!

Megan + John

Date: July 3, 2017

Location: The Foundry by Herban Feast, Seattle, WA

Planner: Molly Corr of Bridal Bliss

Photographer: Matthew Land Photography

Floral Design: Rusted Vase Floral Co.

Hair & Makeup: Belle Marie Salon

Catering: Herban Feast

DJ: Otto Matic

Rentals: CORT & Vintage Ambiance

Cake: The Sweet Side

Megan & John's wedding was the perfect "Seattle" wedding. Rooftop first looks at the Thompson Hotel, bridal party photos in Pioneer Square, followed by a reception at one of Seattle's top wedding venues, The Foundry by Herban Feast.

When Molly of Bridal Bliss reached out to me about Megan and John's florals, she described the day as "romantic and classic with a nod to the South". My DREAM client. Megan is originally from Georgia, so we thought it would be fun to incorporate some peaches in to the head table decor with just a "pop" of peach in all of the arrangements. 

Megan and John's day turned out to be one of my absolute favorites of the year. A beautiful combination of classic and romantic with a modern and natural twist. Matthew Land Photography captured everything beautifully. When I opened their gallery for the first time I squealed, (literally). Thank you Matthew Land, your work is STUNNING!

Take a peek for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
