Andrea and Harbin
Oh where to start… Andrea and Harbin were one of my first 2020 reschedules, and they experienced all of the bumps Covid couples did. At the end of the day, these two just wanted to celebrate their love and be married, and they did just that. An intimate minimony and dinner with their immediate family. Some of my favorite images ever, thanks to Malorie Keourac and Andrea’s trust. I had so much fun helping shape their color palette and choosing seasonal flowers. A highlight of 2021.

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!

My Wedding! YAY! | Monroe, WA
It is a SURREAL feeling to be blogging my own wedding. Our day was pure magic, and truly the best Covid wedding imaginable.
We faced all of the challenges and disruptions you might expect for a 2020 couple. I am sure if I really thought about it, my list would be a mile long…. but here’s a brief look at just a few of our changes; we downsized by 150+ people, moved to my parents house, revised rentals, & design plans, created multiple guest lists, updated our color palette, changed photographers, the list goes on….! With all of that being said, the most important thing for us was to be married surrounded by our family and best friends, and we made it happen. We sure did miss some of our favorite humans, and hope to celebrate with everyone in the future!
Moral of our story, DO THE DAMN THING! We are SO SO SO happy that we exchanged vows and celebrated our love during this dark and emotional year.
Being a vendor, the questions I was asked most were “are you doing your own flowers?” and “how did you choose your vendors?”
The first question “are you doing your own flowers?” was a bit harder to answer (HA!) my answer was always the same, “yes and no”. It was really important to me that our flowers felt like me, and I couldn’t imagine not having my hands on a few things! However, I am not completely crazy, so it was crucial that day of I didn’t do anythinggggg. My incredible team (led by Eleanor of Bash & Bloom) did design work leading up to our day and also lead styling and set up. I had been hoarding dried elements for months, so many of our bud vase centerpieces and hanging installations had been done for weeks just waiting for their debut. Our table styling, arch and other elements are 100% the work of my EXTREMELY talented team. When I saw our arch, I squealed - it was perfect.
Choosing vendors was a no brainer! They are the people who have become my work family and who I have built strong relationships and friendships with over the last 5 years. Our styles, interests, outlook on life and businesses very much run the same course, and honestly our day would not have been the same without them. See our incredible vendor list below. With their help and ideas, our day was picture perfect.
A special shoutout to my parents who put so much work in to their backyard to turn it in to our venue! I love you, thank you will never be enough.
Take a look at our photos and details below.

Mountain Top Vow Renewal | Cle Elum, WA
The most magical 5 year vow renewal for my friends Henry and Viet. This day was perfect down to every last detail. Viet and Henry are a power couple and one of the most dynamic duos I know. Henry is a photographer @henrysdiary and Viet does styling and coordinating @rainandpines. There is so much I can say about this day, but I think pictures are worth a thousand words. Thank you for having me be a part of your special day.
