I set up a booth at an awesome Seattle Wedding venue to meet new potential clients!

When planning flowers for an event, most people immediately think of little centerpieces in the middle of tables that people can eye while eating. Those are a staple at special events for a reason, and we we all love seeing them, but there is so much more that can be done with florals that might not initially come to mind. Event florals can transform your space. How so? The best way to answer that question is by figuring out what your theme is. Let’s dive in with some hypothe

Frenchie and Dan’s wedding encapsulated everything about the beautiful outdoors of the Pacific Northwest. They married near Gold Bar, Washington at a cute little inn, pretty far out in the secluded woods. And what would a PNW wedding be without rain? Lots and lots of rain. If you’re worried about that happening to you, read my recent article about how to plan for rain on your big day. More about the weather later. For the flowers, we used lots of warm, autumn colors. We live

We’re enjoying all the autumn vibes here in the PNW. And for Seattle, when there’s fall, there is usually some rain. If you’re planning a big event outdoors, the last thing you want to deal with is a soggy wedding dress, or soggy sandwiches at a work luncheon, or really soggy anything. Luckily, there are 3 things you can do to prepare for stormy weather and keep your guests happy and dry. Have an Indoor Space Available This seems like a no brainer, but in the frenzy of planni

Nisha and James were a special couple to work with, and not just because they were so lovely. Nisha lived in France while the wedding was being planned in Seattle where James lived. They both wanted to be involved, and we made it work, setting up video calls at times that worked in both time zones. It can be difficult when one of you is planning remotely, but I was impressed with how well they handled a tricky situation. Nisha wanted a neutral palate featuring whites and soft

Abbie and Colin were some of the sweetest people I’ve ever worked with, and I could tell at the first consultation that they would be a joy to work with. They had a few things in mind for their wedding vision, but were willing to imagine with me and let me paint the landscape of venue décor. When you hire a wedding professional, they can work with you to create something custom that hasn’t been done over and over, and something that works with your unique venue space. That’s

How do you make a holiday wedding not feel like you walked into the company Christmas party at Santa’s workshop? No disrespect to elves, but I went for fun and modern over highly traditional and couldn’t have been happier with the results. I did this by building upon the traditional imagery of the holidays. Instead of using only straight red, I highlighted with peaches and pinks, and even some golden yellow on the tables. I added blue privet berries for even more color, and b

Two lawyers walk into a room... a room with a perfect, Seattle-skyline view. April and Doug were both so kind and sweet to work and plan with. Their vision was to have a copper-pipe arbor and deck it out with vines and greenery. So that’s what we did. With a light and simple arbor frame, I used various greens, including some lovely hops vines. They draped across the top perfectly, almost creating a home-trellis feel. (Confession: I had never worked with hops before this weddi

When you have one family coming in strong from Texas and the other representing hard from Washington, it turns out you get an event to remember. Talking through the color plans with Cassie for her bouquet was a fun conversation. The wedding themes were based off the Texas and Washington state flags. So where did that leave her bouquet colors? Well Cassie loved red anemones—a fun change of pace, as white anemones are more commonly requested. But she wanted some blue, yellow an
