C & J at The Sanctuary at Admiral

It is hard to choose a favorite out of all the beautiful weddings we did this year, but C & J's wedding at The Sanctuary at Admiral is certainly up there in the top three. Creamy neutrals against dark foliages with pops of rich reds and gold- the perfect palette for late autumn. It was one of the last weeks local dahlias were still available, and that made it all the more special. C & J are such sincere, true people, and it really felt like an honor to create these designs for their wedding. All of these gorgeous photographs were taken by the one and only Kirk Mastin. Congratulations C & J!

The Bloedel Reserve

Fernne noted that the greens were so bright they looked like gold...

Roger sited a Robert Frost poem:

"Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay."

Strolling around the woods with my in-laws-to-be. So inspired by them. Feeling so lucky. Surrounded by green and by gold.
