Classic Northwest- Jamie and Weston at AXIS

There is so much beauty in our Northwest forests, and Jamie and Weston wanted that reflected in their flowers. They also wanted to stick to a fairly traditional color palette of white and green, so we spiced up the classic with lots of textures and northwest native foliage- maidenhair and sword ferns, snowberries, salal and huckleberry foliage all found their way into their bouquets and table designs. That combined with lots of Peterkort roses, gomphrena, scabiosa pods and more made for a beautiful, late season palette at one of my favorite downtown venues, AXIS Pioneer Square.

As always, it was a joy to work with Megan from Clutch Events on this wedding! She is just fantastic- if you are looking for a planner, check her out!

Molly Magee took all these beautiful photos.

Congrats Jamie and Weston!

Coogan and Chuck at Sodo Park

I've been trying to put together a "Year in Review," post for 2014, but it feels impossible to sum up the year- there is just way too much to try and squeeze into one post. Alas, I have decided to forgo the idea, and instead to finally blog one of my absolute favorite weddings from last year: Coogan and Chuck's gorgeous wedding at Sodo Park. All the best flowers of late July went into this wedding: cream and blush garden roses, TONS of clematis, my favorite, vintage-feeling hydrangea (called 'Quickfire')..... it was a good one. Sophisticated, elegant, romantic and whimsical all at the same time.

As always, it was a true pleasure to work with Megan from Clutch Events. All the unique furniture pieces came from Vintage Ambiance. And major thanks to Chantal Andrea for all these gorgeous photos! Congratulations Coogan and Chuck!

Jamie & Ryan at AXIS Pioneer Square

These two. Could they be in any way, even just a teeny, tiny bit more adorable?

Jamie and Ryan married in late June at AXIS Pioneer Square. Planned by Megan from Clutch Events, their wedding went off without a hitch! Jamie and Ryan love the outdoors, and have a special fondness for the Methow Valley, so we based the floral design choices around creating a palette reminiscent of that environment. Small, meadow-esque blooms were paired with a good number of grasses, and roses added a classic elegance, making the flowers look right at home in their urban venue. Color-wise we went for lots of greens and creamy neutrals, with accent of earthy brown, gold, and a hint of blue for that clear, blue sky! And since it was a fancy affair and we wanted to add a layer of warmth, we paired all of this with glimmering hints of brass. 

Many thanks to Shane Macomber for the incredibly beautiful photos.

Congratulations Jamie and Ryan!

Kaitlyn and Dave at Sodo Park

Kaitlyn and Dave were married at Sodo Park in late June of last year, and I am so happy to share these beautiful images of their wedding, courtesy of Lucas Mobley. White peonies and garden roses, dusty miller, olive foliage, lysimachia, and silver brunia topped the flower bill for this classic, urban celebration. Congratulations Kaitlyn and Dave!!!! I wish you all the best in your life together.
