Spring Bridal Brunch with Blooming Branches

These photos are from a shoot that took place almost a year ago, but for some reason it never really made a proper appearance on the blog. Now that spring is almost here again, it is high time to share this beauty! Blooming branches, peonies, sweet peas.... spring is a VERY good time for flowers, and we are waiting with anticipation for these gorgeous blooms to come back into season- it won't be long now.

Be sure to check out the list of vendors at the bottom of the post, there were some great people involved in this shoot!

Amanda and Matt's Magical Forest Wedding

Nestled in the forest, at the foothills of the Cascades, Amanda and Matt chose an incredibly picturesque setting for their wedding. Amanda loves large, soft blooms and all shades of pink, so we combined these textures and tones with lots of green and a hint of burgundy to blend well with the surrounding forest. It was late June, and somehow, amazingly, all four of the "rockstar" flowers were blooming at the same time: peonies, ranunculas from Janet Foss (she had literally one bunch), garden roses from Peterkort, AND cafe au lait dahlias (the very first bunch of the year from Jello Mold Farm)! So Amanda's bouquet was the stuff of dreams- as soft, billowy, and romantic as it gets.

As usual, Jess Hunter knocked it out of the park with her unbelievably beautiful photography. There are a few non-flower portraits in this post that I had to include because they are just SO beautiful! Be sure to check out her website if you are not already familiar with her work.

Congratulations Amanda and Matt!

Featured on Magnolia Rouge

We loved creating the florals for this beautiful shoot, featured today on Magnolia Rouge. The shoot took place in late May, and we rounded up columbine, viburnum, red peonies, roses and spirea to make these wild, woodsy floral pieces. Full list of vendors at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

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.

Caitlin and Matthew

Caitlin and Matthew were married back in early June, at the South Lake Union Row Club. Caitlin's desires for her flowers were clear: She wanted them red, and she wanted them colorful. (You gotta love a girl who knows what she wants!) So I went to town with a deep, rich color palette of all the reds and deep purples I could find, and was delighted to see these lovely photos from Azzura Photography that capture all the beautiful (and red!) details from Caitlin and Matthew's special day. The delicious desserts were all made by The Troubadour Baker, who also happens to be the groom's brother (lucky, lucky!).

 

It must be noted that almost all of these flowers came from local growers! A huge thank you to all the amazing flower farmers at the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market who supplied me with these gorgeous blooms- I don't know what I'd do without you guys!

Many congratulations to Caitlin and Matthew!!! I wish you all the very best!!!
