The Wedding Planners’ Gathering

I am passionate about teaching other people how we do what we do. I’ll never forget how lost I felt when I first started this company. Sometimes I would go to floral shops on Fridays to see if they were working on a wedding, hoping to get a look at their designs and how they prepared for a wedding. Looking back, those women probably thought it was so weird I would come by every week pretending to be shopping for flowers.

This week for Wedding Wednesday, we are showing two parts: I’ve collaged images from a real wedding in addition to including some behind the scenes images in our studio during preparation for the wedding. Hopefully this glimpse into studio production will help to show some of you how we work, how we build our centerpieces and how we set up the studio for efficiency. Pictures are worth more than a thousand words, and many of the studio images will teach you how we operate behind the scenes.

I love that people feel comfortable to ask questions. I try to respond to as many people as I can, but unfortunately there are more questions than I have time to answer. I know not everyone has the resources to attend the spring workshops that we offer, I realized this as I read the stories that many of you sent me when you applied for scholarships.  Everyone should be able to learn their passion and follow their dreams. I have a strong desire to make learning accessible. That is why I am participating in The Wedding Planners’ Gathering.

A highlight of our past wedding season was when we had the opportunity to work at the historic Admiral’s House along with one of the most talented photographers in the wedding industry, Erich McVey.  This bride and groom were a joy to work with, and trusted us to create a wedding for them that was garden-lush and classically romantic. It was a perfect Seattle day, and a wedding that will remain a favorite of mine for a long time to come.
