Most of the planning meetings with Kate and AJ were spent laughing. These two love life and love to have fun… their wedding was just an extension of this. Hosted at the beautiful Bloedel Reserve, this wedding combined classic timeless detailing along with some modern touches. Lush flowers were abundantly infused throughout the entire celebration- which was a challenge to keep fresh in the hot direct sunlight! It was a beautiful celebration and such a fun party to watch unfold.

I’ve orchestrated a lot of weddings on waterfront properties, but never before had I created a wedding directly in the sand. I underestimated the challenges of walking through the sand, the power of the wind and just how high the rising tide could come. We took all of these things into consideration while planning, and thought we were prepared for worst case scenarios… but the day of the wedding it stormed more powerfully than anyone anticipated. It was a challenging day to overcome the obstacles that were presented to us, but we prevailed and over-came and produced a wedding we’ll always remember.

This client described her wedding vision to me as vintage Moby Dick, with a side of old Hollywood glamour. Defining what that really meant and the designing the perfect details to bring the vision to life was such a fun task. Looking back, I think the stormy day added to the beautiful ambience and helped to create the perfect finishing touch to this wedding. Things have a way of always working out exactly how they are supposed to go.

The Corson Building  has always been a favorite venue for me.  I love how it feels like a magical spot in Italy, yet it is just minutes from downtown Seattle. It is such a gem. When Anbrit and Jon, a witty, sophisticated and thoughtful couple who love good food, chose this as their venue, I was thrilled to say the least. With the help of ABC Rentals, we tented the gravel alley between the venue and an apartment building and set up a long and narrow table for all 100 guests to sit and dine at.  With the O’Malleys as the photographers and Tallant House creating the desserts, it was the perfect recipe for a dream wedding.  Vibrant summer peaches, fragrant  garden roses, rustic loaves of bread, candles in crystal candlesticks (not to mention a lamb from a local petting zoo that I adorned with flowers) were the finishing touches that made this one of our weddings I’ll never forget.

 

A huge thank you to my good friends Nancy from Oak and the Owl and Melanie from Melanie Benson Floral Design for assisting me with the flower arrangements for this wedding!  We created so many centerpieces that week, and I couldn’t have done it by myself!  Thankful for friends who are always willing to step in and be part of our events.
