Anna and Brandon braved the same stormy weather that Brooke and Erik did, their elopement celebrations were on the same day! Luckily they had a great photo/elopement planning team that helped prepare them for the unexpected. They embraced it with joyful hearts and an adventurous spirit (you never know what weather you’re going to get in the North Cascades!) and ended up with a wonderful story to tell. These two were such a blast to work with and had so much trust in the creative process, with some fantastic ideas of their own: hat florals anyone?! A+B, big hugs from Washington, you’re awesome!

This extra special vow renewal celebration was held at the Saltbox Barn on Fir Island, a gorgeous converted barn in the heart of Skagit Valley. Every vendor involved here donated their time, talents, and materials via the Wish Upon A Wedding Foundation to help bring this vision to life. What a joy to be a part of something like that!

M+M! This fun, vibrant couple shared my love of the Pacific Northwest and FERNS, and requested lots and lots of them. Can do, my friends! Their venue is a gorgeous wooded and perfectly landscaped property just 15 minutes outside the city, full of lush plants and a peaceful feel without the long drive. The ferns fit right in among the towering trees. Their designs prioritized local blooms, included tons of dahlias, cosmos, roses and so much more. Their happy color palette set the tone for the killer party they threw for all their guests.

Some wedding days stick in my mind just a bit more than usual, and this is one of them. J+R approached their floral designs with such intentionality; everything was chosen for a specific and quantifiable reason. There was no feel of “checking things off a list” here, everything was intended to have a specific purpose and feeling. I found myself deeply inspired by these two and their journey.

The designs were magical, meaningful, and just a bit challenging; my FAVORITE kind! I grew “Diva” dahlias in my home garden just for them, as they were the absolute perfect choice for the color palette. Combine all this with an absolutely stellar vendor team with some of my industry friends and you’ve got a day for the books.

J+R, you’ve got a friend in Bellingham! Come visit any time.

Lush, colorful, elegant, wildflowers… you name it, this wedding HAD IT. All the personal touches and the joyful color palette was so true to them and felt so authentic. One of my favorite days at the classic Lairmont Manor. Don’t forget to check out PeeWee, the cutest little pup of honor!

Sherry and Brian are both fans of The Addams Family vibes an October wedding is great for, and wanted to incorporate this theme into their florals (but with their own special touch, of course!). We used black feathers, deep burgundy dahlias, black calla lilies, purple jewel-toned roses and carnations, monkey tail ferns and the most perfect blackberry sorbet scabiosas to round it all out. The result is something unexpected, completely unique, and totally Sherry and Brian. This day was chock-full of personal elements, read on to see them all!

Sierra and Daunique’s stunning wedding featured lots of PNW-inspired floral vibes with just a splash of tropical flair. Showcasing local dahlias from our outstanding flower farmers, stock flowers, specialty roses and anthuriums, this coral and peach toned palette fit in perfectly with their venue. These two were so fun to work with and trusted the floral process, something I am always endlessly thankful for!

A sunset ceremony on top of the mountain followed by dinner with their favorite people, and lanterns lighting their way home sounds like the perfect day to me! These two wanted clean, classic florals to complement their attire without overshadowing it, and local roses, veronicas, dahlias and fresh mixed greenery totally fit the bill. It was lovely to be a part of your day!
