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!

I have a soft spot for the winter months. I love the magic of snowfall, the unique grey lighting, the opportunities for getting ultra cozy, all of it. The PNW looks amazing in all seasons! These two were game to participate in this gorgeous winter shoot, staying warm with a fluffy capelet and snuggling each other. I love the way these photos turned out!

A flowery extravaganza, a dress and tiara fit for a princess, a glamorous purple color palette, and a stunning Old-World venue combine for a magical fairyland feel. A flower-heavy arch meant to mimic the door to a secret garden was the star of the show (besides the couple of course!) and was literally dripping with greenery. The scent of all of these flowers was just heavenly, and their beauty was perfectly captured by B Jones Photo.

This venue is just fantastic. Barn setting that is decorated inside in such a way that if you didn’t know it was a barn, you wouldn’t be able to tell. Creekside is named such because it is literally right next to a beautiful flowing water source. The towering trees, ferns, and welcoming atmosphere is the best. R + A chose a deep-toned, nuanced color palette with lots of texture, and a massive garland to wrap around the on-site arbor. Chef’s kiss.

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!

Only the best things to say about these two and this day! A gorgeous venue, a perfect early October day (75 degrees!!), multi-faceted color palette, dream couple and epic vendor team! It’s hard to describe the feeling you get as a vendor when all aspects of the day come together, all the vendors are working as a well-oiled machine to make dreams come true and help each other out, and the magic that’s being created. Being a part of a large team bringing your small part of the vision into the whole to design something unique and personal is magical.
