Elegant Fall Wedding

This past fall I got the pleasure of working with Carrie & Scott on their November wedding. It was held at the Pioneer Park Pavilion on Puyallup. It was a beautiful setting with a great industrial feel with the softness of the timber.

Carrie was my babysitter when I was a little girl! Crazy, but it was SO cool to be able to share their day with them and their family. Carrie wanted the dark fall colors, reds, purples, and oranges. I also incorporated the bountiful fall fruits (apples & pears) in the arrangements as well.

Thank you to the wonderful vendors as well. It was such a pleasure working with you all!

Summer wedding at Willows Lodge

This past August I had the pleasure of working with Derek & Sarah on their August wedding at Willows Lodge in Woodinville.

Sarah wanted a lot of color without going overboard so we went with white & green as her main colors then threw in pink, and teal as accents. I was a little worried how it was going to turn out but I feel we both got what we were looking for as an end result!

It was a beautifully HOT day, perfect for an outdoor ceremony!

Special thanks to the following vendors:

A look down the Aisle

Wedding aisles tend to be boring and not very creative. I get it,  why spend a lot of money for something that your guest are only going to to see for a short amount of time. But, if you have the means and funds to decorate the aisle then DO IT! It is where a majority of your pictures will be taken and the first thing your guest get to see.
Here are some fun ideas that change up the Traditional "aisle" that really make a bold statement without having to spend a lot of money.

This next one is SO fun. I love the bold statement of the one color...but have NO clue how they got the tulips to stick into the ground AND stay.

Tulip Aisle

You can see in this next starfish one that they made a boarder with small seashells. Awesome because you wouldn't have to clean up!!

Starfish Aisle

I love this next one...1. Because it's easy, cheap, and you can add an array of colors. 2. Because I do not like it when anyone other than the wedding party walks down the aisle. (It's pretty "do not enter" tape!)

Ribbon Aisle

Lanterns...enough said!

Lantern Aisle

These stump logs would also look great for a winter wedding. Indoors or out!

Enjoy!

Vintage Wedding

(Jess, if you are still stocking me this one if for you!)

1. SHUTTERS



2. LANTERNS

A Woodinville Wedding

Ryan and Lindsay were married on September 25, 2010 at the Hollywood School House in Woodinville, WA. It was a beautiful perfect indian summer day, which we were a bit worried about due to rain the week leading up. I had such a wonderful time working with Lindsay and her Mom on this wedding. Both were so relaxed and laid back it made my job that much eaiser.

Congratulations Ryan & Lindsay!
