Ashley + Tyler

Right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic while most of our clients were postponing their weddings and we were feeling pretty bummed about missing out on an amazing wedding season we get a call from Ashley + Tyler and it completely made up for such a disappointing year. Their florist backed out at the last minute and they trusted us to quickly design and execute a wow of a wedding for them.

Although they couldn’t have a large wedding they didn’t want to sacrifice the dream wedding they had been planning. And it was exactly that, totally dreamy. From the fairytale aisle for their ceremony to the lush arch filled with greenery, pampas grass and blooms it was a show stopper. And let’s not forget about the dress change from the Bride and her gorgeous bouquet filled with the best garden roses from Grace Rose Farm.

The venue for the reception has high ceilings so we knew we needed to do some tall centerpieces mixed in with low moments to draw your eye up. And repurposing as much of the ceremony as possible was a must. We created a truly magical sweetheart table for the couple by reusing florals from the ceremony aisle and arch. We absolutely loved how it turned out!

And let’s not forget about the cake. Dripped in garden roses! I mean come on, it doesn’t get any better than that.

Fall Inspired Styled Shoot

I have been dreaming of a lush evergreen and gold photoshoot for over a year and finally I just went for it. It was with great hestitation, however, because this was going to be the first photoshoot I planned, styled and produced on my own. If you know me you know I have a history in experiential marketing and event planning, so it isn’t that crazy or outside of my comfort zone, it was just the first time I did it for my business. And, now that it happened AND it got published I am hooked haha. Let’s just say it won’t be the last time I do full design for a shoot or a wedding.

It all started because all of my shoots in the past have been spring/summer and I wanted to showcase something with a richer color palette that would translate to fall or winter. I knew I wanted to create a balance of rich dark green velvet linen with natural accents including walnut. And, I wanted a fireplace as the backdrop :) So, I scouted out locations and The Blaisdell did not disappoint.

The vendors I worked with were amazing, and I couldn’t have done it with out them. Especially Trish Burtzel of Trish Allison Photography! She is absolutely wonderful and so much fun to work with. Truly talented. Scroll down for a full list of the other vendors from the shoot.

Brown + Lee Wedding

When a bride comes to us and requests peonies we do a happy dance! Especially when it is peony season! So, when Kayla specifically said she wanted peonies in her bouquet we knew we were the perfect fit. It was a gorgeous day with an outdoor courtyard ceremony and gorgeous reception filled with gold geometric accents. The perfect balance of modern and timeless. First time working at the Van Dusen Mansion and it did not disappoint. Photos by Gina Ziedler Photography.
