To say I LOVE backyard weddings is an understatement. I attribute this to the fact that for the longest time, whenever I envisioned my own wedding, it was a backyard wedding. Early in high school I threw summer parties at the house I grew up in. The nostalgia of those celebrations combined with magical feeling...

Caroline and Peter were married at Parsons Garden in the Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle, followed by an intimate dinner reception in the penthouse at one of Seattle’s oldest fine-dining restaurants, Canlis. It was one of those pre-rain autumn days in Washington. The leaves had started to turn yellow and the sky was slightly overcast...

The best thing about being a wedding florist in Seattle is all the wonderful people I get to work with. I make this statement meaning both the folks in the wedding industry and, especially, the couples I design for. Both architects and designers, I connected with Aireen and Greg on a shared understanding and appreciation...

Jessica and Jose were married at one of my favorite weddings venues here in Washington state, Twin Willow Gardens. Everything about TWG is amazing – the gardens, the ceremony area, the tiny houses where couples get ready, and the shop with the antique firehouse doors.

Heather and David started planning their wedding in 2019 with the anticipation of tying the knot in the summer of 2020. But like so many...

On May 21, 2021 Kaytlyn and Ben were married at one of my favorite venues here in Washington: Twin Willow Gardens in Snohomish. Not only is TWG absolutely gorgeous – it’s a mix between a flower garden and enchanted forest – but it is owned by a fabulous wedding planner, Rebecca Grant of New Creations...

My first wedding of 2021 (my first wedding since the pandemic started), was with a wonderful couple named Catharin and Eric. They were married on May 8th at Block 41 in Seattle. Now wedding planning is a lot to take on in normal times, but during a pandemic it requires even more. Catharin and Eric...

One of the things I vowed last year was to be better at blogging. Back in Colorado with the craziness of wedding season, in addition to the other aspects of running a business, blogging had become a low priority…one that I rarely got around to. I even went an entire year without a single blog...
