Wedding at the Fairmont Olympic: Lindsay & Erin

After a year and a half of wedding planning (thanks, pandemic!), Lindsay and Erin finally celebrated their wedding at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in grand style. This couple envisioned an elegant and softly traditional event, filled with flowers in shades of white, cream, and blush and lush garden greenery. For her bouquet, Lindsay opted for a modern ombre design of white and blush garden roses, sweet ranunculus and lisianthus, and soft pink larkspur. The groom and groomsmen in their black tuxes and bridesmaids in long pale silk gowns were elegance itself – just look at this beautiful wedding party!

A Romantic Ceremony in the Garden Room

The high ceilings and arched windows of the Fairmont Olympic’s Garden Room created a stunning backdrop for this wedding ceremony. And with such a grand backdrop, we knew we needed to create a ceremony arch worthy of such a space. The 12 foot tall tall lucite arch was topped with a bower of roses and soft greenery, and flanked on either side by large white urns filled with lush floral. Down the aisle, groupings of glass hurricane candles sparkled. A big shout-out to the team at Crimson Haze – their uplighting during the ceremony was the perfect finishing touch to send this ceremony over the top!

A Lavish Reception in the Spanish Ballroom

A stunning long head table surrounded by flowers anchored the reception space. A lush floral runner ran the length of the table and trailed off both ends. Creating a lovely backdrop behind the table, a set of four large white urns overflowed with flowers and greenery. The white tiered wedding cake, decorated with a cascade of blush and white roses and green leaves sat on its own round table, draped in gold linen. And throughout the room, round dinner tables featured a mix of low floral arrangements in gold compotes and towering tall arrangements set on fluted crystal vases.

Brittany and Alvin’s Elegant Arctic Club Wedding

Brittany and Alvin celebrated their oh-so elegant and romantic wedding at the iconic Dome Room at the Arctic Club Hotel in Seattle this past September. This gorgeous wedding was designed and produced in coordination with the fabulous team at New Creations Weddings.

The historic Dome Room was the perfect fit for this couple’s timeless, super-elegant style and their rich color palette of deep reds and navy blue with accents of blush, gold, and lush sage greens looked so classy there.

We used dahlias, roses, scabiosa, and anemones in rich burgundy, mixed with sage colors of eucalyptus greens, and blush tones. We created lush garden style arrangements in gold colored compote vases. The designs looked rich and vibrant on navy shantung linens, and paired with the gold vases and candle holders the look was so classy!

Beautiful Indian Wedding at Kiana Lodge

Anita and Ab were so lovely and certainly are not afraid of bold, bright colors! For their late spring Indian wedding we were able to include some of our favorite flowers, peonies, ranunculus and poppies! What a stunning bouquet they made!

The weather was not quite cooperating – it drizzled all day out at Kiana Lodge – but how could you be upset about that with such a fun wedding party and those cheerful colors surrounding you. We love these images by the ever so fabulous Shane Macomber!! I am especially in love with the pictures of the couple holding fun umbrellas!!

For the ceremony we scattered a lush bed of thousands of rose petals and lined the aisle with beautiful urn arrangements. Along with the talented gals at Perfectly Posh Events we were able to create a wedding that is a brightly colored feast for your eyes! One of our favorites this past spring!!
