An Evergreen Winter Wedding At Axis Pioneer Square

We are so very excited to be sharing this beautiful winter wedding on our blog this week! Delaney and Garrett’s romantic, candle-lit, evergreen winter wedding at Axis Pioneer Square was an affair to be remembered. And we loved the couple’s vision to use lots of winter greenery, just white floral, lots of candles, and fun forest textures. For the bouquets we used Panda anemones, white spray roses, white ranunculus, pine cones, eucalyptus pods, and various evergreens.

For Delaney and Garret’s wedding ceremony we sources lots of evergreen trees of various heights and styles. By grouping tem together they created a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony. Then we lined the aisle with lots of hurricane candles on beds of evergreen. And the ceiling sparkled in warm twinkle lights. It can’t be more romantic than that!

A Tropical Peach Wedding On Lake Washington

Richa and Anish’s tropical peach wedding on Lake Washington was another favorite of ours from the summer of 2023. We love a beautiful Indian wedding and this couple included quite a few pretty details that were so fun to design. Vessels spilling over with fresh floral, a tropical greenery wall, garlands with fresh peach flowers, and more. Richa in a beautiful peach colored saree and Anish in a deep green, embroidered traditional jacket – this couple looked truly stunning.

A Peach Lakefront Ceremony

For the outdoor ceremony on the large Hyatt Hotel patio we incorporated peach and white floral with tropical accents like large palm leaves and banana leaves. For this tropical peach wedding on Lake Washington we designed a wooden mandap with large color-blocked floral clusters featuring roses, dahlias, snapdragon, lisianthus, and stock in shades of peach and white. Large monstera leaves, palm, leaves, and banana leaves added that tropical touch the couple wanted to achieve.

A Tropical Reception

And look at their beautiful reception! For the stage we created a large tropical greenery wall that served as gorgeous backdrop. More floral waterfall vessels and lanterns decorated the stage which served as gorgeous focal point during the reception. The dinner tables were more simple, yet elegant in style: lots of bud vases and candles decorated some of the tables, while other tables were adorned with tropical floral centerpieces. Champagne linens and gold Chivari chairs completed the look.

A Sunny Seattle Spring Wedding

The Wedding of Jordan and Troy in Gig Harbor

A very Happy First Anniversary to Jordan and Troy! This lovely couple tied the knot on a glorious Seattle spring day in 2021 at the family’s beautiful waterfront residence near Gig Harbor right on Puget Sound. Having been affected by pandemic restrictions the couple moved their wedding from a local hotel to this beautiful home and celebrated with just closest friends and family. And what a glorious spring day it was for this beautiful outdoor wedding!

Spring Flowers for a Seattle Spring Wedding

Designing floral arrangements for an early spring wedding fills our hearts. In March and April we start receiving the first locally grown spring flowers like ranunculus, anemones, jasmine vines, and fun foliages. So naturally we used them for Jordan’s bouquets. But it was the peach colored David Austin rose “Juliet” that took center stage throughout her designs!
