A Lotte Hotel Seattle Wedding

This absolutely striking and dramatic Lotte Hotel Seattle wedding was straight out of a dark fall romance novel. The color palette was a rich variety of deep blue, burgundy, and beige. We designed the bridal bouquet with rich burgundy peonies and amaranthus, complemented with peach ranunculus and wispy blue eryngos.

The ceremony was set in The Lotte Hotel, located in the heart of Seattle. We designed the ceremony arch in the center of the large Beaux Arts-style room, allowing the wedding guests to be seated around the arch. The arch design was a mix of preserved foliage and fresh roses. A stunning combination of navy blue, burgundy, and beige dried leaves and textured airy foliage designed the top of the dramatic arch. With the lights dimmed and the spotlight on the center of the room, the couple took their vows surrounded by friends and family.

This wedding was a lovely combination of striking dried foliage and lush fresh florals. Textures and colors blended in arrangements to make the couples truly unique and personalized vision come to life. This Lotte Hotel Seattle wedding was a lovely and stunning November wedding, one we will always cherish.

A Wedding With Bursts of Color

Cheryl and Manny’s wedding at the Chihuly Glass House in Seattle was a beautiful wedding with bursts of color. And it sure was an affair of classy, understated elegance. We provided textured floral in all white in a lush and tailored design style. The bouquets for the wedding party and the centerpieces included roses in creams and white, with white ranunculus, white dahlias and lisianthus, white astilbe, and white hanging amaranthus.

As it was a balmy warm summer day here in Seattle, the couple got married outside in the beautiful Chihuly glass garden, right in front of the gorgeous sun sculpture. With a stunning backdrop like that, no further floral embellishments were necessary. The large glass sun provided an impactful burst of color for their intimate ceremony.

A Starburst Chihuly Reception

When planning a wedding with bursts of color the little details count! Their beautiful reception in the Chihuly Glass House was an affair to be remembered. Glass table tops reflected the ceiling glass installation. As centerpieces we designed modern monochromatic floral in all white in black containers. These centerpieces provided a subtle yet striking accent. And white linens and clear lucite chairs added to the overall understated elegance of the evening. The small orange water goblets at each place setting added the perfect burst of color throughout. So pretty!

We loved the look of this event – what do you think?

A Seattle Aquarium Wedding

In today’s blog post we are changing things up a little. We are not featuring a recent wedding – no, we are featuring this beautiful, classic Seattle Aquarium wedding from 10 years ago. This is the wedding of Elena and John, who tied the knot at this Seattle landmark location in October of 2013. And I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already! Fashions and trends have changed a lot in those 10 and some elements of this wedding might be a little dated, but I am still in love with the overall timeless and classy feel of this wedding.

For the ceremony backdrop we designed huge trees that were covered in white phaleanopsis and dendrobium orchids and and then adorned with long crystal strands. And the ceremony aisle was lined with tall floating candles and white rose petals. Then smaller orchid trees decorated the ceremony aisle entrance.

Their ceremony took place right in front of the large fish tank. And this Seattle Aquarium wedding was a feast for the eyes: who doesn’t want to treat their guests with views of a lively ocean tank during their ceremony?

The black and white wedding reception featured tall centerpieces of trailing white orchids, lots of romantic candle light, black Chivari chairs and white linens, and ice bar, and more. And beaded glass charger plates, floating candles, and fun napkin details added to the romantic atmosphere. I have so many fond memories of this wedding. Happy Anniversary, E&J!!

A Floral Ceiling At The Columbia Winery

Design a white and green wedding, but make it lush and grand? Absolutely! With this Columbia Winery wedding, we were able to take a classical color palette and turn it into a breathtaking design. Endless white roses and lush greenery surrounded everything, from the welcome sign to the wine barrels. The bouquets were designed using lush white roses with long stems, giving the bridal party a classical clean look. The arch was stunning, reaching high above the door way, filled with white roses and greenery. A clean yet grand look for a ceremony, and the perfect segue into a room with a floral ceiling at the Columbia Winery.

Dancing Under A Floral Ceiling

After coming down a candle lit staircase with cascading greenery, the guests would see a floral ceiling in the Columbia Winery reception hall. No words are needed to explain the butterflies you would get watching a first dance under a ceiling of hanging wisteria. This ceiling installation changed the look of the whole room! The head table had a long row of floral arrangements at the front and more placed across the top. Behind the head table were cascading floral arrangements on the wine barrels. An absolutely grand head table to be seated at to get front seats to the magic happening on the dance floor. Throughout the room were various tall and low floral arrangements and candles on each reception table. We love taking a classical color palette and turning it in to a wonderful dream come true!
