Joanna and Ben’s August wedding at Chateau Lill was truly a fairytale come to life! The Chateau’s park-like grounds were the perfect backdrop to this elegant green and white wedding. Upon arrival, guests were welcomed with a glass of bubbly (check out the custom champagne wall by Gene Alexander Designs!) and ushered through the first of three floral arches through the vineyard, past the pond, and up under the trees to the fairytale ceremony site.

A Fairytale Brought to Life in the Dreamy White Ceremony

The couple exchanged vows under a lush floral arch filled with English tea and garden roses, dahlias, delphinium, hydrangea, and stock blossoms. The wedding ceremony design was an enchanting combination of clean modern lines and overgrown romantic floral designs – all framed perfectly by the leafy tree canopy of Chateau Lill’s fairytale upper garden.

A Fairytale Wedding Reception Tent

After cocktails on the lawn, guests headed back down through the vineyard to the cool respite of the white reception tent. Here, dark chocolate and black blooms mingled with the white to create an elevated black-tie atmosphere. At the center of the tent, over the long head table, hung a stunning floral chandelier dripping with white blooms. And, as the evening light faded, the ceiling twinkled with fairy lights – a perfect end to this fairytale wedding day at Chateau Lill!

A Lush Chihuly Glasshouse Wedding

This couple was so much fun to work with! Their smiles and cheerful personalities could light up any room and you can see that through their photos. Seeing couples laughing and enjoying their big day makes us so happy to have been a part of it. We are so grateful Roddy Chung was able to capture all of the special moments and smiles! Hint: There is some epic photographs below – just stunnning!

We chose soft blush and white florals to design all of the floral arrangements and bouquets, transforming Chihuly into a lush glasshouse wedding.

A Lush Flower Garden Aisle

We were able to create a perfectly lush gardenesque ambiance for this Chihuly Glasshouse wedding. Flowers arranged in varying heights and styles lined the aisle, leading up to the front of the Glasshouse. As sunlight poured into the room, the details and beauty of the lush white and blush cascading floral arrangements came to life. The floral arrangements were designed with hydrangeas, roses, anemones, cherry blossom branches, and delphiniums. The aisle transformed into a flower garden, and the bride walked down the aisle with her mom. Cheers and celebrations for the bride and groom commence once the ceremony comes to an end as they kiss.

A Golden Glasshouse

As the sun sets on the Glasshouse, the bright orange and yellow hues in the glass ceiling art created an almost golden light at night. The celebrations continued with toasts and dancing as the couple took their seats at the head table. The head table backdrop was a golden metal design, and on either side of it, cascading floral arrangements were placed. Tall lush floral arrangements and candelabras decorated each table, along with a variety of candles to go around each centerpieces. The lush floral arrangements were designed with hydrangeas, roses, anemones, cherry blossom branches, and delphiniums. The lush cascading bar arrangement was an absolute show stopper for everyone to see as they grabbed their drinks throughout the night.

Black and White Woodmark Wedding

Woodmark Wedding in Black and White – Katie & Brandon

This lush black and white mid-summer wedding at The Woodmark Hotel came together beautifully with Lake Washington in the background. The garden greenery, black and white anemones, roses, and lacecap hydrangea gave all of the arrangements a lush and vibrant look. The bride’s lace wedding dress along with her airy garden bouquet were giving us all of the whimsical wedding feeling on that summer day. We just can’t get over how beautiful the black and white panda anemones look in the bridal bouquet and the flat lays. We are happy that Anna Peters was able to capture this day and all the details.

A Lakeside Ceremony

Adding greenery to the Woodmark tent chandeliers brought the room together beautifully. Greening ceilings and tents gives the room more depth and enhances the space by giving the eyes more to look at and admire. Lining the aisle with tall floral arrangements leading up to the circle arch brought the outdoors in and made the tent feel like a garden. The circle arch was designed with beautiful and vibrant florals and greenery, including black and white anemones, roses, and lacecap hydrangea. With Lake Washington in the background, the ceremony took place in a tent filled with loved ones.

A Sunset Garden Reception

As the sun set on Lake Washington, the tent transformed into a lush reception space. With high and low floral arrangements throughout the tent, the space was filled with elements of a lush garden. The day was uniquely captured by an artist who live painted the ceremony. She painted the details of the arch and aisle, and was able to capture Lake Washington gleaming in the background. With laughter, cheers, and dancing the night away, this lovely couples wedding day came to an end. We absolutely loved how this wedding day turned out and are so happy for the beautiful couple!

Purple Spring Wedding Flowers

The Romantic Spring Wedding of Christina and Ryan

How about purple spring wedding flowers? Sweet-pea, roses, stock, hyacinths, phlox, campanula … to just name a few. They are not only super pretty and delicate but oh-so fragrant too. Christina and Ryan celebrated their wedding day last June at the swank Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle and incorporated all those pretty flowers as part of their floral designs.

The weather outside was unusually hot (do you remember that heatwave?) and we were so glad to be working indoors. And wow, the flowers sure liked the air conditioned ballroom too.

Romantic Bouquets of Purple Spring Wedding Flowers

We had so much fun designing these fluffy, romantic bouquets for Christina and her bridal party. Fragrant sweet pea was just the perfect addition to bouquets of roses, peonies, and ranunculus.

A Wooden Arch for the Ceremony

For Christina and Ryan’s spring ceremony we designed a wooden arbor adorned with sheer draping, lots of fresh spring greenery, and white and purple spring wedding flowers. We used peonies, roses, stock, campanula, and phlox to create a romantic backdrop with an organic garden feel.

And look at this romantic and elegant wedding reception: wall draping, specialty linens, silver Chivari chairs, and lots of spring flowers and candles transformed the Four Seasons ballroom into a fresh, romantic reception space. And look at these beautiful chandeliers above the dance floor – what a nice touch.

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!

An Outdoor Ceremony

For the ceremony we decorated the small backyard tent with lots and lots of greenery vines. As ceremony backdrop we designed a round circle arch covered in greenery and floral clusters using various roses in shades of cream and peach.

Wedding at the Fairmont Olympic

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.
