International Women's Day with Microsoft

Elements in Bloom was honored to be invited to do the floral design for Microsoft's 2011 "International Women's Conference" held at the Woodmark Hotel! This is our second year collaborating with the Kristi, the event coordinator for this event and we look forward to it every year.

Here are a few snapshots that I took - but professional pictures will be featured as soon as I get them!

Kristi had a garden tea party style theme, so we created these luxurious floral centerpieces in hues of blush pink, pea green and accents of rustic brown.

We used our fantastic vintage silver urn rentals for the vases and created a sweet combination of Roses, Tulips, Amaranthus, Jasmine, Hydrangea, Lotus Pods and Mini Calla Lilies.

These adorable favors came from Godiva chocolate - YUM!

The perfect table linens, provided by Linens by Alice in an apple green complimented the arrangements and our votive candles nestled in split peas perfectly.

It's a beautiful day...

We are always thrilled to work at beautiful venues like The Woodmark Hotel, in Kirkland. This gorgeous outdoor wedding this past August 14th, 2010 of Sara & Brian was one of our favorites.

Sara and Brian were a pleasure to work with, as well as Sara's mom Susan. She's a tough cookie to please, but we managed to make it happen overwhelmingly!

What a gorgeous couple they are for a truly gorgeous waterfront summer day. It couldn't have been more perfect. Enjoy this pink an gun metal wedding... images by Cory Parris.




We designed a beautiful all white bouquet wtih David Austin Roses, Dendrobium Orchids and Spray Roses.



Bridesmaids bouquets in poppy pinks and fuschia to contrast against the gunmetal dresses.




An alternative to floral sprays at the Altar, we did these rich pink hued tent tie backs all around the tent. That way they were still enjoyed throughout the Ceremony and Reception without moving them in transition.




Trios of lush arrangements on each table in green, pinks and fuschia designed with Hydrangeas, Spray Roses, Roses and Orchids stand out on this gorgeous scroll champagne linen from BBJ Linens.

I'm always amazed at the incredible cake art from Starry Nights Catering!

A little candlelight goes a long way


Congrats to Sara & Brian, we wish you a happy and fulfilled life together!

Claudine with La Belle Soiree was the day-of-coordinator for this event. Some images were taken by Elements in Bloom.
