A Black & White Affair....

Brad & Amber were married June 4, 2010 at The Antheia Ballroom in Snohomish. They had a fun black and white and pink theme with the Parisien print being the focal point.

We created a luscious bouquet in all white with Roses, Peonies, Mini Calla Lilies and Dendrobium Orchids. It was more stunning in person. We also added the Pariesien print ribbon to the stem wrap of the bouquet. Beautiful!


The Bridesmaids carried hot pink bundles of Roses, Mini Calla Lilies and Carnations tied with black satin and the Parisien print on the stem wrap.


The Ballroom's tables were beautifully decorated with a fabulous Parisien print linen from Choice Linens and the table decorations were simple black vases with a tightly designed arrangement of hot pink Carnations.
Simple, but stunning!


Brad & Amber were such a fun couple to work with. Congrats!

Wedding in Woodinville photos are here!

Weddings in Woodinville was a fabulous event this year and we were so honored to be asked to be a part of it by the also fabulous Jennifer Taylor with Taylor'd Events by Jen!

We had the opportunity to feature our floral decor at Novelty Hill-Januik Winery in Woodinville. A contemporary venue with fantastic wines and the most fun little foodie bites you could imagine. They served up popcorn, tempura vegetables, wine sorbet, pizza and my favorites crab stuffed tomatoes. Delicious!

It's a wonderful place to have your wedding or event if you are looking for a clean, contemporary space with food and wine to delight the palette. We had a fun time coming up with a design concept for this venue. It being such a cool space we really wanted to warm it up with a pop of color. With Jen in the lead, she wanted to play off the lime greens, sunshine yellows and rich oranges of all the Glassy Baby candle holders the winery boasts.

We designed the floral to be just as fun with a splash of color. Check out all the incredible photos by Tania, with Azzura Photography! Can't say enough about her and her team, fantastic gal to work with as well as an extremely accomplished photographer. Thanks Tania!



 A couple of views of the entire room. The linens were truly chic from Choice Linens and the ceiling drapery from Chic Celebrations really softened the room.


Each table had a different concept for menu and placecards from Uncommon Invites. Sensational!
We did two different table centerpiece concepts for floral decor. Our low style featured below was a table scape of 4 square glass vases. One with Yellow Disbud mums and one with Yellow Button Mums nestled in a vase filled with black rocks and gems. The other two square vases were two different heights and featured submerged Yellow Cymbidium Orchids suspended on silver wire.

We also created these cute Glassy Baby arrangements with a collection of Button Mums. Simple and Chic!



The other table concept was a tall style and it featured a garden style arrangement sitting atop a glass cylinder vase in pops of lime green and yellow among a garden variety of white. The arrangement featured White Hydrangeas, White Spider Mums, White Roses, Mini Green Hydrangeas, Yellow Button Mums and Yellow Cymbidium Orchids.

The unique aspect to these arrangments was the suspended Yellow Button Mum Pomander balls inside the vase. Suspended from Crystal strands. Super Chic and an interest your guest will be talking about long after the wedding, aside from the beautiful bride of course.


The Alter was created with two tall square glass vases with suspended Yellow Button Mum Pomander Balls inside. The arrangements were a garden collection of flowers with Pussy Willow for height and visual interest. A unique and interesting way to frame in the Bride and Groom at the Altar.

The drapery really softens the look. Chivari Chairs from Pedersen's Rentals.


I got several compliments on my vendor table at the show. We featured a simple piece with natural river rocks, Manzanita Branches blooming with Orchids and Crystals. This a great way to mark your guest book, use as a centerpiece option or on a bigger scale at your Altar. There's so many things you can do with branches to really make a statement at your event, plus it's green!

The bouquet was a rich collection of poppy colors. We used Mini Green Hydrangea, Blackberries, Scented Geranium Leaves, Fushchia Spray Roses, Hypnosis Purple Roses, Mini Garnet Carnations and Lime Green Mini Cymbidium Orchids. Stunning!

Thank you to all the contributing vendors. This was a fantastic show that couldn't have been done without you all.

January Nace Meeting: 2010 Wedding Trends

Last night was the first NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) Meeting of the year.
Hosted by the Columbia Tower Club.
NACE is a wonderful networking group of event professionals that I am happy to be a part of.

The event was 2010 Wedding Trends and our speaker Lynne DeLuca was a pleasure. 
Check out her website for her free newsletter and other great stuff.

We were asked among 7 other design companies to do a table for the event. The theme for our table was "Rustic Elegance."
My goal was to blend the trend of rustic, natural, organic and woodsy with chic, elegant and modern. Being 2010 brides are more econonimally savvy as well as conscious of their eco-footprint while planning a wedding I used only filler, greenery and curly willow sticks. This keep the cost down on the arrangement, but doesn't sacrific drama. The crystals added elegance and sophistication to the piece.


There was a subtle accent of white Dendrobium Orchids and Mini Green Cymbidium Orchids accented on among the branches.


The Crystals and the beautiful Fleur de Lis Votive Holders were provided by Chic Celebrations.



To continue with the natural elements, we created napkin rings out of strips of birch and accented them with orchids. A few of the votive holders were also accented with birch to keep with the theme.
Choice Linens provided the table linen, napkins and chargers.



Here's a glimpse of the other tables presented that night by the other decor companies:
