Shawn and Nick

Shawn was one of my first friends when I moved to Woodinville. She lived down the street and her father was my softball coach. In junior high her family moved away and sadly we lost touch. Thanks to Facebook we were able to reconnect with each other and had dinner to celebrate her engagement.

Her wedding colors were bright sunset colors with charcoal accents. They were married at Hidden Meadows in Snohomish. Shawn's favorite flower is the gerber daisy so I made sure her floral arrangements included them. Her bouquet had yellow accents, her maid of honors bouquets had orange accents and the bridesmaids bouquets had pink accents.

Stephanie and Adam

Stephanie and Adam were married at The Edgewater Hotel in downtown Seattle. This venue has one of the most beautiful views of the Seattle waterfront I have ever seen. Their wedding was two weeks before Christmas so Stephanie chose a sophisticated holiday themed decor. She chose red roses for her bouquet and white roses with red hypericum berries for her bridesmaids. The reception centerpieces were floating cranberries and a candle in a clean cylinder vase. The candlelight from the centerpieces were perfect lighting for their winter wedding.

Laurell and Elliott

Laurell and I grew up attending Overlake Christian Church. We went to the same summer camps, mission trips and youth group. After high school we attended different churches. Years later, we reconnected at Mars Hill Church through a mutual friend. I love when these things happen. It's always great meeting new people, but when old friends come back in your life it is so awesome!

When she got engaged to Elliott, it was a perfect time chat over coffee. We started discussing what she wanted for her flowers - elegant flowers in bright colors. She loves orchids and variegated roses and wanted to incorporate fuchsia, orange and small glimpses of yellow into her floral design. One of my favorite pictures from her wedding is the contrast of her bright bouquet against the green moss on the rocks.

Her wedding ceremony and reception took place at Robinswood House in Bellevue, WA. It ended up being a rainy Fall day which made her wedding even more sweet and romantic. Laurell was a such beautiful bride and I am so thankful I got to reconnect with her!

Brianna and Kevin

I love how small the world is! When Michelle Newell told me her cousin Brianna was getting married and needed a florist - I was more than happy to do her wedding. Then to find out Brianna was marrying one of my coworkers, it made the world that much smaller.

The big day was August 14^th, 2010. Brianna was a beautiful bride with a classic birdcage veil. She wanted a whimsical fall color scheme. She loved variegated flowers, so I used beautiful marigold roses with red tips. The roses unified her color scheme. We focused on gold, yellow and orange flowers with a touch of red. The ceremony and reception took place at Mironi Meadows, just outside of Snohomish, Washington.
