Covid Micro Wedding in Beautiful Air Bnb in Leavenworth, Washington

After deciding if they should postpone to next summer, Chelsea & Eric decided to rent an air bnb in Leavenworth, Washington and have a micro wedding. The air bnb was stunning and sat overlooking the Wenatchee River. The morning started out as a beautiful crisp and sunny day but it quickly turned to high winds and freezing rain. As the vendors went back and forth deciding what to do, a break in the rain came through and we quickly hustled everyone out to the ceremony spot to get these two married. Honestly, it was perfect. Here are a few photos from their day.

mountain wedding in estes park, colorado

Estes Park, Colorado, Neutral, Cactus-Inspired Mountain Wedding

Mandi & Pace are like family to me, Mandi is my best friend’s older sister, so I was so stoked when they invited me down to Colorado to be their florist. With a great love for the outdoors and the Rocky Mountains, I knew I had to incorporate succulents, cacti and dried elements. Marci (Mandi’s sister) and I packed up the car with so many plants and materials and made the 20 hour drive straight to Colorado from Seattle. All photos by Wyat Taylor.

We battled the craziest summer thunderstorm with wind & rain and after trying to wait it out, we pivoted plans and moved the ceremony to under the awning. Like always, it turned out perfect.

Foraged mountain florals

The day before the wedding, we went out foraging in the dry mountainous landscape, creating these bundles to be placed on each persons place setting.

This was my first time ever in Colorado and it truly is such a magical place.

mountain inspired wedding in leavenworth

Lauren and Jessie exemplify true adventure, mountainous spirit & pure kindness and I did my best to express that through the florals. This amazing central washington wedding kicked off my 2019 wedding season and set the tone for ultimate creativity. All photos by Kate Van Amringe.

sun valley, idaho wedding

Tori had a plan to move to Sun Valley, Idaho for a couple months after college but on her first day there she met Cody. You guys can figure out the rest of the story. Not only did I get to create the florals for this insanely fun and amazing day, but I also got to stand by Tori’s side while she said “I do” to Cody. Florals were inspired by Tori and Cody’s shared love for the mountains and their naturally spirited love for each other. The night ended with some of the hardest dancing I’ve ever done with so many amazing people under the stars (scroll down to see me in action).

Sent this bouquet off for a one year anniversary shoot at Hurricane Ridge. So cool to see Erin & Brandon dress up in their wedding attire and dance in the glowing sunset light.
