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.

Intimate Covid Wedding in the Desert of Central Washington

I’m not even sure where to begin with writing this blog. This was one of the most special days of my life because not only was I the florist but also a bridesmaid and the officiant for my best friends, Will & Kenz. As we all know, Covid-19 really screwed up all of our plans for summer 2020. But as it became more and more evident that Kenz and Will wouldn’t get the big wedding they had planned, Kenz didn’t care about anything but marrying Will. And that’s exactly what she did. We were able to create the most magical & beautiful desert inspired wedding on a private residence in central Washington. Kenz has an incredible eye for design and every single detail of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Every time I look back on these photos I’m blown away again at how freaking stunning it was. In the midst of chaos and unpredictability, 30 of us were able to escape into the love story of Kenz & Will. Lots of tears, lots of laughter, so much smiling, and a LOT of dancing (until 4am to be exact). I hope you enjoy scrolling through this gallery & can feel the immense amount of love that was shared on this day.

windy & rainy workshop shoot on the washington coast

I was stoked when Dawn asked me to do the flowers for her Wander Workshop on the Washington coast. I was able to build these ceremony structures with my friend Eli to create a unique ceremony set up. It was a typical winter coast day, rainy & freezing cold, but so much fun.

hiking elopement at the base of mt rainier

The most magical and adventurous elopement at the base of mt rainier.

I met Luke (rad photographer) at a Starbucks parking lot in Seattle to drop off the bouquet with him on his trek to mt rainier. When he sent me back this photo album my jaw dropped. Every single detail of this day is so perfect & so authentic. I designed the bouquet with a combination of different roses, some pops of dried textural pieces and kumquats (my favorite little orange pop). I hope you enjoy scrolling through these photos as much as I did.

fall wedding in roche harbor

The sun came out for this stunning October wedding in Roche Harbor & it couldn’t have been more beautiful. I had so much fun making this fall inspired, super textural bouquet and couldn’t be happier with all the amazing photos that Kim took. Crisp cool air, warm sunshine, colorful flowers, oyster shell name tags & the most enjoyable vendor crew of all time. Katie from Revel San Juan for planning and Kim from La Vie Photography helped create everything you see below.

enchanted forest wedding in snohomish

Anna & Andrew got married at one of my all time favorite wedding venues, Maroni Meadows. I hung greenery all over the wooden shelters to accompany all the existing vines & overgrown greenery throughout the venue. Pops of burgundy gave this outdoor summer wedding a moody and romantic feel. Anna & Andrew are two of the most stunning and genuine people I’ve ever met and I wish them all the best throughout their marriage. All photos by Brittany Moore.

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.

perfect spring wedding in seattle

I went to High School and college with Ty and let me tell you, this girl knows how to have a good time. This day was all smiles, all laughter, lots of drinks & so much dancing. So happy I got to be apart of Tyler and Kevon’s perfect wedding day. All photos by Wyat Taylor.

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).

elopement on the beach at la push

Meghan & Dom’s elopement was the very first wedding I ever did on my own. Forever grateful for them trusting me to create her bouquet and an intimate tablescape. After their small & romantic ceremony on the beach, they found me and invited me to enjoy dinner with them and their family. I’ll never forget this weekend, realizing that I’d found my passion designing flowers and watching whales just feet off the shore. Thank you thank you thank you so much Meghan, your wedding day will always be one of my favorite days.
