An Enchanting All White Wedding At The Fairmount Olympic Hotel

This enchanting all white wedding at The Fairmount Olympic Hotel was an absolute beauty. We took all white to a whole new level of chic and timeless. We designed the all white bridal bouquet with baby’s breath, roses, ranunculus, and orchid blooms. The bridesmaids were similar to the bridal bouquet, but smaller and simpler arrangements with baby’s breath and roses. Can take a moment to talk about how STUNNING the bride looks! Bridal Beauty Agency gave this bride a makeup look that was stunning and looked flawless the entire evening!

Continuing the all white theme with baby’s breath and roses, the candlelight and rose petal aisle was perfect! We laid out white rose petals and candles to line either side of the aisle which led up to where the ceremony would take place. Two large poofs were placed on white pedestals and surrounded by rose petals and candles. The bride and groom took their vows, kissed as newly pronounced husband and wife, and the evening continued on to the reception. A lovely and sweet ceremony for this sweet couple!

An Enchanting All White Reception

We have no words for this reception! It was stunning and enchanting and Kristen Marie Parker took the best photos of this wedding. Poofs, candles, and garlands of baby’s breath decorated the entry way as the guests made their way to the Spanish Ballroom at The Fairmount Olympic Hotel.

We designed lush floral arrangements with baby’s breath and roses to line each reception table. Guests walked into an enchanting all white reception ballroom filled with rows of tables decorated with lush arrangements. The evening continued in celebrations as the guests gave cheers and toasts to the lovely couple.

A Vibrant Tropical Wedding In Seattle

This vibrant tropical wedding at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle was a unique and colorful event to design. We used a combination of monochrome and color blocked designs to bing out the orange, red, and blush pink color palette. Soft pink roses filled the bridal bouquet and went beautifully with her delicate tulle dress and sheer sleeves. We designed each bridesmaid bouquet with a different color and shade of roses that was part of the floral color palette.

A Vibrant Tropical Ceremony

Bringing those vibrant colors in to the Fairmont Olympic, the color block designed arch stood in front of the tall floor to ceiling windows. Arrangements designed with lush green tropical leaves and florals decorated the entrance of the aisle and the arch. We designed a mix of color blocked and monochrome arrangements to be places down the aisle for a full and lush look. The bride and groom walked down the aisle holding hands as newly weds and just pronounced, husband and wife.

The vibrant tropical wedding ceremony was transformed into a stunning reception. Low monochrome arrangements lined the tables between tall vases of lush tropical leaves. Roses and dahlias adorned every arrangement with lush and vibrant colors. The color blocked arch highlighted to center of the head table where the bride and groom would sit. After center staging the head table, we places tall arrangements on gold stands to highlight the tropical leaves and add more variability and height to the decor and arrangements. The days celebrations continued in this lovely colorful room with lush green leaves and vibrant flowers. A night to remember, filled with love and color.

A Golden Hour Reception At The Admiral’s House

This lovely all white reception caught the most beautiful golden hour at The Admiral’s House. This brides simple white dress with the bow detailing in the back was complimented by her lush and fluffy bridal bouquet. We designed her bouquet with white lisianthus, roses, stems of delphinium, and stock. The groom and groomsmen opted for no personal florals and all wore tuxedos. We designed the bridal party bouquets with the same florals as the brides, but in a smaller arrangement, so that they could complement each other. The golden hour light shines behind the wedding party as they get their portrait shots before the reception.

An All White Church Ceremony

Before we look go to the Admiral’s House for the lovely all white golden hour reception, let’s go back to the ceremony. The ceremony was a simple and intimate church event, with white urs of florals placed in the front. At the end of each pew, a cluster of hydrangeas and delicate ribbon hung to line the aisle.

Once the bride and groom took their vows, they kissed as newly pronounced husband and wife and were greeted by guests outside the door cheering and congratulating them.

All White Golden Hour Reception

This all white golden hour reception at The Admiral’s House was an absolutely stunning event. We had a hard time picking which pictures to use because Amanda K got so many good photos in all of the right angles!

The head table was placed closest to the water for the best views and pictures. We designed lush arrangements and garlands of white hydrangea to fill the center of the table and they continued to cascade on to the floor on either end of the head table. Tucking in candles around the hydrangea to great the perfect candlelight reception once the sun began to set.

We designed the other two guest tables by filling the tables with bud vases of single stemmed roses and hydrangea. Between these many floral bud vases were candles to fill in the space and create that candlelight for the night.

As the sun began to set over the water, guests gave cheers and toasts to the bride and groom. The candlelights shone more and more as the sun slowly set and the night went on with dancing and more celebrations.

A Lavish Birthday Celebration At The Hyatt Regency Lake Washington

This Lavish Birthday Celebration At The Hyatt Regency Lake Washington was a multiple day event. Each days vision transformed the ballrooms into a different space. We were thrilled to design the florals for this celebration and it’s certainly an event to remember! Let’s take a look into the different events and how lavish they were.

A Lavish Birthday Celebration: A Starlight Ballroom Dinner

Kicking off the birthday celebrations with a moody starry night dinner. The first nights celebrations were all about the dramatic and lavish decor and ambiance. This lavish birthday celebration transformed the ballroom into a magical night. Fairy lights hung across the ceiling and down the walls, reflecting across the mirrored table tops. Black table clothes draped along the tables and black accented tableware drew in the color palette. We designed lush and vibrant red floral arrangements for each table, varying in high and types of florals. Some tables got tall lush floral poofs with roses and hydrangeas. Other tables had smaller arrangements with either one variety of flowers or lush vibrant and varying arrangement. This was certainly a fun and mesmerizing night with candlelights and fairy lights glimmering in the dark room.

A Lavish Birthday Celebration At The Hyatt Regency Lake Washington: A New Season Of Celebration

The second day of this lavish birthday celebration at The Hyatt Regency Lake Washington was decorated with the inspiration of autumn. We love working with Pink Blossom Events because they love details as much as we do. The color palette for the day were blue and amber, with hints of gold and rose gold. Lovely blue linen draped along the tables and the tableware and candle holders accented each table with gold and rose gold. We designed bud vases with textured greenery, and lush tall arrangements with lovely branches and florals. We were certainly able to create a lovely warm ambiance through the color palette and textures.

A Romantic Vineyard Wedding In Woodinville

This romantic vineyard wedding took place in one of our favorite venues in Woodinville, Chateau Lill. Chateau lill is a mainly outdoors wedding venue with lovely trees, a pond, and reception tent that will make you feel like you are in the Italian countryside.

The bridal bouquet was a lush cascading bouquet designed with anemones, roses, dahlias, and more delicate florals and greenery. We designed the bridal crown by intricately layering the roses and greenery. The lace bridal dress back styled with the soft wavy hair and the delicate floral crown make a perfect bridal look for this romantic vineyard wedding in Woodinville.

A Romantic Ceremony Between the Trees

The ceremony for this romantic vineyard wedding in Woodinville look place in a spot nestled between the trees. An aisle entrance with filled with lush white and green floral arrangements and candles to lead up to the aisle of rose petal. A lush floral arch stood at the end of the aisle to provide a perfect background for this romantic vineyard wedding in Woodinville.

The bride and groom took their vows in front of their loved ones in the beautiful outdoors ceremony. As the crowd clapped, the bride and groom walked down the aisle together, leaning in for their first kiss as husband and wife.

Vineyard Tent Reception

The celebrations continue into the reception tent at this romantic vineyard wedding in Woodinville. We worked with Vintage Ambiance to create the lovely floral chandelier in the center of the reception tent. With Vintage Ambiance‘s lights in place, we got to work designing the chandelier with lush florals and bunches of greenery. The delicious cake from Saltadena Bakery was placed on the table underneath, and everything looked spectacular.

The head table was lined with bud vases and candles. The bud vases were filled with delicate blooms such as anemones, roses, and dahlias with greenery tucked in between. Lush white and green centerpieces decorated the rest of the tables with candles tucked around them.

This wedding was an absolutely stunning and romantic event that we will cherish. White and green in a classic combination, but there are ways to make it more interesting with texture, seasonal florals, and installations that are unique to your wedding and taste, like the floral chandelier about the cake table. We encourage all of our couples to personalize whatever color palette they want to go with and make it their own!

Attention to details in this glamorous luxury wedding were at another level and we were so happy to be part of this couples dream wedding. The brides dress was a lovely and delicately beaded gown and we designed her bouquet to match her elegant luxury look perfectly. Designing the bridal bouquet with cascading orchids, lush blush ranunculus, and white peonies gave the bouquet a lovely delicate look while still allowing the bride and her dress to be the stars of the show. The couples two dogs were also a part of their big day. They rocked their floral collars throughout the wedding day and were on their best behavior with To Wag & To Hold.

A Glamorous Luxury Fairmont Olympic Wedding

The glamorous luxury ceremony started with a jaw dropping aisle. A reflective aisle runner lined with clusters of candles and tall flower arrangements decorated each side. The chairs seamlessly filled the room with rows for guests, facing the lovely floral filled arch. We designed the arch with a plethora of roses and greenery and filled the bottom with glowing candles. As the bride walked down the aisle, the reflective aisle runner with covered with fog to create a lovely romantic look. The couples said their vows and kissed as they were pronounced husband and wife.

A Growing Garden Stairwell

The stairwell leading up to cocktail hour and the reception ballroom at this glamorous luxury Fairmont Olympic wedding was definitely a highlight. As guests made their way to cocktail hour, they were welcomed into a stairwell that would transport them into a fairytale evening. Flowers and greenery climbed up the draping and filled the space with fresh floral fragrance and delicate dancing flowers. All under the glowing light of candles lighting the way for the guests and welcoming them to the next part of the evening events.

A Glamorous Luxury Reception

The glamorous luxury Fairmont Olympic wedding only got better as the doors to the Spanish Ballroom opened. The guests were welcomed into an awe striking reception hall! Floral arrangements filled every table and candles lit up the ballroom. The head table was the focal point for the whole room. A full floral arrangement ran the course of the table draping down either side. We designed a floral arch above where the bride and groom would sit to really center the room. We placed 2 floral arrangements on either side of the arch and along the front of the head table. Candles filled the space and brightened the room. Each reception table got a tall or low floral arrangement surrounded by clusters of votive and taper candles. The bride and groom cut their cake, dances, and cheered as the night went on with more celebrations.
