We are in the midst of Holiday Season – a very fun and welcome change from the wedding and event work during the rest of the year. Much of December we are covered in glitter and the showroom smells of fresh pine needles. It is the season when we help many annual clients decorate their large annual corporate holiday galas, their office spaces, or their employee dinner parties. It sure is a fun time of year for us. The party we are sharing today is an annual, super-fun event for us. Every year this client picks a different theme for their gala. And last year’s theme was A Holiday Gala: A Night of Magic.

This black-and-white party was modern, hip, and oh-so stylish! We used all white floral, candles and more candles, and silver orbs of various sizes to decorate each of the tables. Black linens and clear ghost chairs completed the look. Magical lighting, and large clusters of silver balloons throughout the space added that magical touch. Kevin from SLAY Events truly slayed it!!

I hope you enjoyed these images of A Holiday Gala: A Night of Magic! If you are in need of an event decorator, please contact us – we love to help!

We are so very excited to be sharing this beautiful winter wedding on our blog this week! Delaney and Garrett’s romantic, candle-lit, evergreen winter wedding at Axis Pioneer Square was an affair to be remembered. And we loved the couple’s vision to use lots of winter greenery, just white floral, lots of candles, and fun forest textures. For the bouquets we used Panda anemones, white spray roses, white ranunculus, pine cones, eucalyptus pods, and various evergreens.

An Evergreen Winter Wedding Ceremony

For Delaney and Garret’s wedding ceremony we sources lots of evergreen trees of various heights and styles. By grouping tem together they created a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony. Then we lined the aisle with lots of hurricane candles on beds of evergreen. And the ceiling sparkled in warm twinkle lights. It can’t be more romantic than that!

An Evergreen Winter Wedding Reception

Now look at all those beautiful tables for the reception. We decorated some tables with tall vases filled with evergreen branches. And other tables we filled with a large grouping of hurricane candles. And then we lined the long head table with tall candelabras, small floral vases, and lots and lots of candle holders. Just wow!

This absolutely striking and dramatic Lotte Hotel Seattle wedding was straight out of a dark fall romance novel. The color palette was a rich variety of deep blue, burgundy, and beige. We designed the bridal bouquet with rich burgundy peonies and amaranthus, complemented with peach ranunculus and wispy blue eryngos.

The ceremony was set in The Lotte Hotel, located in the heart of Seattle. We designed the ceremony arch in the center of the large Beaux Arts-style room, allowing the wedding guests to be seated around the arch. The arch design was a mix of preserved foliage and fresh roses. A stunning combination of navy blue, burgundy, and beige dried leaves and textured airy foliage designed the top of the dramatic arch. With the lights dimmed and the spotlight on the center of the room, the couple took their vows surrounded by friends and family.

A Dramatic Lotte Hotel Seattle Reception

This Lotte Hotel Seattle wedding reception had a romantic candlelight dinner ambiance. With a live band playing and a bar now centered in the room around the floral installation, the reception comes to life. Bud vases line the tables with a rich variety of deep blue, burgundy, and beige florals.

This wedding was a lovely combination of striking dried foliage and lush fresh florals. Textures and colors blended in arrangements to make the couples truly unique and personalized vision come to life. This Lotte Hotel Seattle wedding was a lovely and stunning November wedding, one we will always cherish.

This romantic storybook wedding in Seattle sparked our hearts! We love when couples add elements to the wedding day that really speak to them and their interests. This couple in particular were novel lovers, and they wanted that to be a part of their big day. The design for the stunning bridal bouquet included lush draping greenery and lovely white roses, anemones, and ranunculus. The bride chose to add lovely paper roses made from the pages of a loved novel! Taking place in the lovely brick walls of Axis Pioneer Square, the big day begins.

A Romantic Ceremony

The candle light aisle was filled with growing floral arrangements. We uniquely designed each aisle arrangements, creating a lush row of growing florals on either side of the aisle, each with candles tucked around it. A lush asymmetrical arch highlighted the ceremony space as the couple took their vows. Draping greenery creates the curves in the arch, creating a long trail around the couple as they stand. The greenery delicately laces around the lovely white roses and dahlias as the wispy scabiosa adds an airy texture to the installation. The couple shared their vows and kissed in front of their loved ones.

A Storybook Love Story

This storybook wedding in Seattle really took its theme during the reception. A love story themed seating chart! All of the guest names were printed on little books for guest to find their seats. We placed a lush floral arrangement on On The Wall Design Studio’s beautiful wooden seating chart. A growing floral arrangement decorated each table, lush and vibrant florals growing around stands and cnadles. The storybook theme didn’t end there, the table numbers were also printed on book pages and place on the tables. This wedding was a lovely day to add to this couples love story!

This absolutely gorgeous growing garden wedding was on a lovely Seattle summer day. Lush green trees enveloped the ceremony space as the rows of antique lounge seating by Vintage Ambiance filled the space. The aisle is lined with hundreds of lush white roses leading up to the front. Delicate strands on phales hang from the trees along side crystal chandeliers, surrounding the couple as they take their vows.

A Growing Garden Reception At The Olympic Rooftop

The Olympic Rooftop is transformed into an enchanted growing garden reception. We designed growing tress and hanging florals to fully transform the venue. Delicate strands of phales and moss hung from the ceiling, entangled with fairy lights.

Two of the main installations we designed were large trees, and the unique fireplace arrangment. The lovely growing trees had a dramatic and large visual impact in The Olympic Rooftop Pavilion. Designed with moss, greenery, and hanging white phales, these large hanging installations were absolute showstoppers. The guest names hung from the entrance tree branches, and the grabbed them as they made their way in. The lovely fireplace installation was a filled with dried leaves and dancing shapes from preserved florals. The vibrant white roses add a pop of fresh florals and really stood out as the fire flickered and the candles and lanterns light the installation.

This phenomenal and show stopping wedding was one to remember this Seattle summer. Unique, intimate, and personal in all of the right ways.

Emily and Will’s Elegant Chihuly Glasshouse Wedding

We love a vibrant summer wedding – especially if it’s held at the uber-elegant Chihuly Glasshouse in Seattle. Emily and Will chose a color palette for their wedding flowers that complemented the venue beautifully: various shaded of orange, hues of yellow, mixed with lush greenery. Locally grown summer garden flowers are available in abundance in August, and we used them happily throughout all their designs.

Emily’s lush garden bouquet contained roses, zinnias, cosmos, scabiosa, dahlias, and various textured pods and greens. It was such a pretty summer bouquet!

The Vibrant Summer Wedding Ceremony

Emily and Will’s ceremony was an elegant mix of lush garden greenery, glass candles, a chic clear lucite arch, and colorful summer garden flowers. The decorative focal point for their ceremony was a tall, clear lucite arch dripping with orange, peach, and coral flowers and lush greenery vines. We lined the aisle with glass hurricane candles, gold lanterns, floral planters, and attached greenery vines to some of the aisle chairs.

A Vibrant Wedding Reception

We love each and every time we get to work at the beautiful Chihuly Glasshouse in Seattle. There is so many ways to design an event that compliments the amazing glass art work in the ceiling. And this wedding was so fresh and colorful – it was a perfect design for summer! Neutral linens and gold Chivari chairs created the base and the colorful centerpieces and napkins added the cheerful pops of vibrant color. We loved how it all turned out!

Richa and Anish’s tropical peach wedding on Lake Washington was another favorite of ours from the summer of 2023. We love a beautiful Indian wedding and this couple included quite a few pretty details that were so fun to design. Vessels spilling over with fresh floral, a tropical greenery wall, garlands with fresh peach flowers, and more. Richa in a beautiful peach colored saree and Anish in a deep green, embroidered traditional jacket – this couple looked truly stunning.

A Peach Lakefront Ceremony

For the outdoor ceremony on the large Hyatt Hotel patio we incorporated peach and white floral with tropical accents like large palm leaves and banana leaves. For this tropical peach wedding on Lake Washington we designed a wooden mandap with large color-blocked floral clusters featuring roses, dahlias, snapdragon, lisianthus, and stock in shades of peach and white. Large monstera leaves, palm, leaves, and banana leaves added that tropical touch the couple wanted to achieve.

A Tropical Reception

And look at their beautiful reception! For the stage we created a large tropical greenery wall that served as gorgeous backdrop. More floral waterfall vessels and lanterns decorated the stage which served as gorgeous focal point during the reception. The dinner tables were more simple, yet elegant in style: lots of bud vases and candles decorated some of the tables, while other tables were adorned with tropical floral centerpieces. Champagne linens and gold Chivari chairs completed the look.

Cheryl and Manny’s wedding at the Chihuly Glass House in Seattle was a beautiful wedding with bursts of color. And it sure was an affair of classy, understated elegance. We provided textured floral in all white in a lush and tailored design style. The bouquets for the wedding party and the centerpieces included roses in creams and white, with white ranunculus, white dahlias and lisianthus, white astilbe, and white hanging amaranthus.

As it was a balmy warm summer day here in Seattle, the couple got married outside in the beautiful Chihuly glass garden, right in front of the gorgeous sun sculpture. With a stunning backdrop like that, no further floral embellishments were necessary. The large glass sun provided an impactful burst of color for their intimate ceremony.

A Starburst Chihuly Reception

When planning a wedding with bursts of color the little details count! Their beautiful reception in the Chihuly Glass House was an affair to be remembered. Glass table tops reflected the ceiling glass installation. As centerpieces we designed modern monochromatic floral in all white in black containers. These centerpieces provided a subtle yet striking accent. And white linens and clear lucite chairs added to the overall understated elegance of the evening. The small orange water goblets at each place setting added the perfect burst of color throughout. So pretty!

We loved the look of this event – what do you think?

This outdoor wedding took place on a perfect summer day at Vashon Field and Pond. A simple yet stunning lush white bouquet laced with greenery and blueberries to add a seasonal touch. The bouquet was designed with white roses, ranunculus, and airy whimsical greens to create a perfect garden bouquet. An outdoor garden wedding by the water was is always a great way to celebrate the summer weather. Clear sky and views of the mountains are some of the many perks of PNW summers, so why not take advantage of that!

A Ceremony On The Water

For the ceremony, we designed an asymmetrical arch with lush greenery and white florals. The arch was designed with fluffy white roses, whimsical delphiniums, and lush greenery. Both sides of the aisle entrance were decorated with a long row of floral arrangements, bringing in the same elements as the arch. The bride and groom held hands through the ceremony and gave a swooning kiss as they walked down the aisle.

A Perfect Summer Tent Reception

Though we had to fight the wind a little to get the greenery installations up in the tent, we love how it turned out! The greenery hanging installations were at the center of the tent above the guest tables. We placed white floral arrangements and candles along the rest of the reception tables. We designed a special floral garland for the head table which cascaded off either side and flowed on to the grass. This wedding was filled with thoughtful decor and meaningful touches. With decorative elements along the bar, dessert table, and seating chart, each element had a unique touch. This wedding was on a perfect summer day at Vashon Field and Pond, and we were thrilled to see this weddings vision come to life.
