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.
