A Wedding at Rainier Club Seattle

We were honored to design this stunning wedding ceremony for Claire & Luke at the historic Rainier Club in Seattle. The ceremony arch and aisle were like a walk to forever through florals, candlelight and autumn warmth. With the extra added highlight of a dramatic mirrored aisle runner.

The Heartfelt Ceremony at A Wedding at Rainier Club Seattle

The wedding ceremony at the historic Rainier Club in Seattle was a stunning blend of romance and refined fall elegance. Guests were welcomed into a space glowing with clusters of warm candlelight, creating an intimate atmosphere that felt both timeless and inviting. A mirrored aisle runner reflected the soft light and surrounding florals. It added a sense of depth and quiet drama as the couple made their way toward one another.

At the altar, an abundant fall floral arch framed the moment beautifully. We designed with layers of mocha, blush, terracotta, and subtle mustard-hued roses, accented by seasonal foliage and locally grown dahlias. The rich, earthy palette complemented the club’s historic interiors while celebrating the warmth of the season. Together, the thoughtful design and meaningful setting created a ceremony that felt romantic, elevated, and unmistakably Seattle. It was an unforgettable beginning to the celebration that followed.

An Evening of Rich Fall Hues, Candlelit Tables, and Floral Abundance

The wedding reception at The Rainier Club in Seattle unfolded as a romantic celebration steeped in rich fall tones and timeless elegance. The historic interiors provided a warm, sophisticated backdrop, allowing the design to feel both elevated and inviting. It was perfect for an evening filled with meaningful moments and celebration.

Each tabletop was thoughtfully styled with an elegant mix of taper candles set in glass chimneys and clusters of glowing hurricane candles. The candles cast a soft, golden light across the room. Floral design played with height and abundance, featuring lush low arrangements in compote vessels alongside dramatic tall centerpieces displayed on gold stands. This layered approach created visual interest while maintaining an intimate atmosphere for guests.

From the first toast to the final dance, the evening felt refined yet heartfelt. Therefore a perfect reflection of the couple and a stunning example of how The Rainier Club transforms into a truly unforgettable fall wedding reception.

It was a wedding where nothing felt overlooked—each detail layered with care, each moment infused with meaning—leaving a lasting impression not only on the couple, but on everyone lucky enough to witness it. We were so honored to be involved with the design for this wedding. We’re here to thoughtfully design the wedding or event you’ve always envisioned.

A Luxurious Engagement Party at Lake Washington

When this couple envisioned their dream engagement celebration, they chose the breathtaking shores of Lake Washington as their backdrop. This luxurious engagement party at Lake Washington perfectly showcased how floral design can transform a waterfront venue into an unforgettable experience.

We designed the evening’s centerpieces with a romantic palette of coral dahlias, blush roses, and deep burgundy blooms. These colors added warmth and elegance to each table. While floating candles created an intimate feeling with ambient light throughout the reception space.

An Elegant Birthday Bash at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Creating an elegant birthday bash, a night of blush and blooms, at The Fairmont Olympic was magical. A sophisticated affair that balanced youthful charm with timeless elegance. The romantic palette of soft pinks and creamy whites, perfectly complementing the hotel’s warm wood paneling and gilded accents. For the lounge area, delicate arrangements of roses centered the coffee tables. The warm amber lighting of chandeliers cast the most beautiful glow over our arrangements.

How can the real showstopper be the front of the space? The floral installation framing the entryway staircase. Hundreds of roses in varying shades of blush and cream created a lovely trial up to the foyer. We lined the stairway railings with lush garden roses, peonies, and ranunculus.

What made this event particularly special was honoring the transition from childhood to young adulthood. The floral design reflected this beautiful moment—sophisticated enough for the elegant venue, yet the fresh excitement of turning sixteen.

A Night of Blush & Bloom: Creating an Elegant Birthday Bash at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel

Transforming the Spanish Ballroom for an elegant birthday bash at The Fairmont Olympic Hotel was truly a canvas come to life. A dream-like garden for a sweet sixteen, a classic cream and blush palette perfectly complementing the venue’s timeless architecture.

Guests entered the Spanish Ballroom, greeted with plush white seating adorned with blush pillows. We designed statement floral arrangements for each lounge space. Each showcasing roses, peonies, and ranunculus in varying shades of pink, all nestled among lush greenery.

The ballroom’s magnificent chandeliers provided the perfect lighting, casting a warm glow over the celebration.

We live for these milestone celebrations as floral designers—creating spaces where memories are made and every petal tells part of the story. The Fairmont Olympic’s timeless elegance provided the perfect backdrop for a sweet sixteen that was both thoroughly modern and classically beautiful.

Wedding at the Fairmont Olympic

Wedding at the Fairmont Olympic: Lindsay & Erin

After a year and a half of wedding planning (thanks, pandemic!), Lindsay and Erin finally celebrated their wedding at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in grand style. This couple envisioned an elegant and softly traditional event, filled with flowers in shades of white, cream, and blush and lush garden greenery. For her bouquet, Lindsay opted for a modern ombre design of white and blush garden roses, sweet ranunculus and lisianthus, and soft pink larkspur. The groom and groomsmen in their black tuxes and bridesmaids in long pale silk gowns were elegance itself – just look at this beautiful wedding party!

A Romantic Ceremony in the Garden Room

The high ceilings and arched windows of the Fairmont Olympic’s Garden Room created a stunning backdrop for this wedding ceremony. And with such a grand backdrop, we knew we needed to create a ceremony arch worthy of such a space. The 12 foot tall tall lucite arch was topped with a bower of roses and soft greenery, and flanked on either side by large white urns filled with lush floral. Down the aisle, groupings of glass hurricane candles sparkled. A big shout-out to the team at Crimson Haze – their uplighting during the ceremony was the perfect finishing touch to send this ceremony over the top!

A Lavish Reception in the Spanish Ballroom

A stunning long head table surrounded by flowers anchored the reception space. A lush floral runner ran the length of the table and trailed off both ends. Creating a lovely backdrop behind the table, a set of four large white urns overflowed with flowers and greenery. The white tiered wedding cake, decorated with a cascade of blush and white roses and green leaves sat on its own round table, draped in gold linen. And throughout the room, round dinner tables featured a mix of low floral arrangements in gold compotes and towering tall arrangements set on fluted crystal vases.

Brittany and Alvin’s Elegant Arctic Club Wedding

Brittany and Alvin celebrated their oh-so elegant and romantic wedding at the iconic Dome Room at the Arctic Club Hotel in Seattle this past September. This gorgeous wedding was designed and produced in coordination with the fabulous team at New Creations Weddings.

The historic Dome Room was the perfect fit for this couple’s timeless, super-elegant style and their rich color palette of deep reds and navy blue with accents of blush, gold, and lush sage greens looked so classy there.

We used dahlias, roses, scabiosa, and anemones in rich burgundy, mixed with sage colors of eucalyptus greens, and blush tones. We created lush garden style arrangements in gold colored compote vases. The designs looked rich and vibrant on navy shantung linens, and paired with the gold vases and candle holders the look was so classy!

Beautiful Indian Wedding at Kiana Lodge

Anita and Ab were so lovely and certainly are not afraid of bold, bright colors! For their late spring Indian wedding we were able to include some of our favorite flowers, peonies, ranunculus and poppies! What a stunning bouquet they made!

The weather was not quite cooperating – it drizzled all day out at Kiana Lodge – but how could you be upset about that with such a fun wedding party and those cheerful colors surrounding you. We love these images by the ever so fabulous Shane Macomber!! I am especially in love with the pictures of the couple holding fun umbrellas!!

For the ceremony we scattered a lush bed of thousands of rose petals and lined the aisle with beautiful urn arrangements. Along with the talented gals at Perfectly Posh Events we were able to create a wedding that is a brightly colored feast for your eyes! One of our favorites this past spring!!
