Youth Fundraising Dinner Church Gym Decor

This was a church fundraising event we did the decor and floral for! We tried to keep it fairly simple and we were amazed and how beautiful the church gym turned out. Take a peek!

Our Grand Entrance
Simple but very effective room decor makes the gym look like an upscale venue!

Elegant Table Linens in Wisteria purple

This was a fun flower job! I love all the gorgeous colors and variety of flowers available in the spring! These were cake plate arrangements.

A White Hydrangea arrangement is gorgeous!

Beautiful Barn Wedding

Life gets busy, busy, busy...especially when you are in the Wedding and Design industry! But I love doing what I do. I really should hire someone else to keep up with this blog, but somehow I always think it will just take a few minute. Today it took more than a few minutes just to remember my log in info! Crazy how time gets away from us and my memory seems to be running right along side of it! So I'll cut to the chance and post one of my recent weddings.

 I've done lots of barn weddings, but this barn was truly amazing! It was at an Alpaca Farm in Helvatia OR and truly a site to behold!
 I swear it would survive a category 5 hurricane! A massive two+ story with 16 feet high beams and cross bars made for an amazing backdrop to the globe light ceiling. 
White curtains greeted the guests and they entered the barn to view over sized black & white prints of the bride and groom....stunning!
We kept the table decor pretty simple with white linens, burlap runners and simple arrangements in vintage blue mason jars but added the elegance with vintage mirror plateau's and surrounded them with a multitude of candles.

 I  and did the food display with a base of vintage crates and growers boxes vintage blue glass containers and candles.

 Just the perfect balance of elegance and rustic don't you think! But this little guy was the icing on the cake! He kept peeking through the door during our set up to check on our progress! So cute!

Gorgeous Milk Glass Wedding

Milk Glass is one of my favorite styles of vintage glassware. You could say it has become a fetish! My hutch is full of it and I love using in for weddings! I thought this wedding turned out just gorgeous done in soft or blush versions of Peach and Yellow. 

Love this little handled basket!

       

I love the variety and shapes available!


          

Just had to show how we finished the decor for this wedding. It's amazing how you can transform a gym to look like an elegant venue! I just love that challenge!



Big over sized flowers add a focal point and a dedicated place for the bridal party to greet guests. 

       

Totally yummy and the deserts look fantastic too!






Totally Dreamy Bouquet!

Vintage Wedding...A Match Made In Heaven!

You could say, this was a match made in Heaven! I LOVE vintage! Junking is one of my favorite hobbies and I love being a vendor in a couple of shows each year. So I just about did back flips when this bride was describing her vision for her wedding. Needles to say, this was one of my favorites! Colors were Wisteria, Rose and Ivory. Each of the 28 tables had one of a kind centerpieces, a combo of vintage pieces and beautiful flowers. Love, Love, Love it!

Welcome to the Reception!

Have a Beautiful Day!

It's About Time!


Many of my friends, clients and designers would say, "it's about time" I got around to starting this blog. I've been going to do it for years, but somehow I am always working on another project...which it a good thing in my business! We are snowed in here in Portland so now is the perfect time!

 My hope for this blog is to keep it simple, post mostly photos that clients and potential clients can use to preview my work, and be a resource for wedding world at large. I'm a bit rusty remembering how blogger works so hang on while I re-learn the form and functions again. I hope we both enjoy the journey!
Have a beautiful day!
