Newlyweds Watching A Private Fireworks Display During A Luxury Wedding Celebration In The English Countryside. A Dramatic Evening Moment Designed To Close The Celebration With Atmosphere, Energy And Unforgettable Views Beneath The Summer Sky.

A Playful Yet Elevated Poolside Setting For A Luxury Wedding Weekend In Sicily, Blending Bold Italian Design, Mediterranean Gardens And Relaxed Hospitality For International Guests.

An Outdoor Reception Set Above The Amalfi Coastline, Where Every Element Is Placed To Hold The View Rather Than Compete With It. Florals Are Kept Low And Abundant, Allowing Conversation To Move Easily Across The Table. Height Is Introduced Through Candelabras, Drawing The Eye Upward Without Closing The Space. Nothing Feels Overcrowded, Yet Nothing Is Missing. The Balance Is Deliberate. Guests Remain Connected To Each Other, And To The Setting, Throughout The Evening. This Is How I Approach Destination Weddings In Italy. Not Just How A Table Looks, But How It’s Experienced. 

A Reception Designed To Have Attention From The Moment Guests Walk In. Live Music Is Introduced Before The Room Settles. Not As Background, But As Direction. It Sets The Tone, Carries The Transitions, And Keeps The Energy Exactly Where It Needs To Be. What Looks Effortless Is Structured. Every Shift In The Evening Is Intentional, So Nothing Drops And Nothing Needs Recovering. This Is How I Approach Multi-day Weddings Across Italy, The Uk And Europe. 

There’s Something So Timeless About A Summer Wedding By The Water, Especially When It’s Surrounded By Soft Blooms And The Gentle Shimmer Of Lake Washington. Jen And Kevin Were Married At The Woodmark Hotel In Kirkland, A Venue That Already Feels Like A Hidden Garden Tucked Right Along The Waterfront, With Hydrangeas Blooming Around Every Corner.their Floral Vision Was All About Romance And Softness, With Delicate Pastel Tones And Draping Greenery That Brought A Fairytale-like Air To The Day. For Their Florals, I Designed With Peach Lisianthus, Pink Phlox, Peach Scabiosa, Apricot Cosmos, And Quicksand Roses A Combination That Felt Graceful And Light. My Favorite Detail Was Jen’s Colorful Bouquet, Dancing With Sweet Peas. It Felt Playful, Romantic, And Full Of Fluttery Texture.what Made This Day Especially Memorable For Me Was The Couple Themselves. Jen And Kevin Were So Kind And Easy To Talk To, And Our Connection Felt Effortless From The Start. Since The Woodmark Is Such An Intimate Venue, We Kept Seeing Each Other Throughout The Morning As I Set Up. It Was Incredibly Special To Catch Glimpses Of Their Reactions In Real Time And To See Their Faces Light Up As The Florals Came Together. Moments Like That Remind Me Why I Love What I Do. If You’re Dreaming Of A Romantic Pastel Waterfront Wedding In Seattle, I’d Love To Bring Your Floral Vision To Life.
