Bellingham's Bridal Inspirations show just wrapped up with another great year of vendors and new brides.  This year our booth focused on the trend of white and blush tones, a very romantic look that we love to do.  Here are some images from the show:


We brought one of our pillars, used for ceremonies.  They are salvaged pillars from a craftsman style house that was being torn down.  Talk about a real vintage piece! The table was covered in 12 layers of tulle, in three shades.  When fluffed up, it gave a real etherial look to the table.  Would be great idea for a sweetheart table.


Our escort card display featured our business cards with an orchid for each guest to pin in their hair.  It was fun to look in the audience during the fashion show and see so many people with flowers in their hair.


A collection of vintage vases, cut glass and milk glass, were clustered to show the trend of using multiple vessels with small arrangements of flowers. Mercury glass votive candles added a nice warm glow.


The bridal bouquet, photographed the next day outside, was a very romantic style.  Using roses in white and buff colors, accent flowers in white were incorporated to add texture and fragrance.  The stems were wrapped in a moss green silk ribbon with a vintage bracelet wrapped around as a nice vintage touch.

I so love talking with brides at shows, when they are so thrilled to be newly engaged and just planning their weddings.  Everyone is so happy and excited to be there! Looking forward to a great wedding season helping many of these brides with their wedding flowers.

Baker Lake is a favorite place for our family to camp, with the gorgeous mountain views and trails to hike.  So I was excited to hear a bride was planning her wedding there, at the lodge.  All the couples family and friends could stay at the lodge, making for a fun filled weekend of celebrations.


The brides colors were bright orange and teal.  One of her favorite flowers is lily. The bride bouquet is on the left and a bridesmaid bouquet on the right.

The bridesmaid bouquets were all orange, including dahlias, roses and lilies.


The ceremony was set on a patio next to the lodge. A bit hard to see, but we created an arch of flowers for the bride and groom to stand under.  The bride had several pillars that we topped with vases fill of flowers.


A closer view of the arch, covered in greens, dahlias, lilies and roses.  There is a pond behind the arch in which we floated dahlias.


The pathway leading the the patio was lined with shepherd hooks.  We hung vases full of dahlias and greens.

For the reception, the bride had multiple vases that have candle holders attached at the top. We placed small floral arrangements inside the vases, like little vignettes.  They were very fun to make!

The Lairmont Manor in Bellingham is one of my all time favorite venues for weddings. The stunning architecture and gorgeous gardens made for a beautiful backdrop to this past weekends wedding. The bride choose the color coral for her bridesmaid dresses, pairing with cream and chocolate accents. The wedding style was romantic, with lace and collections of cut and milk glass vases.


The brides bouquet on the left and a bridesmaid bouquet on the right.  Both the same color pallet of coral, pale pink and cream but featuring different flowers.  Bridal bouquet received garden rose and bridesmaids features dahlias.


Closer look of the brides bouquets garden roses. They smelled so amazing!  Wrapped the stems with chocolate ribbon and a lace overlay.


The ceremony site was kept simple, with a few florals added to the aisle chairs.  In colors of coral and pale pink, flowers used were dahlias.


Reception tent is were the romantic style really shone.  The tables were covered in chocolate linens with a lace runner.  Each table received a trio of vases in various heights and styles, with a collection of flowers in each.  


Closer look at a table centerpiece. Tall vase held a single dahlia in pale pink.  Mid-sized vase received a collection of flowers, including roses and stock.  Small vases held a single coral garden rose.


The main room of the Lairmont Manor is two stories high, with a massive fireplace.  Often used for dancing in the evening, my preferred way to decorate the room is placing candles on the mantle.  We floated candles in various tall cylinder vases, then placed tons of mercury glass votive candles around the base.  The look was very romantic, a great balance to the room.

A beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple.  I so enjoyed working with the bride and wish them both much happiness in their future!
