You Are My Sunshine

Janet of Janet Klinger Photography is a talented artist who also was voted Best Photographer in the Reader Poll in the Best of 2008 issue of Seattle Bride Magazine.  She came to our wedding event, Urban Unveiled, and took some great shots of our tabletop design.  We had so much fun working with this bright color!  In lieu of menu cards, we had 4 round pieces of paper on the dinner plates designed by Sheryl of Paper Moxie that spelled out “you”  “are”  “my”  “sunshine,” a romantic and quirky nod to the sunny hue.  We also couldn’t resist having some lemonheads on the table, and neither could the guests…they were almost gone by the end of the night!

Our tabletop design inspired by two of the seasons hot colors – Yellow & Gray (we collaborated with Flora Nova Designs, Paper Moxie, BBJ Linen, and Pedersen’s Rentals to create the look)

Ann & Yuki

Ann & Yuki are one of our fabulous 2008 couples and we are happy to share some of the photos from their big day.  Sarah of Sarah Rhoads Photo is always a joy to work with, and she beautifully captured the essence of the couple and their event. This fun duo held an intimate affair at the ever-chic Canlis restaurant with a multi-course to-die-for menu that included melt-in-your-mouth steak and perfectly grilled lobster.  Ann had never eaten lobster before, and decided that she wanted to have it for the first time on her wedding night.  She loved it!  Just like the lobster, the entire evening was a hit.  We had so much fun designing the event with Ann & our great partners.  Flora Nova Designs created insipring architectural flower arrangements, and Paper Moxie supplied beautiful invitations, menus, place cards, and more.  At the end of the night, guests were given boxes of Theo Chocolate truffles to enjoy.

Urban Unveiled a Red Carpet Hit!

It’s hard to believe that Urban Unveiled took place one week ago tonight!  It was an incredible evening full of visual and culinary delight.  Rented Elegance helped us capture the vision of Hollywood glamour throughout Benaroya Hall, PNTA provided fantastic lighting, and Wolfgang Puck, Tom Douglas, and Herban Feast provided treats galore.  Luly Yang held an incredible fashion show right on the iconic stage of Taper Auditorium, home of the Seattle Symphony.  You can visit the Urban Unveiled website to see the listing of all of the incredible vendors who took part in the show, as well as the amazing raffle items that were given away.  We will have some great pictures for you to check out in the near future.

Margaret & Brian’s engagement photo session

One of our fabulous 2009 couples, Margaret & Brian, recently had their engagement photo session.  While summer was not that long ago, looking at these pictures of our supermodel couple has us longing for the sunshine season.  Margaret and Brian are working with one of our favorite photographers, Redstone Pictures.  Cass and Jess of Redstone Pictures are a fun and energetic duo who have the ability to capture stylish pictures that also have a wonderful timeless quality to them.  With their amazing personalities, its easy to see how they put such smiles on our couples faces!

Heather & Chris

Heather and Chris are one of our fabulous 2008 couples who recently got married at Olympic Sculpture Park. This couple made us smile every time we saw them. These world travelers who are planning to move back to Australia beam with joy and it was such a pleasure to assist them with their wedding.

Brides & grooms come to us with all sorts of ideas when it comes to what they want their wedding to look like, but we’ve never had a more interesting source of inspiration from a couple. Heather & Chris supplied us with an Hermes advertisement that featured elephants with pink and orange painted toenails.

From there, they gave us carte blanche to design the entire event! Thrilled with the challenge, we quickly teamed with the amazing Lea of Florarama Modern Design to create breathtaking floral designs that had a richness of Indian textiles in their vibrant colors.

Sean Patrick O’Reilly officiated the very personal and touching ceremony that included releasing butterflies…a couple of which decided to hang around on Heather’s amazing white and blue Badgley Mischka dress.  In addition to the chairs that were provided, Heathers own mom even sewed pillows for seating during the ceremony.

The couple wanted a cocktail party vibe for the reception, so we used traditional and cocktail tables in a variety of sizes and alternated striking fuchsia and orange sequin stitch table linens from Pedersen’s Rentals to infuse additional richness and whimsy into the event.

We also obtained some great furniture from Rented Elegance to create comfortable seating areas within the event.

Sean with Seattle Parties provided incredible music that set the tone for the reception perfectly.  TASTE Events had a variety of food stations set up around the space that delighted the taste buds and encouraged mingling.  For sweets the couple opted for a variety of cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes in lieu of a traditional wedding cake.  The stunning event was all captured by Stephanie Cristalli, an award winning photographer who captured the colors of the day, and the colors of their inspiring love.  We’ll miss Heather & Chris when they move, but now we have a great excuse to go to Australia!
