Weddings in Woodinville - "A Walk thru Parisian Gardens"

March 01, 2024Guest User

This year we were lucky enough to get asked to be a part of one of the best wedding shows in the Northwest, Weddings in Woodinville. The theme was “A Walk thru Parisian Gardens” spearheaded by the lovely @perfectlyposhevents_danae. We wanted to design something around the beautiful fireplace at Chateau Lill, something that felt like an exquisite cafe garden escape in Paris. Mauve and lavender were the featured colors, which are some of Anthera’s favorites. Organic, flowy, romantic vibes. Our tablescape showcased 5 types of flowers, simple and elegant. We used lots of sweet peas, tulips, garden roses, ranunculus, lisianthks, hellebore, to name a few. So many amazing vendors helped with this event—all listed below. This was definitely a highlight of the year.

Italian Romance at the Corson Building

June 11, 2023Guest User

We loved creating these dreamy, romantic florals for Jenni and John at the enchanting Corson Building. The Corson was originally built as a home in 1926, but has now become one of Seattle most beloved restaurants and Italian Villa themed event venues. The gentle hues of light orange, delicate peach, and pure white infused the space with warmth and serenity. Against the backdrop of rustic elegance, the floral focal point was a hanging installation floating above the ceremony - a mesmerizing cascade of blooms suspended in midair from a fig tree. Amidst the historical charm of the Corson Building, these floral arrangements serve as a radiant expression of the couple's enduring love, creating an unforgettable ambiance for their special day.

Autumn floral vibes and a puppy!

March 30, 2021Melissa Cushman

Florals for our fall styled shoot featured a Monet of earthy fall tones and textures to compliment the beautiful green landscape of Trinity Tree Farm. With the clean, modern look of their lodge, we wanted to create an artful and whimsical floral backdrop to accompany the fairytale dress worn by the model. Shades of dusty rose, burnt orange, amber, honey, and mustard shown brightly in the warm light filled room. The table florals were purposefully paired down to accentuate the delightful details created for the tablescape. Our bride held a bouquet toting the season’s finest blooms and fall foliage, including dried bits and berries. The planners even brought along their adorable golden retriever puppy, who fit right into the shoot!

This Garden Arch Went Viral!

December 04, 2020Melissa Cushman

On a blissful rare occasion, I have the time to design my own styled shoot. An event that is floral forward, colorful, bold, and innovative. This styled shoot at the Jackson Street Studio in Pioneer Square, Seattle, ended up being just that. The theme was lush fall, mixing soft on-trend mauve and blush tones with vibrant corals, peaches, and bronze. Coral is one of my absolute favorite colors to work with, and there are so many good tones! I was inspired by two ingredients in particular—Romantic Antike garden roses and Maple leaves all sourced from SGM and Mayesh. The trick is getting Maple leaves at the exact right time in October—when they are the perfect blend of muted bronze, bright coral and mauve. Yes folks, maple can be alllll those colors at the same time! Fall foliage is so fun to work with, especially mixed with a little soft spring color action.

This shoot was also special because of the amazing team I got to work with. Shannon Beauclair was our stellar photographer, and she is literally one of the best in Seattle. Her main work is portraits, but she is all about experimenting with art and she and I have done several highly noted fine art shoots together. Her daughter, Dominique Beauclair was our makeup artist and she nailed the complimentary look with the flowers perfectly. The dress is none other than Dawson and Deveraux, who does some of the finest in Seattle. And finally, the star of our show, the incredibly beautiful Amour Benjamin who was our model. She truly brought this shoot to life.

The shoot was such a blast to create, and so greatly rewarding to have it go viral via IG, and featured by Florist’s Review Magazine, Ruffled Blog, as well as get to the cover of Washington Wedding Day.
