Goddesses of the Garden: A Culinary and Floral Event

‘Twas a wet day in March when the Goddess’ of the Garden gathered together and made beauty in a greenhouse. Sarah Simon aka The Mint Gardener, and Ashley Rodriguez dreamed up this wonderful event in celebration of another year of life as well as their book releases. As trickling drops of rain poured down the greenhouse glass, we had the honor of adorning the floor as well as the entryway with lush floral provided by The Floral Compass.

Our favorite part of this installation was when Sarah showed us a truck bed of full of enormous, blossoming tree branches she had foraged. We tucked the trees into each corner of the greenhouse, creating an atmosphere of magic and coziness that fairies and woodland creatures would reside in. The focal point of the greenhouse featured a standing dining table for friends to dance, laugh and mingle around. Gorgeous tableware provided by Holcomb Studio was surrounded by seafoam green glass and gold candlesticks, velvet shells, and fresh linens by Meema.co. Delicious food was prepared by our very own Ashley. As the sun began to fade, the twinkling light from our glass pillar candles lit the way for the goddesses to dance long into the night.

Weddings in Woodinville - "A Walk thru Parisian Gardens"

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

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.

Dreamy Dresses

This beautiful styled shoot shot by our friend Marissa at Haven Photo Co, was put together by The Dress Theory in Seattle. The adorable bridal shop wanted to showcase some of their exquisite wedding dresses against a floral mirror backdrop—enter Anthera Floral. This floral installation was super fun to make. It’s always nice when a client gives us full authority on the design, and lets us run wild with creativity! We went with an etherial, soft, spring, branchy look with lots of ranunculus, stalk, caramel carnations, babies breath and larkspur. The shoot was a favorite from start to finish!
