Natasha & Will - November 8, 2009

I can't believe this wedding was nearly a year ago! I'm so behind with this blog. I met Natasha through a friend and right away I knew I wanted to work on her wedding. Her colors were black, red and white and she was doing a vintage glamour theme. This totally resonated with me, as my own wedding had a vintage 1920's theme and also utilized a similar color scheme. Besides the specifics that she wanted feathers and red apples, I was given a lot of free range with the types of flowers and even the arrangements, so that was also really nice.

Here's the inspiration board (which I'm kind of in love with)-


The wedding was at The Laurelhurst Club, which is in the amazing Laurelhurst neighborhood and it has a great 1940's feel to it. Perfect for her wedding. Also fantastic because of the beautiful park right across the street for pictures! Here are a few shots from the wedding.

We did both tall and low centerpieces that used Red Delicious apples and cranberries in the vases and a special "head table" centerpiece with a gorgeous silver candelabra that had a feather boa wrapped around the base.

I did a special wrap for her bouquet using black fringe to give it reference to a "Flapper" dress. It turned out really cool. For her bouquet we did red Amaryllis with white Ostrich feathers. Amaryllis are so beautiful, but a little difficult to work with because of their head size. Each of her bridesmaids carried a single stem of the "peppermint" Amaryllis that is white with red stripes.

This wedding was a lot of fun to work on and I was so happy with how it turned out and even happier that Natasha and her family loved the flowers as well. Congrats you two! Wish you the best.
