Carl and Rachelle ~ 09.22.2012


I met the bride, Rachelle, when I worked with her mother at a florist shop ten years ago. Rachelle would help out at the shop during busy holidays and we would work together in the back room mass producing arrangements.  Since then we have become good friends and when Rachelle started thinking about her wedding plans she asked me if I would help her out in exchange for a lifetime of free hair care services.  The wedding was a magical and romantic early fall celebration held at a local park.  The all-white ceremony was followed by a candlelit reception with two 100 foot dinner tables and hundreds of candles hanging from the canopy of walnut trees overhead.  A big "Thank you" to all my assistants and helpers for all of their generous help....because of their help we were able to pull off this perfect evening!

Brodie and Amy ~ 09.08.2012

If it weren't for my one of my assistant's cutting her foot and having to go to the emergency room to have it sewn up, I probably wouldn't have booked this wedding.  Amy happened to be the one to sew up her foot and found out that my assistant worked for a wedding planner and Amy happed to be looking for a planner for her upcoming wedding.  I met Amy and Brodie and their family last fall and started on a planning journey not soon to be forgotten.  After many late night meetings and many, MANY changes :), we finally made it to the wedding.  The bride wanted a rustic, organic, natural look with a touch of class and elegance.  It was fun to design the unique decor and flowers that were perfect for this occasion. This was definitely a Oregon wedding that was experienced and enjoyed by all the guests!
