A Summer Fiesta

This summer I was so fortunate to work with two extremely talented architects on their wedding day. Steph and Geoff were inspired by the bright colors in the Mexican flags and the natural beauty at the farm. It really set the tone for a perfectly colorful fiesta.

The wedding was at Fall City Farms and Deborah couldn’t have been better to work with. Most of the flowers were also from the farm and arranged by Deborah. The Organic Table delighted us with beautiful passed tapas and a scrumptious taco bar. Renata from Nataworrycaptured the lovely images, she really works her tail off! My favorite detail of the entire wedding though would have to be the cake. Steph’s mom not only made the best stout cake, but hand drew the amazing topper. It so perfectly captured the essence of their day. Oh, and don’t forget the always awesome Ari Joshua and his hand picked band.

Back in the swing…and so excited!

I have been MIA for a few months and I’m so excited to have carved a little time to nurture my creative side. I have done a few weddings this summer, slowly getting back into things. It has been a perfect amount but I’m really excited to hit it hard next summer.

I’m working on posting my first wedding for Steph and Geoff. They are owners/architects of a green design build company so I knew their wedding would be full of details. I love details and I wasn’t disappointed. Stay tuned…to tide you over here are their engagement pics. I think the sculpture park was the perfect venue to capture their passion and personalities. I love the work Renata did!

As promised, here’s the pic out of the Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom.

These succulent favors were placed in a cute square container I wrapped in birch veneer. I added a raw silk ribbon and finished it all off with a wax seal. I loved how they combined simple elegance with natural elements.

Melissa O’Hearn took the awesome photos for the shoot. She did a great job!

When Laura from Seattle Metropolitan Bride asked me to make a favor for the “True Colors” feature in the latest issue I jumped at the chance. I brainstormed ideas that would incorporate the color scheme (pale pink, gold, pearl, silver, ivory) but wanted something living, elegant and completely original. I came up with two different ideas and waited patiently to see which one they chose for the feature.

Yesterday I was gleeful to see my issue of Seattle Metropolitan Bride in the mailbox. I ran inside and flipped through until I found Paprika’s name on page 26. They used the succulent favor and I couldn’t be more proud. Don’t wait to go pick up your issue — it’s a GOOD one!!! So many of my favorite vendors are featured, it’s full of beautiful inspiration.

Stay tuned for pics….
