Spring is nearly sprung and we're thrilled with the prospect! We are relieved to see that the longer and warmer days are drawing nearer. We've been planning up a storm all winter for our 2018 (and even a few '19) clients and we've been asked by our clients if we have a stylish menswear vendor. The answer is a big emphatic YES. We've been working with The Black Tux for years now, and we love them…
Read MoreThe venue. This is one of the most important elements in the planning process to get right. Each venue has different features, different rules, costs, and different ways of operating. In an ideal world, when planning a wedding, you'd have a planner to guide you through the process of venue selection from the get-go. They would know which venues would be more likely to be in alignment with your needs and desires…
Read MoreIt's almost Valentines Day. We're big fans of using the occasion to spread the love to those we care about. Call us cliche, but in our book, beautiful flowers are NEVER a passé gift. At the end of last year, we finished off the wedding season with a floral arranging team brunch to thank everyone for their love and effort. The talented Megan from Flourish Floral Design…

Read MoreCalling all procrastinating holiday shoppers! We've got your back. We put together a last minute gift guide of hot ticket items that can still be delivered to your door in time for Christmas (and save you braving the holiday madness in stores). You'd better hurry though, many of these have a holiday shipping cutoff midday Wednesday-Thursday…
Read MoreHappy Monday! Most of us spent the weekend getting our holiday vibes on: buying trees, shopping for gifts, and all that jolly stuff. GATHER girl Meredith was on a different sort of holiday trip altogether, she was in Dubai in the midst of United Arab Emirates's National Day celebrations…
Read MoreEngagement season is officially kicking off! We've been seeing more than a few ring pictures and happy couples as of late. Before planning gets underway, we'd love to take a few minutes to share our two cents about the value of doing engagement photo shoots...
Read MoreHappy Friday all! Is it just us, or is Thanksgiving sneaking up quickly this year? No? Some of us are hosting a big spread and have been on the hunt for inspiration for good recipes, tablescape ideas, and fun to spoil our folks with. We thought we’d share our Turkey Day Game Plan with you! Whether you’re still working on yours or you like collecting ideas as much as we do, we hope you enjoy!...
Read MoreOMG, yay! You’re getting married! You’ve said yes, you’ve shared with all your family and friends the great news and maybe even that proposal or ring pic on social media, and now all of a sudden those questions of who, what, where, when and how are starting to bubble up. You may be thinking that you could use some guidance...
Read MoreWhen you meet a new kid on the block, the nicest thing to do is to introduce the kid to all your friends right?! Well when Rigoletto opened up in Seattle's South Lake Union, we LOVED the space, pasta, and cocktails so we decided to tell all our friends about the cool little spot we found. The restaurant is that sublime mix of modern and old world that left us entirely inspired...
Read MoreHappy #weddingwednesday ! This week we are thrilled to (finally!) bring you a collaboration we did with an awesome team of Seattle designers that was featured on Green Wedding Shoes last week. The styled summer solstice photo shoot loosely draws inspiration from the heavenly bodies of the sun, moon and stars in an organic, luxurious fashion...
Read MoreTGIF ya’ll, we’ve got some travel inspiration fun factor on the blog today! GATHER girl Meredith is off to Barcelona, so we did a little recon work and put together a packing list inspired by the Spanish city, home of Gaudi and Catalan modernism.
