Hey folks! The holidays are almost here, and boy oh boy, have we been busy little elves! We had a blast last weekend with our Dart Collective pals putting on our annual collaborative holiday party for our amazing vendor friends. It thrills us to no end to not only help bring this 'office party' to fruition every year, but to work along side such amazing and talented people…
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 Wednesday! Today we're sharing something that is near and dear to us. This shoot will always have a special place in our hearts as it was the very first thing that we designed together as business partners. The inspiration was organic minimalism brought to life through delicate florals, earthy toned Heath ceramics and a mix of marble and copper accents. For the tablescape...
Read MoreWhat a retreat (emphasis on the treat), it was recently featured on Rue Magazine. We stayed in a midcentury AirBnB in downtown Palm Springs, where we each had the swaggiest of swag bags (monogrammed no less) waiting for us on our beds. We savored lovingly catered meals by Katy of My Dearest Waton, including a candlelit dinner on the patio, smoothie bowl bar, and delectable nibbles galore...
Read MoreIt's no big secret, wedding season is a crazy time for vendors. So, what did we decide to do between back to back weddings?! Throw a party of course! No, we are not suicidal, but we have found that the best way to recharge the self care batteries (besides sleep) is to surround yourself with your peeps! So, in an effort to show a little love and have a little fun- we decided that a "friendor mixer' was the thing to do…
Read MoreTo kick off our new west coast wide launch of GATHER Events, we held a champagne brunch styled shoot in Seattle. We captured the elements of the Pacific Northwest using cool moody blues and greens offset by warm toned metals and organic textures for a Seattle inspired tablescape...
Read MoreWe had the honor of helping our pals, Jennelle and Dwalu, with their intimate SoCal Wedding. The couple craved a cozy, laid-back vibe that represented them and that was the opposite of a traditional “wedding” venue. Casa Shelter Half, a private residence in the heart of Venice, had just what they were looking for and more. When they laid their eyes on the balcony that overlooks Abbot Kinney Blvd., just steps away from the restaurant where they had their first date, they knew they had found their perfect location.
Read MoreBoy, do we love a good brunch! But you know what's even better? Planning and designing a brunch event with Jillian of 100 Layer Cakelet to celebrate the amazing mama-to-be Lisa from The Wedding AC and using it as an excuse to hang with some of the coolest, most creative ladies in town. So yeah, that's pretty much a win, win, win, win in our book. We rounded up some of our stellar friendors to help us bring Jillian's vision of a boho baby shower brunch to life and we'd say it was a great success.
