Destination weddings are always a special opportunity for couples to have a memorable experience with their friends and family in a place and setting that is special. Caitlin and Colin wanted to create a welcoming and fun celebration in the woods with their family and friends. With a high focus on guest experience and beautiful design, we created a day that was uniquely them with modern design, live music, a ceremony in the trees, and…
Read MoreA number of us LA vendors decided to blow off some post wedding season steam by throwing the most fun party of the year: the annual DART Collective ‘Party Down’ holiday shindig. The theme was wild and challenged us to unearth the most fun and conceptual elements of the late 80’s and early 90’s aesthetic, and present them in a way that was nostalgically rad and yet not entirely dated…
Read MoreWe love an excuse to create beauty and great experiences for people. In January we had the opportunity to do both, this time for the Art of Wedding PDX’s Venue Crawl. A group of us creatives designed a mock wedding at the Redd on Salmon in downtown Portland. With bright pops of pastel mint and bubble gum pink in modern designs, we created a fun juxtaposition to the urban industrial feeling of the venue…
Read MoreWhen we sat down to plan this styled shoot, we knew we wanted to aim for something visually striking and even a touch avant garde. Our initial inspiration came from the bold use of colors and playful monochromatic palettes we found in high-fashion shoots and product styling campaigns.

Read MoreAs planners, it's only natural that we'd say this, but when it comes to aesthetically pleasing events: it's all about the details. Details impart feelings, intention, history, giving your guests not only a wonderful experience but a glimpse into your realm, the things that make you tick. We had a wonderful time planning for Steph and Andrew who were keen to hone in on the details at their Bel Air Bay Club wedding in fall of 2016...
Read MoreSpring 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 MoreHappy Friday friends! Hopping on the #flashbackfriday bandwagon today, for a glimpse of warmer days last summer. Courtney and Carl tied the knot at the family digs on the water outside the city. The garden and tree filled beachside property was a wonderful backdrop for their fun filled day. Their details and flowers were romantic and the food and music were on point…
Read MoreOregon couple Meng and Max celebrated their marriage beneath a woodsy canopy that was heavenly to behold. Hazelwood Photo embraced every natural backdrop (yes, that includes towering waterfalls and lakeside cliffs!) and Floral Sunshine was there to spruce up the bridal party with flower crowns for all…
Read MoreIt's hot in the city with this Seattle wedding! Fyfy +Viet wanted an urban celebration that channelled a bit of swag and a lot of fun for their crew of friends and family to enjoy to the max. We opted for a roaming reception at WIthin Sodo with its eclectic multiple spaces including a rooftop overlooking the stadiums and Seattle skyline. Going full Pacific Northwest fusion from Madres Catering…
Read MoreWe look forward to the Dart Party each year because it presents us with the unique opportunity to design without limits. This year, Jesse and Michael from Dart Collective really upped the ante with their idea for a “Cosmic Folk” themed party inspired by their latest ensemble, the Jensen Singers. After a lot of creative soul searching about how “Cosmic Folk” translates into decor and signage…
Read MoreHappy #weddingwednesday! Today we bring you a sweet inspiration shoot that we did last winter in collaboration with Semiahmoo Resort and an awesome team of Northwest designers and vendors.
