My name is Seattle and I’m up for adoption with Magnificent Mutts Rescue. I’m a gorgeous brindle mix breed that is extremely smart, house-trained and friendly with every dog I meet. I love kids and want to be part of a family. I love to snuggle and play in my backyard.

We used altered fabric from the gown to create fabric flowers to embellish the bridal bouquet

White Hydrangea with Phalaenopsis Orchids, Peonies, fabric rosettes and bleached Peacock feathers

I love this image…..had to share it with you

The bride and groom after the first glance.

The gorgeous wedding party

I had to include this one too. The ladies to the left are both siblings of Talia.

Peach Calla Lilies with bleached Peacock feathers in lieu of foliage.

The ceremony was at sunset after the cocktail hour.

The aisle was lined with arrangements of assorted Moss, sandblasted Manzanita branches.

Our handy carpenter created the wood boxes. We then topped them off with assorted Moss, Orchid blossoms and bleached Peacock feathers. The sandblasted Manzanita was gorgeous in the ballroom due to the vaulted ceilings. Overall, a simple style but with a big presence.

The tables were marked by the scrabble letters created by the bride(and placed on our easels).

Natural Manzanita branches with Mokara and Cymbidium Orchid blossoms.

Cutting cake and cupcakes topped off with bobble-head humor.

The cake display was also designed and created by the bride. The scrabble theme is repeating itself here and we love it!

These were the adorable markers on the head table. Again, made by Talia!

Congratulations to Talia and Noel.

A big thanks to those that helped make this day amazing!
