NW Budget Brides Wedding Show














My friend and collegue, Eileen O'Neill-Pardo had a booth at the North West Budget Brides inaugrural wedding show this past Sunday and I went along to help with set up and to spell her when she needed a potty break...


We had the models from the bridal show do a bit of modelling for us!


In true Grace Ormonde-style, the guys got to strut their stuff with some Modern Mood Design bouquets in hand.

Carleta and Jeff's Wedding at Trophy Lake Golf Club

















When Carleta and I met for her first floral consultation she said she had admired the bride's bouquet with feathers that I had showcased at the West Sound Wedding Show in January, that was a great starting point for me as a designer. We discussed shape and size, added her wedding color palate of red and champagne, flower choises of roses and stargazer lilies and we had the makings of a beautiful bouquet.

On the day of the wedding, the Jeff's sister's baby and one of the flower girls were placed in the red wagon and pulled down the aisle ahead of Carleta scattering white rose petals everywhere! Just beautiful...

Mary and Keith's Wedding at the Four Seasons











I worked with Eileen O'Neill-Prado of Modern Mood Designs on this wedding and had so much fun! The bridal party colors were eggplant, copper and white and the bouquets had an ethereal feel to them. The table centerpieces were a reflection of the beautiful Pacific Northwest style.
Mary and her bridesmaids just loved their bouquets!

Heather and Dan's Wedding at the Yacht Club

















"We are finally tying the knot after 8 years, 1 house, 2 kids, 3 cars,a boat and a camper"!
When Dan sent me the link to their wedding web site and I read this, I just knew this was going to be a fun couple to work with. No fuss, no drama and a whole lot of laughter!
Heather asked me to design a classic bridal bouquet for her and mentioned "if possible, with some stephanotis in it". This was a indeed a classic bouquet with white roses, peach and tangerine ranunculus and some beautiful white stephanotis nestled gently in between.

Dana & Kory's Wedding at The Olympic Lodge















































Kory had just arrived back from active duty in Iraq when we met to discuss flowers for their wedding! Dana was so organized, she knew exactly what she wanted for the foyer statement piece, tall white branches with pink spray roses and crystal accents and gerbera daisies for the bouquets and boutonnieres!
