Inviting Harvest Aesthetic in Floral-Forward Autumnal Wedding Day at Asian Art Museum

Introduced by mutual friends, Lexi Hamill and Greg Socha fell in love over their enjoyment of great food and conversation. When Lexi decided to start her floral business, Kinetic Botany, she knew that Greg would be there to stand by her side through it all. Embracing their deep love of art, the couple chose to host an intimate gathering at the Seattle Asian Art Museum and wed in front of the architectural glass exterior. Though they sought to avoid a harvest aesthetic, they were greatly inspired by the splendor of a Pacific Northwest fall and its vibrant, wild color scheme. Crafted by the bride herself, the floral designs were bright with an assortment of marigolds, lisianthus, gomphrena, scabiosa and dried hops—a staple of the Pacific Northwest. Inside, an explosion of color graced the tablescapes from the lilac taper candles and citrusy-orange table numbers to the chic maroon menus and escort cards. When they weren’t dancing or dining, guests were invited to enjoy a peaceful tour of the museum or kickback on the cozy seating vignette surrounded by repurposed ceremony florals. As the night progressed, the newlyweds wore a smile as they cut their two-tiered, soft-orange and white pumpkin cake adorned with cream cheese frosted florals, a beautiful creation by one of their local favorites, Lady Grey Cake Design. Reflecting on her nontraditional design, Hamill advises brides not to be afraid of color because: “Flowers should be fun, so have fun with them.”
