By the Sea
The horizon beyond the Pacific coast, with its dazzling hues of rolling blues, sunset corals and yellows, is reflected in the soft tones of this invitation suite by Enora Creative Co. and brightly feminine blooms from Anthera Floral. The Pacific’s beaches, strewn with driftwood and smoothed stones, tell millennia-long tales of the ocean encountering the land. Marine life flourishes here, from the majestic whales breaching in the distance to the delicate, colorful anemones in tide pools.
For this styled shoot, we took the MODERN SEA inspiration and chose flowers with soft and flowy TEXTURES — ones that made us feel the movement of WIND and WAVES.

Mountain High
Washington’s mountain views inspired the tranquility of Sablewood Paper Company's textured invitation suite. The Cascade Range, crowned by the imposing Mount Rainier, stands as a testament to the timeless beauty of the natural world, with wildflowers dotting the meadows in a riot of color, inspiring the “romantic colors of a Pacific Northwest sunset” bouquet by Emerald City Flowers.
I incorporated textures in the form of LEATHER, 100% cotton and handmade paper, and delicious LETTERPRESS details to create an impactful COLLECTION of pieces to thrill guests.

Into the Woods
Washington’s forest floors, blanketed with ferns and moss, are a lush hallmark of the Pacific Northwest. A whimsical invitation suite in soft, earthy tones by Robinson Creative House was "inspired by PNW textures and textiles," and captures this wild yet comforting essence. Flecks of sunlight glimmer through the dense foliage, casting a kaleidoscope of light and shadow on the verdant floral arrangements by Manette Flower Co.
When dreaming up this bouquet, I imagined delicate CREAM and white flowers glowing in this MOSSY patch of light, and thus set out to create a forest-inspired bouquet with DELICATE foliage, a soft color palette and ORGANIC, airy movement.
