Art Deco City Wedding | Pacific Tower - Seattle | L&J

April 17, 2018 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

L&J were referred to me by a major boss babe (shout out to Brynn of Dandy & Fine Parties!), but our connection was amplified by our shared love of dogs and, more specifically, volunteering. They built their vendor team in ways that would allow them to give back - using Farestart, a local non-profit, for catering, and delivering their beautiful floral arrangements to nursing homes/hospitals after their wedding day. Their focus on giving back also translated to their guests and every aspect of their day was built around ensuring that each and every person enjoyed each moment.

With the help of Brynn, L&J dreamed up a design for the Pacific Tower Panoramic Room that transformed it from a corporate meeting-ish aesthetic into a bright, modern celebration space with shiny art deco accents. Chairs were stylishly covered in silver pashminas, gold-framed boards displayed guests' names on gold cut-outs with colorful tassels, clear ghost chairs lined the head table, and the stunning Smashing Petals floral designs were the star of the show on the crushed teal tablescapes. In a world full of (beautiful) pastel weddings, this wedding was a bold burst of flair and I loved every aspect of it.

Color Scheme: jewel tone hues - royal purple, cranberry, teal, navy
Favorite Décor Elements: globes with favorite quotes written on them scattered around the reception space, large signage taking over the foyer, BRIGHT pops of color in the flowers + tablescape decor to offset the overcast weather. And of course the built-in panoramic Seattle view decor element.
Favorite Moment: watching the blank slate room be completely transformed into a beautiful, colorfully sophisticated space, fit for L&J's art deco/modern vision.

Cheers to Mr. & Mrs. Padley!

Elegant Downtown Wedding | AXIS Pioneer Square - Seattle | E&A

January 1, 2018 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

Let me just start by saying that this wedding was, quite simply, one of the most gorgeously designed weddings I have ever been a part of. Let me also just point out that it looks so. effortless. My friends... weddings that look effortlessly gorgeous are, in fact, full-blown, all hands on deck, 10/10 concentrated effort. But thanks to one of the most all-star teams out there (see below for full list), we transformed not one, but two, "blank slate" spaces - Occidental Square, the public Seattle parking lot, and AXIS' concrete & brick space - to create a cohesive ethereal experience for E&A's guests.

As logistically intense as this wedding was, working with E&A was quite the opposite - we shared so many laughs and our meetings were always smooth and simple. If there were planning hiccups, E&A stayed calm and trusted me to solve them. On their wedding day, it was all smiles & joy - as a planner, one of my favorite parts of my job is when I ask my couples to "hand over" any last-minute stress/anxiety and then watch as they visibly relax and focus on being in the moment with their favorite people. In short, collaborating with E&A was a dream and I'm so honored that I had the opportunity to be a part of their dream day.

Color Scheme: blush, white, neutrals & LOTS of greenery
Favorite Décor Elements: completely transforming Occidental Square (a public area!) from bustling city parking lot to ethereal ceremony space, E's dress & tiara, the "Secret Garden"-esque backdrop behind/on the sweetheart table.
Favorite Moments: E&A walking into the reception area of AXIS to see the entire room flipped & transformed (one of their very few quiet moments, just the two of them), E's mama walking her down the aisle, and the French-inspired quartet, Rouge, serenading guests with live music during Cocktail Hour.

Big hugs & cheers to E&A!!

Black Tie Beach Wedding | Golden Gardens - Seattle | M&M

September 26, 2017 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

AlexandraCeliaPhotography-MeganandMarshall-617

Color Scheme + Aesthetic
Ice blue, white, silver

Favorite Décor Elements
Pops of vintage furniture/elements against the bathhouse brick walls, the 10-pane window seating chart, and platters upon platters of cake pops.

Favorite Moments
The look on Megan's face when she walked into the bathhouse for the reception reveal, and the overall love + joy that emanated between M&M -- whether they were in each other's arms or all the way across the room. Oh and Tux. On a. Beach.

I've literally had this draft saved for weeks. Photos chosen and placed, vendors listed, the best memories relived. But this part? Sheesh, it is difficult to write a short blurb about two incredible people who I have so much love for.

Megan and I have known each other since high school -- we were those best friends who had an enviable amount of inside jokes and spent the majority of our time writing notes to each other and laughing 'til we cried. Fast forward a few years, and I'm convincing M that she does, indeed, need a wedding planner and that I should somehow be lucky enough to have that honor. And what an absolute honor it was... M&M are intelligent beyond their years and consistently reminded me what a real relationship looks like. I got to watch them work as a team throughout our professional relationship as we planned their wedding together, and have gotten to see them work as a team through the most difficult of life's realities as they perfect their marriage. It truly brings me so much joy knowing that one of my dearest friends found her match... I would go back and do their beach celebration 1,000 times if I could.

To one of the most #goals couples out there -- I cannot wait to see everything you do together, M&M!

Black Tie Summer Wedding | The Admiral's House | J&J

November 9, 2016 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

Elegant (adj.) - pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.

People often ask if I work with couples who are planning from out-of-state and this is a perfect example: Jane was in Chicago at law school and Jonathan was in New York, so most of our work was done via phone conferences. However, J&J's incredibly kind demeanors, attention to detail, and eagerness to host a perfectly executed event made working with them from afar an absolute dream. Together, we made sure that their top 3 wedding wishes - excellent food & drinks, impeccable photography, and a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish - became a reality.

Although it's been well over a year since their wedding day, J&J's wedding is one I'll likely never forget. The stunning Admiral's House backdrop + all-star vendor team (see below for full list), the carefully chosen little details (think lavender soap from Woodinville Lavender and fresh truffles from Intrigue), and, most importantly, the bride and groom's attention to their guests' experience, made for one of the most beautifully joyful events I've ever coordinated.

Forever grateful to my dear friend, Kelly (floral designer extraordinaire), for connecting me with this amazing couple!
