This past weekend we had 3 weddings, one of which was held at Camas Meadows. Ashley got married…and the weather was perfect! Beautiful flowers in shades of white and blue were created for her special day.  Hydrangeas, calla lilies, dahlias, stephanotis, sweet peas, and eryngium were combined together in her beautiful delicate bouquet.

Simple Arrangements dressed up the gazebo in the ceremony area 

To carry the theme of simplicity, the centerpieces were alternating tall and short square vases filled with calla lilies and hydrangeas

A beautiful cake was created by Meghan of Cakes by Design. We added coordinating flowers to dress it up!

This past weekend, we had 3 more weddings. Dustin and Kristin tied the knot in the Rhodedendron Garden in Portland. She chose beautiful flowers in deep shades of purple with accents of lime green. Turquiose ribbon offset the colors and balanced the addition of peacock feathers!

Blooming oregano, scabiosa, hypericum, seeded eucalyptus and feathers add contrast and whimsy to the completed bouquet!

Here’s a couple more wedding bouquets from this weekend’s fun…beautiful, romantic, and overstuffed seemed to be the theme.

Beautiful old fashioned ‘Yves Piaget’ Roses, ‘Maria Theresia’ Roses, Dahlias, Calla lilies and berries were combined in this stunning bouquet created by Julie for Miss Taylor! 

Lavish bouquets of Purple Lisianthus, ‘Vendela’ Roses, Freesia, Hydrangea, and sweetpeas were created for Michelle’s attendants to carry.

Michelle’s bouquet held many surprise elements including blackberries and orchids. Congratulations Michelle!

We love meeting with brides. They are all bubbly and excited, and even sometimes neurotic and that’s ok. But even more than that, we love meeting with brides that live on the wild side. They come to us, they know what they want, but are willing to let us go…Let us “work our magic” as we say around our store. Casey was no exception. When Erik met with Casey, she said she loved orange and yellow and gerbera daisies. From there, he “worked his magic!”

Here’s her fabulous orange bouquet. Roses, zinnias, miniature gerbera daisies, tulips, crespedia balls, fern curls and pods created a ball shaped stunning look for her to carry down the aisle.

Erik also created simple attendant’s bouquets of miniature gerbera daisies with a simple and whimsical grass treatment on the stems below the blooms.

Breathtaking views of the Columbia Gorge at Skamania Lodge were framed for her special day with an arch built by her father. Denise of Flowers Washougal graciously setup the floral decor and made certain everything was beautiful and wind-hearty for Casey’s ceremony.

Ami’s beautiful bouquet created by Julie consisted of buttery ‘Alexandra’ roses, old fashioned roses, dahlias, sage green hydrangeas, calla lilies, phalaenopsis orchids, fern curls and crespedia balls. Simply soft and lucious.

Julie also created stunning vibrant bouquets for her attendants that coordinated in shades of yellows and a touch of blue. Dahlias, roses, tulips and veronica completed the look.

Because we are all about detail, not a step if missed when it comes to the smaller parts of a wedding. Although they are small, we find the boutonnieres and corsages to be just as important in the overall wedding. Check out these simple and fun boutonnieres Julie created for Ami’s guys…

Beautiful simple bubble bowls brimming with hydrangeas, roses, and dahlias in lemon filled glass bowls and curly willow swirled bowls completed a stunningly simple outdoor  reception.

Julie’s garden is in full swing, which means, each and every wedding we do, incorporates a little bit of her amazing love of gardening and funky cool flowers and northwest stuff!

Here’s a prime example of what we can do, thanks to Julie and her fabulous garden of wonderment! (Each and every flower came from her garden!)

Our greatest passion in design currently evolves around a northwest organic look. Not every bride is suitable to suggest such a look, but when they come to us and say they love anything “weird and succulent” we know it’s time to pull out all the stops!

Morey and Jillian tied the knot at Mcmenamin’s Edgefield this past weekend. With colors of deep yellow white and sage green, we created textural bouquets for her girls and her. Dahlias, kangaroo paws, hydrangeas, succulents, billy balls and fragrant freesia were all incorporated.

Her bouquet of the same stunning varieties also incorporated a stunning surprise element, phalaenopsis orchids. This avante garde combination made her bouquet extra special!

This past weekend, we created vividly wonderful bridal flowers for Angela and Steve. Members of one of our weekly church deliveries at The Church of Good Shepherd in Vancouver, they knew where to go to get incredible flowers for their special day!

Angela selected miniature gerbera daisies, calla lilies, iris, and hydrangea among other wonderful touches. Her colors in fuchsia, yellow, purple and lime green were anything but bland!

Erik decided to surprise her with a few fun touches such as wild sweetpeas (provided by Julie) trachelium and stunningly bright verbena!

A simple and stunning cake was created by Megan at Cakes by Design which we embellished with all of the wonderful flowers incorporated into Angela’s wedding theme.

After much work, stress, and a little sweat…Erik has successfully passed his PFDE (Professional Floral Design Evaluation) and has been invited to join AIFD. Next July, he will be inducted into this prestigious group in San Franscisco. His next adventure will allow him to stay aware of all the new trends and techniques that make Flowers Washougal, what we are…Extraordinary!

PFDE Testing for AIFD

Over 100 people tested to become members into AIFD this year. Erik is one of many that passed his testing and will invited to join AIFD next summer! Here are some of the designs that he created for the test.

Stunning contemporary yellow rose bouquet with turquoise wire beads and bobbles	Erik created a unique sympathy design suitable for the funeral service for someone that loved the beach. Calla lilies, eremuris, roses, succulents, shells and more were incorporated into this fabulous design!
Erik created a modern linear design suitable for the home with gladiolus and steel grass framing a focal emphasis of sunflowers. Petals of sunflowers lift away as if to float to heaven	This design, although not one of Erik's personal favorites, was part of the tested which allowed judges to see if you could duplicate a design. Each contestant was given a photo in which they had to duplicate everything about the design.

This category was for an "over-the-shoulder" adornment...Erik created a whimiscal corsage of Calla lilies, billy balls, hypericum, live wire and gems appropriate for a wedding.

Well, to say we have been doing weddings lately, would be an understatement! We have been doing lots of weddings. About 2-3 a wedding is our max however. This past weekend, we created the flowers for Ashley. She loved vibrant color, lots of texture and feathers.

Here her bouquet was created from billy balls, dahlias, lilies, calla lilies, hydrangea, hypericum, and polka dot feathers. The combination was really fabulous!
