Seattle & Puget Sound Wedding Coordination
Hi friends! I’ve been MIA on here for a while now, but I’m back! To start things off with a bang, I’m thrilled to announce the birth of my first child, Virginia Grace, born January 25th at 9:33 PM. We’ve been in a postpartum whirlwind of learning over here, but as we start settling into some routines you’ll be seeing more content from me. Super excited for the upcoming wedding season—celebrating love is one of my favorite things! ❤️

My 2023 wedding season is officially done, and now I get to shift my focus to my family’s next big adventure. So excited to announce that Baby O’Neal will be joining us in February 2024!
With that said, my books are still open for 2024 wedding dates for May and beyond! Reach on out if you need a super calm and detail oriented coordinator—I’m your girl!
Two whole years since these beautiful people tied the knot! Happy anniversary B&K!

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year (plus one week) since these two tied the knot at the beautiful . Happy anniversary M&D (a few days late). Here’s to many more beautiful years together! 💖

Happy happy anniversary to these two today! I cannot believe how quickly a year has flown by!
This wedding will always hold a special place in my heart for a couple of reasons. 1. H&A were the first couple to book with me after I opened my business, and 2. They got married on my wedding anniversary! It was such a special day filled with loved ones and smiles and fun! Take me back!

Yep, I'm still here! Been busily working on some behind the scenes stuff here at Birdsong & Blossom. But I couldn't let the day go by without wishing these two a very happy anniversary! E&P, I can't believe it's already been a year since your fun, unique, fantastical day!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!
E&P's July wedding had lots of fun touches of green, which is something I don't see at many weddings. IMO, green is such an underrated color--one of my personal favorites!

I'm here with your Saturday reminder that yes, you can have your cake and eat it too! (Especially when it's as gorgeous and tasty as this one from ). But seriously, if you're planning a wedding, the best way to have your cake and eat it too is to hire a wedding coordinator!

K&J's September wedding was such a fun day! It was unseasonably warm and sunny for late September, and the gorgeous weather made for some truly stunning photos. This wedding was extra fun because I knew the family of the groom from my high school days! These are two of my favorite shots from K&J's day. I just LOVE an emotional first look--you can really see the love and joy there. It's about enough to make me tear up too!

Thinking back to this fun day! M&M eloped this past September at a gorgeous spot on the Sol Duc River, not too far from Crescent Lake. It was a really sweet ceremony, and the location made for some really cool photos, like this one from .
I can't say it enough--I have the BEST clients! I'm so grateful to do what I do because it affords me the opportunity to get to know some really lovely people. 💖

H&A's July wedding has been featured in Favorite Fridays before, but as I was looking through their photos this week I found this one that I had to share. This day was so full of joy--there's hardly a photo to be found without someone with a huge grin on their face. Here's another facet of that joy: H&A singing to each other during their first dance. Such a sweet and happy moment!

Walking into the weekend like... 😍
One of my favorite, under-rated IMO shots is a shot of a couple walking away from the camera on their wedding day. It's like they're walking off into their happily-every-after. Very fairytale romantic.
Fun fact--I have a walking away shot from my own wedding day as the wallpaper on my laptop!

G&W's October wedding was one for the books. Gorgeous color palette, super unique personal touches, and an INCREDIBLE team of vendors. This wedding was extra special because G&W are two of my dear friends. Also, this was my first Greek wedding!
This shot on Tacoma's iconic 11th Street Bridge is among my favorites from that day. Shot by the ever-awesome , there is nothing not to like about it. The pose, the color, the sky in the background. *Chef's kiss*

Lots of new faces around here lately, so here's a rare shot of the face behind this business. I'm Hope, your friendly neighborhood wedding coordinator. Here's a few fun facts about me:
🌸 I'm left handed, which makes using scissors sometimes complicated
🌸 When I'm not working a wedding on the weekend, you can often find me outdoors. I love hiking, walking, and paddleboarding (though I've fallen more than I care to admit)
🌸 I have one sibling, a younger brother, and he is autistic. He has an incredible memory and one of our favorite things to do together is sing Disney songs and watch Disney movies
🌸 I've been married for almost 7 (!) years. No kids yet, but we do have one fur-kid, our tuxedo cat, Figaro. My wedding is what launched my wedding career! Ask me about it sometime!
🌸 I love to crochet and cross stitch
🌸 My dad is a musician and I grew up super involved in music. I can sing, play the cello, piano, and a tiny bit of guitar, and was involved in both choir and orchestra in school
🌸 Little-known fact--I was an athlete once upon a time. I swam on a club team and went to state all four years of high school. These days, I really love yoga and cycling.
Drop a fun fact about you in the comments below! 💖

M&D's day was beyond gorgeous in every way. Held at a classically beautiful garden estate, surrounded by friends and loved ones, the whole day was perfectly picturesque. There are so many things I love about this photo. First and foremost, that kiss! It was so perfectly spontaneous, but somehow looks so perfectly posed. I mean, they deserve applause for that. Secondly, I just LOVE that M&D's sweet Willow pup was caught in this shot and got to be a part of this moment. 😍

I cannot get over this gorgeous image from K&J's wedding this past September. The love they have for each other is so clear. Also, can you believe that lighting? It was September 30th and it was basically Summer weather. Take me back! 😍

E&P's wedding was full of unique touches, including this museumwith multiple rooms, complete with exhibits all about their adventures together. As a planner, I'd never seen anything quite like it!

H&A's July wedding was a day full to the brim with pure joy. It was the most contagious, palpable feeling. An excellent example of this is the way they recessed up the aisle after being pronounced husband and wife. They danced together, hand in hand, all the way up the aisle with huge grins on their faces. Just about enough to make my heart burst! 💖💖💖

I've finally had a chance to look through some of the photos of this gorgeous September day. Let me just say, I CAN'T WAIT to post some more. These green arches in the Queen's Garden at Froggsong Gardens made for such a picture perfect backdrop. But really, you can't go wrong taking photos anywhere at this stunning property.

Favorite Friday… Thanksgiving edition!
In lieu of a favorite wedding moment, this week I’m going to share a favorite item from our Thanksgiving table. The aluminum rooster you see in the middle there is an heirloom item belonging to my great-grandmother. It graced my grandmother’s Thanksgiving table every year until she passed away, and now it has a permanent home on my folks’ table each year.
I’d love to know, do you have a favorite Thanksgiving item or dish?
So thankful today for my incredible clients, fellow vendors, and my incredible day-of support team here at Birdsong & Blossom. This 2022 season has been a wild ride, but I'm so incredibly thankful to everyone I've had the pleasure of working with along the way. I hope you all have a lovely day of gratitude today. 🙏🦃💖

E&P's July wedding was so full of unique touches that were personal to them. A perfect example of this is their recession up the aisle under this incredible sword arch after being pronounced as husband and wife!

Soaking in the memories of all this gorgeous fall color on this chilly November day! The florals from at C&D's wedding last October were to die for.

Enjoying a little R&R this weekend with my sweet husband. So glad to be able to have this time right after a busy wedding season and right before a busy holiday season. ✨

N&J eloped in September of 2019 at Mt. Baker. Being a wedding coordinator herself, N had planned to have a lovely, picturesque meal after the ceremony with all her closest vendor friends that had helped on her day. The Airbnb porch was all set with a gorgeous tablescape, but Mt. Baker's weather had other plans. We ended up standing around the kitchen eating pizza and trying to stay warm, but that didn't put a damper on N&J. They made the best of it, and this sweet moment was captured on film. 😍

Detail shots like this just make me swoon. Still so in love with the color and texture from C&D's October wedding last year.
