It’s my birthday!!

This year I turn 30 and B&T turned 5. I feel like we all know better than to claim years at this point (thanks 2020) but I don’t know… I’ve got a feeling life is going in a really great direction ❤️

Sending so much love to everyone who’s gotten me here.

This was a fascinating discussion with at creative space. We went into my dance background (thanks .redmond ❤️) , emotional wellness (stay to the end for my MVP lol), and how I create flowing narratives for every event I produce.

SO sad we got cut off (I swear we must have chatted for half an hour or more) but just as glad that this section was spared.

Thanks to everyone who moved through my art for a wonderful weekend ❤️❤️❤️

This one goes out to all the cuties cuddled up at home instead of travelling this holiday season. Y'all the real MVPs.

If you need me, I’ll be curled up on the couch with my honey in our matching onesies watching home alone ✌️🏼

Bad for Covid numbers: going to gatherings with people outside your household, shopping in person, attending religious or secular events.

Good for Covid numbers: getting drunk in the woods alone with your sweetie.

Celebrate safely y’all 😘

I promise you don't have anything more important to do for your fellow humans today. Fu***ng vote. Please. For us. For them. For you. The love in this photo is a triumph. The love in this photo is a radical, revolutionary act. Honor it by picking up that ballot and getting it in the mail. Designated ballot drop boxes will still get your mail-in vote in on time. No drop boxes in your area? Watch them post mark it at the counter if you have to. But your vote counts. To me, to the beautiful humans in this photo, and to the future.

I don’t know what to post today. I don’t know how to put a caption together that doesn’t feel dismissive of all the pain in our collective and individual lives right now.

Swipe to see what this stunning wedding venue looks like today 😔 Stay safe everyone, and enjoy my next few posts caption-free. I’ve always been better at art than words.

If you're an LGBTQ+ couple hearing wedding bells this year, but struggling with the intersection of your faith and your love, we want you to know that we've been there. To all of our Methodist to-be-weds struggling in light of today's decision to ban same-sex weddings in church, we're sorry you're going through this. Weddings should be a celebration! We want to help you have the dream day you deserve. Message us and we'll set you up with a list of our favorite LGBT and LGBT inclusive vendors here in the PNW.

It's Valentine's Week! Picture the quintessential date night- Fresh flowers, wine, a home cooked meal... sounds fantastic right?? But you know what's not romantic? Rushing your pup to the ER because they had a nibble on something they weren't supposed to. To help keep your furry friends safe, and the date night magic alive, we've compiled a list of flowers, plants, and snacks your pup needs to avoid!

Filling the off-season with fun projects is our very favorite thing!! Go see what we're celebrating on the Alexis Mera blog... spoiler alert: it was real mushy gushy, and 100% honest💕

Women celebrate life in many different ways (as they should). We asked those around us to tell us what they're celebrating in life today, and got some inspirational answers.

This was so much fun!!! Thank goodness the weather was on our side and Lindsay snagged these gorgeous shots before the flurries started!!

I love the holiday season because it’s all about preparing. And let me tell you, I’m a PLANNER. I start my gifts closet in February 🙈 Are you done with your holiday planning yet? What do you have left to do?

29/11/2018

Meet the newest member of the B&T team! Tillandsia is the best shop pup a florist could wish for 💕 And she’s a great little model, so I’m sure we’ll be sharing more of her soon! 🐶

Why do I always make the weirdest faces when I'm designing?? 🙈 Happy Thanksgiving, from our messy table to yours!

I love when brides send me back photos! These cuties got married yesterday in an intimate Mt. Rainer elopement, and sent me a few images already!! How sweet is that??
Congratulations A&J! Wishing you a great honeymoon and a better marriage 💕
