I’m based in Seattle but I plan gatherings worldwide. I have passports for Canada and the European Union so I can get straight to work without needing a visa.

I don’t charge travel fees for weddings and events in Seattle, Vancouver and the Greater Toronto/Niagara.

Crystal from @thefancycatstudio has been a part of my journey as a wedding planner from almost day one. From early collaborations, to me coordinating her wedding and her creating stationery for mine, to this suite she designed for our booth at the Modern Love Event. I think we bonded best when I called a magazine that credited the wrong person for her work, and she wrote to a blog that didn’t credit me for a design. It’s so great to have such a good friend and colleague in this wonderful wedding world, and Crystal you are one of the very best! ⁣ ⁣ Stationery by @thefancycatstudio⁣ ⁣ #petrarabsonevents #petrarabsonbride #seattlebride #seattlebridemag #seattlewedding #seattlemetbrideandgroom #pnwedding #pnwbride #pacificnorthwestwedding #woodinvillewedding #bellevuewedding #kirklandwedding #whidbeywedding #washingtonwedding #greenweddingshoes #theknotweddings #stylemepretty #weddingplanner #seattleweddingplanner #seattleweddingcoordinator #weddingdesign #eventdesign #engaged #modernbride #minimalistbride #weddinginspiration #romanticwedding #weddingstationery #seattleigers #seattle_igers
Last week was so jam packed, I didn’t even get a chance to share that I was on a podcast! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This was a hugely vulnerable thing for me to do, as I really don’t enjoy public speaking in any format and mostly because I’m a somewhat private person that doesn’t like talking about myself! I’ve actually said no to being on podcasts in the past because it’s so scary to me 😬 However, I could never say no to my friend and mentor, Candi at @blockweddings. She is my go-to woman for business and life advice, and she recently started a podcast called “Learn from My Wedding Mistakes” on iTunes where couples share things that might have gone a little different than planned with their weddings. It’s a great podcast for couples and wedding vendors alike - seriously some of the advice from couples is pure gold.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We discussed my destination wedding planning and a little setback we had with our hotel accommodations and how we resolved it. I also offer advice on how to better take care of yourself during the planning process. I’d love for you to subscribe, listen and let me know what you think! ~ Photographer: @oliviacarsonphoto Planner / Stylist: @petrarabson Floral Design: @edelweiss.floral Hair and Makeup: @jenlagers Model: @stopthetrendylie Dress: @sarahseven Dress Shop: @thedresstheoryseattle Shoes: @vincecamuto Earrings: @hellobalee Stationery: @ourvowspaperie Venue & Catering: @solerepairshop Rentals: @cortpartyrental Film Lab: @thefindlab
So much beauty at yesterday’s @modernloveevent! I couldn’t have pulled off this design without the most incredible team @petalandposy @thefancycatstudio @ladygreyseattle @cortpartyrental @latavolalinen⁣⁣⁣. Collaboration is such an important piece in the creative industry, and I loved being a part of this group. ⁣⁣⁣ It was lovely meeting so many couple and vendors as well. You all make my job such a pleasure! ✨
I walked through these doors and everything was magical… ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Last week I spent a few days in the beautiful rolling hills at the Boconnoc Estate for the @fineartweddingretreat and the romance and history of this property was incredible. The hosts @thetimelessstylist and @hannahduffyphotography  planned this event at the perfect time, right before wedding season really kicks off to us feel inspired and reenergized. What they didn’t know is that this also came at the perfect time in my business, as I’ve been feeling torn in which direction to take my company in the coming months. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The whole three days were filled with gorgeous editorials, sessions about branding and content, and indulging in some of the most incredible food I’ve ever eaten. One of my favourite parts was the fireside chats about collaboration, entrepreneurship, and the differences between North America and European weddings. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ On the last day I woke up to a dove (or white pigeon? who knows) which truly symbolized how much peace and patience I walked away with after this experience. I have found more clarity, confidence, and compassion in the way I want to work and I can’t wait to start implementing some changes in my business. I want to serve my clients and vendors well and feel so much more equipped to do this after so many great lessons learned at this workshop. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It takes a village to create these events and I’m so fortunate to have met these wonderful folks as well as my fellow attendees! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Retreat: @fineartweddingretreat ⁣⁣ Co-host and Creative Direction: @thetimelessstylist ⁣⁣ Co-host and Photography: @hannahduffyphotography ⁣⁣ Floral Design: @mossandstonefloraldesign ⁣⁣ Planning Assistant: @ardourandbow ⁣⁣ Photography Assistant: @camillaarnholdphotography ⁣⁣ Floral Assistant: @joannagame_flowers ⁣⁣ Venue: @boconnocestate ⁣⁣ Guest Speaker: @weddingsparrow⁣⁣ Bridal Hair & Makeup: @emily.artistry ⁣⁣ Cake Designer: @sugarplumbakeskingston ⁣⁣ Wedding Gown: @morgan_davies_bridal ⁣⁣ Tableware: @duchessbutler ⁣⁣ Fine Art Stationery: @fineartcalligraphy.co.uk ⁣⁣ Jewellery: @london_victorian_ring_co ⁣⁣ Hair Accessories: @megantheresecouture ⁣⁣ (Continued in comments)
