Stacy Kvam of SK Wedding and Event Design contacted us to collaborate with her on an autumn inspired tabletop design for the summer 2009 issue of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom magazine. Using bright Washington red apples and an artisan chocolate menu as inspiration, she created a gorgeous vision of fall on this table. My favorite part is the centerpiece itself. Created by Brittany Flowers, it features an antique wooden tool carrier filled to the brim with autumn’s bounty – delicious and vibrant apples, miniature white pumpkins, greenery, and full cabbage leaves. 

To complement Stacy’s vision, we created fun leaf-shaped place cards printed on pieces of paper thin wood veneer sheets. We also created “bride” and “groom” chair signs with scalloped edges and gold grommets (also on that beautiful wood veneer!)

Our work was featured last week on Style Me Pretty! Thanks, Abby, for mentioning our website update!

Also in the most current issue of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom is the series, “Perfect Places,” a collection of four tabletops designed by local floral and event designers. Michelle Engvall of Married and More with Michelle designed one of the tables, a modern yet sweet farmers’ market inspired spread. Julie of Bella Rugosa designed delightful little bouquets of late summer blooms in antique glass jars scattered about on the table – personally, this is my favorite kind of centerpiece – I tend to be drawn to the slightly less “refined” table tops in favor of something that feels personal and fresh.

Michelle asked us to help out with paper products for the table, so we created menus and place cards in a black, yellow, and white color scheme that fit with the vintage modern theme. My favorite detail are the favors – Snoqualmie Valley Honey Farm honey sticks tied with a sweet black ribbon and the place cards.

Jonathan and I were approached last fall by Laura Cassidy, the editor for Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom, to be interviewed for a feature they include in every issue. (Thank you Laura, we’re so honored to have been included!) The feature is a profile of a few different wedding vendors and what they want brides to know. We are in great company as the feature also includes interviews with Christy from Junebug Weddings, Emerson Robbins, Dani Weiss, and Lisa Holdroyd of La Belle Elaine’s Bridal.

The winter issue of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom is on newsstands now – go pick one up! Photos in the spread were taken by Richard Darbonne.

This photo is a behind-the-scenes preview of what I will be posting about tomorrow…
