What a good looking couple! Thank you Josh Durias for your calm and easy nature, your kindness and your wonderful talent.

The couple personalized everything, adding in their own style of classic and whimsical.

Cupcakes from Katies Cupcakes, a Bride and Groom Cake with very cute toppers and an assortment of special cookies baked by family members!

I was delighted to have the opportunity to work at Western Washington University for the first time. What a perfect backdrop for a wedding and the views from the campus are amazing every where you look.

Thank you Britt and Travis for letting me be a part of what was one of the most lively, joyful and absolute fun weddings ever.

It's been a busy few months for Glacier Lily and the Wedding Season still continues! A lot of photos coming soon, but in the meantime, here's some shots of the very special couple Peter and Carlee. They were married at Beau Lodge and had one of those rare sunny Saturdays in June. Their guests traveled from all across the country to be there and the day was full of really great moments. It was such a pleasure to work with them and our long distance planning really paid off!

Rachel at Bellingham Wedding and Event Rental continues to build her decor inventory. I was tickled recently to find items such as Moroccan Lanters, Vase Illuminators and Silk Chandeliers! I am so happy she is in Bellingham and so are my clients.

An aerospace engineer and a space physicist meet, get engaged and have a space themed wedding of course. It was whimsical yet very elegant believe it or not! The Lairmont Manor was the perfect backdrop for this very lovely couple. Clinton James Photography http://www.clintonjamesphotography.com led the wedding party down to Fairhaven earlier in the day and got a very sweet shot of the couple sitting at the very spot where they had their first date!

Tablescape

Recently I had the pleasure of creating a tablescape for the Bellingham Wedding and Event Rentals open house. I used their crinkle burgundy taffeta linen and the lovely chartreuse napkins, then added in some decor accents to showcase a really bold and fun color combination. I love their selection of linen colors and the decor inventory continues to grow! http://www.bellinghameventrentals.com

Whatcom Land Trust Newsletter

This will be my 6th auction with the WLT and they were so kind to feature me in one of their newsletters recently!

Whatcom Land Trust
Whatcom County, WashingtonWhatcom Land Trust: Preserving the Nature of Whatcom County since 1984
THE VOLUNTEER PROFILE
Tribute to Renea Roberts
Upon moving to Bellingham from Seattle, Renea Roberts rediscovered a few things that she values highly: her backyard, bike rides, and a connection with nature. She also discovered the
Whatcom Land Trust. “I learned of the Land Trust’s work, and it just made so much sense to me, here is a way to shape the future and provide natural areas for my family and friends.”

Renea brings her gifts of calmness, organization
and laughter to the auction
as coordinator of the event.Renea has been one of the primary reasons for the success of the Great Outdoors Auction the last three years. She has provided quiet and calm guidance behind the scenes and has consistently gone the extra mile to insure that the auction is both fun and profitable. “I loved the energy of the organization right from the beginning, the enthusiasm of the ultimate old codger, Bob Keller, was just inspirational to me. I’ve never regretted a moment that I’ve spent on the event and have never been in full panic mode! ”Renea has devoted much of her early career to working with non-profits, primarily focusing on fundraising for Seattle organizations. She started out young, serving as a mentor for Big Sisters while still a teenager. In addition to the help she provides the Land Trust, you might encounter her assisting other organizations that focus on domestic violence and women’s issues. “The Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services is another interest of mine; I think they also are doing vital work in the community.” Having lived in downtown Seattle for a number of years, Renea lights up when she speaks of her relocation to the area. “The reasons I like living in Whatcom County are numerous, but they do center around being able to enjoy the natural setting, having time with my family, and enjoying a vibrant community.” Renea and her daughter, Sinclair, enjoy biking, skiing, and hiking around the region. While you might encounter her drumming up support for the Great Outdoor auction, you can also secure her professional services as an event planner and event designer as Glacier Lily Event Design. As an organization, we consider ourselves fortunate to be the recipient of Renea’s remarkable skills and thank her for all of the wonderful help she has provided.

Weather Worries

2010-02-23T21:00:00.000-08:00

There doesn't seem to be a "wedding season" any more. In Western Washington any time of the year is risky for an outdoor event. Even in August, plan for rain and be pleasantly surprised. Or...have your event in February and it could be like Spring! The key is to count on any weather for your event and use a PLANNER who has experienced it all. :-)
