Colorful Winery Wedding | Chateau Lill | A&J

October 16, 2017 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

I was introduced to A by my sister (they trained in ballet in college together), so even before I met her for the first time, I had heard so much about how beautiful she was, inside and out. She is that girl who instantly makes you feel like you've been friends forever and the girl who gives you the most genuine, radiant smile + a hug the first time you meet (which is relevant because those of you who know me know that I am a self-titled "hugger"). And J is her rad counterpart -- that guy who, upon finding out that I am a hugger, greeted me at their rehearsal with "I know you're a hugger, so we'll just start with a hug". So basically, several lowkey heart-bursting-with-happiness moments working with these two.

A&J rocked a Thursday wedding - at the beautiful Chateau Lill in Woodinville, WA - and from A's fairytale princess dress (and shoes!!) to the live band serenading their guests on the dance floor, it was honestly pretty dang perfect. But more than that, their ability to tackle adversity together as a team, and the raw, real respect + adoration they have for each other is something I consider to be a whole different level of perfection -- a glimpse into a marriage that will be just as beautiful as their wedding.

Color Scheme: bright jewel tonesFavorite Décor Elements: minimalistic DIY elements - created with love by A, the willingness to go BIG with bold blooms + textures, and J's burgundy suit (yes, this counts as a decor element).Favorite Moments: J losing it when he saw his bride walking down the aisle, watching A's infectious laughter bring joy to each and every guest throughout the day, and the 4 hours of live music (I love my DJs, but there is something so magical about live music at a wedding).

Cheers + love to Mr. & Mrs. Byrd!!

Black Tie Beach Wedding | Golden Gardens - Seattle | M&M

September 26, 2017 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

AlexandraCeliaPhotography-MeganandMarshall-617

Color Scheme + Aesthetic
Ice blue, white, silver

Favorite Décor Elements
Pops of vintage furniture/elements against the bathhouse brick walls, the 10-pane window seating chart, and platters upon platters of cake pops.

Favorite Moments
The look on Megan's face when she walked into the bathhouse for the reception reveal, and the overall love + joy that emanated between M&M -- whether they were in each other's arms or all the way across the room. Oh and Tux. On a. Beach.

I've literally had this draft saved for weeks. Photos chosen and placed, vendors listed, the best memories relived. But this part? Sheesh, it is difficult to write a short blurb about two incredible people who I have so much love for.

Megan and I have known each other since high school -- we were those best friends who had an enviable amount of inside jokes and spent the majority of our time writing notes to each other and laughing 'til we cried. Fast forward a few years, and I'm convincing M that she does, indeed, need a wedding planner and that I should somehow be lucky enough to have that honor. And what an absolute honor it was... M&M are intelligent beyond their years and consistently reminded me what a real relationship looks like. I got to watch them work as a team throughout our professional relationship as we planned their wedding together, and have gotten to see them work as a team through the most difficult of life's realities as they perfect their marriage. It truly brings me so much joy knowing that one of my dearest friends found her match... I would go back and do their beach celebration 1,000 times if I could.

To one of the most #goals couples out there -- I cannot wait to see everything you do together, M&M!

Boho Beach Wedding | Guemes Island Resort | J&C

June 14, 2017 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

Oh my goodness. This wedding. Well, more specifically, this couple. I just took a quick walk down memory lane as I went through all of the emails that J and I sent each other during our 5-month planning adventure and it's making me feel all warm and fuzzy in my heart. J&C booked me from afar (California) and our very first phone call felt like catching up with an old friend. Shortly after we made our collab official, J started her emails to me with "hey, babe" and I would respond with "hi, love". All of our interactions were so casual and split between talking about life outside of wedding planning + me being my Type A self while J calmly stayed true to her Type B counterpart. We balanced each other out well and planned one heck of a beautiful, logistics-heavy, lowkey wedding.

Color Scheme: navy blue, neutrals, pops of orangeFavorite Décor Elements: driftwood ceremony arch with gorgeous blooms, neutral-colored glassybabys on the guest tables (that doubled as guest favors), pebbles + shells hand-gathered from the Guemes Island beach.Favorite Moment: J's spontaneous decision to jump in as the official cake cutter. Guests lined up and got to spend a few minutes talking to her while she cut them their choice of Deru cake. It was perfect.

PS, do not think I've forgotten about C! I didn't get to meet him until they were finally in Washington for their wedding weekend, but he greeted me for the first time with the warmest smile + hug and I remember immediately thinking "Yep. These two were made for each other."

Cheers, J&C. I wish we could go back and do it all over again.

Intimate Fall Wedding | Maplehurst Farm | E&B

November 22, 2016 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

It is rare (read: basically impossible) for me to find people who rival my love for dessert. That was the first sign that my wedding planning adventures with Emily & Brian were going to be something else entirely. Then there was the laughter. And the level of real that E&B bring to the table - real love, real intentions, real grace, real fun. And, of course, the way that B looks at E. Got me every time.

E&B's Maplehurst Farm wedding was classy and full of the industry's best, but also so low-key and fun. The only hitch? The absolutely insane wind. This was not your every day "oh hey, its kinda windy" occasion... this was a "oh hey, there goes a water goblet" kinda deal. It may look nice and calm in those tablescape images (so perfectly captured by Michèle Waite), but let me tell ya: it came down to me having to make the call at the very last second to keep those dinner tables under that beautiful tree-lined lane because I knew that E had been dreaming of that setup for months and months. And yes, every single person on E&B's vendor team thought I was insane (direct quote from Jessica, owner of Ciao Thyme: "you're crazy"). But, in a crazy turn of events, the dark skies held the rain and wind for the entirety of the ceremony and the wind completely died down during dinner. #blessed

One of the best things about working with E&B was their undying trust in me and their team. In addition to trusting me with the coordination of their wedding day, they also trusted me to do their place cards + dessert labels when I was just getting started in the calligraphy field. These little details ended up being one of my favorite projects ever - specifically the hand-painted moutains that mimic the ones on their guestbook. Speaking of details: the amount of culinary detail that Ciao Thyme brought to the table (literally) was unreal (see below), Kelly of Country Bouquets Floral added the perfect floral details to every inch of the day, and can we just take a moment to appreciate the magic that is Michèle's ability to capture all of the most important moments?

K, I'm ready - let's do it again. Wind and all.So much love to E&B and to a vendor team that trusted my crazy weather decisions!

Black Tie Summer Wedding | The Admiral's House | J&J

November 9, 2016 Krisanna Elizabeth Co.

Elegant (adj.) - pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.

People often ask if I work with couples who are planning from out-of-state and this is a perfect example: Jane was in Chicago at law school and Jonathan was in New York, so most of our work was done via phone conferences. However, J&J's incredibly kind demeanors, attention to detail, and eagerness to host a perfectly executed event made working with them from afar an absolute dream. Together, we made sure that their top 3 wedding wishes - excellent food & drinks, impeccable photography, and a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish - became a reality.

Although it's been well over a year since their wedding day, J&J's wedding is one I'll likely never forget. The stunning Admiral's House backdrop + all-star vendor team (see below for full list), the carefully chosen little details (think lavender soap from Woodinville Lavender and fresh truffles from Intrigue), and, most importantly, the bride and groom's attention to their guests' experience, made for one of the most beautifully joyful events I've ever coordinated.

Forever grateful to my dear friend, Kelly (floral designer extraordinaire), for connecting me with this amazing couple!
