My favorite person in the whole world. My whole world is gone. I haven’t been able to bring myself to write this post yet, but because of her incredibly wide and powerful impact on people, you likely already know. My sister, Tracy Allen (Moody), was in a tubing accident on the Willamette Saturday afternoon and has not been found. We are so grateful to her friends who were with her, and the sheriff who has been keeping us updated, and going out of his way to pull out all the stops to try and recover her for us. We are also so grateful to everyone who has reached out and who are praying for us all. I can’t comprehend it or describe our loss so I’m not going to try. There have been so many beautiful things said about her already, and I know they will continue, because she was the best person I have ever known and the best sister I can ever imagine. I don’t know how I got so lucky.
I can't believe I missed #internationaldogday earlier this week!! 🙈 Feeling like a bad dog mom now. And even more so since I’m taking him to the groomer today... with matted up hair. Anyone else have fluffy dogs that need brushing?? How do you help them to not hate it?! I try giving him treats but he still hates it. I’ll try to remember to share his little “before and after” in my stories today... be prepared for him to get a lot less cute 😂😂😂 . . . . . 📷 @rebekahjule
Ahh! It’s rainy and stormy like a preview of Fall, so you know what that means! All things British! Oh is that just me?? 😂 (Maybe it’s because I left for England one September long ago and it captured my heart forever. 🍂🍁🍂🌾) So now every Fall I miss it terribly, so we bring on all the British TV!! Is anyone else here a big sucker for the BBC?? What’s your favorite? Great British Baking Show? British murder mysteries? Gardener’s World? The week long coverage of the Chelsea Garden Show? Okay maybe that’s just for garden/flower nerds like me. 🌱🌿🌳 But if you’ve ever seen a British garden competition you’ll be familiar with show gardens. I’m fascinated by them and super inspired ... not so much for my yard, but for weddings. How to create something in one afternoon that looks like it’s always been there. It’s an amazing challenge that I absolutely love. It helps people feel at home, feel excited, and feel transported to another level of celebration ✨✨✨ That’s where this photo comes in: we created a little garden meadow around this fountain in the middle of a reception patio tent. It was so magical! If this sounds like you, let’s talk! 💚
Taking a break from bridal bouquet pics because all the details matter, too! And because I absolutely love this clean, simple, but still personal look. Seriously: All my faves. If I had a bigger house I would have a serious plate problem 😆 Anyone else have an obsession with tableware?! What’s your favorite source for cute dishes?? Or maybe I shouldn’t be asking and getting more ideas... 😬🤩 . . . . . @_meganholloway_ @gatherevents @whitepepperpdx @theevergreenpdx @partyplacepdx
Have you ever felt stumped by color? Found yourself painting *one more* color swatch on the wall, or felt uncertain about a shade of eyeshadow? Or, for everyone planning a wedding, felt uncertain about what direction to go with a color theme for your wedding? There’s a reason for that! Color is complicated, y’all. 🌸🌷🌺🌹🥀 Color in real life vs color in photos vs the actual colors involved and what messages they are sending to your brain... it’s crazy! It’s physics AND art! This is a huge factor in why you should really check out the portfolios/website/Instagram of floral designers while you are considering them. Do you like what they do with color? How do their designs make you feel? 🎆 And here’s the deal: when you find someone you like, let them do the color work! Show them your inspiration, talk about what mood and feel you want, show us your favorites, but then let the designer make the color happen. It’s so complex - especially when it comes to manipulating color with the medium of flowers. We are using an ever changing yet not adjustable product haha! We are here for you to mix and blend and make your beautiful dreams come to life - and the process and actual colors involved is probably a lot different than you think. 🌈✨⚡️💐 So let your florist make the small tweaks to get your colors where they need to go! We will take on that challenge so you can relax and enjoy getting ready for your day 💖 Oh and PS, let me know: does the chambray shirt distract you? Do you need all black or all white backgrounds to get a good idea of this bouquet’s tones? I’ll try and adjust my wedding day wardrobe!! 😆💪🌿
A white + neutral wedding in a summer of color 🖤 Sometimes simple is the answer 🌿 Side note (or rather, side question): sometimes bouquets are hard to visually understand from a photo. Which of these two gives you the best feel for the size and shape of the bouquet? Which one do you like better? ☁️🐚🐖🍂🍚🍦🕯🥟🐏🕸 I really work hard to share useful images - not just popular stuff to get likes - so this kind of input is super helpful! 🖤
