“Create a festive and elevated Halloween inspired tablescape by pairing black glassware, black dishware, and black flatware as the foundation of your design! Then you can add a few unexpected details; crystals, sage smudge sticks topped with dried marigolds, mini white pumpkins, rose gold dipped raven’s feathers, white prayer candles, black taper candles, and a modern flower arrangement featuring deep purple anemones, lavender roses, orange berries, and maple leaves.” -Jessica Carrillo, Art & Soul Events

“Heidi and Tyler went for a moody look with their floral to make their venue (Union Pine in Portland, OR) an intimate space to gather with friends and family. Good Seed Floral helped us transform this blank canvas into a bohemian dream with lush colors consisting of creams, burgundies, and greens.” -Ashley Lachney, Owner + Lead Planner, Alston Mayger Events

“Getting married in the Fall is one of the most popular and best times of the year! There are so many ways to incorporate fall decor through the florals or tones that you incorporate into your wedding. Ask your florist to include fall tones or certain florals, that are specific to that time of the year! I love to even include fruits that are specific to the season like pomegranates. It’s such a fun way to add to the decor and florals!” -Kari Dirksen, Feathered Arrow Events
