Established in 2020, Faded Era offers full service wedding florals, elopement packages and special occasion local deliveries.

I gravitate toward organic, lush and textural floral designs, taking my cue from seasonal blooms. My goal is to be communicative and transparent while discussing your ideal florals and to find creative and impactful ways to bring your vision to life. I always practice eco-conscious design techniques and put local flowers first.

As a PNW kid, I grew up with an understanding and appreciation of the absolute beauty of nature. From summer camps where we learned to identify native plants to camping and hiking all around the Olympic Peninsula, I have always been drawn to the wonder of the natural world. The calling to floral design was just a whisper for the first chapter of my life; engrossed in sports for my entire adolescence, the desire to create always there, just rarely realized. After pursuing sports in college and a very fulfilling career in coaching, I now turn my attention to creation and bringing forth beauty and wonder. I have a soft spot for designs that evoke a feeling of curiosity, and I delight in bringing elements together that create visual harmony. Whether you are interested in a romantic garden inspired soiree or something modern and uncommon, I promise to bring intentionality, curiosity, and my whole heart to the project. No detail is too small and no idea is too big. My favorite feeling in the world is the magnetic pull of a vision waiting to be brought to life.

Be confident, trust your florist and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your love story is something we always keep in mind while designing your florals. But what we have found is that the way you carry yourself and the confidence you exude is far more beautiful than any bloom. You take care of you on your special day and I’ll take care of your florals.
