It just seems that within a blink of an eye, summer is half over. BiZi Bee, your local Seattle florist, has been busy with so many wonderful events this summer. From Grand Openings to large business events to weddings, we seem to be part of some awesome occassions! Nothing is too big or too small to have us help put that special touch into an event you’ve been planning.

I recently had the opportunity to do some gorgeous arrangements with white hydrangea, white stock, white roses, white freesia and gardenias for a elegant summer wedding shower. Thank you Carla, for calling on us!

There was also the BizJam event that we did some awesome green, black and white arrangements for Biznik, which happens to be a phenomenal business networking group! Thank you Lara and Dan!

And then, the weddings. I hope to get some pics onto the site for you to see. For one, I stayed up for a full 24 hours to make sure it was as gorgeous as anticipated with pink hydrangeas, roses, freesia, faux cherry blossoms, curly willow…I have to say, it was some of my most favorite work yet. Congrats Maria and Wendall!

Congrats to Megan and Josh for having BiZi Bee be part of your big day! They chose to have their wedding on the Skansonia. Gorgeous location! It’s an old ferry boat turned into venue. Very charming and earthy. We did organic locally grown flowers and VeriFlora certified flowers for their wedding along with recyclable containers. BiZi Bee really is all about sustainability and Mother Earth….even before it was cool!

The colors chosen for Julia and Sam were gorgeous reds, lime greens and a hint of lavender. I have to say…it was gorgeous! With dahlias (hard to come by as of last week due to a late winter), lime green fuji mums, red gerberas, red roses, belles of ireland, red spray roses, and lavender freesia…this was a truly spectacular wedding for a young couple so vibrant and full of life! Congrats Julia and Sam! With a special thanks to Judy and Pastor Jon!

Congrats to Charlene and Adam! This was a very simple affair…with cream calla lilies and cream roses. Very elegant and understated, but still wonderful to be part of!

I, Heather, wish you all the best! Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of your special day! And remember, if you ever have any questions about event florals or wedding florals, please don’t hesitate to call me at: 206-883-5522

Here we are: Wedding Season.  I can tell you that I am so very thrilled to be doing some awesome weddings this summer.  Wedding work is definately a favorite of mine.  It’s such a wonderful time to be involved with some amazing clients!  Being in love is unto itself..and for me, I get to help express your love on a very important day..your wedding day!

Being that BiZi Bee deals with organic, VeriFlora certified and local product, I like to incorporate these into the wedding events that I do.  I was sad to learn, on a recent outing to my local farms (Bothell and Woodinville), that the planting season came a little later than anticipated this year.  We had such a long winter and late Spring that many of my farms weren’t able to plant their crops until late May instead of late April as they usually do.

What this means for you: those wonderful flowers like amaranthus, dahlias, zinnia, and the like won’t be available (locally) until late July early August.  But, don’t fret…we can still get these flowers (they may be a little more costly than usual) from other places..mainly California and Canada.  So, my advice to you, if your planning  a June or July wedding, make sure to talk to your florist (I am availble to take questions via the phone as well: 206-883-5522) about the best flowers that will be available and if you have your heart set on local product only, then August and September would be awesome months to be married, as this is when most of the great locally grown flowers will be coming out.

Peonies and calla lillies that are locally grown, are nearing their end in late June this year.  They’re available from other sources until about the first few days of july.  I can tell you that the delphinium and freesia are gorgeous right now!

I have a gorgeous wedding that I will be doing this weekend for Megan and Josh that is a green “Green” wedding..meaning the flowers that are being used are that fantastic lime green colors and creams, they’re Veriflora certified and the containers for the centerpieces are totally recyclable and made from recycled materials (they’re called BlumeBoxes!)  I look forward to posting the pics on the site for all to see.

I hope this helped you out a little.  Please feel free to email me from here or give me a call.  My name is Heather and I would love to hear from you!  206-883-5522
