The Seattle Asian Art Museum is located in Volunteer Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. It is surrounded by nearly 50 acres of manicured park meadows and gardens with an unmatched Seattle skyline view. The building itself is a historic 1933 Art Deco Seattle landmark. While dreaming up our wedding design, I was immediately drawn to the building’s vast entry and the sandstone facade. The color is incredible. I wanted to create a design that both complemented this setting and color specifically, and could stand on it’s own.
Enter, spirea. This flowering plant is native to Japan and eastern Asia and the particular variety we used has long branches with tiny white flowers. We solely used spirea for the bouquet, centerpiece arrangements, ground arrangements, and the majority of the arch with a smidge of boxwood to add additional depth of greenery. Using primarily one ingredient is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and have started dabbling with over the past few seasons. As displayed in nature’s garden, flowers can beautifully grow alongside each other or stand alone with just as strong of an impact.
