Congratulations on your engagement! We are thrilled you are here and have chosen to explore hiring us as your wedding planner, designer, and florist.
juliet + lou is a full service event planning, design, and floral design studio based in the greater Seattle area. j+l is named after co-creators and sisters, Elsa Juliet Walker and Hannah Louise Ham.
We’ve been planning and designing events for as long as we can remember, though officially launched our small business in 2015 out of a passion for design and assisting engaged couples and their families.
We look forward to getting to know you and potentially partnering with you in creating a celebration unique to you and your relationship.
XO,
Elsa Juliet Walker + Hannah Louise Ham
"We can hardly find the words to express how incredible Elsa and her team are! Her calm and kind demeanor was a comforting presence, and she always seemed to appear at just the right moments, guiding us and making sure everything was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner."
- Lauren + Parker
Who you are, your story, experiences, interests, and loved ones matter to us. We truly care about our clients. We want to know when your birthday is, that special place you grew up vacationing, how you smile at your finace’s jokes. We believe by spending time with you, we get to build a special relationship with you and create a celebration that reflects who you are as a couple, as only friends could do. We are your project manager, your personal assistant, and advocate.
As artists, j+l events are inspired by a shared love of fashion, interior design, fine art, music, and natural elements found around the world. We have a holistic design approach, choosing florals and design components that complement the season and venue.
All our florals area crated in-house, using local blooms and through sustainable practices as much as possible. We pay special attention to how each element naturally opens and falls, in order to create a more romantic, effortless piece. Our wild, garden-inspired arrangements and clean lines often used in our design create a timeless, romantic event for the modern bride.
We spend hours on your wedding, researching the best vendors for you, setting up and attending meetings, reviewing contracts, negotiating offerings, and finding the best products and florals for your design to create a concept that’s unique to you. We intentionally only take on a limited number of weddings per year so our clients receive the best service.
“Elsa and our team are absolutely incredible! I cannot imagine planning our wedding without them. From the very beginning, she helped us organize a spectacular wedding weekend for our friends and family. She gave us amazing referrals and helped us put together the best team of vendors. I was overwhelmed by all of the small details and she made everything come together seamlessly. Elsa and her team transformed our venue with gorgeous florals, drapery, and beautiful detail elements. Elsa was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and calm throughout the entire process.”

“In addition to her outstanding planning services, we were also blown away by Elsa’s amazing design skills and most especially, her beautiful floral designs. She took our preferences into account and worked with us to select the perfect flowers and arrangements to complement our wedding theme and colors. She was even able to source almost all our favorite flowers (something that was incredibly important to the bride). The floral arrangements on the wedding day were absolutely breathtaking and surpassed our expectations. They were [one of] the highlights of the event, adding a touch of grandeur and elegance that made our day even more memorable. The floral runners/centerpieces at our reception were particularly breathtaking, and we received countless compliments from our guests.”
- Kara + Reid

Elsa Juliet Walker
My love for weddings started during my engagement season with my now husband, Tyson. The details, the design, the relational aspects- after a few years of dabbling in the industry, my sister, Hannah, and I were all in.
Tyson and I celebrated our twelfth wedding anniversary this past June and are still deeply in love. He’s been my biggest supporter in my wedding planning career from day 1. We live in southeast Lynnwood with our three little girlies, Leighton Savoy (7), Vienna Juliet (4), and Rae Elizabeth (2). These ladies have grown up as industry babies. They enjoy coming down to our studio to see what I’m designing and occasionally help fill vessels with water or create bud vases- Leighton is actually really good at it. Tyson and I enjoy gardening, exploring the PNW’s best restaurants and cooking at home for our family and friends, both new and old.
I’m also a big fan of:
- Audio books | primarily the classics, all Emily Henry, and fiction
- Rom-com’s | Clueless forever
- Dates | brunch with friends, concerts with Tyson (we’ve seen Johnnyswim 6x), a day trip to the islands, a bike ride by the beach- you get it
- Traveling |
- Group workout classes | currently on a Pilates kick
- Fashion | period.
XO,
Elsa

“Working with Elsa was hands down one of the very best decisions I made for my wedding. I cannot overemphasize how incredible she is at her job. More than just picking out beautiful flowers & understanding color patterns, she cared so deeply about what I wanted and had such a beautiful vision for every little detail. Her style is so modern & beyond the ordinary & elevates the entire ambiance.”
