5 ways to go the extra mile for your guests
Part of a fabulous wedding is thinking about the experience your guests will have. I like to have couples walk themselves through how their guests will experience the wedding day. From entrance to exit.
#1 How to Go The Extra Mile for Your Guests: Shower Them With Flowers
Flowers make people feel loved, honored and well cared for.
You can shower your guests with flowers in a variety of ways:
Corsages for the extra-special women.
Boutonnieres for the extra-special men.
Beautiful flowers on the table while your guests dine. This could come in the form of a garland, cluster of bud vases or luxurious centerpieces.
Wow them with lush and romantic backdrops. This could come in the form of floral arches, floral walls and extra-lush arrangements placed at the bar, the welcome table and wherever else guests will be spending time. You could also give them an opportunity to have their picture taken with some of the florals.

A floral arch is a popular way to adorn the ceremony with lush floral. GO HERE to read more about the floral arch
Corsages are an inexpensive way to honor your guests and make them feel extra special.
#2 How to Go The Extra Mile for Your Guests: Write a personal note to each guest.
We all know how it feels to travel to a wedding and then barely get to see the couple. And let’s face it, you’re going to be busy! It’s unlikely you will get to spend as much time as you like with each of your guests.
That’s why I love this simple act of writing an individual note to each guest.
I received a note from my step brother on his wedding day and I’m still thinking about it many years later.
If you plan ahead, you can pull this off in relatively little time. Plan to write a few notes per day so that you’re all finished by your wedding day. In addition, this note can serve as a marker for your assigned seats.
What a fabulous exercise in practicing gratitude. You will generate so many warm, loving and positive emotions in regards to each of your guests that you will be overflowing with joy.
And joy is the place where you need to be spending most of your wedding day!
I gave the idea of the personal note to Nicole and Garrett who were married in July of 2022 at The Salted Roots Cabins in Seward, AK.
#3 How to Go The Extra Mile for Your Guests: Give toasts to your guests of honor.
Everyone likes to be recognized. This is such a lovely and traditional way to call people out, and recognize them.
Think of 3-5 people you and your spouse could recognize and write a quick 30 - 60 second toast to each.
If you’re shy about speaking up in front of a crowd of people (like I was at my wedding), practice before-hand, know it’s OK to feel nervous and don’t be afraid to use notes.
#4 How to Go The Extra Mile for Your Guests: Make a point to look each guest in the eye at least once and give them a hug or warm handshake.
Your wedding is not only for you and your spouse. That’s what elopements are for!
Make time in your wedding schedule to connect one on one with each guest, even if it’s just for a few minutes each.
If you have a longer guest list, you could make this happen by organizing a receiving line, or scheduling in a time to visit each person during dinner.
Another idea I love is setting up a small table behind the bride and groom with two chairs. Folks can be invited to visit this table and spend some one-on-one time with the bride and groom.
#5 How to Go The Extra Mile for Your Guests: Write Thank-You notes.
There’s nothing better than a hand-written thank you note mailed to someone’s door a week after they attended your wedding.
Give yourself a deadline for this, so you don’t forget. Then set aside 30 minutes per day until it’s completed.
Make sure you put this task in your calendar or planner so you know it will get done.
If you take a few of these ideas and implement them, your guests will leave your wedding feel loved, cherished and full of warmth.

How to plan for your dream wedding flowers.
Here are 4 simple tips to help you plan your dream wedding flowers.
I help plan around 20 + weddings per year. From elopements to large, full traditional weddings I create my client’s dream wedding flowers.
After meeting with hundreds of clients over the years I’ve come up with some simple and actionable tips for streamlining your wedding flower planning.
In this blog I’m breaking down the wedding flower planning process into four simple steps:
1) Make a list of the items you need.
2) Curate an inspiration photo collection.
3) Schedule a meeting or consult with your desired florist.
4) Book your florals and move on.
How to plan your wedding flowers STEP 1: Make your dream wedding florals list.
Planning your dream wedding flowers starts with deciding what floral pieces are most important to you.
I like to have people visualize traveling through their wedding as a guest in order to help them decide where to place flowers. Dream big here and write down everything.
Write down everything you need for your ceremony and everything you need for your reception. Create a list of “must-haves” and “may-likes” and be open to suggestions when the time comes to talk with your florist.
Not sure what you need or what is customary? Don’t be shy about asking your florist any and all flower related questions. Most florists want to give you exactly what you want - nothing more and nothing less.

How to plan your wedding flowers STEP 2: Wedding flower inspiration photos.
Creating a curated pintrest board or a select collection of inspiration photos is key when planning your dream wedding flowers.
I suggest honing your inspiration photos to 1-3 photos per piece. For example, if you want an arch, find 1-3 photos that best represent your dream arch. Fewer is best as it's easier to communicate what you’re looking for if you can narrow your focus.
Just start searching around for images on the web. Keywords my clients are most recently into include: “garden inspired wedding bouquet”, “unique and boho wedding flowers”, “wildflower wedding bouquet”, “dried flower wedding bouquet”.
In addition, search for your specific pieces like “floral pillar with peonies” or “full floral arch with roses”. You can also include your venue in the search in order to see how others have decorated with flowers.
Don’t get wrapped up in needing to know floral varieties. In fact, I suggest you do not request specific varieties. This will allow the florist to use whatever looks the most amazing when buying or sourcing locally.
Let your florist pick the flowers. You focus instead on your desired colors and floral style. This will free you up to focus on other aspects of planning your wedding.

How to plan your wedding flowers STEP 3: Your meeting with a wedding florist.
Most florists offer a consultation to talk about your wedding. Some charge a small amount for this meeting and some offer complementary meetings.
Here’s how to get the most out of your meeting with your florist.
Talk with your florist about your vision and the guest experience you want to create. If you’re not sure yet what you want, take some time to sit down and think this through.
Think about how best to highlight flowers at your particular venue. Think about how you want to honor your guests with flowers. If you’re not sure about any of these things, ask your florist if they have recommendations for using flowers at a particular venue. Ask them how best to honor guests at a wedding.
Bring your list of floral items to your meeting. Sometimes florists can give a price range over the phone, other times they will come back to you with a more precise quote later.
I usually give a price range over the phone. Then after our creative call and after I see inspiration photos and exact numbers of all the floral pieces, I can then write up a detailed proposal that includes itemized pricing.
Most often, people come to our first meeting without their inspiration photos organized. If you have your photos, great! Either way is fine.
If you can get your photos ready before your first meeting, then we can look them over together and you can tell me what you like about them. But most often, folks go out and get them after our meeting.
And finally, have a list of questions to ask your florist. This can be anything from pricing, to delivery details to the booking process.
How to plan your wedding flowers STEP 4: Book your florist and move on to the next thing.
Decision fatigue is a real thing. And when planning a wedding, making lots of decisions can wear you down.
I suggest making quick and informed decisions and then having your own back and moving on. What do I mean by having your own back? Make your decision, love it and don’t second guess yourself.

I’d love to hear from you!

And then GO HERE for our first step in planning YOUR dream wedding flowers.
Best Wedding Venues in Girdwood, Alaska
Here are two of my favorite Alaskan wedding venues, Raven Glacier Lodge and The Alyeska Hotel. Both are nestled in the picturesque ski town of Girdwood, Alaska.
Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in the world. That’s why it is one of the best places to find an amazing wedding venue.
Aside from a longish airplane ride, Alaska it is relatively easy to get to. Once here, the wilds of the Alaskan wilderness are at your fingertips.
Anchorage, our major city, is only a short drive from so many potential jaw-dropping Alaskan wedding venues and elopement locales.
Here I’d like to highlight two wedding venues in the cozy resort town of Girdwood, Alaska that get you worlds away from the hustle bustle and into the remote-feeling wilds of Alaska.
Weddings Venues in Girdwood, Alaska
Girdwood is a very popular wedding destination for locals and out-of-towners. It is a 45-60 minute drive from Anchorage and is situated at the base of our largest downhill ski resort.
It’s a resort town so there are many Airbnb and hotel options for guests. That said, it is a small community, so booking early is always recommended.
Weddings at The Alyeska Resort
A fabulous location for a larger and more formal wedding would be the Alyeska Resort.
Folks often take a tram ride to the top with their guests and hold their ceremony on the mountaintop overlooking the Chugach Mountain range, Turnagain Arm and the cozy, woodsy town of Girdwood.
Receptions can be held inside the hotel at the base of the mountain in one of the banquet halls. It is formal, classy and absolutely gorgeous.
In-house catering is available, which makes that part of your planning a breeze.
A tram-ride makes the mountains completely accessible to guests that may have a harder time getting around.

Weddings at Raven Glacier Lodge
If you’re planning a smaller wedding and want a cozier feel you must book the Raven Glacier Lodge. It is a classic Alaskan establishment.
You can host around 50 guests, outdoors, under their magical porch. Kathy, the owner, and her team cater your meal. All you have to do is bring the guests, flowers (book a call with me for that HERE), music and a planner if you desire.
I’ve created florals here on many occasions and I can say weddings here are pure magic.

One of my favorite things about weddings in Girdwood is that the coast is a short distance away. You can definitely schedule time to grab some breathtaking photos on the rocky and rugged beach of Turnagain Arm.
Go here to view another fall wedding at Raven Glacier Lodge in Girdwood, Alaska: Rebekah & Chaz Fall Wedding
When thinking about your decor and flowers for Raven Glacier Lodge, think about adding bright pops to contrast the darker woods and dark, moody coastline.
I love how Danielle’s bright autumn bouquet stands out against the striking backdrop of rocks.

MaryAlice Beauty - Interview with an Anchorage hair and makeup artist.
I first met MaryAlice in a photoshoot I organized for my business, Turnstone Farm.
After my last shoot I learned a lot: get a haircut the day before, hire a professional to do my makeup.
Because, seriously it is quite possible that you will break out the day of your photoshoot, wedding or other special event. Plan ahead!
After working with MaryAlice, I knew I wanted to work with her again and refer all my clients to her.
She is warm-hearted, calming and has a soothing way about her that puts everyone at ease.
Her energy is just a perfect fit for a hectic wedding day.
I was so thrilled to talk with her more in depth about her business and more importantly, beauty.

How long has she been in business?
MaryAlice has been in business doing hair and makeup for over 10 years. She’s always had a passion for it and has completely fallen in love with the power of the beauty industry.
How long does it take to get someone ready (do their hair and makeup)?
Set up can vary based on the type of wedding.
Elopements are more relaxed and can take less prep time depending on the look.
For large wedding parties, she often starts at 7:00 or 7:30 am to make sure the whole wedding party has time to be prepped.
Even without a big wedding party, couples often do first looks which can take an hour and a half of time with a photographer. So it’s best to plan for plenty of time to get ready.
Does she have any advice to couples getting married?
MaryAlice wants to encourage you to get really clear about the vision for your wedding. In fact she offers Creative Strategy Sessions for couples wishing to nail down their dream vision.
She’s noticed that the people who are the clearest about their vision are the happiest. MaryAlice’s interdisciplinary career has given her opportunity to build a lot of skill as a creative problem solver.
As a start, ask yourself why - why are we doing this? How do we want people to experience this? There is no right or wrong answer. It’s just important to be clear. With clarity, all the decisions you need to make will become easier.
What exactly is a Creative Strategy Session?
It’s a conversation without a custom end goal for each person. It’s a process of guiding and reflecting back the vision that is emerging and being heard to create clarity for everyone involved. It’s finding patterns in your thoughts. It’s finding your why for your event and most importantly creating space for what you actually want.
Having a guide to help you figure out what you want can be incredibly powerful.
MaryAlice loves weddings because they are already a creative endeavor. Artful gatherings, traditions, logistics and a ton of emotional meaning are always involved in weddings. Design sprints. Creative process. Disguised in different names: sprints, accelerators. Merge the two to support people creating their vision. Helping people have a creative vision who can bring that together. Having a crystal clear vision. There’s a thousand different ways they can go.

How far out do people need to book her for a wedding?
People start booking around December for summer weddings. Each wedding party gets a custom quote for pricing as it varies depending on time, size of groups and desired looks.
To determine this custom quote you can fill out an inquiry on her website in order to find out more. GO HERE to do that: https://www.instagram.com/maryalice.beauty/
I have my own story about why to outsource makeup and hair! But I wanted to know in her words… why should someone hire MaryAlice and not just DIY it?
Makeup is such a felt sense, wearing it's a sensory experience.
A professional can use makeup to transform you into many different moods. If the tool is not used in a way that supports your desired feeling, it can become an experience that doesn’t honor your goal. It’s really all about an experience.
Hiring a professional can also create a buffer between relationships. If your best friend offers to do your makeup, yes this may save you money but if you are not happy with the end result or the process it may create added relational tension. No one wants this added stress on their wedding day.
MaryAlice has heard so many stories of this happening and it makes sense to give yourself clear boundaries with important wedding details.
You tie things to people and you want to enjoy each moment and boundaries are a great way to keep it uncomplicated. There is so much psychology in the art of beauty.
She strongly recommends doing a trial run for folks that aren’t used to wearing makeup. It can feel weird, whether you’re wearing fake lashes for the first time or just putting on a thin layer of lip gloss. Everyone has a different comfort level for makeup.
To some people it can feel dramatic like putting on a costume. The most important thing is making sure you feel comfortable with your choices so that you don’t have extra discomfort during an already energetically charged social situation.
I always like hearing about other wedding vendors. What vendors does she like working with?
MaryAlice loves Lauren Roberts and Megan Freeman for videography and photography.
As for planners, she says there are so many great options. We both agreed that communication style and personality really matters when hiring a planner. If you have the chance to interview a few by all means do it!
On another note, MaryAlice gets excited when people find ways to use more small businesses for the in-between experiences/gatherings that happen around weddings.
Is there a way to incorporate some of our favorite small businesses into your special day or weekend?
Like Wild Scoops, Fire Island Bakeshop, Cynosure Brewing (or any other brewery in town). The Spa at Alyeska, etc. Get creative!
There are so many options for creating fun and new experiences for friends, family and guests who visit Alaska to be a part of your day.

I love giving my clients cool ways to wow their guests, and transform their event.
Is there a story that stands out in her mind of a couple going above and beyond?
She loves when families personalize their weddings. One couple canned their family’s smoked salmon and gave it to guests. Those small personal touches make events so special.
She remembers one of her first wedding experiences as a teenager of attending a beautiful pre-reception night. It was an elegant backyard party an evening before her cousin’s wedding.
Most of the guests were invited to this casual and classy dinner. People told stories about their relationships with the bride and groom and gave toasts.
An event like this makes the actual wedding day so much more cohesive. People have already had the chance to meet and to put each other in context. This allows everyone to feel more involved in the many different connections.
It also gives your most beloved people the chance for friendships and new relationships to spark. What an awesome gift.
I wanted to know what one goal MaryAlice has for her business this year or next?
She says she is really excited to launch her new website.
And as always, she is excited to do more weddings. MaryAlice loves being a part of weddings. She likes being a part of intimate moments and joy while helping people feel their best.
At a wedding you are part of a collaboration and that group energy is contagious. She gets super energized with all the love that is shared and learning about families and how all the relationships were born.
It can be such an intimate experience with people. She loves hearing stories and hearing about all the different ways people come together in life.
I wanted to know the one thing MaryAlice wants her soon to be clients to know?
MaryAlice likes to make people feel comfortable being seen in these special moments.
She wants you to know that your vision is unique and there is no one right way to be a “bride”, there can be a lot of societal stories that come pouring in once you start planning a wedding.
She wants to help build a vision with you that you’ll love.

The Exact Questions I ask my Clients and Why
Taking the first step to explore wedding flowers means hopping on the phone with me. Don’t worry! While this is my job and I want to make sales, my main goal is to determine if you and I can work together well.
If so we can go to the next step (yay!).
In our initial free phone call I want to get to know you and what you care about. I am not here to sell! I am simply here to listen and take in all our dreams and challenges in planning your special day.
So to give a little snapshot of what we’ll talk about, here is a list of 10 questions I may ask you. If you don’t have all these figured out yet, don’t worry! I am here to help. It’s my job after all!
1) How did you two meet?
I love hearing about how a couple met. It gives me a snapshot in time of one of the most beautiful moments in your relationship. These stories stick in my head for a long time and it makes me feel like I really know you (even though we just met).
2) Tell me a little about you two.
This is an open ended question I ask in my initial inquiry on my website. Although it is not required I usually get an answer.
Folks talk about where they’re from, what they do for work, what they like to do together. They talk about their pets or kids. And again, it helps me get to know you right away!
3) How do you want your guests to feel?
This is my favorite question. And honestly it is a question I wish I would have asked myself when planning my wedding.
It’s important to remember that while this is your wedding and the start to your marriage your guests are there to support you and celebrate in the creation of a couple. Remember to honor them. Remember to set the stage for an intentional feeling. This could be “loved”, “honored”, “welcomed”, “enchanted”, etc.
I challenge you to do a little brainstorming here! And then let that feeling guide you as you plan every detail.
4) What kind of floral pieces do you want?
Floral pieces include the following: bridal bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, corsages (pin-on or wrist), boutonniere, ceremony flowers and reception flowers.
If you’re unsure what some these mean or which ones you “need”, don’t worry - we can talk through all this on the phone!
5) What is your floral color palette?
Usually folks have colors in mind based on bridal party attire, favorite colors, seasonal colors or some amazing inspiration photos you’ve found.
Sometimes folks don’t have a color palette and just want me to use what is beautiful and in season. I can work with almost anything! And I can help you narrow your color ideas into something you love.
6) What is your budget?
Most customers have a wedding flower budget of between 10% and 20% of their total wedding cost.
More often than not, couples have no idea what flowers cost, thus don’t really know what their budget is. And not surprisingly! This is after all, probably your first time planning a wedding.
I can do two things here - I can tell you what you can get with your desired spend amount OR I can give you a proposal based on your desired floral pieces and vision.
7) Who are your other vendors?
I have a few vendors I love working with. And I’m always learning about more!
If you don’t have a certain vendor booked yet I am happy to refer some of my absolute favorites.
The vendors you choose also give me a little more info about your style and overall vision.
Oh wait, what is a vendor?? Venue, chapel, caterer, photographer, videographer, hair stylist, make-up artist, musician, DJ, etc.
8) Do you have any questions for me?
I always save a few minutes for you to ask me anything!
I’ve designed for dozens of weddings and have planned my own wedding. Plus, I’m a flower farmer! It’s safe to say that I know flowers. I also am obsessed with kindness, connection and love. I want you and your guests to get the absolute most out of your wedding day.
5 Things to Consider When Planning your Wedding Flowers
Wedding planning can be A LOT!
Especially since for most of us mortals, the biggest thing we've organized is a dinner party.
Just the sheer number of decisions to make can be daunting.
So just to get you prepped for ONE (but one very important) part of your wedding, YOUR FLOWERS, here's a few things to start mulling over in order to get exactly what you want.
And while you're thinking these things through, remember that YOUR FLOWERS WILL BE MEMORIALIZED IN YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS FOREVER!
It is for this reason that while the experience of your wedding is so important. People remember what you do and how you make them feel…
Your attire and flowers are right up at the top of the list for importance.
So here are 5 things to consider when planning your wedding flowers.
1) Size.
Size does matter! But it's all dependent on what you want.
Big, small - YOU decide! Sometimes size can match your body size but mostly I tell people just to go with what feels good.
Do you want your flowers to make a statement? Go bigger.
Do you like small and dainty? Go smaller.
Do you want to communicate abundance? Go bigger.
Leanne is holding the quintessential Turnstone Farm bouquet: it is big and wild and reminiscent of holding a garden in your hands.
2) Shape.
Cascade, upright, vertical, loose, tight. What kind of shape do you like?
Hop on google and peek around - get a sense of what you like! If you're looking for trends, here's what's hot right now: loose, wild-flower like, slightly cascading, or vertically sprawling (and I'm loving it). But honestly, you don't need to give a crap about what other people like. This is YOUR FREAKING wedding.
Elizabeth wanted a large and wild-flower like bouquet. Most of my large bouquets can be held in such a way as to create a slight draping cascade.
3) Color.
Often when folks come to me, they have already decided on a color palate. I just match my seasonal blooms with their attire and other decorations. But if you're not sure yet, peek around on Google. See what you like. Ask yourself why you like something.
Color can be fun!
Let it be fun!
And after designing and seeing hundreds of wedding photos, the most colorful bouquets look the best in photographs.
Fun fact: I used to be scared of color. As an artist, I felt like there were just too many options.
That's why I've always loved black and white photography and printmaking. You can keep it simple!
But since flowers came into my life it's fair to say that I"m color-obsessed. If you're stuck on color - I'm here to help.
Rebekah and her bridesmaids are holding bright and cheerful fall bouquets which really pop against the woodland backdrop.
4) Varieties.
Here’s what I would recommend - be open to having lots of different varieties in you floral designs! Roses and carnations don't have to be boring. Wildflowers don't have to be boho. But they can be!
I say if you're obsessed with a variety and it's in season let's make it happen! But if not, there are so many amazing flowers.
I want to fill your bouquet and arrangements with as many varieties as possible. Because you know what's in right now? Texture. How do you get texture? Lots of variety!
Marielle holds a farmed and foraged bouquet of Alaskan Grown flowers and foliage.
5) Floral pieces.
Maybe I should have started with this one. But I think deciding what you need to have is so dependent on the following.
What do you want your wedding to FEEL like?
What is most important to you?
These answers may help guide your decision as to whether you need a full floral arch or want to give bouquets to the moms (which is an idea I honestly LOVE - as a mom, I will be a joyful, tearful mess if I get a bouquet from my kids on their wedding day).
For Rosalyn, the most important floral pieces were her bridal bouquet and her full floral arch.
