Bella Signature Design featured on Azzura Cafe

One of my favorite (and most challenging) weddings was just a few weeks ago - Leah and Adam's October wedding. After changing her venue half-way through the design process, I must admit I was a bit concerned when I first saw the new venue - as nice as the Lynnwood Convention Center is, it's fluorescent lights and bulletin board covered walls didn't scream "wedding" at all, and I was concerned that the budget would not cover the transformation I had in mind. However, despite quite a few cuts from the original design, I was very happy with the overall transformation, and how we turned a meeting hall into Leah's dream wedding. The venue is actually perfect for such a transformation!!

The wedding was shot by the wonderful Tania from Azzura Photography, and is featured on their blog this week, click on Azzura Cafe to see the post! Stay tuned later this week for a timelapse video of the transformation, more photos from photographer Philip Meadows (who stopped by to shoot a few photos as well, including a room panorama), and a post on our design process, including sketches.

Thanks to Tania form Azzura, for capturing all our work (and this amazing couple) beautifully, and for featuring it on Azzura Cafe. Always a pleasure to work with you!

Introducing "Swoon": the best in dessert and favor displays

Here at Bella Signature Design we have long created custom Cake stands, beautiful dessert and candy displays, and even custom favor displays.  One of our goals has been to create "Swoon," a stand alone company that can create these displays for any wedding or event!  We are so excited to add "Swoon" to our repertoire of services, and hope that you will enjoy what we have to offer! This last weekend we were super excited to work with the very talented Jessica Holt, who not only is an amazing calligrapher and stationery designer, but is fabulous at creating all sorts of custom items to brand an event, from custom water bottle labels 

to candy/dessert bar tags. (and much, much more!) Now, although candy bars have been around for a while and are often done halfway, this one turned out so fabulously that I had to show you all!  

The wedding's color palette was mainly light pink and grapefruit(yellow), with accents of feather gray.  The custom candy bar was built by Jessica's team, (and yes, it is available for rent through us) and the backdrop sewn to match the colors of this particular event - how fun!

So excited to have Jessica part of the Bella team!
