Once again, we got the great opportunity to create florals for the Rockin’ Roll Marathon here in Seattle. It was our own little marathon of sorts, with events spread out over three days in various locations across the city. So much fun! We created florals for the VIP Party at the Experience Music Project, an amazing structure designed by Frank Gehry, as well as arrangements for both the starting line and finish line VIP tents. For the EMP space, we chose a clean and simple color palette of whites and greens with silver accents. The space has so much vibrance and life that we wanted to create something modern and elegant to stand out amongst all the wonderful color. For the finish line and starting line we brought in vibrant reds for a punch of color.  With some of the best weather Seattle has to offer and a record breaking crowd, we could not have had a better time being part of such a fabulous event!

If you didn’t happen to see the tens of thousands of runners and hundreds of bands in the streets two weekends ago in Seattle, then you may have heard of the inaugural Rock n’ Roll Marathon on the news.  We were delighted to service the company with florals for their VIP events in Seattle.

The guests were treated to a dinner party the night before the race at the Museum of Flight and we were asked to provide the centerpiece table arrangements in the theme colors, which we think worked very well with the 747′s in the background.

The race started in Tukwila and finished at Qwest Field in downtown Seattle, and while we did not have flowers every two miles with each of the rock bands staged along the way, we did deck out the VIP tents at the starting line, the finish line and at that night’s musical performance by Keb’ Mo’ at Marymoor Park in Redmond.

It was so much fun to be a part of the buzz (without actually having to run the 26 miles that so many brave souls did)!
