Tamara
owner + lead boss lady
Hailing from Bellevue, WA with her handsome husband (and SBTN accountant extraordinaire), THREE sweet boys, the cutest little girl, and adorable Westie puppy Baron, Tamara is one of the most giving, kind and generous people you will ever meet. After graduating from UW and being accepted to NYU’s dental school, Tamara felt that just wasn’t her passion, and decided to start her own wedding planning and floral design business instead. It all started with a big dream, a blog and a logo, and here we are nearly 11 years and 200+ events later. BEST JOB EVER!
