Partnering with Flower Gold Florals

We are so excited to share that Silk & Shadows is officially partnering with Flower Gold Florals, a Vancouver, Washington based wedding florist serving couples throughout Oregon and Washington. This partnership grew naturally through working together on weddings and styled events and realizing how well our approaches align. We both care deeply about thoughtful design, collaboration, and creating weddings that truly reflect the people at the center of them.

Flower Gold Florals is led by Amber Elkind, a floral designer trained at the Floral Design Institute in Portland, Oregon. Amber’s work is rooted in seasonality, local sourcing, and a genuine love for flowers that feel organic and intentional rather than overly styled. From wedding bouquets and centerpieces to ceremony florals, arches, and installations, her designs bring warmth, texture, and life into every space. Each arrangement is created with care and tailored to the couple’s vision, whether that means something romantic and lush or clean and understated.

At Silk & Shadows, we focus on wedding planning, styling, and rentals that feel considered and personal. We believe a wedding should flow beautifully, feel like an experience, and reflect the couple from start to finish. Working closely with Flower Gold Florals allows us to design spaces where florals and styling speak the same language. When planning and floral design are aligned from the beginning, everything feels more cohesive, intentional, and effortless.

What we love most about this partnership is the shared approach. We both value clear communication, collaboration, and taking the time to understand what matters most to our couples. There is no one size fits all here. Every wedding is different, and working together allows us to support that individuality while keeping the process calm and enjoyable.

For couples planning a wedding in Portland, Vancouver, or anywhere in Oregon and Washington, this partnership means a more seamless experience from planning through execution. Whether you are envisioning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, we are excited to bring together planning, styling, rentals, and floral design in a way that feels beautiful, grounded, and true to you.

If you are looking for a wedding planner and stylist in Oregon or a wedding florist in Vancouver, Washington who truly collaborate, we would love to connect and start dreaming with you.
