Patina Design and Planning is here to meet your destination wedding needs. Though functioning under one banner Patina Floral and Patina Planning are two aspects of this wedding service that will provide you with high-end help whether as separate services or together.

Destination weddings in rural communities offer many challenges to the planning of a wedding. It is also filled with worries about the look and feel of it. Wanting to keep the natural world in an elegant celebration, wanting this wondrous, rugged landscape melded into a sophisticated affair. 

How do we do it?
We do this drawing upon the extraordinary palette of colour and texture found everywhere in this wonderland; by blending this palette with the freshest flowers from the farmers market to the fields of El Salvador.  We do it by keeping current with ideas from around the world and finding distinct ways to use them, making them a unique expression of you. We do it by accessing years of design experience and by maintaining a careful attention to detail.

Our experience working at the Inn at Ship Bay, Rosario Resort, The Odd Fellows Hall or any one of the other beautiful Orcas properties enables us to provide sound advice while adding that quintessential touch of magic.

Leslie Ginnes, owner and principal designer and planner of Patina says:

“I’ve learned that the key to my success is your satisfaction — understanding your needs, your objectives, your style, and making sure your wedding is an expression of all three.”

Patina will do it seamlessly and transparently. You will be confident that your vision is being brought to life as you get ready for this long awaited moment. Beginning to end, you’re free to focus on what it’s really all about; savoring the moment, being with the ones you love, celebrating and sanctifying your love.
