Laura Shackles, Owner of Blush and Bay

About Blush and Bay

Blush and Bay was created by Laura Shackles, a Denver native, following her love for design and events after graduating from Colorado State University in 2008. After working a number of years with a focus in wedding planning and production, as well as traveling as a meeting planner, the creativity of floral design and an entrepreneurial spirit sparked the idea to start her own venture. Ten years, hundreds of events, two children and one pandemic later, she is proud to offer bespoke designs for luxury events around the state of Colorado. She has an addiction to transforming a space and loves to be onsite to see everyone’s hard work come to fruition and be revealed to the happy and excited couple! Let's make your event unforgettable.

“Laura was truly my fairy god mother while planning our wedding. “

"From our initial phone call, I knew I was in good hands with Laura's wedding florals. Due to covid-19, our original wedding date had to be canceled and Laura was so flexible to work with during such a difficult time. She helped set up our beautiful day and helped with last minute design choices. It was always important to me to have flowers on my Chuppah, and they went above and beyond in creating the most beautiful chuppah. I honestly have never seen such beautiful flowers! I am so thankful for Laura, her kindness sets her apart from so many other vendors and I couldn't recommend her enough!"
