In honor of Lauren + Jake’s 3rd Wedding Anniversary today, we are looking back at their stunning garden party wedding at Dairyland!

The best part of our job is working with couples planning the wedding of their dreams and throughout the process learning about them but in the case of Lauren + Jake we already knew them even before we started working with them.

I was honored enough to be Lauren's sorority advisor when she was at Washington State University and we were lucky enough to get the call when the love of her life, Jake finally proposed.

This couple has known each other since junior high and finally decided to say I Do at Dairyland.

For their wedding they wanted to be that fun garden party and with the backdrop of this beautiful Snohomish venue we accomplished that. 

We loved how this day played out and even more excited to see what these two can accomplish as husband and wife.

Real Wedding: Nichole + Adam

When you end your wedding with the most spectacular fireworks show, you know you have had quite the wedding and there was not doubt for this September day.

The day started with our groom arrived on his motorcycle and we knew right away today was going to be a great day.

Our bride was all about those little details. Details that some brides wouldn't care about or worry about but that was one of the things what we loved about Nichole. From the signage she made herself down to the custom cake topper which had her home state of Washington and Wisconsin for Adam.

Flowers were a huge component for our couple and Jordan with Jordan Moll Events did not disappoint we loved what she created for the arbor, honestly with the hanging geometric shapes this has to be one of our favorite ceremony set-ups.

In addition to the flowers, the couple's dessert bar was a true delicious master piece from The Cut Out Cookie. Personally, dessert bars are my new favorite option instead of a traditional wedding cake.

Real Wedding: Michelle + Taylor

It all began at the Seattle Wedding Show where we met Michelle and Taylor. They were a very fun, loving, and adventurous couple who wanted to celebrate their special day at Crystal Mountain. Fast forward to several months after planning, and things began to heat up a bit. Literally... their venue at Crystal Mountain was in danger due to the unpredictable wildfires of the PNW. Left with three days to tie the knot, Crystal Mountain had closed and we had to find a new venue as well as caterer. Even though they couldn’t have the scenic gondola ride or Mt. Rainier backdrop for their wedding, it was just as uniquely beautiful behind castle walls at Mystique Ranch. It was our first time doing a wedding there and we loved it! It felt like a fantasy wedding with a modern day rustic twist. As extra entertainment, guests were able to enjoy the barn animals, yaks, and even a peacock! Though there was a statewide fire ban and couldn’t light sparklers for their magical send off, we used white LED balloons to create their own perfect fairy-tale ending. Michelle and Taylor’s will definitely go down as one of the most unforgettable.
