Kylee and Cody are straight out of a romantic comedy. They met at Central Washington University. She was a soccer player and he was a football player. It was love at first match, one could say. I had the pleasure of knowing the groom, since he was younger, and our team was thrilled to hop on board and help them plan their special day! 

The couple chose Mount Peak Farm as their venue for their wedding day. This location is stunning, and we mean stunning. Nestled in the countryside of King County, the wide open spaces and views of open fields, Mount Rainier and Mount Peak provide an amazing backdrop for a ceremony. Now, their wedding was a classic case of why it’s necessary to have a backup plan. In hindsight, planning a wedding in June, you’d think that the weather would cooperate. Well, the wedding was threatened by stormy weather, so we had to create and quickly decide on a plan b. We chose to move their ceremony to the tented reception. Although this wasn’t the exact vision we had set out for, the ceremony was still magnificent. Cody’s father, created a custom arbor for the ceremony space and it was a modern, but rustic, touch for their nuptials. 

The reception featured classic hues of blue with the table runners and glasses. The wedding centerpieces reminded us of the farm’s background, with white anemones, white accent florals, fresh greenery, and thistles. The centerpieces gave a whimsical, yet modern touch. The color blue carried on throughout the reception, with features in the cake and more. 

Kylee and Cody’s wedding was a modern take on farm wedding and proof that you can still have your perfect wedding day, even if you had to resort to plan b.

Mary and David celebrated their big day at two of our favorite, timeless venues. In today’s wedding industry, having two locations is becoming rare. More couples are opting for venues that can share both the ceremony and reception. But some couples still opt to have their ceremony and reception at two different locations. 

Mary and David chose beautiful St. Pat’s Church, in Tacoma, to say their “I do’s.” The church is a historical venue that was built in 1892. The column and archways are the perfect backdrop for walking down the aisle. Mary’s bridal gown reflected the elaborate delicacy of the church, lace sleeves and a classic silhouette. Once their nuptials were complete, the guests and wedding party headed to their reception venue, Foss Waterway Seaport, in Tacoma. This venue carries unique touches, just like the couples ceremony venue. Large, glass, modern windows allow the sunset to flow through the reception area and our couple chose simple, yet modern decor to accunate the beauty of the venue. The venue in itself, has plenty of character and pays homage to the long history of Tacoma’s industry on the water. 

Guests’ reception tables were adorned with fresh greens and white roses. Pillar candles filled the room with warm ambiance. One of our favorite touches from this reception was the thoughtfulness involved in each decision the couple made. Mary and David wanted to recognize the people in their lives who were no longer with them. The table was filled with memories of loved ones who the couple held near and dear to their heart. We love seeing personal touches in weddings, such as these. It allows you to share a piece of your heart with your guests and for your guests to learn more about you as a couple. 

Mary and David’s wedding was a joy to plan. It was a timeless affair that featured their love for each other and their love for their family and friends.

Meet Rachel + Ryan. If there’s something to know about Rachel and Ryan, it’s that family is at the heart of it all. Rachel and Ryan’s wedding day was filled with people they loved and they utilized their family in special ways on their big day. We can honestly say that their wedding was truly a family affair. So, let’s dive into their rustic event, one detail at a time. 

Their wedding venue was the lush and gorgeous Trinity Tree Farm. Trinity Tree Farm is nestled in Issaquah, Washington deep in the heart of the Northwest. The venue is home to various rustic features, perfect for guests who love and enjoy the pacific northwest outdoors.

Their photographer, Wanderlost Imagery, captured the essence of their wedding throughout the day. We designed Rachel and Ryan’s ceremony space on the green lawn of the venue. With the venue’s pride and joy, trees of course, creating the perfect backdrop to say their nuptials. Pops of white florals and classic chairs created a contrast to the green scenery of the space.

Their ceremony included meaningful touches of family. Rachel and Ryan said “I Do” with the help of Rachel’s grandfather. Her grandfather had the role of the officiant for their ceremony. Rachel’s dress, from I Do Bridal, added an intricate touch to their wedding day. She paired her stunning tulle and lace dress with a headpiece passed down throughout her family. 

As the ceremony closed, guests were ushered into the cozy reception venue. The lodge was the perfect backdrop for dinner, which included dazzling twinkle lights from the ceiling. We worked with the couple to tie in some of the key features of their venue. Their reception tables were named after different types of trees and their centerpieces gave ode to the scenery outside.

Tables were filled with warm candlelight, fresh greenery, while floral scents filled the air. Hydrangeas and dainty ranunculus added some contrast to the wedding reception tables. Their guests enjoyed a tasty and heartfelt dinner by the Tall Chef, who specializes in events and weddings within the pacific northwest. Guests danced the night away with entertainment, by Dubreezy entertainment. 

This wedding was the perfect way to start our summer wedding season. Rachel and Ryan created a warm, family affair that celebrated their love. Their wedding featured what the pacific northwest is known for, lush scenery and fresh air.
