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.
