Real Wedding: Mai + Ben

Mai + Ben's August Wedding Ceremony at World Trade Center West (Seattle) and Reception at the Tea Palace (Renton) had everything you could have asked for and more.

First meeting the couple at the 2014 Seattle Wedding Show, this amazing couple knew they wanted a great party for their closet 400+ friends and family  following an incredibly intimate ceremony.

With a color scheme of ombre purples, this very organized bride wanted every aspect of her dream wedding to include purple, whether it was her cake, bridesmaid dresses, flowers, programs, flowers, place cards to even the dessert table, she left no detail out. 

There were so many details and surprises for guests at every stop. From the step and repeat at the wedding reception to the groom's cake to the amazing Emcee to not 1 by 2 dress changes, guests were entertained for the entire night and we were thankful to be part of such a spectacular day.

Real Wedding Preview: Krista + Mike

Today I am switching it up and instead of reviewing a past wedding, I wanted to dedicate this week's post to today's wedding of Krista + Mike.

It's a bittersweet moment for me and the culmination of a year planning today's big day at The Foundry by Herban Feast.

I first met Krista in 2009 when she was a student at Santa Clara University and a member of Alpha Phi. Krista and the two of us kept in touch over the next two years. Krista went on to become an intern in the summer of 2011. She has always had a special place in my heart since she worked my sister's wedding then she stepped up to assist me a few years later while she was in law school at the University of Washington.

I was blown away when Krista reached out to me shortly after getting engaged to Mike, a Coug (which already scored big points with me) and then the wedding planning commenced.

I have been blessed to have been part of this very special day and I know that the amazing team of vendors that Krista + Mike have selected is going to make their dream wedding come true.

Now I am not going to be giving any spoilers so you will have to make sure you follow us on Snapchat and Instagram to see the progress of this amazing wedding.

To the bride and groom, thank you for allowing me to go on this unbelievable journey with you two and I am forever grateful and I love you both so much!

Hey y'all! This is Lori and when I'm not obssesed about all of my fabulous couples you can find me, rather hear me cheering loudly for my two boys on the football field or wrestling mat. My latest obsession, well at least this year (last year was sewing) is hand lettering. Finally if ever need a friend to drink a good frozen strawberry or raspberry Margarita then I'm your girl!

Make sure to catch me here every Saturday where I look back our favorite weddings over the past decade!
