A Look Back | Cultural Explosion Wedding | World Trade Center-Seattle

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 Seattle Wedding Show, this amazing couple knew they wanted a great party for their closet 500+ 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.

From the Bride: We initially fell in love with Thornewood Castle as our wedding venue and were really inspired to make our wedding classic & elegant to match the feel we got when walking around the castle & garden. My husband is European, so we loved having the ability to tie in his heritage to our big day through Thornewood. We decided on blush & gold as our wedding colors to tie back to the classic theme and immediately began working with our planner & florist to determine how to accentuate the features of this gorgeous venue without stealing away from it's natural beauty--and our team totally nailed it! Food was also extremely important to us and we were blown away by Twelve Baskets, Better than a Boyfriend, & Celebrity Cake Studio and our guests totally agreed. On the big day, we were SO impressed with how everything came together. From the beautiful garden ceremony, to the gorgeous reception underneath a tent in the back lawn & dancing and drinking in the grand ballroom, our day felt like it was straight out of a fairytale. Our wedding planner & team were beyond helpful throughout the entire process and were instrumental in making everything run smoothly and turn out perfect. We were SO thankful to have Stephanie Cristalli & Belscope Weddings there as well to help capture our big day and were blown away by the photos and videos we got to take away afterwards. In short, our day was a complete dream and above & beyond anything we could have ever imagined! We are so thankful for the wonderful team that helped make our dream wedding come to life and would highly recommend all of our incredible vendors to any bride & groom looking to create their perfect day!

A Look Back | Maui in Seattle | Seattle Tennis Club

We brought a piece of Maui to Seattle for Brittney + Brandon's wedding at the Seattle Tennis Club. How do you ask? Well, when Brandon proposed to Brittney during a vacation to Maui they thought it would be great to get married in Paradise, but ultimately decided to stay close to home and wed in Seattle. Working with this interior designer she had a beautiful vision for her big day and we were tasked to executing it.

Besides the gorgeous scenic backdrop of Lake Union and the unbelievable warm weather that day, we infused their love of Maui with lush greenery for their ceremony. Love Blooms truly outdid themselves with floral garlands that lined the aisle that was later repurposed down the venue's staircase along with floating candles.

Brittney really thought of all the details including the gold laser cut place cards that greeted guests at their seats to the incredible dessert bar created by the help of a few of her bridesmaids as well as the potted plants that lined the stairwell leading guests down to their ceremony. 

Since it was a long walk down the ceremony site, Love Blooms created another garland that adorned their welcome sign that was hung from a window awning.

After a delicious plated dinner, guests were treated to a beautiful choreographed first dance by our couple followed by the groom's uncle's band The MIx Party Band who had the crowd on their feet until the end of the event.
