Elegant Affairs | Seattle Wedding Planner

Rock Creek Gardens | Adry + Jeff | Puyallup, WA.

January 11, 2022 Lori Losee

Photographer: Wild Felt Photography | Planner: Elegant Affairs | Venue: Rock Creek Gardens | Florist: Lilyput Weddings | Beauty: Kayla Kollection Artistry | Caterer: Gallucci’s | Rentals: American Party Place | Dessert: Better Than a Boyfriend Bakery | DJ + Photobooth: DJ Kidd 206

When you think about the perfect summer garden wedding in the PNW, look no further than Jeff + Adry’s big day at Rock Creek Gardens in Puyallup, WA.

Planning for a July wedding, you never quite know what the weather would be like, and in 2021 you could never trust Mother Nature, but we sure lucked out this day with the most incredible weather.

I first started working with this incredible couple 8 months before their big day and we worked so great together creating the dream team of vendors to perfectly execute the bride’s vision.

One of the best things about this wedding venue is that it’s so gorgeous you really don’t need to do much only accent the beauty that is the gardens.

Erica, from Lilyput created a perfect arbor piece along with stunning centerpieces and personal flowers. The bright bold colors were a perfect complement to the white arbor and tent.

What I loved most this day was Jeff’s reaction when he first saw his bride walking down the aisle. Since these two chose not to do a first look, his face said everything without him saying one word. It was such a beautiful moment that was so memorable.

My favorite part of the day was being able to be part of the bride + groom photos after the ceremony. Normally, when this happens, I am setting up so to be part of this special moment was everything to me. I loved working with Amber from Wild Felt Photography. She is so amazing and so great about making her couples feel comfortable and it truly showed in their photos.

As the party started to get into gear after a decision dinner and dessert bar, I was able to help the bride get dancing ready by bustling her dress, which leads to my biggest piece of advice to any all brides who will have a bustle.

When you go in for your final fitting, make sure you bring someone who will be there on wedding day who can learn just how the bustle actually works and even practices it there a few times until you feel comfortable for the wedding day. Make sure to take photos and/or a video if the bustle is quite complicated. Luckily I am an expert bustler so I made quick work of Adry’s dress, but it was a little tricky.

After making her dancing ready, the final step was making a new garter for the bride as hers was left at the hotel. First, we tried making one out of greenery but it wasn’t going to hold together so then we found the next best thing, a napkin (don’t worry it was an unused one)! One thing you know as a wedding planner is that you need to be ready for anything and everything and we are the MacGyver of the wedding industry!

Thank you, Jeff, + Adry for choosing me to be part of your epic day!

Blue Hydrangea Inspired Wedding | Charlie + Eleanor | Port Gamble

January 6, 2022 Lori Losee

Photographer: Tonie Christine | Videographer: Belscope Films | Wedding Planner: Elegant Affairs | Florist: Oak and Fig Floral | Venue: Port Gamble Weddings | DJ: Dubreezy Entertainment | Rentals: Cort Party Rental | Caterer: Essence of the Thymes | Wedding Dress: I Do Bridal | Beauty: Salon Maison | Bartender: Kitsap Bartending Services | Photobooth: 321 Foto | Dessert: Better Than a Boyfriend Bakery

888 days! That’s how long these two were together before they exchanged I Dos and started their life as husband and wife.

Charlie and Eleanor were destined to be together. From both being born in the UK not too far from one another to their chance meeting and reunion a year later, these two started to build their foundation as friends before starting a relationship.

Working together for nearly a year, I quickly fell in love with these two, especially fellow Coug Charlie. Their love for one another was infectious and they are just two of the most genuine people you will ever come across and that even extended to their families who are just as lovely.

From our first meeting at their venue a year prior to their wedding, Eleanor had a clear vision of her wedding and it revolved around one thing…a blue hydrangea.

The color of this flower was perfect as it was the same color as the inside of St. Paul’s the church where they would get married, officiated by the bride’s best friend Amanda.

The hydrangea was represented throughout their wedding, from their stationery to their décor including their stunning centerpieces created by Shane of Oak and Fig Floral who truly captured the vision for this beautiful July day.

In addition to the floral inspiration, the couple knew there was one part of their party that needed to be present and that was the Bustender, a custom-built 1973 VW Bus mobile bar. It was truly the best way to welcome their guests into their reception in addition to the champagne walls.

It was just so easy working with these two as we navigated the planning process and were ready for any outcome that the pandemic threw their way. We had plans for a wedding as small as 35 but we lucked out when they could have their entire guest count. We were only missing their family members from the UK who were not able to travel for the nuptials.

Wedding day was just a fun one. I don’t think I have ever laughed at a wedding as much as I did for this one. You could really feel the love from their friends and family and that translated throughout their celebration including the incredible toasts and that even included a choreographed dance by the groom’s sisters.

As the dance party went into night, the two exited their reception under a sparkler canopy, the perfect way to end their 888 day-relationship that has now turned into a marriage.

Perfect Spring Wedding | Annie + Richie | Liljebeck Farms

October 28, 2021 Lori Losee

Wedding Planner: Elegant Affairs | Photographer: Caitlyn Nikula | Florist: Floral Design by Maria | Venue: Liljebeck Farms | Beauty: Bridal Beauty Agency + Divine Touch | Catering: Maverick Catering | Rentals: Cort Party Rental | DJ: DJ Rian Souleles

One of the best ways to know you are good at what you do is when couples get referred to us. For Annie + Richie, it was the bride’s sister who referred us. I have know her for many years serving as her sorority advisor and then collaborating on a project a few years ago. So when her sister got engaged she put Annie in touch with us.

Originally these two were supposed to get married in September but decided to postpone to have a wedding closer to their vision even during a pandemic. Once the couple decided on a new date, they came to the realization they wanted a new venue to align with their new vision and that was Liljebeck Farms, located in Woodinville, a newer venue that because the perfect place to say I Do. This venue truly has it all including a beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony locations and an incredible reception space. Personally, I am a huge fan of both of the getting ready areas.

Annie + Richie had the most perfect wedding, and we are so happy that they finally got to have their wedding day and it was so beautiful.

One of the best traditions for this new venue is that couples get to brand their names on their Sweethearts wall. What a great way to forever cement your wedding and for a lifelong memory.

Congrats Annie + Richie and we wish you all the love and happiness in the world.
