The ceremony arch, made by hand from driftwood collected from their private beach (and did I mention the driftwood bar!?)
The vintage canoe, filled with beverages for guests - L’s dream from the get-go!
Hand-painted watercolor table numbers and brush-lettered guest names on oyster shells
The juxtaposition of live edge tables and modern white chairs for their tented reception

Lindsay & Brett decided to host their wedding at their family’s private residence before private residence weddings were cool, and it is one of my favorite celebrations of all time! I had the privilege of working with them as their wedding planner and designer, which meant several wonderful months with this fun-loving couple - planning out every single logistic and detail needed to execute a full wedding weekend on a tiny island in the San Juan’s.
B’s family property was expansive and offered so many perfect areas for each part of the day. The ceremony space overlooked a private beach, and then it was just a quick jaunt across the road to cocktail hour in the garden and dinner and dancing under a clear top tent in the meadow. With this in mind, we carefully chose each design element and redefined the term “rustic chic” - classic vineyard chairs for the ceremony to complement the beach’s natural elegance, and a mixture of live edge wood tables from Seattle Farm Tables, modern white chairs, and romantic florals designed by Erin Land for dinner. Other tablescape details included hand-painted watercolor table numbers, brush-lettered seashells (collected from the beach), and custom dusty blue menus.
Guests were also treated to a driftwood bar and vintage canoe full of refreshments, an oyster bar, and an incredible paella display (by the one and only Paellaworks). Not to mention a beautiful spread of DERU cakes - one of each flavor, please! And then DJ 100Proof did his thing so that everyone could dance the night away under the stars. A perfect day, indeed.
It was an honor and a privilege, Mr. & Mrs. Simons!!
PS — a huge thank you to every single person on the team for this one (be sure to scroll all the way through for full list!) - flawlessly executing a wedding on an island is no small feat, and none of this would have happened without you! And also, a huge thank you to the weather… it rained all morning, and cleared up just in time for photos and ceremony.
