Lindsay & Brett's Private Residence Wedding in the San Juan Islands

Color Palette & Aesthetic Notes
White, neutrals, shades of blue, pops of gold
Modern, chic, relaxed, refined

Favorite Design Elements
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.

Alice & David's Beautiful Summer Wedding at The Admiral's House

Color Palette & Aesthetic
White, neutrals, greenery, pops of blush.
Romantic and chic, with unexpected twists.

Favorite Décor Elements
The hanging greenery and glass globe installs in the clear top reception tent, and the sweeping arc of roses and greenery over the iconic front door of the Admiral’s House.

Favorite Moment
Watching the tent and floor plan schematics come together in real life (in a matter of hours!), transforming the lawn into a beautiful reception space.

—-

The Admiral’s House is known as one of Seattle’s most iconic wedding venues for good reason. The manicured space is so versatile for any wedding design, and have you seen the panoramic views of the Seattle skyline!? After coordinating J&J’s elegant celebration at this beautiful venue, I had been waiting for another opportunity to create some more magic, and was so thrilled when Alice & David’s inquiry popped up in my inbox!

Over the course of a year, we worked through logistics, got creative with design elements to curate a unique experience, and shared many meals together (it didn’t take long for us to discover our shared love of food). My full-service planning clients always end up feeling like best friends by the end of the planning process, and Alice and David were no exception! By the time their wedding day arrived, we had dreamed up and designed a chic, romantic aesthetic with unexpected twists - like a hanging tent install (adorned with leafy vines and vintage globes), and made-to-order gourmet pizza slices for dinner.

Every single detail you see in these photos was chosen carefully and intentionally by A&D, and their incredible team pulled it off perfectly! It took three (yes, THREE) separate rental companies to execute the tented reception space, and I’ll forever be in awe of how quickly the teams from CORT, Pedersen’s, and Vintage Ambiance pulled it all off. And the florals! Ah, the florals. Stephanie’s designs throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were to die for. So grateful to everyone who made it so that A&D and their guests had the time of their lives!

Forever honored to have had the opportunity to plan your wedding, A&D. Cheers to you!!

Elegant Washington Winery Wedding | St. James Cathedral & Chateau Lill | T&P

Color Scheme + Aesthetic
Shades of white, butterscotch, and a hint of taupe. Curated elegance.

Favorite Décor Elements
Velvet linens, the hanging dinner menu scroll, and the hundreds of gorgeous, fluffy roses on the tables.

Favorite Moment
Transforming the reception tent from blank space to luxurious elegance in the span of 3 hours. and then seeing T’s face when she got to see it all.

—-

Have I mentioned how much I love weddings at Chateau Lill? This venue is so dynamic and versatile that each time I work there, it is a whole new experience
(see: S&C’s Italy-inspired day, and A&J’s colorful celebration)!

T&P’s August wedding was no exception - this gorgeous day began with a ceremony at St. James Cathedral, followed by cocktail hour in the Chateau Lill forest, dinner under the dreamy terrace tent, and cake + dancing inside the chateau. Each aspect of the day was thoughtfully curated by T, including the long dinner tables - draped in La Tavola velvet linens and adorned with taper candles, floral arrangements by the ever-talented Grace & Blooms, and gorgeous calligraphed accents by Euni & Co. Logistically? A piece of cake with the all-star team T&P chose to carry out their vision (Blue Box Bakery cake, to be exact ;))!

Though most of my work was with T (who felt way more like a friend than a client at the end of it all), I knew as soon as I saw T&P together that this was a match made in heaven. I am truly so grateful to have been a part of such a beautiful occasion for these beautiful people!

Cheers to T&P!!

Ethereal Castle Wedding | Thornewood Castle - Seattle | Y&Y

Color Scheme + Aesthetic
Dusty blue, French blue, greens, and neutrals. Classic with a vintage twist.

Favorite Décor Elements
Y&Y incorporated so many beautiful vintage elements and furniture pieces into their wedding and then topped them off with overflowing florals.

Favorite Moment
We didn’t know if Y’s family would be able to be there until the week before their wedding, so sending her down the aisle with her father was an especially sweet experience.

—-

It’s not often that I get an inquiry for a Tuesday wedding, so when I do, I am in!

Y&Y had already spent a lot of time planning and designing their Thornewood Castle wedding by the time they asked me to join their team, but I am so happy + honored that I had the opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful! Y (the bride) grew up in China, but is in the States to get her double masters - she is ridiculously intelligent and has a way of being both kind and graceful, while also commanding the room. Our meetings were unique in that I had the privilege of learning so much more about her culture, and also about the Visa system; for most of our time working together, we did not know if her parents would be allowed into the US for their wedding, due to the intensive visitation process. Luckily, the week before their celebration, Y was given confirmation that they would be able to be there, but I remember being shocked at the idea that any person would not be able to have their parents at their wedding, and promptly added that to the list of stressors I wish I could fix as a wedding planner. Logistics and aesthetic are important, but family is everything.

On the aesthetic side of things - it’s hard to make a castle wedding even more magical than it already is, but Y&Y’s day was nothing short of stunning, complete with vintage furniture for their welcome table and seating chart, and gorgeous floral elements via the infinitely talented Kelly of Botanique. Guests ate delicious food from Twelve Baskets Catering, and then finished off the night with cake from Honey Crumb Cake Studio, dancing, and the most perfect golden hour by the lake. Every detail was carefully hand-chosen by Y, so that every guest would feel they were given the royal treatment. It was truly a wedding to remember.

All my love to Y&Y!

Art Deco City Wedding | Pacific Tower - Seattle | L&J

L&J were referred to me by a major boss babe (shout out to Brynn of Dandy & Fine Parties!), but our connection was amplified by our shared love of dogs and, more specifically, volunteering. They built their vendor team in ways that would allow them to give back - using Farestart, a local non-profit, for catering, and delivering their beautiful floral arrangements to nursing homes/hospitals after their wedding day. Their focus on giving back also translated to their guests and every aspect of their day was built around ensuring that each and every person enjoyed each moment.

With the help of Brynn, L&J dreamed up a design for the Pacific Tower Panoramic Room that transformed it from a corporate meeting-ish aesthetic into a bright, modern celebration space with shiny art deco accents. Chairs were stylishly covered in silver pashminas, gold-framed boards displayed guests' names on gold cut-outs with colorful tassels, clear ghost chairs lined the head table, and the stunning Smashing Petals floral designs were the star of the show on the crushed teal tablescapes. In a world full of (beautiful) pastel weddings, this wedding was a bold burst of flair and I loved every aspect of it.

Color Scheme: jewel tone hues - royal purple, cranberry, teal, navy
Favorite Décor Elements: globes with favorite quotes written on them scattered around the reception space, large signage taking over the foyer, BRIGHT pops of color in the flowers + tablescape decor to offset the overcast weather. And of course the built-in panoramic Seattle view decor element.
Favorite Moment: watching the blank slate room be completely transformed into a beautiful, colorfully sophisticated space, fit for L&J's art deco/modern vision.

Cheers to Mr. & Mrs. Padley!
