We are a proud company from the Pacific Northwest. We were created in the PNW and we are lucky enough to call it our home. There is SO much beauty the PNW has to offer and there is nowhere in the world quite like it. From the lush landscape of our rainforests, to the crisp cool air on the Snoqualmie pass. This location has so much to offer our clients. And depending on the season you choose to tie the knot in, there are so many options for theme and color palettes. We’ve selected some of our favorite places as inspiration to bring you four curated color palettes for any PNW bride or groom. So, grab yourself a cup of Pike’s Place Brew and let’s take a tour of this place we call home. 

PIKE’S PLACE MARKET

Our first stop is Pike’s Place Market. The market will forever be one of our favorite spaces. From the lively crowds, beautiful blooms, and creative arts – this place is truly one of a kind.

Our color inspiration that comes from the market can be summed up into one word: vibrance. The market is full of vibrance. No matter what time of day you arrive, or whether you’re there for a quick trip or all day, you’ll experience vibrant colors, food, and places. 

MOUNT RAINIER

On a clear day, you’ll be able to see majestic Mount Rainier. Mount Rainier is absolutely stunning and we still are in awe of its beauty year round. Whether it is covered in snow, or full of wildflowers just in time for a hike, it’s always on our list as one of our top favorite places in the PNW. 

This location is serene and majestic. Even though we often forget that it is a dormant volcano, our community sure does love this place. The colors we’ve selected to represent this magical place represent the beauty it has to offer and a piece of serenity. 

RAINFORESTS AND FORESTS

One of our favorite locations to visit or coordinate in are our temperate rainforests or dense forests.. Rainforests make up a large part of our peninsula and Washington is home to the beautiful Olympic National Park. One of our most memorable weddings was nestled in a dense forest in Kitsap. 

Whether you choose to hold your wedding at a venue in the lush landscape, or just want to incorporate some colors from these locations, its natural beauty will sure shine. 

VIEW FROM QUEEN ANNE

Whenever we have guests that are new to the PNW, we always have to take a tour of the city. One of my favorite spots is this outlook that truly shows off what Seattle has to offer. It’s nestled in the heart of Queen Anne and the views are stunning. It shows off the beauty of Seattle, from the sound, to the sounds of the bustling city. 

The skyline of Seattle is breathtaking and the colors in our last palette represent the modern and diverse culture that Seattle has to offer. This is perfect for our city, modern brides, who want their wedding day to truly dazzle. 

The PNW has evolved over the decades, but there is one thing that stays the same - its beauty. From the downtown skyline at night, to the lush forests. We love the PNW and the communities that it fosters. We’ve had the pleasure of serving this community in the wedding industry for over a decade. It inspires us and our couples on a daily basis. We hope you found some inspiration in our beautiful home, too!
