It always means so much when a bride reaches out to you right after they get engaged and you are the first vendor they select. Well that was the case for Jessica + Adam. I have know Jessica for many years as I was her sorority advisor while at Washington State University (Go Cougs!).

I love when I get to be part of the whole process from selecting the venue to vendors to helping with the overall design of the wedding. I even loved being part of the wedding dress process which is always one of my favorite aspects of my job. And her dress had pockets!! Let me tell you how much the pockets were useful for this bride on her wedding day.

Jessica was so organized it wasn’t even funny. Knowing she wanted a Fall themed wedding she started accumulating décor nearly a year before (the gorgeous white ghost pumpkins for instance).

It was all those little touches that truly made this wedding special. This wedding had so many surprises including from the officiant with his rendition of the ceremony scene from The Princess Bride (If you have seen the movie then you know exactly what I am talking about). One of the major highlights was the gorgeous wedding cake made by the bride’s sister and the delicious cupcakes. This was a major showstopper of the wedding.
