From the Bride: We initially fell in love with Thornewood Castle as our wedding venue and were really inspired to make our wedding classic & elegant to match the feel we got when walking around the castle & garden. My husband is European, so we loved having the ability to tie in his heritage to our big day through Thornewood. We decided on blush & gold as our wedding colors to tie back to the classic theme and immediately began working with our planner & florist to determine how to accentuate the features of this gorgeous venue without stealing away from it's natural beauty--and our team totally nailed it! Food was also extremely important to us and we were blown away by Twelve Baskets, Better than a Boyfriend, & Celebrity Cake Studio and our guests totally agreed. On the big day, we were SO impressed with how everything came together. From the beautiful garden ceremony, to the gorgeous reception underneath a tent in the back lawn & dancing and drinking in the grand ballroom, our day felt like it was straight out of a fairytale. Our wedding planner & team were beyond helpful throughout the entire process and were instrumental in making everything run smoothly and turn out perfect. We were SO thankful to have Stephanie Cristalli & Belscope Weddings there as well to help capture our big day and were blown away by the photos and videos we got to take away afterwards. In short, our day was a complete dream and above & beyond anything we could have ever imagined! We are so thankful for the wonderful team that helped make our dream wedding come to life and would highly recommend all of our incredible vendors to any bride & groom looking to create their perfect day!

Real Wedding: Nichole + Adam

When you end your wedding with the most spectacular fireworks show, you know you have had quite the wedding and there was not doubt for this September day.

The day started with our groom arrived on his motorcycle and we knew right away today was going to be a great day.

Our bride was all about those little details. Details that some brides wouldn't care about or worry about but that was one of the things what we loved about Nichole. From the signage she made herself down to the custom cake topper which had her home state of Washington and Wisconsin for Adam.

Flowers were a huge component for our couple and Jordan with Jordan Moll Events did not disappoint we loved what she created for the arbor, honestly with the hanging geometric shapes this has to be one of our favorite ceremony set-ups.

In addition to the flowers, the couple's dessert bar was a true delicious master piece from The Cut Out Cookie. Personally, dessert bars are my new favorite option instead of a traditional wedding cake.

I first met our Danielle a few years back when she was a bridesmaid for her cousin's wedding and I was lucky enough to get to the call to help plan her August wedding at Mountain View Manor, a newer venue located in Enumclaw.

With a color palette of teal, gray, blush and white combined with the stunning view of Mt. Rainier, this day could not have bee more special.

There was so much about this day but the two biggest and most emotional parts were the Family Dances. To celebrate her father who had passed away, his brother took his place to dance with Danielle. It was such a tender moment. Then the groom took his turn and danced with Danielle's mother and even though we did not know what was said between the two of them, but through the tears we knew he was assuring him that he would take care of her daughter the very best he can.

Now we cannot wait to celebrate the birth of their baby boy that is due in a very short weeks. We think its the best 1st Wedding Anniversary present.
