Flora & Kristy’s full moon fairytale wedding by the sea

Nods to Paganism, Celtic readings, and flower fairies make this waterfront wedding truly magical. And at the reception, there was even a father/daughter/father/daughter dance! And prepare your eyes from the awesomely scandalous garter photo!

Charmaine & Chris’ vintage diner and opera house wedding

After first meeting outside of a retro diner, these two had one of their two ceremonies at that same diner. I fell in love with the bride’s custom-made lacy, layered dress, three-generation photo, and multi-colored sweater. The men of the wedding party looked mighty spiffy in their bow ties and argyle, too. On top of it all, they were able to stay under a pretty tight budget with two ceremonies and a restaurant reception.

Charlotte & Jason’s organic farm Sufi wedding

Jason and Charlotte met at school and fell in love over juggling, Sufi singing, and night walks. I love these people already. With lots of crafty touches (including a nettle felted portrait!), tea favors, and a milk and honey ceremony, this wedding has soothing and peaceful written all over it.

Kelsea & Henry’s Northwest garden party wedding

These free spirits wanted to show off their beloved Northwest scenery and atmosphere. They decided that Whidbey Island would be the perfect locale since both families have connections to the area and it’s where the groom proposed! With some greek food, lawn games, tons of community support, and a sweet pre-ceremony ring warming, this wedding is bound to pull some heartstrings.
