We wanted to create something that featured the beauty of the Sunset Club, which is a year-round indoor-only venue while highlighting its beautiful areas to photograph in. Its main feature, the Georgian ballroom, with beautiful botanical wallpaper, makes you feel like you are in a garden indoors. The wedding colors were inspired by the beautiful ballroom and the garden effect we wanted to invoke while protected from Seattle’s rain. We worked closely with the florist, A La Chloe, to plan a lush floral design that was used throughout the space and intentionally selected the bridesmaid dressed to give a bit of garden whimsy while featuring several options from Dessy. We also included a subtle nod to the architecture of the ballroom’s white crown molding in the cake design, as well as the linen choice. The venue was really the center of the design inspiration; it was definitely one of Seattle’s hidden gems!

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]A palette of greens, golden yellow, pinks, peach, and neutrals were used to compliment the space. [/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]

The Sunset Club is a private and exclusive venue in the heart of Seattle. The large, Georgian-style Clubhouse offers entertaining that is both elegant, gracious, and uniquely timeless. This fully indoor venue boasts a unique experience for guests who are guided from one spectacular room to the next on the wedding day. The stunning ballroom is adorned with original Georgian style-painted panels and features beautiful chandeliers, a full theatrical stage, and a balcony. The venue is richly decorated with elegant eighteenth-century furnishings and artwork that have been thoughtfully acquired over the past century.

The bride wore Spring by Monique Lhuillier. Monique Lhuillier’s collection embodies an Italian garden. The intricate lace embellishments and floral details of Spring were the perfect complement to the garden glam aesthetic that Events by Genevieve created at the Sunset Club. In crafting the bridal look, Ivonne of IM Artistry approached hair and makeup with particular intention. Her goal was to evoke a sense of enduring elegance, one that transcends generations and never fades from style. She meticulously curated every detail to achieve this timeless aesthetic. For the bride, Ivonne opted for a classic yet refined updo, artfully tailored to accentuate her natural bone structure, ensuring she exuded grace and sophistication. Complementing her ethereal glow, they chose rich terracotta hues for her makeup palette, delicately enhanced with a touch of pink blush to create the radiant aura of a bride. The bridesmaids’ ensembles echoed this romantic sentiment, with soft and flirty looks accentuated by cascading waves in their hair. The result was a bridal party that exuded polished elegance, radiating a timeless allure that captivated all in attendance.

[field title=”Wedding Party”]

The bridesmaid’s dresses were all from Dessy. We love that Dessy has so much variety, allowing the bridal party to select something that feels true to their personality and complimentary to their body type while still aligning with the couple’s overall vision for the wedding day. Each bridesmaid selected a dress in the garden glam color palette of soft blushes, pinks, and greens with options for a solid gown or floral detail. We loved the mismatched yet cohesive look!

The A La Chloe team curated a floral arrangement that embraces soft, understated tones, echoing the elegance of the Sunset Club‘s gorgeous painting. Delicate hues of ivory, pale yellow, blush, and dusty pink intertwine seamlessly, creating a captivating visual harmony. To infuse an extra layer of romance, the designers incorporated an exquisite selection of garden roses, lisianthus, sweet peas, and seasonal blooms. The addition of plum branches adds a subtle yet striking touch, balancing strength with delicacy. The reception boasts an array of arrangements in varying heights, offering depth and drama to the ambiance. Each arrangement is crafted to enhance the overall aesthetic, complementing the venue’s sophistication. While the ceremony setup exudes simplicity, its elegance is undeniable, perfectly harmonizing with the modern floor tiles of the venue. Every detail is thoughtfully curated to ensure a seamless blend of beauty and sophistication. Personal flowers and additional arrangements are designed with a singular focus: to elevate the romance of the occasion. Each bloom is chosen with care, embodying the essence of love and celebration. The cake design was heavily based on the rich historical beauty of the venue. With a muted pink fondant and molding to mimic the iconic walls of the ballroom, the colors, and architectural aspects tied in beautifully with the surroundings. Six towering layers were accentuated with flourishes of rice paper and abstract flowers, in addition to a stenciled airbrush detail to add a softness to the bottom two layers. The invitation suite, designed by Honest Calligraphy, was a juxtaposition of refined simplicity and luxurious detail. The color palette remained soft and romantic, reflective of the overall design, featuring clean whites and the softest blush. The custom crest and menus were designed to reflect similar architectural elements present in the Sunset Club ballroom and wedding cake, and soft floral accents were a continuation of the garden aesthetic featured throughout the wedding day design.

We simply cannot get enough of this stunner of a cake, artfully designed by Alewa Bakeshop. Lisa is a true artist and has a special talent for taking inspiration from the couple, venue, and overall wedding day design. Her work often features hand-painted elements and sugar flowers nearly indistinguishable from fresh flowers. For this masterpiece, Lisa incorporated more structured elements, like the hexagonal layer situated amidst traditional rounded layers and fondant molding to reflect the architectural elements of the grand ballroom. She softened those elements with airbrushed floral accents on the bottom layer of the cake and wispy, soft-white wafer paper flowers.

[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]

If you want a garden glam style for your wedding day, be prepared to place a high priority on florals in your budget and think outside of the box about where you’ll want to feature florals. Bouquets and tabletops are a given, but sometimes people overlook the opportunity to make a statement and create a cohesive guest experience by incorporating florals at the cake & escort display, entrance to the ceremony/reception, or as a unique statement at the cocktail hour or on the dance floor. If your venue has a unique element like an architecturally interesting doorway or a grand staircase, highlight that feature with a floral installation. And, if possible, pay to have your floral team on site for the duration of your wedding day. What really brought this garden-theme full circle was incorporating florals into unique moments of the day; the bride was surrounded by floor arrangements during her getting ready/bridal portraits, floral accents on the grand staircase, and the vignette of the wedding gown on the mannequin with florals. Having your floral team at your venue means they can assist with all the moving parts to create these magical moments. Lastly, higher a planner who knows their stuff. Gen from Events by Genevieve left no stone unturned when it came to the design for this day. From the cake to the paper products to the candelabras and linens, she ensured that every design element was in alignment with the overall garden-glam aesthetic.

The styled shoot was inspired by the love story of Ida & Andreas, a couple who eloped one year ago in Sweden with just each other, and renewed their vows in March 2024 in Mallorca, surrounded by their loved ones and the island’s breathtaking scenery. Our aim was to capture the intimacy and beauty of their celebration against one of Mallorca’s most iconic vistas. We wanted to create a concept that respected the history of the venue while infusing it with luxury, intimacy, and the essence of Mallorcan charm. The story we sought to convey was one of love, connection, and the timeless allure of Mallorca as a wedding destination.

From the floral arrangements to the decor, every detail was thoughtfully considered to ensure a harmonious and visually stunning aesthetic.[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Mallorca, the Monestir de Miramar stands as one of the oldest buildings on the island, steeped in rich history and timeless allure. Originally founded by Ramón Llull, a pioneering figure in Mallorcan history, the venue holds a special place as a memorial to his legacy and that of Archduke Ludwig Salvator, who both made significant contributions to the Balearic island. Perched majestically overlooking the wide expanse of the Mediterranean, the Monestir de Miramar offers enchanting views and an atmosphere of unparalleled tranquility. Its architectural charm and storied past provided the perfect backdrop, adding depth and meaning to every moment of the day. As the heart and soul of Mallorca’s cultural heritage, the venue embodied the essence of romance and elegance, making it an ideal setting for their love story to unfold.[/field]

At this wedding, the couple’s love for gourmet experiences took center stage, transforming their special day into an unforgettable culinary journey. With a passion for fine dining, they entrusted Coho Restaurant, a local gem, to curate a feast that would dazzle their guests from the very beginning. The welcome included light and refreshing fruit salads, rich tuna poke, a selection of nuts, and warm beverages, setting a tone of warmth and hospitality. As the day progressed, the cocktail hour introduced a lavish spread of passed appetizers featuring the likes of seared wagyu, sesame ginger glazed pork belly, crispy tofu, and mouth-watering flatbreads, complemented by a sophisticated oyster bar. The culinary masterpiece was the seven-course dinner, a showcase of the finest local ingredients. Guests were treated to a parade of dishes, including delicate scallops, Washington State clams, spicy seafood tagliatelle, and sumptuously smoked beef short ribs, each course more impressive than the last. Elevating the festive atmosphere were the wedding’s signature cocktails – Pina Colada and Paloma. These fruity and refreshing beverages were carefully chosen to mirror the laid-back, summery vibe of the wedding, offering a sip of bliss with every toast. This impeccable dining experience, from the appetizers to the signature cocktails, left guests raving, perfectly encapsulating the couple’s gastronomic vision for their big day.

Selva Floral Design brought the soft color palette to life with an array of summer blooms featuring arum lilies, peonies, and lisianthus.

A standout feature was the curved aisle for the ceremony, creating an intimate and inviting path that led to the altar. This thoughtful arrangement of florals and decor perfectly complemented the laid-back summer holiday vibe of the wedding.

From Coho Restaurant came the wedding’s centerpiece dessert: a 2-tiered cake with a secret berry filling cloaked in a pristine all-white design. Topped and surrounded by theme-colored flowers, it stood as a sweet, elegant nod to the day’s love-filled celebrations.

A unique touch that truly set this wedding apart was the customized luggage tags used as escort cards.

This inventive detail not only guided guests to their seats but also embraced the laid-back holiday vibe of the event, making for a memorable and personalized keepsake that guests could cherish long after the celebration ended.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Another bespoke element that added a touch of seaside sophistication to the reception was the use of oyster shells as name cards. Each shell was artfully painted gold on the outside and pearl white on the inside, providing a luxurious yet natural feel to the table settings. An artist carefully handwrote each guest’s name on the shells, blending elegance with personalization. This creative choice not only complemented the beach holiday theme but also served as a beautiful keepsake for guests, encapsulating the essence of the day in a unique and meaningful way.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]In an exciting twist of timing, the wedding took place just one day before Mengting’s graduation ceremony, adding an extra layer of celebration to the weekend. The festivities were so engaging and joy-filled that guests nearly missed the ferry back to Seattle! We find this moment of light-hearted urgency illustrated the immersive enjoyment and unforgettable atmosphere of the wedding, leaving everyone with memories filled with laughter and shared happiness.[/field]

Joined by their closest family members, they were all set for a day filled with love, laughter, and a boatload of Italian charm.

However, Mother Nature had her own plans for the day. Just as the ceremony was about to kick off, a sudden thunderstorm hit Positano, bringing torrents of rain. But did that put a damper on Stephanie and David’s spirits? Not in the least!

With the terrace for their ceremony drenched, it was a race against time. Yet, with the help of their trusty wedding coordinator at Amalfi Luxury Weddings, they quickly sprang into action, rearranging the timeline with lightning speed (pun totally intended).

Amidst all the craziness of the storm, Stephanie and David were still as cool as ever. They knew that come rain or shine, this day was not just about the weather. It was about the love they shared and the commitment they were making to each other.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Against the backdrop of Positano’s pastel-hued buildings and azure waters, the rain added an ethereal touch to Stephanie and David’s ceremony.

As the rain drops fell, they exchanged personal vows under a canopy of umbrellas, and their words blended with the soft hum of nature. It was like every drop echoed the cadence of their love story, making the atmosphere even more palpable.

As it cleared, a soft glow filled the terrace at The Marincanto. Stephanie and David hugged each other, surrounded by their rain-kissed loved ones. Like love is, weather is a force of nature, unyielding and profound, just like the rain on their special day. Those thunderstorms serves as a metaphor for their journey – tough, yet beautiful, adorned with the marks of life’s unpredictable twists.[/field]

A four-course dinner prepared by the Fairmont Banff Springs featured seared scallops, roasted beet salad, and a choice of Alberta beef tenderloin, pan-roasted chicken breast, or Icelandic cod, ending with a slice of the couple’s wedding cake. After cutting the cake immediately following Monique and Justin’s grand entrance, dinner was served amidst a series of toasts, many of which contained beautiful bilingual moments. Following dinner and a series of formal dances between the couple and their parents, a champagne tower commenced the dance, which was led by a Local DJ until moving to Fairmont’s Bowl Valley for after-party celebrations, late-night nibbles, and several lanes of bowling.

Floral design, perfected by Creative Edge Flowers incorporated pops of burgundy and toffee to achieve an organic yet antique look. Leaning into the stunning architecture of Mount Stephen Hall, altar arrangements mirrored the symmetry of the space while the tall floral-wrapped candelabras at the center of reception tables guided the eye upwards. Striking accents of hunter green amidst classic gold pieces were sourced from both Modern Rentals and Special Event Rentals, along with a traditional French colonial-style lounge set complete with an audio guest book from Confetti Call where guests, young and old, left personalized voice messages for the couple, throughout the evening. With the bride’s great-grandmother in attendance, these voice notes will be treasured for years to come. Guests searched for their names on an upright antique gold mirror and then for their table numbers on scalloped table numbers and belly band place cards matching the floral print vellum from the invitation suite. These delicate paper goods, and others crafted by PaperOcelot Studios incorporated Monique and Justin’s monogram, also seen on decals created by YNOT Digital throughout the space.

A three tiered wedding cake was brought to life by Yvonne’s Delightful Cakes. Featuring a delicately stencilled blush buttercream finish with lifelike white and gold sugar flowers carefully placed upon each tier, this masterpiece was nestled in a garden of soft and complimentary blooms.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

Dreamy harp music by Harp Angel greeted guests as they arrived at the ceremony. Along with a selection of the couple’s favorite songs, “La Vie En Rose” accompanied the ladies as they processed down the aisle.

A day heavily rooted in family and tradition, the father of the bride greeted the newlyweds in his late father’s 1963 Mercury Monterey to whisk them into the heart of the snow-capped mountains for their private portrait session with Corrina Walker Photography.

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Monique was not the only one dressed to impress. Justin wore a custom emerald paisley tuxedo from Atelier Suiting, staying true to his personal style and providing a pop of colour to the gentlemen, who were otherwise suited in black.[/field]

The wedding colors were blue, green, coral, yellow, and pink.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The first words the couple used to describe their dream wedding were memorable and vibrant. They chose a beautiful garden in the heart of Miami Beach to host their wedding and leaned into the vibrancy of nature to inspire the design. Vibrancy through music, food, florals, and decor all ensured the night was truly memorable.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Of their proposal, the groom writes: “I will never forget my marriage proposal to Becky: the moment itself (a rooftop sunset together in Florence, Italy) could not have gone more perfectly, while my physical state (wracked by a seafood-induced stomach virus) could not have been worse. To set my plan in motion, I told Becky I got us a reservation at a private rooftop bar “that lets you bring in your own wine,” and kept the ruse up even as I unlocked the door to what was clearly an AirBnB (with a key that I secretly had picked up hours earlier while “grabbing a gatorade from the corner store”). On the roof deck–in the midst of a breathtaking sunset–I got on one knee, proposed, and we toasted to our life together. And I know everything was meant to be, because–by some miracle–that wine was the only liquid I could keep down all day!”

The bride’s gown was found in the beautiful bridal shop Chic Parisien. From the very start, the bride knew she wanted to dawn a dress that was colorful and unique. She selected a beautiful floral gown by Monique Lhuillier.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

For food and beverage, we took a narrative approach to the menu. The couple was looking for a lively event atmosphere rather than a formal, plated dinner so we designed action stations based on cities that were important to their love story. We featured a Southern food station to nod to Becky’s home city of Tallahassee; a Masa de Puerco & Plantains station for Chris’ home city of Miami; a Pizza & Chinese take-out station to pay homage to NYC where the couple met; and an Italian Pasta station to tie in Florence, where the couple was engaged.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

When the couple came to me with their wedding design vision, they had several different ideas that they wanted to marry together, but weren’t quite sure how they would meld. Melding these visions was truly one of my favorite weddings to design. The couple wanted to blend a tropical vision with a Southern elegance and a vintage touch. For their ceremony Lucelo Flor designed a beautiful, chromatic grounded arrangement so that the couple truly felt they were standing in a garden. We incorporated three different styles of chairs in ceremony and reception. In ceremony, we blended the chairs together as inspired by the couple’s favorite Miami date night spot, Lagniappe. In reception, each of these chairs stood with their own table design for each of the aesthetics we melded together in their vibrant reception. To tie it all together we had a ceiling of sprawling vines and rattan pendants suspended over their classic black and white checkered dance floor.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]As a departure from tradition, the couple decided not to feature a wedding cake! They elected to have an ice cream bar & key lime pie bites as a nod to Florida.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]The couple had a full coffee & espresso bar. It was the perfect way to keep their guests energized on their lively & vibrant dance floor.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

The couple was very intentional about sustainability at their event. The bride works in the global sustainability field for corporations and wanted to be sure that their wedding followed suit with a sustainable edge. We sourced recycled take out boxes for the Chinese take-out action station and minimized all plastic & paper products that could’ve ended up discarded!

The wedding colors were white, cream, dusty rose, powder pink, sangria, greens, and mustard.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

In crafting the wedding style, the design team at SoCal Wedding Consultant found inspiration in the serene landscapes of Tuscany, opting for lush organic florals by Flower Allie and marked by light, airy elements with neutral wood tones. Nichole and Frank’s vision evoked an upscale family dinner ambiance, blending elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere to create an unforgettable celebration of love.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]It was December 23.2022. Nichole was running around trying to get last-minute Christmas shopping wrapped up. Frank called and said they should go to their favorite spot down in Newport Beach. She had no idea what was in store, she thought he just wanted to kick off Christmas early. They headed down to Balboa Bay Club to catch the sunset and grab some cocktails. After the sunset, they decided to go for a walk around Balboa and look at the lights. They couldn’t find parking so Nichole suggested they go home but Frank persisted. She thought it was weird that he was so adamant about checking out the lights because they had gone just the week before but off they went! Nichole was admiring all the beautiful houses, when Frank took her arm and turned her around to look at a dock that was covered with lights that said “MARRY ME!”[/field]

Taryn Collins, the lead designer at SoCal Wedding Consultant, and Flower Allie teamed up on an elegant design that integrated White, Cream, Dusty Rose, Powder Pink, Sangria, Greens, and a lovely Mustard color. The cake table and sweetheart table were wreathed with florals. Neutral wood and pearl tones were used throughout the space for a refined Tuscan feel.

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

A little Something Sweet designed a sophisticated white wedding cake complete with a floral waterfall. Florals surrounded the base of the table for a “wow” effect.

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]
We wanted a very colorful wedding to complement the vibrance of the Amalfi Coast. We used pink, blue, yellow, green, and orange throughout the décor and invites. I highlighted yellow as much as possible to complement the local lemons.
[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]I wanted the wedding to be traditional and classic, but I also wanted to put my own spin on things. My goal was to create an unforgettable experience for both me and my guests. Ravello provided the most intimate yet exciting backdrop for our wedding weekend.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Logan popped the question at the Sinclair Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. He proposed on the rooftop and had our favorite vintage blue Bronco waiting for us to drive off in! I was completely fooled until about an hour beforehand. He even had 40 of our closest friends waiting for us down the street.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]The inspiration for my look was Kate Middleton. I had always admired Monique Lhuillier’s lace and knew I would choose one of her designs. My sister, who got married a few months before me, also chose Monique. Our bridal stylist told us that Monique ‘knows a woman’s body the best.’ I customized the Fleur De Lis gown by raising the waist and adding a jacket. I truly had to trust the process because the gown was ready only about a week before we left for Italy. Plus, fitting my gown into a carry-on was a challenge! Whew![/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]I let my Maids of Honor choose their own dresses based on my color palette. It ended up being the perfect blend of colors and patterns.[/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The food was incredible! The villa paid very close attention to every detail of the menu. As guests arrived, the mixologist served a glass of prosecco, to which he added a dried rosebud and sprayed each glass with the scent of roses. For dinner, we enjoyed various courses, each served with its own unique wine pairing. My personal favorite was the Eggplant Parmesan, but the guests loved the Neapolitan Bolognese. I have never had such amazing food all at once![/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]I told the florist that I wanted it to feel like walking through a colorful garden, and they did just that! They truly brought my vision to life using roses, hydrangeas, lilies, dahlias, lisianthus, stock, chrysanthemums, and many other flowers! We used lemons as place cards and customized the napkins with our monogram. We added blue ceramic vases and multicolor candles throughout the table. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The cake was a traditional Italian mille-feuille, and it was lovely! It was filled with cream and topped with mixed berries. I can’t believe we don’t have them in the US![/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]We were fortunate enough to convince my childhood pastor to travel to Italy with us. This pastor has known me closely since I was a child and has been a significant part of my faith journey. The ceremony was very intimate. My favorite aspect was when the pastor asked all of our guests to stand and vow to encourage us in our marriage and always point us toward God. It was a very moving moment.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]We had an incredible surprise on our wedding day. Unbeknownst to us, our wedding coincided with a local holiday. Near the end of the night, we were treated to a spectacular firework show, which seemed perfectly positioned just for us![/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Our dogs were featured on our invitations! The artists at ShhhMyDarling did a wonderful job of depicting our dogs perfectly[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]My husband took charge of all the music selections. After all my hard work in the wedding planning process, the music ended up being what we received the most compliments on![/field]
