From Emily Muddiman of Rose Andrew Events… “We loved the setting of Monet Vineyards in Brush Prairie, WA. From the immaculate gardens and European inspired finishes, to the overgrown wisteria taking over the exterior of the home, the location looked like it came straight out of a painting! With our venue in mind, we chose a color palette reminiscent of Pierre- Auguste Renior’s painting “Woman with a Parasol”! Sage green with pops of taupe, caramel, mauve and french blue. Our ceremony was set in the gardens facing the grand estate and guests sat on French inspired soft seating. Lush garden blooms lined the back of the aisle.
The tables featured sage linens paired with overgrown arrangements of garden roses and grasses made by Rose Andrew Events, vintage gold rimmed china, modern gold flatware and cut crystal glassware. We chose unique velvet tufted ottomans for the reception seating. Rather than one long table, we chose to have guests seated at two smaller more intimate tables by household. Although this was done with COVID restrictions in mind, I see smaller more intimate seating becoming a wedding trend in the years to come! I worked with our talented stationer, Crystal of the Fancy cat Studio to dream up an invitation suite and corresponding day of paper goods that felt reminiscent of overgrown gardens and the artists who paint them.
Guests were greeted by beautiful birch signs reminding them to social distance and a garden themed escort display complete with small gardening tools and nameplates adorned in fluffy tassels. Her custom crest on the envelope liner, engraved birch table numbers, and menus adorned with handmade butterfly appliqués proved that a smaller guest count does not have to mean a lack of details! The cake required the work of multiple talented vendors to come to fruition!
Lady Grey made a scrumptious buttermilk vanilla cake with bourbon peaches, The Fancy Cat Studio designed a custom crest and Pomp and Revel printed the design on edible fondant. The cake featured tall opulent tiers and sugar butterflies were dancing about…talk about romantic! Our bride wore a stunning gown that featured elegant sleeves, floral lace and a plunging back. Paired with her hand painted Dolce & Gabana kitten heels and cascading crystal earrings by Riot of Flowers, her bridal ensemble was simple yet feminine and elegant. She carried a colorful bouquet of peonies, caramel and mauve garden roses, dancing deutzia and campanula. Our talented Hair and Make-up artist, Jen Lagers, styled her hair in a high bun to show off the neckline of the gown and dewy makeup with a neutral smoky eye. Standing beside her, our groom wore a classic white and black tux. This micro-wedding inspiration proves that stripping down the guest list doesn’t have to mean sacrificing unique details! We wanted to remind couples facing postponements and cancellations of their large wedding celebrations that they can still get married in a beautiful, unique and safe way!”
