From Tetiana Photography... Negeen ad Ben were married on September 18th, 2021, at Lairmont Manor, a gorgeous Italian Renaissance-style home in Bellingham, WA. Due to the pandemic, it was the couple's fourth rescheduled date and even a different venue from the one they initially chose. But as Negeen said, "When we went to look at the venue in person, we instantly fell in love. It was kismet! I knew our wedding would be the first for many since pre-COVID, and I wanted them to be transported to a magical place once they arrived. We decided to go with a secret garden theme since the venue had such a beautiful garden in the back." Nargess of Fleur de Lis Events had worked very closely with the couple to create a design that would enhance the venue's beauty without taking over its unique charm. They drew inspiration from every corner of the Manor. The green vines and light pink roses Country Bouquets Floral included throughout the entire wedding's decor added just the right touch of color to the reception and ceremony space, making the decor blend in seamlessly with the lush gardens planted around the venue. The bride and groom got ready with their wedding parties at the venue. Most of Ben's wedding party and family had traveled from Hawaii to attend the wedding, and it was extra special for him to spend the morning of his wedding day surrounded by his loved ones. As a little Hawwaian token, Ben wore Shaka-shaped cufflinks that were a fun little addition to his otherwise classy attire. Negeen had a fun and relaxing morning with her girls.
