Annie + Nathanael - August 2022 | Photo By Char Beck | It was a sunny August afternoon, perfect for Annie and Nathanael's special day. The couple had a stunning outdoor ceremony that overlooked the blooming venue. Notice how their elevated florals, gold accents, and chiavari chairs brought the design together. We especially loved how the couple made their day uniquely theirs and showed off their fun personalities every step of the way, like making sure to get some actions shots skating before heading down the aisle.

An Earth-friendly guide to green and gorgeous weddings. | Photo by Courtney Hellen Photography | As you plan one of the most special days of your life, it's essential to ensure that it is a sustainable one. Weddings can be major contributors to waste, energy use, and carbon emissions, but there are ways to make your event more earth-friendly. A Guide To "Greening" Up Your Wedding 1. Choose an eco-friendly venue. Select a venue that is environmentally friendly. Whether it’s a local park or a sustainable farm, choose a location that minimizes carbon footprint and considers the environment. In Portland, the Eco-Trust Venues are a "values-driven operation that exists to support Ecotrust's work towards a more equitable, prosperous, and climate-smart future" with 100% of event rental proceeds going back to Ecotrust's Earth-Saving nonprofit initiatives. In Seattle, venues like Islandwood on Bainbridge Island are not only a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding weekend, but they are also committed to paving the way for a greener future. | Photo by Courtney Hellen Photography | 2. Digital invitations over printed goods. E-vites and digital invitations reduce the environmental impact of printed invitations. Companies like PaperlessPost and Green Envelope are terffic options allowing you the beauty of traditional invitations with the tree-saving and time saving benefits of online replies. If you want to send paper invitations, choose recycled paper or plantable invitations made from recycled paper that can be planted in the garden after use. Courtesy of Paperless Post Courtesy of Cast Paper Art (left) and Paperless Post (right) 3. Choose sustainable decor. Choose a florist who works with eco-friendly decor options like natural flowers, locally grown, and have them arranged in re-purposed vases. Decorate with locally sourced items, so there is less transportation and fewer carbon emissions. Instead of buying vases and candles, choose a florist that has a terrific inventory of items and rent them instead of purchasing new. Consider florists like Amanda Karam, Flowers for You, and Bella Bloom. We also love working with potted plants in addition to cut flowers. Florists like Amarie Floral can design your epically gorgeous (and seasonal) floral decor with longevity in mind. Imagine having some of your wedding floral planted in a memory garden of sorts allowing you to remember your wedding day long after your day is over. In Seattle, Floravore is a sustainable wedding floral design studio that values creating and nurturing relationships with local farmers and believes that " beautiful wedding flowers can be thoughtful, sustainable, and support the local agricultural community." 4. Sourcing local and sustainable food and drinks. Choose a caterer that supports local farmers and provides organic foods that do not rely on harmful pesticides. Choose to serve seasonal produce, which reduces food transportation, energy, and water usage. In Seattle, choosing a company like Ravishing Radish who focuses on building menu's with local ingredients picked at the height of the season will ensure your guests never forget your wedding meal. In Portland, catering partners like Crave Catering sources ingredients straight from their own farm. Talk about local! Devils Food Catering is highly committed to creating a brighter feature for us all through their business practices by sourcing local, seasonal produce from small purveyors and by serving PNW pasture-raised meats and sustainably harvested seafood. They also compost all of their kitchen’s food scraps and they donate larger amounts of leftovers to those experiencing food insecurity. All around there are amazing vendor partners who share your values AND do amazing work! 5. Reusable, recyclable, or compostable plates and cutlery. Use plates and flatware that are reusable, as they’re the simplest way to reduce waste. However, if that’s not feasible, use plates/cutlery that are compostable, biodegradable or made from sustainable materials, and make sure to recycle them. Partnering with Cort and Arden and many other local event rental companies will help you bring your design vision to life while reducing waste. If you want to go compostable, check out Amazon. So many great options to choose from. 6. Encourage eco-friendly transportation. Encourage wedding guests to carpool, bike, or use public transit to reduce their carbon footprint. Consider providing ridesharing services, and consider having the wedding ceremony and reception in one location to reduce transportation. Providing shuttles is another awesome transportation option. Check out ecoShuttle and Butler Seattle. We hope these ideas have sparked interest in creating a more Earth friendly wedding.

We offer a complimentary consultation and we would love to learn more about your ideas and share how we can help make them happen. Happy Planning! With Love, Kim Morrill

October 2022 | Classic & timeless white and green design for a greenery-centric venue on Bainbridge Island | Photo By Lola Mango Photo| The Manor House is nestled away on Bainbridge Island and is such a beautiful and peaceful spot for wedding. Amy and Justin opted for a simple and elegant white and green wedding design, which fit seamlessly with the venue's abundance of greenery. We LOVED Amy's pearl veil (on both Amy and Justin, a moment worth capturing) and their alternative guest book where guests signed a vintage globe to display in their new home. All in all, the day felt very much like them, and we were more than happy to be a part of it! See The Vendor Team who made this day a reality at the end of the gallery.

May 2022 | Classic, wine country wedding for two Nike employees | Photo By Lindsay Blair Photography | Michelle and Cameron's love story started at Nike, and throughout this gallery, you'll see little nodes to their beginning: matching Nike's for the groomsmen, mini Nike shoe cake toppers (no, it wasn't a baby announcement!), etc. They both loved the beauty of the venue, so they kept it classic and on the minimalistic side. They opted for a head table and a centered dance floor, so that way everyone could be a part of the party whether they were sitting or standing. And we LOVED the personal touches the added. Michelle and Cameron spent the last month or so crafting 1000 paper cranes: a Japanese tradition that symbolizes honor, good fortune, loyalty, and longevity. Their place cards doubled as favors: lottery tickets! Such a pleasure to be along for the ride with these two! See The Vendor Team who made this day a reality at the end of the gallery.

Lindsey and Garrick - June 2021 You can never go wrong with classic black and gold. Details, darling, details! The contrast of the gold against black, the bold red lip, the handwritten and san-serif font choices... all striking, sophisticated and intentional.

March | The Oregon coast was made for love, as was The Ruins at the historic Astor Hotel, built in 1921. The Oregon coast was made for love, as was The Ruins at the historic Astor Hotel, built in 1921. This unique space really spoke to the couple, so we added flourishes of gold and teal, simple votives by Milwaukie Floral and draping market lights by Greenlight Creative to complement its features. Every Oregonian know that the Oregon coast is rarely a tropical paradise, but there is something special about celebrating in the cold of March with a wood fireplace to keep everyone warm and cozy.

Katie and Tony - June 2021 As planners, we get the opportunity to visit some amazing venues throughout the NW, but there is nothing quite like The Orchard and its intimate backyard romance. Even though we've gotten to see a handful of beautiful weddings at the Orchard, Katie and Tony's joy is one of a kind. Our favorite part was the baby blue and pear details on The Orchard's farmhouse tables - so sweet and simple. Thank you to the Vendor Team!

August 2021 | Lakeside backyard wedding in Washington | Photo By Zoe Burchard Studio | Underneath the Willow Tree at Katie's Parent's backyard, with Lake Sammamish sparkling in the background - what an amazing place to get married! Kate and Kevin's group had a relaxing energy, and we built the day around having time: time to relax, time to hang out, time to be present, and time to have fun. Kate started the day with a massage, the wedding crew gathered around a guitar before the ceremony, Katie and Kevin lounged in the hammock by the lake - it was blissful! We'll never forget Kevin's serenade to Katie or the way they looked into each others' eyes. It was such a joy to turn this home into their wedding venue and witness all the love!
