Real Wedding: Megan & Ryan

DateFriday, December 11, 2009 at 2:28PM

My friend BreeAnn Gale from Pink Blossom Events shared some images with me from one of her recent weddings at Hidden Meadows in Snohomish, and I instantly fell in love.  This is such a cute place, and since it is a relatively new venue it earns it's place as a 'hidden gem'.  Thank you to BreeAnn and the talented Natasha Reed for sharing these images!  

 

On a beautiful day this view is breathtaking.  I love the peaceful feeling of weddings in Snohomish! 

This color palette is one of my favorites for spring - it has a light, happy look that contrasts with the dark wood flooring perfectly.

 Mmmm.... 

One of the biggest trends in the last few years is to create a logo for your Wedding Day, which becomes the theme of the invitations, programs, and even the favors.  I love the clean and modern look of this logo - it has a timelessness that makes it fashionable now and in ten years.   

I love this placecard idea!  Clever and oh-so-true!

Hump-Day Giveaway from Emici Bridal!

DateWednesday, October 14, 2009 at 2:43PM

I absolutely love the custom ring-bearer pillows from Emici Bridal... they are so unique, and perfectly tie into your color palette and theme.  Marie was sweet enough to offer a $50 gift certificate to giveaway, so just post a comment telling us which design is your favorite, and Marie will select the winner next Wednesday.

Above: Left, a smaller ivory silk dupioni ring bearer pillow with toast color imported satin ribbons and a coordinating pearled silk dupioni rose ... perfect for an Autumn wedding.  Right, ice-blue silk dupioni with toast imported ribbon and embroidered accent.   

Above: Left, a heavy weave silk ring bearer pillow in an oyster color with imported ivory satin ribbons. The ribbon is topped with a giffin button, a nod to Marie's love of architecture.  Right, ivory silk dupioni ring bearer pillow with a huge vintage carved mother of pearl disc surrounded by ostrich feathers.  (This one is my favorite - I love feathers!)

Above: Ivory silk dupioni ring bearer pillow with pink satin ribbons and a large freshwater pearl beaded pink peony. Also features ivory esprit net petals.

Leave a comment telling us which design is your favorite, then check back next Wednesday to see if you were chosen to win the $50 Hump-Day Giveaway Gift Certificate!  :)

So much to share!

DateSunday, October 11, 2009 at 12:42PM

Every October I get a chance to catch my breath, soak up the crisp fall air, and reflect on the year past and year to come.  In fact, I am heading out to one of my favorite places - Alderbrook Resort - to plan the next few months and work on some of the many fabulous things I have in mind for Seattle Style in 2010.  Yes, I know I've been a bit quiet the last few weeks, but don't get used to it - I could fill a book with all the many things we will be sharing.  (Hmmm ... )

Feeling Fancy?

DateSunday, October 11, 2009 at 12:20PM

I love fabulous design!  Tere's creations from Ink Fancy have caught my eye several times this year, and she was sweet enough to send me some of her latest letterpress invitations to share.  This is just the first of several inspirations I have to share, but it is definitely one of my favorites.  Sooooo pretty! 

 

There is just something about the feel of letterpress that says 'luxury' instantly ... I loved this design because it is so clean, yet the floral design gives it just a touch of whimsy. 

Thank you, Tere, for sharing your beautiful work!

Chocolate Icing

DateFriday, September 11, 2009 at 3:04PM

I love this tabletop design by Aria Style, which combined chocolate-brown with ice-blue and sweet garden-style accents.  The 'Bonjour' gift boxes are adorable, and the place settings by Totally Tabletops give it the touch of elegance that completed the look perfectly.  Gorgeous!

Something Blue ... For Your Shoes!

DateMonday, September 7, 2009 at 3:51PM

You approach the altar ... your eyes connect with your groom ... you take his hand and kneel to share a quiet moment before you are pronounced husband and wife ... as you do, your soles declare the words your soul has been dying to say ... 'I Do!'  We stumbled (no pun intended) on this little gem at All About Weddings, compliments of the ever-fabulous Mindy Weiss.

The Apache Wedding Prayer

DateSaturday, September 5, 2009 at 8:00AM

Living in Seattle, I've attended many weddings that were 'blessed' with a solid dousing of rain.  The first part of the Apache Wedding Prayer always struck me as particularly relevant to our little corner of the world!  If you are searching for a great poem to have one of your readers share, this is one of my personal favorites. 

Apache Wedding Prayer

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter to the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth to the other.
Now there is no more loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two bodies,
But there is only one life before you.
Go now to your dwelling place
To enter into the days of your togetherness
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
