World Trade Center of Seattle Wedding | Leanne and Rich

Leanne and Rich both travel a lot for work, so when they first got engaged, they knew that they wanted to hire a wedding planner. Rich immediately thought of Kelly, Sweet Pea Events founder, as they knew each other when Kelly was still living in Seattle 10 years ago. Kelly put Rich and I in contact, and I’m so ever thankful.

The first time I met with Leanne and Rich, I just knew we were a great fit and was looking forward to the next several months of planning. Leanne is just the sweetest and Rich has this dry sense of humor that makes such a good partnership. The sweet couple wanted a wedding with a water view with indoor and outdoor spaces, excellent food and a space that will fit well with their 35 person guest count. Leanne and Rich settled on the World Trade Center of Seattle. It’s an affiliate of Bell Harbor and has one of the most incredible views, an outdoor patio. I kept hearing over and over from their guests how delicious the food was!

The bride blows glass and knew that instead of having floral centerpieces she wanted to handmake the centerpieces herself. They fell in love with a deep ocean image of a royal blue color and we used that as their inspiration for their color palette. Royal blue was the focus, with a few touches of white, black and other jewel tones.

The couple had such a sweet ceremony. They wanted to make sure to include some of the people closest to them and involved in Leanne’s parents, Rich’s sons and daughter-in-law, and Leanne’s nieces into the ceremony.

The couple had so much love pouring out of each of them. They are truly one of those couples who you can’t help but have warm fuzzy feelings when you’re around them. The way they look at each other is just this intense love.

Congrats Leanne and Rich! We’re so glad that we were able to be a part of your special day and so excited for you to start your lives together!

Jasmine and Mitchell

Jasmine and Mitchell

Within minutes of meeting Jasmine, we learned (and bonded) that we both have a severe love of our home – Dallas, Texas – but also adore our new city of Seattle. With Jasmine and Mitchell having a “destination” wedding in Dallas, but living in Seattle, it made for a perfect fit for our Sweet Pea Events team!

I can’t begin to describe how sweet of a couple Jasmine and Mitchell are. They are two people that you just can’t help smiling with when you’re around them.

Their Elegant Ceremony

Jasmine and Mitchell’s wedding is stunning! It’s on a hot, October day at the beautiful Hotel Crescent Court in the courtyard (where the two had first gotten engaged!) Jasmine and Mitchell looked as if they had just walked off the cover of a magazine. It was a true fairy tale for them – Mitchell’s niece and nephew even refered to Jasmine as “Princess Jasmine!” The ceremony included two beautiful worship songs and an Asian Tea Ceremony.

As the ceremony wrapped up, the couple shared some private time and finished taking sunset photos. Guests were lead upstairs for cocktail hour and light appetizers. Guests were then welcomed to dinner with a gorgeous layout out of beautiful arrangements, lights and a ballroom ambiance.

As we were going over their menu selection during the planning process, what struck me the most is how they had two steak options. Most couples opt to do a beef and either a chicken or fish option. Mitchell explained, that the first time he met Jasmine’s family in Texas, they went out to dinner at a steakhouse. Everyone (including Jasmine’s mom, sister and grandma) all ordered steak. He was baffled by that and loved how Texan it was! They chose to share that custom with their guests.

The Reception

The reception was a PARTY with the Shoe Game, Photobooth, and great dancing! Jasmine and Mitchell wrapped up the night by having a sweet, private moment back in the courtyard where they said “I Do” earlier that day, and “Yes” to a proposal months before. Guest lined the balcony to wave the newlyweds off and send them their best wishes.

Congrats Jasmine and Mitchell! We hope you two have a lifetime of happiness, love and steak!

Amy and Andy

Amy and Andy said “I Do” on Orcas Island overlooking the water and amazing views. They knew they wanted a destination wedding to celebrate with all their family and friends far and near. They knew immediately once seeing the view at Rosario Resort, that Rosario was the venue for them!

The Big Day

The celebrations began on Friday night with a Welcome Party for all 140 guests and just continued the celebrations for the wedding day! The ceremony had such a breath-taking view, that we didn’t want to add too much to take away from this space. So instead we focused on the reception. We covered the ceiling with over 1,000 white Chinese lanterns with hanging vines. It made it feel as if you were underneath the most beautiful clouds.

The couple wanted lots of greenery, with copper and blue accents and some pops of red. The copper was brought in primarily through the copper flatware and used copper Moscow Mule mugs as favors and escort cards. One of my favorite blue details were the agate table numbers. Thatch Floral did a stunning job bringing in the greens and red and making the indoors feel like a outdoor heaven.

Amy and Andy danced the night away overlooking the water! Congrats you two!

Nicole and Danny Wedding: Bonney Lake, Washington

Nicole and Danny married at a unique venue in Bonney Lake, Seattle. They chose Seven Summits Lodge as the backdrop to the big day. What made this an unique venue is that the reception room was actually a pool room. Most days the community around Seven Summits Lodge can stop by and go swimming in this room. For weddings, they empty the water and raise the pool floor to make it the floor for the reception. This is one of the only pools in the country that does this! And walking into Danny and Nicole’s wedding reception, you’d never guess that it was pool the day before!

With Nicole’s sparkling personality, she knew that she wanted to have lots of rose gold and sparkles throughout the wedding. Nicole has a keen eye for details and included some of the cutest little details throughout the day including adorable individual reserved signs, cute signage and perfect colors throughout! There were so many little personal details that all tied together perfectly!

Nicole and Danny knew they wanted a small, intimate wedding of 70 guests. They truly wanted the it to be fun, intimate affair with a rocking dance party!

All day the air was smoky due to a fire coming from Crystal Mountain. Fortunately, right before the couple walked down the aisle, the smoke cleared up slightly, and you could even see some blue skies! Nicole and Danny’s adorable 3-year old son was the ring bearer. He was so nervous to walk down, but eventually made his way down the aisle.

The evening ended with a sparkler send off. Nicole and Danny left in a Rolls Royce and headed straight to the airport to catch a plan to Jamaica! We were honored to be Nicole and Danny’s wedding planner for the Lake Bonney Wedding.
