Jessica + Matthew's Timeless Garden Wedding
Jessica and Matthew wanted a simple and elegant wedding that was still fun and whimsical, true to who they are. From the team, "Inspired by the secret garden, we imagined wild summer foliage, a white tent, farm tables, bright white garden roses, and crisp linens."
Originally planted in 1915, Dunn Gardens is a privately owned estate nestled in the Broadview neighborhood of Seattle. This historic garden is known for its naturalistic groupings of trees, broad lawns, woodland walks, and expansive view of Puget Sound. This made for the perfect hideaway in the city for Jessica and Matthew's timeless wedding.
Each aspect of their event was held in a different location of the garden, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of their natural surroundings. The ceremony took place on the former tennis lawn underneath 100 year old fir trees.

More from the team, "We dressed the altar with wispy greenery and lined the back row of the vineyard chairs with wild, mixed foliage. Guests entered and exited the ceremony down woodland paths with white painted signs directing them."
A sophisticated invitation suite designed by Shine Wedding Invitations set the tone for Jessica and Matthew's timeless wedding day.

"Jess' natural beauty was complemented by Yessie Libby's soft makeup artistry and an elegant Sarah Seven a-line gown from The Dress Theory."
"Her gals wore Show Me The Ring Crisp gowns by Show Me Your Mumu next to the guys in true-blue suits and The Tie Bar ties."
"Two of our favorite details of the day were the ring bearer's and flower girl's attire: the little lady in a white linen dress with ribbon bows in her hair and the dapper boy in a true-blue suit jacket with matching blue shorts complemented by mid-calf pattered socks. Second to Jess and Matt, these two stole the show."
"The reception was held on the main lawn under a sailcloth tent, provided by Alexander Party Rentals. Farm tables were accented with dusty blue fabric runners from La Tavola Fine Linen, tall white pillar candles and wispy garlands."
"Charcoal striped napkins added a playful component to each place setting. Some other noteworthy details include the minimalist paper goods and fabric banner designed by Libby Tipton..."
"... the stylish white bar from Happy Hour Bar Rentals, and mid-century lounge furniture from Yay! Parties & Co. with oversized balloons."
"Two other vendors made this evening unforgettable: Duos Catering and Chris Graves Music. The food was incredible: fresh, inventive, and seasonal. Duos provided Northwest crab cakes, watermelon lollipops, summer peach and cherry salad, flat-iron steak, and cedar plank salmon to name a few menu items."

At the end of the night, "Chris literally filled the dance floor with his playlists until the evening wrapped up with a sparkler send off."
