In Part 1, I mentioned the aqua and poppy color scheme… but what I didn’t mention was the a-mazing way it was carried out. Semiahmoo’s tent was transformed by Steven Moore Designs into a veritable whimsical paradise. Check out the FISH in their centerpieces, the gorgeous tent, and the blue lanterns!

You are just not going to believe the cuteness that is Lyndsey and Matt’s Washington wedding.  The awe-inspiring Michele Waite, per usual, did a fantastic job photographing the event and was kind enough to share with the EAD readers!

First, let’s meet our beautiful bride Lyndsey:

When I first laid eyes on Yvonne and David’s incredible wedding pictures…they took my breath away. I immediately contacted her about featuring her wedding on EAD and she generously agreed. She described planning the wedding as a true “labor of love”, which clearly shows in all the personal and incredible details below.

Alexa from Fiore Blossoms sent over these gorgeous images from a recent Seattle wedding. How gorgeous is the bride’s bouquet?

I am loving the lush feeling of this wedding. The venue, the Sunset Club in Seattle, has murals and antique chandeliers. Perfect for this vintage wedding. Check out more images (including a pic of the bride in feathers and fur) on Alexa’s blog!

Back with part 2 of Jeff and Judy’s gorgeous Idaho event.  What’s so interesting about some of these images that Heather shot them with a Holga camera.  I had no idea what this was prior to reading Heather’s post, but I love the coloring that the light leaks create (and the camera is only $24!).

One of the first photography blogs that A. and I started reading was Heather Gilson’s One Love Photo blog.  So when Heather sent us over some of her favorite real weddings to feature, I was incredibly excited to see my favorite one from her blog, the Idaho river wedding of Jeff and Judy! 

Isn’t their “flower girl” adorable?

Green = going vintage and buying from independent designers.

Laura from the fab Laura Bee Designs sent over a link to her gorgeous handmade bridal bags that incorporate vintage elements.  How beautiful is this Celeste bag?  This one piece satisfied all of the bride’s ”somethings”!  The zipper pull is a charm given to the brides’ mother by the brides’ father on their wedding day, the flower was taken from the brides’ sister’s veil, and for the something blue?  A blue moire lining!

This one was FUN!  Steffanie is getting married in July at the gorgeous Seattle Asian Art Museum.  She says:

Colors: vivid oranges, gray tones.  Ceremony+reception venue: Seattle Asian Art Museum (deco, urban, garden and… asian — ceremony at koi pond in front of museum, reception in tents and in the museum’s inner-courtyard. My fiance is not asian (I am) and we DON’T want to have an asian-type theme. We want: modern yet classic, garden yet luxurious… this starting to sound like an “opposites attract” theme!!

So here’s what I came up with.  I think it has the right mix for Steffanie - at first glance of the board there appears to be quite a bit of gray but it’s just in the accents and the natural decor of the building - the rest of the decor should be predominantly in her vivid orange tone.  To stick with her opposites attract theme, I think it’s important to use the orange in unexpected ways, such as in her tent lighting, but also in her floral arrangements, which should be very lush and whimsical to accomplish the “garden yet luxurious” vibe.
