Floral Filled Rupert on Rupert Wedding

September 4, 2022 | justine

Lauren and Donal’s Rupert on Rupert wedding is a flower lover’s dream! Featuring show-stopping florals in a fresh and vibrant color palette, florist Salt Flower showcased unique arrangements that perfectly complemented their warehouse restaurant venue’s lush botanical decor and tropical industrial vibe. 

While the plant-filled Conservatory provided a breathtaking backdrop for their ceremony, the big and bold floral installation at the altar was the statement piece. For the reception that followed, long-stemmed blooms in clear vases softened the urban yet quirky aesthetic of the Main Hall. 

A gorgeous celebration like this calls for equally stunning attire. The bride’s pearl-detailed wedding dress hit all the right fashion notes, while the groom went for a timeless look with a classic suit and pink tie. If you’re in search of wedding inspo where the florals take centerstage, then look no further. Scroll through and swoon over these beautiful details as captured by Kyra Boyer

Personalizing Their Wedding By Writing Their Vows And Weaving Their Love Story Into The Ceremony

The ceremony, officiated by Wendy Does Weddings, was amazing. We wrote our own vows, Wendy was great at weaving in our personal narrative, and our ceremony felt like it perfectly captured the feeling we wanted. It was full of laughter and joy. She made it feel like she’d known us forever and wasn’t just reading off a script about a pair of strangers.

Their Wedding Photographer Made Them Feel Confident And Relaxed In Front Of The Camera

Coming from two people who don’t like taking photos of themselves, the process of finding a photographer was daunting. We spent a lot of time researching to find someone that fits our style. We found Kyra and knew we had made the right choice because she was amazing! She provided the perfect amount of direction while keeping the process natural and not feeling awkward. We enjoyed our time with her, and she was fantastic at finding candid moments to capture throughout the night.

Proud Of Their Rupert on Rupert Wedding Vibe

We wanted the wedding to feel like “us,” and we followed our intuition. We think it’s important to stay true to yourselves and not try to please others. We’re so proud that the overall vibe matched what we envisioned and how much people enjoyed themselves.

Rainy Day Admiral’s House Wedding

September 3, 2022 | justine

Rain may be the ultimate fear for any couple on their big day, but not for Caitlin and Grant. This couple embraced the unpredictable weather and made the rain on their Admiral’s House wedding work in their favor. On a majestic estate with unobstructed lake and city skyline views—their rainy day soiree featured whimsical florals and decor, a fresh and romantic color palette, and gorgeous wedding fashion. 

Dressed to the nines for the special occasion, the bride was a vision in her ethereal blue ombre gown. Meanwhile, the groom looked timeless in a classic black tux. The pair promised each other a lifetime of love under a gorgeous floral arbor that perfectly framed the moment they said their “I dos”. Following the garden ceremony, their guests were treated to a stunning waterfront reception where they dined and danced all night under hanging lush florals and a canopy of string lights

From the chic transparent umbrellas to a decked-out clear marquee, scroll through these incredible images captured by Wiley Putnam Photography to find out how the pair leveled up their celebration and didn’t let the bad weather rain on their parade.

The Couple:

Caitlin and Grant

The Wedding:

The Admirals House, Seattle, Washington, United States

Personalized Details Included Wearing An Heirloom Floral Wreath And Including Their Pet

We have a family tradition of wearing a floral wreath that has been passed down for generations. The first bride to wear it at her wedding was in 1871. I was the 26th family member to wear it. I had my florist rework the delicate wreath by adding tea roses, baby’s breath and greenery. We also had our fur baby Ziggy recess with us after the ceremony.

Preparing For Their Rainy Admiral’s House Wedding Day

Fun fact, it was the rainiest day of the year in Seattle and if you know anything about Seattle, you know it was pouring. We knew the rain was going to be relentless and so we added a lot of tents. We already had a large reception tent, but we had to add a smaller ceremony tent and three pop-up tents for the bar, photo booth, and valet areas. 

Making A Donation To An Environmental Charity Instead Of Wedding Favors

Our priorities were to make our wedding day a fun guest experience and limit things that would end up in the landfill. In lieu of traditional favors, and because we love the earth, we opted to donate to a charity grassroots organization called Thousand Currents in honor of our guests. They work with small local organizations driving climate change impact around the world.

They Became Fast Friends With Their Photographer

Wiley Putnam Photography was so much fun! We got to know each other during our engagement shoot, so on the wedding day, it was like hanging out with a friend. He even came to our after-party and sang karaoke with the late-night crowd.
