Having recently moved to Washington from New York, Tawny and Cate were excited to design an outdoor wedding away from the busy lifestyle of NYC. Surrounded by friends and family, the couple exchanged vows at a Buddhist ceremony. The reception at Barnstar Events was filled with raw earthy tones, exposed wood, and a delicious pie table! We love how the hint of mint green in the decor and favors added a light, fresh take to this beautiful outdoor wedding. Making sure not to miss a single moment, Sarah Postma Photography captured lovely photos of the couple on their big day!

The Couple:

Tawny and Cate

The Wedding:

Barnstar Events, Ferndale, Washington

The Inspiration:

After living in New York City for so long, we were really looking forward to having an outdoor relaxed Washington wedding. We really wanted the natural farmland surrounding to play a big part in the décor. Tawny is super into design and color so she was all about making mood boards for everything. I think both of our outfits had vintage inspiration with a touch of bling. Tawny fell in love with the texture of her dress right away. Cate’s outfit was a little harder to piece together. She ended up wearing her mother’s vintage silk pant, amazing gold shoes and a custom vest that Tawny designed and finished with gold leather straps. We wanted the wedding party to be cohesive but for each person’s individual style to shine through. We gave our wedding party a color palette, and they took it from there. One of the best parts was seeing everyone’s outfits in-person for the first time right before the ceremony. It was like 10 first looks in one day.

The Moments:

We had just moved from New York to Seattle a few months before the wedding. We were super happy to be spending more time with family, but we were really missing our New York friends. For both of us, it was so amazing to look around and see our family and friends from across the country connecting, having a great time and celebrating us. We also had a killer buddhist ceremony.

The Couple Recommends:

As soon as we were engaged, the first vendor we booked was Sarah Postma Photography. We have both admired her work and knew we had to have her. Posing for photos with her always seemed so natural, not a chore, but fun. I have a really big family and she was SO good at organizing everyone quickly and getting great shots. Her style is natural, her compositions are unique and beautiful. We can’t recommend her enough!
