Columbia Winery
Theme Décor/Planner: Erin Lindeman, Lindeman Events
"The Royal Gardens"
Come see for yourself how we transform Columbia Winery’s ballroom into ‘The Royal Gardens.’ This is a great illustration of how to turn a classic elegant room into a chic and personalized wedding reception without having to spend a fortune. The use of rented trees, dramatic draping and lighting will be the backdrop of this majestic soirée. Wish a rich selection of champagnes and a dash of black crystal chandeliers, we have given the traditional palette more of a modern sparkle.
We will also be showcasing the latest wedding dress trends along with a host of other talented vendors. So come delight your senses by savoring the delicious food, fine wines and visual decadence at Columbia Winery.
Matthews Estate
Theme Décor/Planner: BreeAnn Gale, Pink Blossom Events
"Love Is In The Air"
When designing the theme for Matthews Estate for this year’s event we wanted to utilize both the Tasting Room and Estate House but making sure we kept with the same theme throughout. Succulents with pops of robin’s egg blue and burgundy led the way to a romantic rehearsal dinner in the Tasting Room and an elegant picnic wedding reception up at the Estate House. As you tour Matthews Estate allow yourself to envision not only your wedding day but also the perfect location for your rehearsal dinner! The inspiration board incorporate both the inspiration for the rehearsal dinner in the Tasting Room and the elegant picnic reception up at the Estate House.
Novelty Hill/Januik Winery
Theme Décor/Planner: Jennifer Taylor, Taylor'd Events by Jennifer
“Chandelier Lounge”
My inspiration for my design was “The Chandelier” at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. I loved all the crystal and glass being used. I wanted to bring glitter and glamour to the modern feel of Novelty Hill-Januik Winery. The reason I chose to do a reception style with soft seating is to showcase the little used Reception style, it is a great way to mix and mingle with your guests.
JM Cellars
Theme Décor/Planner: Melody Davis, MG Davis Events
"Contemporary Classic Vines"
The beautiful natural surroundings of JM Cellars, and the unique, romantic gathering places that the winery offers, inspired our creation this year of a wedding that portrays contrasting elements of nature and nurture . . . of comfort and style. We've blended neutral color hues and textures found in the natural world, with the classic sophistication of porcelain, silver, and crystal. Hanging over a grand, communal pine table is a custom designed chandelier that artfully joins old world architecture and vines with sparkling glass. The tablescape beneath displays a mélange of timeworn classics alongside modern elements and romantic flowers.
Our ceremony will be presented in two locations: Amid the copper doors in the Barrel Room and under the rustic birch arbor on the lower terrace.
Both indoor and outdoor spaces reflect the importance of friends and family, encouraging conversation and the nurturing of community.

"Vibrant-Elegant-Garden Theme"
V-E-G will be highlighting bright Oranges and Greens as they are the opposite sides of the color wheel and will create the effect and mood we are looking for.
The gold accents will add a touch of elegance and glamour to the garden. Using Obelisks, herbs, floral and textured linens our garden wedding will fit right in with the sheep on this gorgeous ten acre property.
Willows Lodge
Theme Décor/Planner: Janel Schlit, Occasions, LLC
“Woodland Glamour”
Our superior design team has created a lush and romantic experience that encompasses the Northwest feel of the lodge with pure glamour! Between Aria Style and Occasions, LLC what more would you expect?! To say the least, we love this venue and this theme for our tour for Weddings in Woodinville 2012. From the sparkle of the crystals to the lighted branches this project has let us dive into uncharted territory. We love the idea of combining casual elegance to over top glamour to achieve pure rustic elegance!
We are looking forward to showing off our creativity, partnership and of course passion for weddings!

Photo by Belathee PhotographyPops of bright yellow, orange and burgundy fill Hollywood Schoolhouse this September as Rachel and Tye tied the knot! Rachel and Tye currently reside in North Carolina so it was a pleasure helping coordinate their wedding day as they returned home to celebrate with friends and family!
Photo by Belathee PhotographyI have two distinct favorite memories of this wedding. One was having to actually kick out the groom as he was so excited to help decorate the venue that morning that I had to let him know that photos were soon beginning at Rachel’s parents home in Sammamish and he might miss those. He had spent hours creating the colorful hanging paper flowers and luminaries that would light the path as guests leaved and he wanted to be sure they were all finished. Luckily for him, Pink Blossom Events was able to finish his labor of love!
Photo by Belathee PhotographyThe second memory came as guests were dismissed to the buffet by trivia. Guests were rolling with laughter as Tye and Rachel created the most humorous multiple-choice questions. For example, at one point in their career Rachel was his boss and this question came about from that:
