What a joy is was to work with this couple, and particularly with Sarah's mom. Wanda. When we first met, it was to create a design to dress up a lodge building in Bremerton because Sarah had dreamed of having her wedding day with the Olympic Mountain view the site afforded. Even though the representative from the lodge failed to show up for this sceduled initial meeting, Wanda and I met anyway and created a beautful crystal laden vision that would have been gorgeous.
And the.... the lodge called and pulled the rug out from under us. The facilty was no longer available. Not to worry, though. A quick call to my favorite park rangers Seth, Ed, and Vern at Kitsap Memorial State Park in Poulsbo, and we had a reservation for the park's Log hall
So after a few meetings around Wanda's kitchen table, a whole new concept evovled, rustic yet elegant in cranberry red. A jesting comment of Sarah's about burlap shoes from Tom's shoes turned into burlap table runners ..
a burlap aisle runner...
and even a burplap wrap on her bouquet
It was a beautiful afternoon for a beautiful bride & groom, a beautiful family at a beautiful venue with amazing photography by Tiffany Burke Photography and fabulous food by Essence of the Thymes Catering
and yes, she got her Olympic Mountain view...
