Home Garden Wedding

Margo and Clayton were married over Labor Day Weekend in Seattle. They are such a fun and laid back couple and I so enjoyed planning their beautiful outdoor wedding. Margo and Clayton love nature and were able to create their wedding celebration at a friend's private garden. The garden with all it's trails and lush greenery kept guests exploring. Family friends grew organic floral for the bouquets and decor. Each guest table featured small bud vases hand picked at thrift stores filled with an assortment of colorful flowers. Margo grew her own wheat grass for the escort cards and clayton built and painted the wooden direction signs. Seasoned in Seattle provided an abundance of fresh local dishes and Jen's Desserts created a gorgeous cake with whole raspberry filling. Guests devoured the Theo Chocolates truffle bar later in the evening then warmed themselves by the crackling fire pit in between jumping in and out of the vintage photo booth.

The following photos captured by Derek Pearson Photography tell the story of their sweet day...

  6. My mother married at a park next to a greenhouse. It was beautiful, especially when the weather cooperated with her plans!
