Monica and I are currently working with a client whose wedding reception is this Spring. The groom’s aunt owns a lavender farm outside of Seattle, Washington and we have been playing with various design ideas and ways in which we can incorporate lavender into their reception.  These images have been inspiring us.  I love the idea of potted lavender plants but then I also love the centerpiece that mixes lavender with mint!  It just sounds and looks so delicious!  What do you think?

Are any of you Seattle brides still looking for an eco-friendly wedding dress or jewelry?  If so this Wednesday, April 28th the Seattle Fashion Group International is hosting a Twice Blushed Trunk Show that I would encourage you to attend.  This is a great opportunity to view wedding gowns from   Twice Blushed and look through some environmentally conscious jewelry to compliment your wedding attire.  They will be serving cupcakes from Cupcake Royale so you could technically squeeze in a mini tasting while sipping on some champagne. Sounds pretty good right?

I love hearing about businesses that have taken the lead to make their products more sustainable.  When I stumbled upon Snoqualmie Vineyards I knew I had to share it with our readers.  They have a wide selection of wines (Naked, Snoqualmie and Reserve) that would compliment a Seattle wedding reception perfectly. Their wines are all made in Washington state, are certified organic and the company has a strong commitment towards sustainable wine production.  You can read more about their commitment to the environment here. So if you are still searching for that perfect wine to serve at your Seattle green wedding reception, look no further. :)

I might even have to pick up a bottle of the Gewurtztraminer myself.

I saw this come through Twitter the other day and wanted to share it with all you vintage brides having a Seattle wedding. 

Gossamer Collective is hosting a Vintage Wedding fair this Saturday, March 20th from 12-6pm. 

“Gossamer is providing an alternative to the overwhelming, overpriced wedding service options:

~ A beautiful afternoon for you to come and meet local vendors that specialize in budget-friendly weddings with a “vintage” flair ~”

This sounds like a great opportunity to meet with local Seattle wedding vendors (photography, make-up, invitations, caterer etc) while sipping on some champagne!  The entry fee is $8 and you can find more information on the event here.  Let us know if you decide to attend!
