The ceremony and reception will be held at the same venue. Vintage Gardens in Ridgefield WA

We would say more on the side of dressy casual/festive. The ceremony will be held in an outdoor garden so we'd recommend flat-soled shoes or wedges to avoid sinking into the grass. If you'd like ideas on what colors to wear our wedding colors will be pops of baby blue, shades of pink, yellow, lavender, etc. Think pacific northwest wildflowers!

The average temperature in Washington in June is about 71 degrees.

The ceremony will be taking place in an outdoor garden. The reception will be held outside but under a large black out tent to help us stay cool.

After the ceremony the bride and groom will be taking pictures nearby for around an hour. Guest can head straight to the reception tent where we will be serving finger foods and beverages We also ask for the help of our guest to move the wooden benches from the ceremony back to their designate areas.

The ceremony will start at 3:45pm!

There is onsite parking that is free to all guests!
