Fox Island Wedding From Bella Signature Design

May 14th. 2010 by Eddye | Filed Under | 12 comments

We are delighted to share Marissa and Dean’s beautiful wedding celebration sent to us by Daniela at Bella Signature Design.

This was such a fun wedding for us. Marissa and Dean were obviously in love, and Marissa had a great sense of style. After an exhausting search for venues, and not finding what they felt was really “them” they realized they really just wanted to get married where they live, on little Fox Island, WA. Not many wedding venues there, so they chose the Fox Island Yacht Club, which is pretty outside, but needed a few special touches inside!

Marissa was great at showing me images that captured the essence of what she wanted to create, which was ‘Coastal Northwest’. We created a color palette of “eucalyptus” a silvery/green/blue color, warm grey and accents of burnt orange (to represent the Northwest water, sky, and occasional bursts of sun). Marissa and Dean gathered driftwood that was used in the centerpieces, and built their chuppah themselves out of driftwood pieces.

It was so beautiful and organic in form, all we added was a bit of fabric over the top to “house” them as is tradition, and adorn the corners with some beach grass and a few blooms. We flanked the aisle with old gray benches for guests, and had lanterns with glowing candles next to each bench. The ceremony was outside in a pavilion-like structure. Marissa and Dean made blankets for all their guests, with adorable tags.

The cake was designed with Marissa’s help and had aged wood risers … and edible river tone pebbles, with a succulent on top!

Centerpieces consisted of driftwood pieces, with clusters of roses and succulents … alternated with grasses and metal cubes of roses. We draped the walls and ceiling (to hide the giant ships wheels and emblems)!  We designed cool green-blue lighting to backlight the walls and make the room glow almost as if underwater, while the ceiling glowed in a beautiful orange sunset hue.

  4. Anita R. Denis says:

    Classic choice of pictures and designs which greatly enhanced the Dean marriage--a truly exceptional wedding achieved by Bella Signature Designs...

  5. Thank you for all the nice comments! This was truly a fabulous wedding: besides the fact that my all time favorite thing to do is to transform a room to reflect the client, both the bride and groom were incredibly sweet, had fabulous ideas, and were a blast to collaborate with. It was the perfect mix of being given some direction, but then being allowed to be creative to achieve the look Marissa and Dean wanted. I'm glad you all enjoyed the pictures!
