Right off the bat I’m in love with this wedding when I see its rainbow of blush colored bridesmaid dresses. And then I see the pink and white flowers, the beyond beautiful dress, the gorgeous church, and yes, the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and I’m officially in full on wedding crush mode this afternoon. Captured to perfection by Riso Studio, this Seattle nuptial has single-handedly resurrected my love of all things traditional. See even more here.

From the Bride…For me, the vision for our wedding day came together as soon as I saw our reception venue. We wanted to have a classic wedding but with modern influences and the spectacular stained-glass ceiling in the Northern Lights Dome Room of the Arctic Club Hotel was the perfect compliment to our classic but modern wedding. The colors incorporated into the ceiling of the dome became my palette and inspired details in the table decor, flowers, bridesmaids dresses, invitations and ceremony programs.
Some of my favorite memories of the wedding-experience are those leading up to the day. Weddings are a reflection of love between the couple as well as the family and friends who surround them. The love and attention by our family and friends was overwhelmingly evident by the effort and hours my Mom and I spent making runners for our tables, the planning my sister put into organizing our engagement and bachelorette parties, the time my Fiancé and Dad took off work to attend vendor meetings, the bridesmaids assembly line putting together welcome boxes, the multiple car-trips to and from Spokane by my future in-laws, and the distance traveled by our wedding guests over a holiday weekend. They are all contributors to the success and beauty of our wedding day.

Love the robes for the bridal party? Where did the bride get them?
What an amazingly beautiful wedding! The photography is perfection and the bride and groom make such a darling couple! Love it!
I'm not the bride but I've seen the robes before. They're from Plum Pretty Sugar - http://plumprettysugar.com/
Enjoy :)
So Beautiful! The Bride is gorgeous (I am obsessed with the dress) and the photography is absolutely stunning!
Major dress envy. This makes me want to get married all over again so I can actually buy a real wedding dress. Also, what a great use of pink. I usually think pink is a non-starter for weddings, but this totally works.
GORGEOUS!! i love the photo of the bride + groom kissing between the columns - so stunning.
LOVE the dress! Who's the designer?
Beautiful! Does anyone know where the charcoal tuxes are from?
Beautiful! Does anyone know where the charcoal tuxes are from? And, if they are purchased or rentals?
Gorgeous wedding, gorgeous photos! The perfect Seattle wedding.
These pictures are amazing! This wedding looks like an absolute dream and everything about it is stunning. The back of the bride's dress is so unbelievably beautiful...and I love how the groom and his grooms men were featured. So sophisticated, yet still shows personality! The same can be said with the contrast between the amazing locations of the photos, between the architecture in the church, the the brick buildings in the alley way. Amazing!

Beautiful bride. Looks like a stunning day that was perfectly captured in photography.

Thank you for all of your comments! Shannon (the photographer) did an amazing job capturing the day. I'm in love all over again.
To answer your questions:
The dress is by Lazaro and the suirs were rented from a shop in Kirkland, WA (http://tuxedoclubkirkland.com/ )
The "Welcome" boxes are a delightful touch for out of town guests - what was in them?
What kind of flowers did you all incorporate? They are so pretty!! :)
So gorgeous, what a beautiful bride! Are they personalised ice-cream cone wrappers? they are so cute! who did these?
What a beautiful wedding, with gorgeous details. Where did you get the large round balloon from? Love it :)
Thanks for all the comments! Ben & Jerry's did the cone wrappers along with their super cute matching ice cream cart! Flowers used were: David Austin Garden Roses, Spray Roses, Dahlias, Lisianthus, Freesia, and Hydrangea.
