Ferna-lucious Wedding at JM Cellars from Event Success

"Ferna-lucious Wedding at JM Cellars from Event Success" is a guest blog from wedding planner Jacky Grotle of Event Success of the 2016 Weddings in Woodinville wedding wine tour.

“Ferna-lucious” theme was a huge hit at the JM Cellars location on the Weddings in Woodinville 2016 Tour.  Guests were dropped off at Brumble Bump path and greeted by Event Success.  Each guest was given a program designed by The Card Bar in green ombre, then invited to taste a glass of JM Cellars wine.

Together with Aria style Event Success designed a natural modern feel with a lot of wood, fern-a-canes (hurricane candles with ferns), silver accents all while showcasing the venue’s new larger space.  Our inspiration was the lush gardens there at JM Cellars. An iron gate was the entrance to the ceremony space with many great fern accents.  The show stopper was the moss isle runner with lanterns on each side with an organic wreath and pillar arrangements at the “alter area”.

Guests then met some of the great vendors that helped the day & our styled shoot come together like Kathy Evans Beauty, Princess Bride & Amelia Soper Photography.   Thank you to our gracious model. See the amazing photos!

Listening to current tunes/ and featuring a solo violinist provided by Seattle Parties added to the great ambiance as guests sampled delicious food prepared by Kaspars Catering. We used Aria Style’s lounge in front of the fireplace for a spot to relax and warm up.  Hillcrest Bakery did a gorgeous display and gave samples.  This family run bakery always hits it out of the park.

The clear tent, from Cort Party Rentals, had our feature table utilizing geometric wood centerpieces, natural boxes with maidenhair fern accents, all the plates, glassware, silverware, chairs, and stools were from Cort Party Rentals too. Napkins, linens & runners were provided by Choice Linens. The large wood table owned by JM Cellars created a WOW effect and showed guests how a head table can be different & fun. 

Since the wineries allow dogs at the venues and we know they are loved dearly here in the Northwest, we dressed up one in a tux and another in a flower collar and they were a big hit and got many people to smile.

We brought all the items together and styled it to evoke interest and something unique and beautiful.  We hope you loved it as much as we did!

All the best,
Jacky Grotle Event Success
