Citrus Countryside - a recount of Weddings in Woodinville from Perfectly Posh Events

~Holly Patton, Perfectly Posh Events, Weddings in Woodinville 2015 Guest Planner for The Loft at Woodinville Whiskey Company~

"The inspiration behind our “Citrus Countryside” theme was relaxing in the countryside on a lazy sunny afternoon while sipping a glass of champagne.  Since Woodinville is the wine country of the Pacific Northwest, I wanted to focus on other wine country’s in Italy, France and Napa because they are relaxed but still have an air of sophistication to them.  Incorporating citrus elements and colors into our theme really helped to create a cheerful ambiance that brightened the space and made it feel like it was summer in January! 

Butter & Bloom brought our theme to life with her gorgeous flowers that really popped on the dark wood tables from Seattle Farm Tables.  One of my favorite design details were the mini lemons, limes and oranges that she placed in the brass candle sticks which added a touch of citrus without being too overdone, they were simply cute and adorable! Our welcome table felt like spring time at the farmer’s market with her potted daffodils paired with crates from Vintage Ambiance that I filled with citrus fruit.  And her citrus and greenery chandelier hanging in the tent?  Absolutely stunning!!!  

The paper goods and details that Rosie with Song Bird Paperie created were full of so much joy and definitely helped to set the cheerful tone for our space.  Everything she created tied in nicely with the orange napkins from BBJ Linens and the place settings from ABC Cort.  From the adorable lemon tags on the citrus marmalade favors, to the wrapped oranges used as place cards, to the brightly colored programs and menus that reminded me of citrus flavored popsicles, and the fun banners throughout the space – I loved how everything she created added a fun pop of color and whimsy! 

You can’t have a theme inspired by the French countryside without a nod to French desserts! The SweetSide created macaron towers that were not only striking as centerpieces on our display table but they were super delicious as well!  

I hope you enjoyed our Citrus Countryside at Woodinville Whiskey’s Barrel Loft as much as we enjoyed creating it!!!"

Winter Sunrise - a recount of Weddings in Woodinville from Pink Blossom Events

~ BreeAnn Gale - Pink Blossom Events; Columbia Winery Weddings in Woodinville 2015 Guest Planner and guest blog post ~

"Soon after I was asked to participate in this year's Weddings In Woodinville I awoke one morning to find the most amazing sunrise outside my window and new that I had picked the theme! Growing up I could see the sun coming up out my bedroom window and those cold frosty winter mornings often produced the most vivid sunrises full of pinks, coral and oranges. Every winter I look forward to those mornings as you know that sunrise will bring one memorable day! As I awoke the morning of the show and drove into Woodinville the sunrise proved to be just as incredible as I had hoped it would be that day lending itself to a fantastic show this past January.

Columbia Winery was transformed the day of the show from the bright floral arrangements complete with hues of pink, coral and oranges and snow covered branches and evergreens from Fena Flowers to the linens and furniture from ABC Rentals by Court and Prop Gallery, a Winter Sunrise was born!

As guests entered Columbia Winery they were directed by signage featuring a stunning watercolor sunrise and were led to the Columbia Room. Passing through the foyer guests couldn't help but touch the snow covered table that greeted guests as they were about the enter the room. Once inside a custom guest book canvas complete with a caricature of the bride and groom was featured.

The Columbia Room was split into both a Lounge Area and Reception Area. The Lounge featured jewelry, a Vodka Bar sponsored by New Amsterdam Vodka and a photo booth by Rick + Anna Photography. On the other side of the room the white dance floor became the focal point of the room as a four post structure outlined the dance floor. The dance floor structure featured a snow frosted cedar garland and floral arrangements all supported by birch and snow covered twigs covered bases. Surrounding the dance floor was a dessert bar, reception tables featuring snow filled place settings and rock candy favors as well as a wine bar and buffet by John Howie Catering. Music throughout was provided by Bugsie Productions.

Outside as the sounds of Smooth Groove played, a ceremony was featured underneath the tent. Mirroring the dance floor structure a chuppah inspired structure covered in lush floral, frosted greens, birch branches and sparkly snow covered twigs centered the room. A table for signing the marriage license during the ceremony stood underneath the ceremony structure. Glass cylinders filled with snow and suspended carnation balls added a touch of winter beauty to the ceremony seating.

Guests left Columbia Winery with ideas that would transform their upcoming wedding whether they were marrying in winter or summer."
