Succulent Savvy at Willows Lodge by Jennifer Taylor of Taylor'd Events by Jennifer

Willows Lodge is located on five landscaped acres beautifully landscaped to live in harmony with the environment bordering the Sammamish River in the heart of Western Washington’s wine country. It is a haven for comfortable while luxurious, warm and inviting, Northwest destination that Jennifer Taylor of Taylor'd Events by Jennifer emphasized upon during Weddings in Woodinville.  Her theme showcased the decor and spectacular gardens by making the most of multiple colors such as lavender, light green and copper which accented the woodland feel of the Lodge.   Succulents were integrated into every aspect of a wedding from bouquets to decor.

Here are a few highlights taken by Laura Marchbanks Photography of the event:

Matthews strives to produce wines that show the incredible diversity of Washington State. From our classic Cabernet Sauvignon driven reds, to our revered Sauvignon Blanc.

Columbia Valley Claret

The Claret for Matthews has always filled the traditional role of a second selection wine in a winery with a flagship blend. The Claret is traditionally focused more on elegance than on structure, like the Red Wine. The Claret has always been a tremendous value for our customers. Showing clean ripe fruit and a much more modest oak program, the Matthews Claret leads a segment of value driven every day wines.

Columbia Valley Red Wine

Every winery has a flagship wine, and at Matthews this is it. Made almost always of the five traditional Bordeaux varietals, the Red Wine has consistently been the insiders standard for Cabernet Sauvignon based blends in Washington. The goal has always been to produce the best possible wine in every vintage, believing that the blend will always create the most complete wine. There have been vintages in which the Red Wine didn't exist- only because those vintages did not meet our rigorous standards.

Dusted Valley was founded on the notion that when family pulls together the American Dream can turn into a living reality.  They describe themselves as a proud bunch of farm-raised Wisconsin Cheese-Heads.  And what goes well with cheese??? It's all about the wine.

Dusted Valley came about after many inspiring experiences with wine, wonderful food, and of course incredible friends and family. When Chad and Corey decided to begin making wine, they pledged to do it right and thus began the quest for the best fruit and vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and beyond. The families moved to Walla Walla in 2003, and today the family is producing some spectacular wines from its 4,000 case operation.  They have become vineyard focused and farm nearly 100 acres of vineyard in Walla Walla.  In addition, they have begun a unique barrel project with the use of extra-tight-grained Wisconsin Oak harvested from lands they grew up around!

Destiny Wedding DJ prides themselves on having experienced and professional DJs. They understand that each event is unique and as such, match their clients with the appropriate DJ for them. Each of their clients has the opportunity to meet with their DJ’s face to face before your event, making sure that it’s the right fit. When nothing but the best will do, choose Destiny!

Kevin Bradford has an exquisite vision for event and floral design. His unique background in interiors combined with his experience as a caterer give him an exclusive perspective that he shares with his clients. Every detail for every event Kevin takes on is attended to with focus and beautiful artistry. His combinations and color palettes are original and breathtaking, from deep plums with chocolate to icy pink, reds and cocoa.

His florals are texturally perfect and range from simple elegant to rich brocades that might include the velvety softness of cockscomb combined with the dutch crispness of perfect miniature calla lilies, rich roses and dinner plate dahlias. Finish that off with dripping hops, amaranth and pomegranates, figs or clusters of grapes and you can imagine the lushness.

Kevin has an inventory of linens and silks for draping as well as gorgeous iron stands, Russian Candelabra, market umbrellas in an assortment of colors and hurricane lamps in various sizes. He can create a dramatic chuppah that will make your guests swoon as they walk into the room. His personal touch goes into every event. He hand decorates the cakes, ties gorgeous silk ribbons on bouquets, pins on the boutonnieres. His installation is seamless and flawless.

As a long-time student and collector of umbrellas, Seattle's Jodell Egbert's vintage collections were the nucleus around which she began Bella Umbrella. Her venture is now the largest source of vintage and vintage styled umbrellas in the world.

As a soon to be bride and floral designer, Jodell wanted to do something distinctive instead of renting a traditional white tent for her outdoor wedding ceremony. She procured 75 vintage umbrellas for her guests in the event there were showers on her wedding day. Each guest would be offered a beautiful umbrella from the 1920' s-1940. Later the umbrellas would create a brilliant backdrop to the happy day. It was the beginning of a beautiful marriage in more ways than one. Continuing to collect umbrellas, Jodell launched the Bella Umbrella website in 2001.

Her personal collection of 100 vintage umbrellas was now available for rent to brides all over the world. Since then Jodell has designed and developed two unique umbrella collections; Vintage Bella and Signature Bella as well as inventing and patenting the Bixi; an adaptor that quickly converts a Signature Bella umbrella handle into a stunning bouquet holder.

Novelty Hill/Januik Winery & Vendors

Novelty Hill • Januik Winery

Novelty Hill • Januik Winery – is two wineries under one winemaker, Mike Januik.  He is known as “Master of Merlot” by Wine Enthusiast Magazine and was at Ste Michelle for many years and left that to start his own winery in 1999.  So I was very excited to see the winery open and then to find out they were going to open it up for weddings, I was thrilled.  In 2008 both the AIA and the International Interior Design Association honored the winery’s interior architecture with prestigious awards.  As you see in the pictures it is a contemporary/modern space.

Here is what they say about themselves – “Novelty Hill • Januik Winery is an ideal location for a contemporary, intimate wedding celebration. From casual to elegant, our staff specializes in creating rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions that reflect the unique personality of each bride and groom.”

The food is another unforgettable experience, Chef Dan Koommoo is dedicated to fresh cuisine from sustainable resources, including organic fruits and vegetables from nearby Oxbow Farm, designed to complement Novelty Hill’s and Januik’s award-winning wines.  The menus are changed seasonally to reflect what is available and custom menus are available for your special day.  Speaking with experience this is the case, the staff truly loves to see the couple have an unforgettable experience and become a part of the Novelty Hill • Januik Winery family.

They are open daily from 11am to 5pm for wine tasting and on the weekends they do have brick oven working overtime with fabulous homemade pizzas.  So stop by for a glass of wine or two and a pizza and take a look around.  If it is nice outside the bocce balls will be ready.

L & M Chair Covers – Make a small change to make a lasting impression

 

Our company idea was created summer of 2003 when we had to plan our 425+ persons wedding at a well-known wedding facility in Seattle…but they had PINK stacking chairs and it definitely clashed with our orange/peach color theme. So we came up with a solution by renting white chair covers and matching white organza sashes for our special day. We started looking into it more seriously, and after much research looking on the web and calling around, we found only a few places that did linen rentals in Washington and some online companies from clear across the USA. The prices were not affordable. We resorted to ordering our chair covers from Vancouver, B.C. at half the price but had to drive 3 hours each way to pick-them up and return them…but we were willing to do whatever it took to make our day look like how we envisioned it.

Chair covers make a world of difference at your wedding or any other event. The extra costs are worth it because you will look back at your pictures and see how beautiful the chair covers made your place look. We can tell you from our experience that this was something that was definitely worth the time and money to do…especially on our once in a lifetime day…

In Summer of 2004, we decided to put that vision into reality and wanted to make it easier for anyone that was planning an event to be able to rent good quality and affordable chair covers in the Greater Northwest, thus the creation of: l & m chair covers.

We look forward to making your next event…more beautiful with our chair covers.

Kelly and Rylee love what they do.  This is their belief…”I have the privilege of taking part in the significant moments of life.  Every bride is beautiful and deserves to see that truth reflected in her photos.   The passionate love that a husband has for his bride, shown in the way his hand falls across the small of her back or the stolen glance from across the room is a treasure to be captured.  Each wedding reveals the personality, character and taste of the couple, unique to them alone.  It is my goal to preserve each detail, decision and emotion that forms Your Day.”
