Wedding Planning Tips: Schedule a moment to get sunset photos

Our Northwest sunsets can be legendary and is a moment not to be missed during an evening wedding.  Founding board member of Weddings in Woodinville, and named by Junebugweddings.com as one of the "Best Planners in the World”, Jacky Grotle of Event Success, always makes a point to know the time of sunset for her couples and schedules in a moment for them to step away & get some shots together during this fleeting and magical time.

Wedding Planning Tips: Wedding Invitations

Seattle wedding and event planner, Jacky Grotle of Event Success, gives her clients the following advice when it comes to wedding invitations: “your wedding should represent your interests and personality.” 

For example, Event Success’ client Linda & Lee’s custom invitations seen below are the perfect example of how to use this advice and make it tactile. Jacky tries to learn about her clients before proceeding with wedding planning; although the personalized elements are not always immediately apparent, as no two weddings are exactly alike; but upon learning about Lee’s photomicrography of crystals (from such elements as wine), Jacky, knew that she had to include it in their wedding design, somehow.  Event Success and Merchants Paper and Design ended up using Lee’s artwork, titled “Iris”, in the creation of a custom wedding invitation. Upon viewing the sample proof the bride cried tears of joy as she could not believe how lovely and personal her invitation had turned out.  As a surprise, Linda brought home the mock-up and shared a moment with her fiancé that set the tone that their celebration was going to be extraordinary!
