Working in harmony with the natural materials such as concrete, glass and wood that make up Novelty Hill-Januik, Kirstie Warren of Simply Wed, created a Vintage-Mod environment that perfectly complemented the structures inviting atmosphere.  Punches of bright Poppy, Aqua and Marigold, filled the spaces within with such a welcoming, fun, feeling that one could not help but be pulled into the feeling of pure joy that every bride wishes for her guests to share in.

Columbia Winery
Theme Décor/Planner: Merry Beth Turpin, Aisle of View – aisleofview.com

Join us at the Columbia Winery as we transform this winery into a winter wonderland. Think in terms of snowy, icy, crystal clear and cold. Winter weddings are like fire and ice - the decor is shimmery and icy while the ambience is warm and inviting. Today, relax and enjoy tasty treats from our caterers, listen to the music of a fabulous band, revel in the beauty of the decor, let your eyes feast on the beautiful attire and treat yourself to a piece of cake. Allow yourself some time just to sit in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and talk to other brides about your wedding.

DeLille Cellars

Theme Décor/Planner: Jacky Grotle, Event Success – nweventsuccess.com

When designing the theme for DeLille Cellars, we wanted to create a feel of elegance and richness… a little bit sexy but certainly deep with texture —Voila... Evening Passion! It’s a very French feel, and we all know that the French are notorious for decadence, beauty and glamour!

Incorporating a French theme when planning a wedding is a fantastic way to convey the romance and love the bride and groom wish to share with their guests. A traditional French wedding ceremony includes bright and regal colors like royal blues, purples and reds. Topped off with a string quartet playing classic French music and you’ve created an ambience unlike any other! It’s rich with romantic elements that enhance the beauty of any wedding regardless of the home country of the bride and groom.

 

JM Cellars

Theme Décor/Planner: Melody Davis, MG Davis Events – mgdavisevents.com

Our vision for JM Cellars this year is to create a luxe, sophisticated and dreamy wedding which relates to the winery in a soulful and inviting manner. To achieve this we have combined old as well as new elements to create a fresh and fashionable feel.  For decoration, Scarlet Blooms uses a color palette in shades of gold, slate, creamy white and metallic tones, creating a warm and romantic setting. The interior spaces of the winery feature a formal look with elegant centerpieces, luxurious linen and a table showcasing beautiful found objects which truly command a revival. The outdoor areas illustrate the ability to host an elegant wedding while having a fun party atmosphere beneath the glow of festival lights. To compliment the casual nature of the winery, we give nod to the Indie DIY movement by adding hand crafted touches which create a warm and meaningful setting for guests.

 

Novelty Hill • Januik Winery

Theme Décor/Planner: Kirstie Warren, Simply Wed – simplywed.com

The design theme for Novelty Hill-Januik Winery is titled “Whimsy & Wit,” and shows everyone that you can have a little fun when planning and designing your wedding! Vintage-Mod touches are showcased along with details that can be created yourself for that personal touch. The mixing and matching of patterns and found items showcase the very definition of thinking outside the “wedding box”. The use of bright and punchy colors such as Poppy, Aqua and Marigold makes this design one that will bring joy to any celebration!

 

Russell’s – The Barn

Theme Décor/Planner: Stephanie Wilson, Every Last Detail – ELDWeddings.net

Escape to the natural and relaxing setting of Russell’s Barn!

Downstairs at Russell’s, Stephanie and Anna’s Flowers worked with the colors and elements of the space and used different tones of ivory, bronze and plum. This creates a lush setting which is appropriately named “Northwest Elegance”. You will walk into a rustic and cozy atmosphere complete with exposed wood beams and soft and romantic floral and linens.

The Loft at Russell’s is a dramatic and spacious setting which beautifully accommodates large décor. PJ Hummel and Co. will delight you with their design and decor for The Loft. PJ’s glistening winter design is very versatile and well-suited for weddings from November through March. The Loft has a great structural design. PJ’s glittering bare branch trees work brilliantly with the unpainted setting and sparkle with the color of led lighting. It is an experience that is difficult to convey in pictures and we are excited to share the magic in person!

Emily Pollock, Events Director for Novelty Hill Januik Winery

Emily Pollack of Novelty Hill Januik WineryAs a Seattle native with more than ten years experience in hospitality, event planning and venue management my journey actually began with an IT-focused business degree from Western Washington University. Not surprisingly, after a short stint in the banquet department at the Westin Seattle my aptitude for event management quickly became apparent and, needless to say, I’ve been hooked ever since! Over the years I have organized all types of events, from small rehearsal dinners to corporate blowouts for more than 4000, but my true passion has always been weddings. There is a feeling of accomplishment that comes with watching a bride walk down the aisle toward the wedding of her dreams that I just can’t resist, and the desire to exceed expectations in every detail fuels my inspiration from one wedding to the next. As the Events Director for Novelty Hill • Januik Winery I have had the privilege of developing our spectacular venue into a premier location for intimate wedding celebrations, combining modern trends with traditional elements and a touch of local flair. In addition to Weddings in Woodinville I am proud to be a founding member of Wedding Network USA, Seattle Chapter, and I look forward to being a part of our long-term growth and continued success in Western Washington.

Matthews Estate

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 Winery

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!

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.

Shortly there after, I had the opportunity to be the creative force behind a new flower shop in Vancouver Washington, where I started designing for large scale weddings and events.  Life led me to Seattle where I found work at the Floral Design Institute assisting and teaching.
