Rustic Wedding – Seattle Wedding Photos Part 2
Annnnnd we’re back with more fall wedding inspiration all up in your face. Part one was so pretty, non? Ashley is one pretty bride, isn’t she. And her barrel dessert table is an incredible idea that all you fall brides should steal. Really cool. Once again we have Tonhya Kae to thank for this photographic perfection. Love the detailed shots. Love the black and white shots. AND YOU KNOW I love the dancing shots. Thank you Tonhya! And here’s Ashley with more from her day:
I made all the labels and CAKE signage as well. Chris, the invitation lady, was nice enough to give me the fonts she used for the invitations so I could use them for the programs so I used the same fonts for all the labels then we bought an “Autumn” paper book from Michaels and all the bridesmaids sat down and pasted all the labels to the pretty paper. It was so easy and it added just the right detail to the cake table and beverage bar. Shans sister, Chelsea, put together a picture collage of Shan and I from the time we were babies to our engagement pictures. The display she put together was amazing and my parents told me the pictures brought tears to their eyes. Chelsea did such a great job!
After the wedding we were talking to my dad and he had a great comment. He said he had so much at the wedding that it felt “magical”. All we wanted for our day was for everyone to have a good time! I think we succeeded; Shan and I had an amazing time! We were literally gitty to share our day with our guests and just let loose after all the planning and setting up for the day. The whole day Shan and I both could not wait for the ceremony to be over, I know that sounds bad but neither of us does well in front of large crowds of people. Our ceremony was about twenty minutes long and then it was time to let loose! Our close friends, Ken and M’liss Bierlink graciously volunteered to bartend for us and they had two open beers ready for us after the ceremony! It was awesome! Probably our favorite part of the evening was when Ken brought out his humidor full of amazing cigars! He even had “ladies cigars” in his huge selection. We still have people talking about the amazing cigars at the “cigar bar” at the wedding. It was an awesome surprise and we had so much fun passing around different flavored cigars, they also made for great props in the photobooth. All in all, we can seriously say that our wedding went off without a hitch. The goal of the day was to celebrate our love with our closest family and great friends and for everyone to just have a great time…We succeeded with all the help we had along the way!

It is a very nice wedding with lots of great details and the bride and groom and their guests look like they had an AWESOME time. I love weddings like that – they show that no matter what you do for the details, what really is important is to have the best time of your life!
Gorgeous!
The bride is a knockout in that dress! And so creative with all her diy projects. What an incredibly beautiful event!
Love the B&W
