Kristin + Jason
Although Kristin and I first 'met' over the phone, I knew from that very first conversation how much fun I would have planning with her, and finance, Jason. We had a little over eighteen months to prepare the dream wedding the two of them envisioned, which most importantly would be a celebration for family and friends.
Kristin's parents had recently made the move east of the mountains, making their home in Manson, Washington. Just beyond scenic Lake Chelan, and filled with all sorts of different venues, and activities for their guests (some of whom would be traveling from as far as England) we knew it was the perfect place to hold their weekend-long celebration.
Thursday night kicked off the party with both a rehearsal and BBQ for their attendants held at Kristin's parents house. Friday we hosted a welcome party as guests made their way into town at Succession Wines. Guests enjoyed a lite dinner and had a chance to catch up as they sipped some of the vineyard's best wines.
And the party did not stop there, if anything it just started the momentum! Both the ceremony and reception were held at the gorgeous Harmony Meadows Tennis & Event Center. Guests were welcomed onsite with glasses of rose, before taking their seats in preparation for the ceremony. Jason and Kristin, along with their closest friends including Jason's children (part of the bridal party) said their I Do’s in the shadow of the Chelan Mountains (talk about spectacular!)
Cocktails on the lawn and dinner from Herban Feast soon followed. Our soft palate of blush, dove grey and green, plus white flowers by Chelan Floral and paper goods by Robinson Creative House, complimented the airy dining room perfectly.
Beyond the traditional toasts, surprises both for the couple (Jason's dad giving a toast from London!) and for the guests (a photo montage for Kristin's dad) brought tears to many. But the tears did not last as we had everyone out on the dance floor - thank you Ethan Anderson! All of which was captured by some of my very favorites from Laura & Tim of Sullivan & Sullivan, and Olivia & Chirstopher of Northmark Films.
It was truly a weekend of fun, guests left smiling as they said their goodbyes to this amazing couple. Congrats Kristin and Jason!
XOXO, Molly
