Dawn and Ben’s Romantic Wedding at Roche Harbor on San Juan Island
I am so excited to share these images of Dawn and Ben’s beautiful wedding at Roche Harbor Resort this past September. Their wedding was one of our favorites this season with an absolutely beautiful couple inside and out, at a gorgeous location, and with the perfect vendor line-up!

Dawn hired us for our Signature Flora Nova package and we had a blast designing all the many details for their wedding day in coordination with the ever so amazing Jen of Taylor’d Events. From floor plan to chairs and linens, floral choices, lighting, color palette, table top elements – we planned and designed so many fun details. Dawn was a true pleasure to work with.
Dawn’s bridal bouquet as well as the bouquets for her bride’s maids contained a lovely mix of lush white garden blooms and fall foliage and textures. It was perfect for an early fall wedding.

The Outdoor Ceremony
For the couple’s wedding ceremony in the gorgeously landscaped gardens of the resort we decided on an all neutral color palette of whites, creams, and greens. We designed a grand round arch covered in white roses and lined the aisle with floral and lanterns.

A Romantic Fall Reception
Contrary to the all neutral color palette for the ceremony, for the dinner reception we introduced a fun fall color palette of rust, blush, peach, cream, and greens. Those rich colors just popped on the navy and French blue linens. For that special glow on the dinner tables we added lots of gold accents throughout: gold rimmed charger plates, gold rimmed goblets, gold mercury votive candles, gold vases, gold flatware. Furthermore, we decorated the ballroom ceiling in lots of greenery and installed specialty crystal chandeliers above the long head table for a touch of glam.
