Timeless Romance: Jackie & Steve's Elegant Wedding
Hey there, my friend! I've got all the heartwarming details about Jackie and Steve's wedding at Chateau Lill in Woodinville. It was an absolute dream come true!
First off, the venue itself was a picture of timeless elegance. Chateau Lill sits on 10 acres of pristine grounds, complete with rolling lawns, ponds, grapevines, and a breathtaking ceremony spot surrounded by towering fir trees. The Chateau had everything you could dream of, from a Barrel Room to a Grand Ballroom with chandeliers and even an open-air tented terrace.
Now, let's talk about the bride and her squad. They started the day in style, wearing ruffled robes and popping champagne while getting ready. The bride had her Cinderella moment in the Chateau's tower room, putting on her stunning gown in front of a massive mirror.
But it wasn't just about the bride; she shared a beautiful first look with her bridesmaids on the terrace, which offered a picturesque view of the Woodinville valley. Her choice of footwear, the Wilson Sandal in Tide Blue, was absolutely on point, and the bridesmaids rocked Quartz Chiffon dresses.
What made the bride even more radiant was the crystal-encrusted veil she wore, which had belonged to her grandmother. Talk about timeless elegance! Her sequin A-line gown, the Myrtus gown by Alena Leena, gave her an ethereal look that left everyone in awe.
And let's not forget about the groom and his groomsmen who looked sharp in classic black tuxes. The color scheme of blush, green, and white set the perfect romantic tone for the day.
A little sprinkle of rain couldn't deter them, and the ceremony took place outdoors as planned. The photo session was a journey through elegance, from the chateau's boutique vineyard to the dock on the pond and in front of the grand chateau with those barrels making for a perfect backdrop. The elegant staircase leading up to the tent was another spot that made for some stunning pictures.
The ceremony itself was nestled between ponds on an evergreen knoll, surrounded by those majestic fir trees. Cocktail hour was a sophisticated affair in the Barrel Room, and the reception, held in an open-air tent, was graced by a gentle rain outside.
Now, let's talk about the sweet treats! The wedding favors were personalized milk chocolates, a delightful surprise for the groom. Live music from the Blue Wave Band had everyone on their feet, dancing the night away under antique brass chandeliers. The couple even cut their cake in a bay window with a peek-a-boo view of their candlelit reception in the tent. And speaking of cake, it was pink champagne with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing – yum! Late-night snacks were a hit with tater tots keeping the dance floor energy high.
The food was a work of art, both visually and in taste. It was a true feast for both the eyes and the palate.
As for the grand exit, well, let's just say Jackie and Steve are Harry Potter fans! During the sparkler photos, the groom kept doing the 'swish and flick' with his sparkler while shouting 'wingardium leviosa.' It added an extra touch of fun and delight to the evening.
And last but not least, their honeymoon plans? Italy! Now, that's the perfect way to start their married life together.
Let's not forget to give a shoutout to all the incredible vendors who made this day possible.
