Waterfront Sequin and Driftwood Seattle Real Wedding

Inspired by the sea, Katie and Nate had the most magnificent wedding at Seattle's World Trade Center. Love, laughter, stunning decor, and waterfront views made it an event to remember. Sequins, air plants, and driftwood were hard for me to picture together at first, but after you see how they were tied together in this wedding, we promise you will adore the combination as much as we do. 

Photographed to dreamy perfection by B. Jones Photography and coordinated flawlessly by Wishes! Wedding Coordination, this wedding embraces a nautical theme in a way we have never seen and won't soon forget. 

CEREMONY

---

Katie and Nate exchanged vows in the same room where their reception would be held later that evening. The Holland America Line Room in the Seattle World Trade Center features floor-to-ceiling windows, providing a sweeping view of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains - the most perfect backdrop to this sweet couple's I Do's. 

RECEPTION

---

From the navy and silver color scheme to the perfectly planned decor details, this reception was jaw-dropping. Guests were greeted by oyster shell place cards with hand-written names scrawled across the insides in navy ink. Blown-glass balls tied with weathered rope and acrylic signs paired with several different kinds of air plants and driftwood adorned the tables, coming together in simple elegance. In addition to their wedding cake, a donut wall kept guests happy all night long!

Nautical Wedding Inspiration Board

One of our favorite trending themes in weddings this year is nautical, and we expect to see some stunning ceremonies and receptions with lavish maritime decor. The sea is a vast and beautiful thing - so it is no wonder brides have been turning to it for inspiration for their big day, with details that will have you swooning. Nautical weddings are known for showcasing navy blues along with stripes, anchors, and rope accents throughout the decorations.

Vintage Cape Cod Styled Wedding Inspiration Shoot

Captured by Luke and Ashley Photography on the shore of the gorgeous York River, this Cape Cod inspired styled wedding shoot gives off a distinctly vintage feel.  The soft palette and old-time feel begged for an intimate area away from the sandy beach and this location, with its scenic view of the river near Yorktown Beach, definitely delivered.  

A soft color palette composed of silver, pink and green compliments this intimately romantic wooded area overlooking the water perfectly.  The furniture looks absolutely stunning and gives an almost nautical feel - parts of the table and display cabinet are painted slightly off-white, and the portions not painted are crafted from a distinctive dark wood.  The bride looks beautiful in her vintage silk slip dress with classic draping at the neck and thin straps.  Go ahead and have a look at the sea of inspiration we have gathered for you today!

Wooden quilting hoops with silver fabric were hung in the surrounding trees to add a handmade touch.  

This hutch features a variety of items including glass bottles, a vintage clock, small bicycle planter, and small display case showcasing more miniature trinkets.  

We absolutely adore this wedding shoot - from the furniture right down to the thoughtfully placed decor pieces.  Whether you are looking for inspiration for a soft color palette or vintage styling, these pretty photos will leave you swooning.
