Ethereal Grace Emanates from Al Fresco Wedding Day at Bella Luna Farms

High in the snowy mountains of Whistler, British Columbia, Jenna Hoover’s and Grant Rico’s eyes first met on New Year’s Day. Two Washington natives crossing paths during separate trips to see friends—it was the kind of cosmic timing that writes its own script. On a sweet summer day, they hosted an alfresco wedding with décor that celebrated the natural surroundings at Bella Luna Farms. They designed the event as a love letter to the Pacific Northwest and highlighted their shared passions for food and the great outdoors. Once it was finished, guests meandered from the ceremony, held at the tranquil duck pond, to the glass Grape House for cocktails. That was followed by dinner under a billowing tent on the South Lawn and nonstop dancing in the A-frame barn. Elegant shades of green and white highlighted the venue’s splendor, while local products—such as Hood Canal oysters and Washington wines—continued to weave the newlyweds’ story through the day. Grant’s culinary expertise was evident in the thoughtfully crafted menu, which featured garden-fresh ingredients and recipe cards of the first dish he ever made for his wife. Jenna’s bridal look reflected her history as a ballet dancer, with a gown that exuded ethereal grace. Her bouquet contained her mother’s wedding crystal, while a sapphire ring belonging to her grandmother served as her “something blue.” The fun-loving couple’s favorite moment was letting loose with their bridal party before the ceremony, with music blasting, shaking off the jitters for pure joy. The couple advises others to “pause, breathe and take it all in. Trust your team to make the magic happen.” And magic it was.
