Becca Manning and Chris Lockett’s journey to the aisle was nothing short of an adventure. As they set out to plan their dream wedding, their focus was clear: to create an “elevated earthy” experience that honored their guests (95% of whom traveled to the Seattle area) and showcased the city’s natural beauty in September. The couple’s love for the outdoors significantly influenced their wedding plans. They chose their venue for its lush greenery, private ambiance and picturesque stream running behind the house. “I wanted the wedding décor to feel timeless with a twist. I tried to weave our theme into everything: the flowers, table décor, invitations, our wedding party, the cake and beyond," Becca explained. The color palette of greens, cream, light pink and burnt orange, along with the garden-esque floral arrangements, created a dreamy atmosphere. Flowers appeared to grow naturally from the forest floor. "My favorite design element was by far my bridesmaid's dresses. The mixed matched combination really worked out!" said the bride. As attendees entered the ceremony, they were greeted with welcome drinks adorned with flower petals, setting the tone for a magical day. Following the ceremony, friends and family enjoyed a curated dinner menu served at softly colored tablescapes, which featured low arrangements and tall candles. Becca and Chris shared words of wisdom that may ring true to other laid-back couples: “We didn’t want the wedding to feel fussy or too formal. We recommended guests wear shoes they could thrive in! We wanted the day to be memorable and fun for all.”
For their nuptials, Becca and Chris showcased their love of the outdoors at an expansive, picturesque venue.
