Luxurious Garden Wedding at Private Coastal Home in Medina

When lovebirds Joey and Phillip came to the decision to make the big move from Texas to the bride’s home state of Washington, they solidified their intentions to spend the rest of their lives with one another. The inspiration behind their wedding was clear from the start: a lush, garden-themed event blending the sophistication of fine dining with the natural brilliance of the outdoors. As the sun radiated light through the late-summer sky, Joey donned a sleek gown rich in modern details, including side cutouts, to complement her “Old Hollywood” hairstyle. The bride traversed the alfresco petal- and plant-decorated aisle to the altar platform and her beloved, who awaited her, sporting a sophisticatedly moody, deep plum tuxedo. The pair said “I do” amid a sea of greens and whites in the luxurious garden atmosphere they’d imagined. Following the ceremony, the multilevel venue was alive with guests, who were sampling scrumptious cheeses and meats from an ample charcuterie board and mingling with friends, old and new. The illumination from fairy lights and tea candles danced in the reception tent, creating a warm atmosphere. The tables were covered by runners or full-size linens and decorated with low, all-white floral arrangements interspersed with tapered votives. A pair of foliage-embellished chandeliers hung suspended above the dance floor. The effervescent vibe of the day, created by the couple’s impeccable taste and the loving support of family that carried through the evening, kept bubbling with the heartfelt speeches, spirited dancing and late-night bites of cake.
