Brittany and Dustin met on Bumble — a swipe that, finally, made everything click. Their wedding day at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington was all about clarity — clean lines, elevated comfort and rich autumn tones that displayed themselves in new, unexpected ways. The bride chose copper and navy as their design anchors, layering in creams and neutrals to soften the look and warm up the modern hotel setting. Cream pumpkins with copper shimmer sat alongside clean navy linens, bringing texture and seasonality without going rustic. The chop on the lake, paired with the surrounding park’s changing trees, turned the entire venue into a built-in backdrop.

The ceremony itself was short and heartfelt — the officiant included playful nods to the couple’s opposing football teams. But before the formalities began, Brittany and Dustin shared private vows, a quiet moment that let them sink into the emotion of the day. It also freed up time for golden-hour portraits and an uninterrupted cocktail hour with their guests — a non-negotiable for the newlyweds. Floral design struck a balance between soft and sculptural. The bride shifted from her original vision of bright fall tones to a more subdued mix of blush, peach, ivory and cream, with textural blue thistle woven in at the last minute for contrast.

For couples currently planning, their advice is simple: do what feels natural, structure the day around connection and don’t be afraid to make changes late in the game if your gut says it’s right.
