This guide should feel like
it belongs here.

Pacific Northwest celebrations can move easily between gardens, forests, vineyards, industrial spaces and city rooms.

SEASON: For outdoor plans, make the weather backup feel like a real second choice—not a punishment.

PLANNING: Think about guest movement, rain cover and travel time when the ceremony and reception are in different parts of the metro.

01
THE BIG IDEA

Start with the feeling

Write down three words you want guests to use when they describe your wedding. Use those words as a filter before falling in love with a floor plan.
