I loved their unique guest book! They had their guests sign a Seattle neighborhood print which they matted and framed for their home.
Their centerpiece flowers came from Pike's Place Market and Taj Downey of Ballard Blossom's did the girls bouquets and ceremony flowers.
One of Terra's family hobbies is knot making. Terra's father hand tied dozens of monkey knuckle knots with awesome gold rope. They served as table number markers and decor throughout the reception.
Ryan Flynn of Ryan Flynn Photography took of all of the pics and I must say he did an Uh-Maz-Ing job!! The couple walked around downtown near their venue and snapped city scape pics.
Let me tell you about these shoes! The ladies got ready at Terra's apartment (Suresh did the girl's hair and make-up) and a fire alarm went off...elevators were shut down and the ceremony was to start shortly...down the stairs the gang went...did I mention they were over 20 floors up?! Luckily that was the most dramatic occurrence of the day:)
Rows and bundles of light pink orchids hung in front of pipe and drape for the ceremony.
Meet the party people!
Top Pot Doughnuts, one of the couples favorite dessert/coffee shops served as a photo opp!
Terra is very close to her grandmother and I LOVE this photo of their hands! One of my favorite parts of the wedding is when Terra's grandmother and her new husband had their first dance as a married couple after Terra and Amyn had their first dance. Did I mention they are nearly 90 nears old and boogied to reggae?! It was awesome!!
Pre ceremony sneak almost peak! 
DJ Kuhnex of Goat House Production's kept the dance floor packed! 
Terra and Amyn were such a pleasure to work with!! They were so happy and light hearted and that really shined on their wedding day! 
It isn't often the groom's shoes get a shout out. I totally dig Matt's shoes - shout out!!
Marigold and Mint also placed the flowers on six delicious cakes baked by Rosellini Sweets. Christy, originally from New Mexico, also lived and worked in New Orleans for a few years before moving to Seattle. She brought traditional desserts from both regions, biscochio cookies from NM and a pull cake that all of the girls participated from NOLA. 
The rings...brilliant!! All three rings were designed at Seattle Diamonds.
The details...Entertainment...Contrast Music, a fab string quartet, provided the ceremony music. And Oncore, one the best cover bands in Seattle rocked the reception. The dance floor was packed!
And lastly hair and make-up was done by Salon Maison.
The words used to describe the below board were a mix of modern and vintage Montana. I think she nailed it!
For my own wedding I'm creating inspiration boards for my photographer, my florist and my hair stylist to get them in tune to my inspiration! Happy planning!
The bride, a fab designer, created their own invites, programs, menus and more. When walking through the front doors at SODO Park there was a ~ 8' X 15' faux store front that Kate & Elliot hand painted to welcome guests to their Wedding Haberdashery.
The white chocolate & golden raspberry cake is from TM Dessert Works in Ballard. And yes, that is a giraffe and cat cake topper! The couple also had super yummy cookies, cakes and cupcakes from Simply Desserts in Fremont.
The couple ordered over 100 apothecary jars of different shapes and sizes. They made many of them into mini atriums filled with dahlias, moss and succulents. After the wedding K&E planted the succulents at their yard!
Other jars were filled with craftiness such as vintage spools, buttons, scissors, clothes pins, ribbon, measuring tape, etc. It gave the their long tables a vintage, haberdashery feel.
Their photographer, Win from LifeBox Studios did an amazing job moving them about all of the nooks and crannies that SODO Park has to offer. A little October rain didn't keep K&E indoors!
A major hit of the reception was the photobooth from 321Photo! The couple put together an eclectic 'prop bar' which let guests to dress up & get creative! It definitely made their photo collection one to remember.
The Horah is always one of my favorite parts of a Jewish Ceremony. Try not to laugh and have fun during this part of the reception, I dare you! Plus it is a great way to get the entire group on the dance floor ready to help you celebrate! DJ Ollie with Gen X Pro kept the guests on the dance floor from beginning to end!
One of my favorite florists, Kimberly Neff with Lilies & Lemon Drops incorporated deep purples, plums and magenta into her gorgeous bouquets. Kate and her bridesmaids made a trip to Pike's Place Market for their centerpiece flowers the day before the wedding. 
The couple hosted a family style lunch served by the always decadent, Herban Feast. They also chose bride & groom 'old time' feeling signature cocktails, a French 75 and a Spiked Arnold.
Bride Kate wore an amazing Jenny Packham dress! Loved it! Groom Elliot, wore a dapper suit with purple shoes:)
This couple proved that having a Sunday afternoon wedding doesn't mean you have a to have a formal low key event. This was one of the most rock'n parties that I've been too! They spent their engagement thinking about the details that would add to their overall aesthetic and guests experience. The result was UHmazing! 
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of those who donated their time, goods and $$ to such a great cause! Feel good about yourselves, you rock! And if you want to read more about the event or see more pictures check out our recap page!
What would Halloween be without yummy treats!? We did witches brew mimosas made with prosecco with a oh too perfect orange label and straight up OJ for the expecting mommies. Dishes like a cheesy strata and a chicken, spinach, mandarin orange salad were a perfect combo for a late brunch. Especially when you top it all off with a peanut butter cupcake for dessert!
It is a baby shower...we have to get a little corny right? The chair says 'Mummy To Be'...bwah haha!
And because Sarah is the most prepared person with a thank you I had to showcase her shower gift. How cute is that stork? She drew and colored it herself....ah, love her!!
Like the close ups? Shanelle of Pacific Artistry did on site hair and make-up for Christie and her bridesmaids. 
Who could say no to that face?!
Step 3 to Fun - Save $$! The couple was able to save pennys left and right by doing things themselves and having friends and family assist them when possible! A few examples you could do yourself are 1) They had their close friend officiate the ceremony and MC the reception. 2) Christie had a craft party where many of the decorations were put together in a cost effective manner. Bonus, she has sold many of them to a future bride! 3) The couple sent out their Save the Dates via email directing guests to their website and had a close friend do the rest of their paper design. You can find other tips throughout the blog on ways to save money as well!An awesome picture on Greenwood Avenue outside of Urban Light Studios! It shows off Christie's gorgeous dress she purchased on Ebay which was an unworn gem from JCrew!
I hope you liked the 3 Steps-o-Fun and the enjoyed the loverly images from Christie & JJ's wedding!!

Playing up their vintage digs Adam & Melissa took some retro pics in the Presidential Suite where Teddy Roosevelt once stayed at the Hotel de Haro.
A little bocce anyone? The couple meandered around the grounds of the resort taking charming action shots like the ones below.
A fun wedding feature was that the pair used all of the spaces that Roche Harbor had to offer. The ceremony was in the sunken garden, the cocktail hour was in the courtyard, the reception was in a faboosh white tent by the shore and an after hours party was held in the main hall. 
Melissa and her father danced to Sweet Melissa by the Allman Brothers and later on guests boogied into the night dancing to the rock'n band, Oncore.
I’m Megan Clark, owner of Clutch Events – thanks for stopping by my website! I have a hankering for planning the perfect party. I just can’t help it, I always have! I love a shindig with a controlled chaos where everyone can just have a great time and the evening flows seamlessly!
