Jessica + Matthew's Timeless Garden Wedding

Jessica and Matthew wanted a simple and elegant wedding that was still fun and whimsical, true to who they are. From the team, "Inspired by the secret garden, we imagined wild summer foliage, a white tent, farm tables, bright white garden roses, and crisp linens."

Originally planted in 1915, Dunn Gardens is a privately owned estate nestled in the Broadview neighborhood of Seattle. This historic garden is known for its naturalistic groupings of trees, broad lawns, woodland walks, and expansive view of Puget Sound. This made for the perfect hideaway in the city for Jessica and Matthew's timeless wedding.

Each aspect of their event was held in a different location of the garden, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of their natural surroundings. The ceremony took place on the former tennis lawn underneath 100 year old fir trees.

Captured beautifully by Michele Equitz, you're not going to want to miss this beautiful, garden wedding with planning, design and florals by juliet + lou.

More from the team, "We dressed the altar with wispy greenery and lined the back row of the vineyard chairs with wild, mixed foliage. Guests entered and exited the ceremony down woodland paths with white painted signs directing them."

"Two of our favorite details of the day were the ring bearer's and flower girl's attire: the little lady in a white linen dress with ribbon bows in her hair and the dapper boy in a true-blue suit jacket with matching blue shorts complemented by mid-calf pattered socks. Second to Jess and Matt, these two stole the show."
