Maggie + Matthew
North Carolina met Tacoma at the beautiful MV Skansonia when Maggie and Matt's wedding brought all their friends and family together on one boat to celebrate them! It was such a special day with the kindest, funnest couple and even a little drizzle couldn't bring anyone down.
The evening kicked off with the ceremony on the deck, overlooking Lake Union. Officiant Cherise Klosner of Another One Ties a Knot seamlessly painted a picture of M+M's love story along the years. The boat's bell echoed throughout the sound after they kissed and we were off to cocktail hour!
Inside's reception space was a dream; green accents complimenting the beautiful white florals with fall foliage arranged by Leah Erickson Floral. Safe to assume that M+M's favorite color is green! The various tones and textures of the color were a special touch throughout the space; simple yet elegant.
Guests were greeted with tray passed apps along with his and hers Palomas and French 75s- something for everyone! Herban Feast took care of everything from the delicious Goat Cheese Canapes and Vegan Spring Roll appetizers to the Braised Beef Short Ribs and Sicillian Chicken entrees that our groom was especially excited about.
Another treat for everyone was the gorgeous cake by Lady Grey Seattle- it was almost too beautiful to eat. Pistachio cake with whipped cream cheese and raspberry sauce and an Apple Spice cake with brown butter frosting and blackberry preserves; exactly what this crisp fall wedding called for.
M+M's first dance was one of my favorite parts of the evening! The boat's doors were wide open as they danced. Matt twirled Maggie and the lake sparkled behind her- it was truly magical. The icing on the top was Mitski's My Love All Mine being their song.
Maggie and Matt- being in the presence of your love was incredibly special. I just know you two have a beautiful, joyful future ahead full of light and laughter. I am so honored to have been a part of the journey!
XOXO, Saira
