Lisa and Michael’s summer wedding will be a breathtakingly romantic celebration. The ceremony will take place at the historic Thornewood Castle in Lakewood, Washington—a venue rich in charm and elegance. The castle, built using bricks from a dismantled 15th-century English manor, provides the perfect fairy-tale setting for Lisa’s dream of an outdoor wedding, where she can truly feel like a princess.

The ceremony decor will feature an open arch draped in flowing purple fabric and adorned with artificial wisteria garlands, creating a soft, ethereal ambiance. Elegant floral arrangements will accent both corners of the arch, while painted baby’s breath and delicate purple petals will line the aisle. A harpist will provide enchanting live music, setting a romantic tone for the heartfelt vows Lisa and Michael will exchange before sealing their union with wedding rings.

For dessert, the couple has chosen an earl grey chestnut cake with cream cheese frosting, delicately accented with fresh flowers. Later in the evening, guests will have the chance to create their own custom bags of popcorn sweet and personal touch inspired by the couple’s favorite treat.

Lisa and Michael’s chosen wedding palette—lavender, pale blue, beige, and sage—will set the scene for an elegant and intimate celebration. Reception tables will feature floating candles and lush floral centerpieces, while candlelight throughout the tent will enhance the romantic ambiance.

Music holds a special place in Lisa and Michael’s love story, as they first met at Lisa’s sister’s birthday party. To honor this, their ceremony and reception will feature meaningful songs from their relationship. A DJ will provide entertainment, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout the evening.

The cocktail hour will include a selection of the couple’s favorite appetizers, such as shrimp cocktail, fresh papaya and pineapple, and quinoa tabbouleh. For dinner, guests will enjoy a plated meal featuring dishes like lamb picanha, chicken legs, and bottom sirloin.

As the night draws to a close, guests will send the couple off with a magical sparkler, creating a picture-perfect ending to an unforgettable evening.
