Summer Courtyard Wedding In West Seattle

March 5, 2020 Alyssa Ayala

In the picturesque setting of The Hall at Fauntleroy in West Seattle, the lush grass lawn served as the perfect canvas for the outdoor wedding ceremony. The honey wood chairs, with their natural warm tones, were arranged in an orchestra style, gently curved towards the ceremony front, ensuring that every guest had an unobstructed view of the proceedings.

The outdoor courtyard reception welcomed guests with a sense of warmth and elegance. Rectangular reception tables and high cocktail tables were strategically placed, providing spaces for guests to gather and celebrate. Adorned with all-white table settings, the tables’ focal points were the vibrant, colorful centerpieces. Mustard, cream, and pink hues added the essence of spring and romanticism.

The combination of the natural wood tones from the chairs with the flowers’ warm mustard and ivory hues created a visually stunning, fresh, and harmonious palette. The result was a celebration that felt relaxed and undeniably romantic, making everyone who attended forget that they were in Seattle, and instead felt as if they were dining in a European villa.

November 25, 2017 Alyssa Ayala

In the serene gardens of The Dumbarton House in Washington, DC, Ola and Emily chose a classic black and white theme for their one-year vow renewal. The couple exuded sophistication with Ola dressed in a sharp black tuxedo and Emily in a romantic, ivory, tulle ballgown.

Tables were elegantly set on the terrace with textured white linen from La Tavola Linen, complemented by white hemstitch napkins and pristine white china.
