The rest of the evening was all about comfort and fun. It was incredibly powerful to have our guests witness us in such a raw and vulnerable moment. Our vows were embarrassingly 'us' we fumbled over ourselves and our tears, and clung to eachother's hands until we reached 'I do.' Erik surprised me at the end of his vows with a whispered promise. Both our officiant and our processional violinist were dear friends. We wanted everyone to feel captured by the warm suspense as our vows took place. The ceremony took place in the bottom level of the venue Its low ceilings, aged beams and original 18th century cobblestone floor created an intimate setting for the nearly 200 guests. Warm, welcoming and down to earth was our goal. The only pop of color to compete with the aged timber came from the whimsy of strand lights entangled in decorative branches, and the maroon ties worn by the groom and groomsmen. To emphasize the warm look of exposed beams in the 100+ year old Crockett Farm venue, we kept our wedding palette clean - the steel grey dinner linens added warm and gentle depth to the venue's white furniture, bridesmaids were in mismatched embellished blush, and all of the florals remained white. Its proximity to Seattle allowed our guests to curate their own experience - whether they wanted a long relaxing weekend common to a 'destination' wedding, or a quick jaunt from Seattle. Whidbey Island was our oasis - it charmed us with its humbling balance of farm country and beach town vibes. A place where we could get outside, slow down, and laugh with friends and family. "Finding an oasis from the Seattle hustle is what Erik and I wanted for our wedding.
The ceremony design was lit up firefly lighting, adding a romantic ambiance to the space, and the gorgeous reception showcased greenery and beauty galore, providing the perfect space for the newlyweds to celebrate with their guests.
The big day featured a subdued color palette of creams and greys to highlight the natural beauty of the historic venue. Jes and Erik tied the knot during a beautiful autumn wedding affair at Crockett Farm.
