Hey there

Some weddings feel like a celebration of not just love, but of life itself — filled with vibrant color, personal meaning, and joyful expression at every turn. That was exactly the case for this Harmony Meadows wedding, where every detail was a reflection of the couple’s story: creative, heartfelt, and entirely their own.

Set against the sweeping landscapes of Washington State, this day was nothing short of unforgettable blending lush summer florals, family-crafted elements, and a shared love of brewing into a celebration that was as beautiful as it was deeply personal.

A Wedding Inspired by the Couple’s Brewery

The couple’s shared passion for craft beer inspired many of the most thoughtful details throughout the day. From the start, guests were welcomed with champagne displayed on elegant glass shelves before the ceremony — a festive toast to the moments to come.

During cocktail hour, guests enjoyed curated hors d’oeuvres before gathering for a plated dinner featuring a very special entrée: wild-caught Alaskan salmon, personally fished by the groom and his friends. The couple even brewed a custom beer named after their dog, Barley, a charming nod to their brewery roots.

Perhaps one of the most meaningful details was the escort card display: a stunning wooden structure handcrafted by the groom’s father, featuring floral escort cards and growlers from the couple’s brewery, beautifully honoring their shared passion and family connection.

Lush Florals and Multi-Color Magic at Harmony Meadows

The floral design at this Harmony Meadows wedding was nothing short of show-stopping. Inspired by the gardens at the bride’s family home and the hydrangeas blooming across the venue’s grounds, the floral palette was soft, seasonal, and bursting with color. Dahlias, hydrangeas, and cosmos filled the space with soft, seasonal color, all thoughtfully placed from the ceremony arch to the reception tables, creating a feeling of abundance without ever overwhelming the setting.

The floral arch at the altar, a highlight of the day, moved the bride to tears the first time she saw it. Even the stationery carried personal meaning: the watercolor artwork used throughout the invitation suite was hand painted by the bride’s aunt.

Harmony Meadows: The Perfect Backdrop

Tucked in the heart of Washington’s Methow Valley, Harmony Meadows was the ideal setting for this celebration. With its serene mountain views and graceful white architecture, the venue offered a peaceful canvas for such a colorful and expressive design.

From a garden-inspired ceremony to dinner beneath soft summer skies, the entire day felt effortless and elegant, a seamless blend of rustic charm and refined celebration.

A Night to Remember

As golden hour gave way to evening, guests were welcomed inside for dancing and greeted with chilled espresso martinis to kick off the party. A live band set the tone for the reception, and one of the night’s most memorable moments came when the couple jumped on stage to sing along to Taylor Swift’s Love Story with their guests.

It was joyful. It was personal. It was everything a wedding should be.

This Harmony Meadows wedding was more than a beautiful event, it was a full-hearted celebration of love, family, and the life this couple has created together. A day that honored their story with color, craft, and so much joy.
