A Picturesque Venue: Fox Hollow Farm in Seattle

Nestled in the Sammamish Valley, Fox Hollow Farm is one of Seattle’s most enchanting wedding venues. With its sprawling lawns, manicured hedges, and charming estate-style architecture, it sets the stage for an unforgettable celebration. Caitlyn and Craig took full advantage of the property’s natural beauty, hosting a ceremony and reception that felt both elevated and welcoming.

Ceremony & Vows

With their closest family and friends gathered, they exchanged vows beneath lush greenery and a soft canopy of blooms. The ceremony florals were designed in romantic pastel tones, with delicate whites, blushes, and soft blues spilling down the aisle and framing the altar space. The flowers added just the right touch of whimsy to the already serene garden setting of Fox Hollow Farm, creating a backdrop that felt both elegant and natural.

A Celebration of Style and Joy

Caitlyn looked radiant in a classic strapless gown, her unique train lined with pale blue flowers adding a delicate flourish that brought her gown to life. Beside her, Craig’s crisp white jacket and black bow tie were the perfect complement. Together, they were a striking pair, but what made them unforgettable was their energy. They joked, laughed, and kept things lighthearted throughout the day. Yet when it came time for tender, romantic moments, they leaned in wholeheartedly.

Reception Under the Tent

Guests were welcomed with signature cocktails and fresh seasonal bites before stepping into a stunning reception tent. With chandeliers hanging overhead, a black-and-white checkered dance floor, and long tables adorned with pastel florals, the space struck a perfect balance of sophistication and charm. Details like patterned linens, delicate floral centerpieces, and elegant place settings created a timeless garden-party feel. The hand-embroidered custom napkins by the bride and her mom were such a delight – what a unique and personalized way to celebrate what the couple loves so dearly, like their pup Sterling.

Dancing the Night Away

As the evening unfolded, Caitlyn and Craig’s choreographed first dance set the tone for a lively night ahead. Under the twinkle of chandeliers, they twirled across the dance floor with pure joy. Later, guests joined in with glow sticks, laughter, and endless energy, keeping the party going late into the night.

From heartfelt toasts to a joyful cake cutting, every part of the evening was filled with love and laughter. And when the night came to a close, Caitlyn and Craig asked their guests to step outside so they could share one last dance in private. Watching them savor those quiet final moments together, just the two of them on the empty dance floor, was such a sweet moment to witness and document, the perfect ending to a day filled with so much love.

Caitlyn and Craig opted for a dreamy cream European Linen album with gold debossing on the cover and spine. It perfectly encapsulated their wedding memories with style and sophistication.
