Jonathan and Regina checked all the boxes when they planned their little white chapel wedding in Tacoma. They combined a charming white chapel full of history, with a fun backyard reception, and added sophisticated black and white details throughout. The result was a celebration that was fun, elegant, and joyful.
Old St Peter’s Church in Tacoma was perfect to house a small, intimate wedding. Now one of the oldest buildings in the city, the church is perfectly white both inside and out, with stunning stained glass windows and antique details. The bride’s gorgeous satin gown was timeless (she also had a second look for the reception!) and the bridal party’s black attire added to the picture. After a beautiful ceremony, the bride and groom were taken around the building and up the stairs to ring the bell atop the church to celebrate their marriage.
After the beautiful wedding ceremony, family and friends gathered at a family home to celebrate with a sophisticated backyard party. Tables draped in white, black accents, and pops of green decorated the reception. The bride and groom enjoyed the company of their loved ones, champagne, food, and cake. All before the thunder showers arrived!
This couple enjoyed planning their wedding reception on their family’s large property. For couples who want a beautiful outdoor reception, there are a wide variety of options in the Seattle area. And all can accommodate both ceremony and reception plans. The Pacific Northwest in the summer is a beautiful time of year to enjoy an outdoor ceremony, reception, or both.
