A Dreamy Backyard Wedding in Seattle

Looking back at Monique and Peter’s Seattle backyard wedding, the day bursts with joy and authenticity. Every moment reflected their love for family, Seattle roots, and life’s simple beauties. The perfect blend of heartfelt tradition and laid-back vibes, their wedding embodied everything I adore about Seattle weddings.

Held in Mo’s childhood garden, they exchanged vows beneath majestic redwoods, with Pacific Northwest greenery framing the scene. Their closest family and friends gathered around, radiating warmth and love. This was truly a celebration of connection, not just between the couple, but with everyone they hold dear.

True Pacific Northwest Vibes for this Seattle Wedding

For a reception that screamed “Seattle,” Monique and Peter were chauffeured to Ravenna Brewing Co. in their family’s treasured camper van, ‘Vanny,’ driven by the bride’s aunt and uncle. Their guests, riding in a school bus, followed, creating a fun and laid-back vibe that had everyone smiling.

The reception was packed with personal touches—gold foil coasters featuring their Australian Shepherd Indy, lanterns, and beautiful Pike Place Market bouquets. The energy was unforgettable as guests snapped Polaroids for the guestbook and grabbed custom tattoos, truly making this celebration one of a kind.

Sweet Treats & Unforgettable Seattle Street Moments

Their evening was capped with some seriously PNW-inspired treats. After heartfelt toasts and dances, everyone indulged in ice cream served by Bluebird Ice Cream’s adorable truck and later feasted on burgers from Dick’s—because what’s a Seattle wedding without some local icons?

Monique and Peter’s journey, which began in New York, blossomed in Seattle, where they now call home. From the bride’s Birkenstocks to Peter’s career as a Seattle firefighter, every detail echoed their love for this city. Sneaking away for golden hour portraits made their day even more dreamy.
