Joe, a small town guy working in Law Enforcement, and Tara, an adventurer and  pediatric occupational therapist, met on blind date in 2012 (with the the help of Joe's sister). At the time, Tara was on summer break from graduate school, living with her mom in Grays Harbor, Washington. Joe, was also living in the area and working night shift. Tara received a sweet text message from Joe asking her out on a date later that week. The date consisted of Mexican food, beers, bowling, and playing cards. He sure knew the way to her heart!! ;) These two hit it off that Friday night and sparks went flying! The love birds saw each other 30 days in a row that summer... little did they know, that blind date would begin a lifetime of happiness and love.Roll that calendar back to where it actually all began... prior to this blind date - When Tara got into graduate school at University of Puget Sound, she connected with Jenna (Joe’s sister) about housing in the Tacoma area and talked to Cam (Jenna’s husband) about all things grad-school related. Jenna and Cam soon welcomed Tara to her new city. After a few weeks of getting settled in Tacoma, they both mentioned wanting to introduce Tara to Jenna’s brother, Joe... yet Tara (who remained busy studying at school) would constantly shy away from the idea. In the meantime, Jenna and Cam were whispering the same ideas into Joe’s head. Joe fluffed off the idea as well (being busy himself establishing his new career in Law Enforcement). When the timing was right roughly 9 months later... Joe finally sent that sweet little text message to Tara.In December 2014, Joe and Tara purchased their first home in the beautiful PNW. Together, they quickly learned the ropes of home-ownership. After dating for 5 years, Joe proposed to Tara on Memorial Day 2017 out on the tennis courts. It was a sweet surprise after a few intense tennis matches on a 80+ degree day. Tara initially thought it was another one of Joe's classic jokes, but when she realized it was the BIG moment, Tara couldn't have be more surprised and over-the-moon excited!!When planning our dream wedding, we focused on what was meaningful to us... we wanted the wedding to have a relaxed, yet intimate feel, and reflect our personalities. Tara wanted to do all aspects of design, planning, and DIY’ing with the help of Erin Day Events coordinating the logistics and some meetings with vendors. During the planning process, we continued to ask ourselves “is this meaningful to either of us? YES or NO.” Once we established what was meaningful, things really started to fall into place. YES, to hire a kickass photographer, Asia Dore. YES, to a First Look without our bridal party or family present. YES, to chugging tall cans of Rainier beer during our First Look. YES, to having the groom walk his mother and grandmother down the aisle. YES, to the groom’s uncle marrying us. YES, to writing our own vows. YES, to our mothers lighting the ceremony candles for our unity candle. YES, to a receiving line as people entered into cocktail hour. YES, to a Woodfire pizza food truck. YES, to a keg of Stella cider. YES, to a sparkler exit as we left in a 1959 Rolls-Royce. On the other hand, there were a lot of things that were not meaningful to us. Here are just a few: NO to exchanging bride and groom gifts. NO to a huge, expensive cake. NO to father-bride or mother-groom dance. NO to bouquet toss or garter toss. Not one person noticed what we didn’t include and we don’t regret omitting certain things even for a moment. At the end of the day, everyone had joy in their hearts for us and we had officially tied the knot. Some advice for future brides and grooms: Pinterest is great at the beginning  stages of wedding planning to gather some amazing ideas. However, once you establish a theme and have a vision, stop continuing to “pin” more pictures. It becomes very overwhelming quick and is difficult to make decisions the more options you have. Then once you get opinions of friends, family, and vendors on top of it all, forget it!! Try to only have 10-15 “pinned” pictures total, not 100+, not even 30. Trust me, you’ll be lost in your own vision. Stick to your guns and you’ll love the final result.

Christian weddings are more or less traditional, but much depends on the congregation and couple’s wishes. Plus, there are numerous different denominations of Christians, with varying belief systems.

However, what all Christian weddings have in common is including readings from the Bible, though it’s up to you which passages they will be and if they’re sung or recited.

Need vendors for your christian wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Faith is an extremely important thing to many, and when it comes time to begin your life as a married couple, it is only natural that many couples wish to express their love in a way which corresponds with their belief system. 

Christian weddings are often held in the church that the couple attends. Similarly, it’s common for the couple’s pastor to perform the ceremony, with possible involvement and assistance from other church members.

There are so many venue options when it comes to modern weddings. Lofts and rooftops are popular choices for this wedding style, but we like the idea of mixing it up a little by exchanging your vows at a museum, distillery or even a nightclub.

Bold signage is everything at a modern wedding—the larger, the better!

Need vendors for your modern wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

The modern wedding style is typically very clean and sleek with a minimal color palette and some metallic details. Wedding attire is sophisticated and chic and the florals are often monochromatic or greenery-heavy. Think bold lines or geometric designs when it comes to the overall décor details 

A modern wedding style is refined and simple, but daring. It's typically a formal vibe and we see a lot of white and black with modern weddings, but also bold colors like teal, eggplant and fuschia. The décor often features florals like calla lilies or dahlias, as well as ghost chairs, Edison bulbs, neon signs and greenery walls. The fashion is a big component of modern weddings—we love a fearless colored suit or backless sheath gown.

Whimsical

Traditionally, we see a gorgeous garden party wedding with plenty of lace, especially when it comes to the wedding dress, and rustic touches. If you're looking for more of a flashy appeal, consider metallics, sequins and even a New Year's Eve wedding date!

We love the idea of using an old-school car as your reception exit vehicle.

Need vendors for your Vintage wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Vintage weddings are a romantic and popular style perfect for a couple who loves the glam of the 20s or simple beauty of the Victorian era. The vintage wedding style will fit in perfectly at a garden venue, estate or historic home or inn.

A vintage wedding is perfect for the romantic at heart. You can embrace the glamour of the roaring '20s or the modern retro of the '50s or even the bohemian natural beauty of the '60s. A vintage wedding style is broad and the definition is different for every couple. We recommend venues with a little history and to really embody the era your theme is based on from the attire to the reception exit.

Boho

A summer wedding typically has at least one element of the day that's outside. Make sure you have shaded options that allow guests to avoid the sun. We love the idea of handing out parasols, fans or sunglasses as wedding favors so guests can use them during the day.

Think fresh, light and airy when it comes to food and drinks and even colors.

Need vendors for your summer wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Summer weddings are those held in the months of June, July and August. This is considered "wedding season" and is one of the most popular times to get married. Some wedding styles we often see in summer include boho, rustic, casual, nautical and tropical weddings.

Because summer is widely considered "wedding season," you'll see higher prices on venues and vendors between Memorial Day and Labor Day so keep that in mind when figuring out your budget. There's good reason so many couples choose to get married in the summer. Inclement weather is not nearly as much of a concern, outdoor ceremonies are much easier to plan and, of course, there's an endless variety of bright blooms to include in your day!
