A hint of game of thrones at UW Center for Urban Horticulture

May 4

I’m sure you’re probably wondering how the heck there’s a hint of Game of Thrones in this wedding. Well, there’s a ton of awesome little cool things in this wedding it’s hard to pick a favorite. I mean, we have to start with these shoes!

Then there is her hair. It’s the perfect shade of blue. Her maids had slightly different colored blue dresses and ribbons to match. Which matched the shades of blue on the groomsmen ribbons. Challenging? Um, yeah. But I knew it was going to look amazing! Challenge accepted and completed!

And the UW Center for Urban Horticulture does not disappoint! It is absolutely gorgeous. Here’s a quick scroll through with pictures from the venue. Check out University of Washington Botanic Gardens on pinterest!

And now you’re wondering where the Game of Thrones is right? Well, what if I said they actually had knights fighting in the courtyard during the cocktail hour! Yes. They totally did. And it was amazing!

So, here I am setting up the reception in the room and I hear clang clang shing…(the best medieval fight noises I know). It was hard not to stare! So entertaining!

Here are a few tips to create a unique and captivating experience for your guests:

Go with a theme that you guys are both nuts over.
Find ways to tie in your theme. (if you love beer, maybe think of having hops for a fall wedding)
Think about hiring an entertainer, or some live action element to keep guests involved, entertained and having a great time.
It’s the small details that add up to a really impacting memory. Even if it’s the tiniest flower in your bouquet. Emily chose to have a few dainty stems of snowdrops in her bouquet. One of those details a guest may never see, but that you’ll remember forever.
