Judeashia + Jack
July 2st, 2023 in Sultan, WA
When Judeashia first imagined her wedding, she pictured boho vibes on a beach—but fate had a more magical plan. Once her mom found a whimsical forest venue in Sultan, WA, everything changed. With help from an incredible planner, Judeashia and her partner brought their dreamy vision to life with a peach, cream, and cornflower blue palette, cozy touches like lanterns and bunny tails, and a day full of laughter, ice cream, and one record-breaking photo booth moment. From first looks that stopped time to a bubble gun send-off, every detail was pure magic.
What was the vision for your wedding?:
We wanted a boho theme and initially to have it on the beach, but then my mom found the most beautiful venue I’ve ever seen. It was surrounded by trees and flowers, in sultan. It was literally like a magical fairy forest. At the end our planner had created a boho whimsical theme for us that we fell in love with. we had decided to go with a peach cream and cornflower blue color pallet. We had little glasses with flowers, with thank you letters and bunny tails on dinner plates on the tables with black lanterns, and long candles with cornflower blue cheesecloths on each table. We basically shot ideas at our planner and she made our vision come true! We chose most of our vendors from her recommendations and they were all so great to work with!
How did it go on the day of?:
It was so beautiful, better than I ever could have imagined! My bridal party came over and we all got ready and one of my girls made us breakfast, then we headed to the venue. I was not nervous at all until my wedding planner told us it was time for first looks! Sweaty hands, butterflies in my stomach and a few tears shed as I was getting ready to walk to my now husband. We locked eyes and as cliche as it sounds, it’s like time stopped. We stood there for a moment in silence, nervous giggles like the first time we met. Of course there was traffic for our guests so our ceremony was a little delayed, my mom and dad both walked with me, instead of walking straight down the aisle we chose to walk the trail that looped around the pound, guests were able to get a sneak peak of me as I walked towards the ceremony dock, emerging from the forest. We had the fountain and pound right behind us, with our family and friends in front. My husband's uncle was our officiate, which just added another level of special to our day, and it was just perfect! We had a chamorro buffet style with a whole pig at the end, (we had so much left overs we gave some to the hotel staff! Lol) an ice cream and pretzel cart, and a photobooth for our guests to enjoy. We took some photos on the bridge over the pond, ate some ice cream, danced, laughed, shared stories with family and friends, and we also broke the record for how many people can fit in the Photo Booth! We got 20 people in a small camper, there was no room, we were all laughing at how cramped and sweaty we were since we basically dog piled in. At the end of the night we had a bubble gun send off. It was such a magical day and one of the best days of my life, getting to marry my best friend surrounded by the family and friends that we love.
What is your #1 tip to future brides?:
The #1 tip I have to future brides is get the wedding planner! It is so worth it, the whole year of planning was so smooth and especially the day of! Our planner literally took care of everything, from contacting vendors to making appointments, and everything in between. All we had to do was give her the ok and tell her what we wanted.
