Wedding Jewelry: Northwest Bride Stylishly Wears Bacca Pearl Jewelry
June 10th, 2009 | Published in Bacca Shanghai Pearls, Featured Pearl News, Wedding Jewelry | 2 Comments
Long time Northwesterners, Margo and Clayton wanted a wedding that highlighted the beauty that Seattle has to offer. The wedding took place in the garden of close friends, where they were able to enhance the gorgeous setting with unique, earth friendly details. We love the colors, the natural beauty, and of course – that the bride sports our pearls so well!! Be sure to keep an eye out for Part II where the bride will answer some questions about her wedding!
The Bride and Groom. Margo wears our triple strand circle pearl bracelet and 12-13mm white button pearl earrings.
The wedding ceremony took place in a tucked away spot in the garden. Bamboo chairs await the guests.
Rose pedals, from the local farm chosen to grow Margo’s flowers, line the aisle. Handmade cones held extra pedals for guests to throw as the bride and groom left the ceremony.
The bride wears a Peter Langer dress. We love the texture – pin tucked silk, which makes this stunning dress very garden appropriate.
The flowers used throughout the wedding were grown for the wedding at a nearby farm. The bride’s mom picked the flowers a day before the wedding and created all of the flower arrangements for the wedding.
Just married!
Wheatgrass (grown by the bride herself) held the seating assignments.
The tables, named by the flowers that were used throughout the wedding, held simply beautiful centerpieces. The 150 vases that held these beauties were collected from family, friends and local garage sales for months before the wedding.
Having just purchased a new home with an ancient fence, Margo and Clayton took the fence apart to put in a new one that would safely keep their dogs, Twiga and Kodi, safely in the back yard. Not wanting to waste the old fence, they used the posts to point guests in the right direction.
Bridesmaid’s bouquets.
The guestbook table; with both a picture frame for guest to sign and a book for photo booth pictures with guests’ messages.
As the night wore on, a bonfire was lit to keep the guests warm.

Caroline,
Cool! Brings back fond memories of a glorious day. I must say, however, that you make me sound like a wonder woman! In fact, I hired a local grower to raise (and harvest!) the flowers, Britt drove them up from this area, and Donna Lively “did” almost all the bouquets, etc. I organized it, but had LOTS of wonderful help, including your mom!
Look forward to seeing you soon on ANOTHER wonderful occasion.
Love, Pam
