Fabulous Fall Finds

In my  humble opinion, Fall is the very best time of year for a wedding... 
The colors are beautiful and the air is crisp.  There is no fear of wilting hair, runny make up, or sweltering guests.  Take a look as some of my favorite finds for this fabulous season.

  1. Food is undoubtedly my weakness, so I reserved Wedding venues Seattle where I especially mentioned to offer delicious food. So now I have one more reason to wait for my big day.
