Today we have dreamed of browsing the photos of the amazing garden wedding of Ludmila and Yuriy.

From Martha Stewart’s blog, in an article by Blythe Copeland, we have discovered the story behind this very romantic wedding.

“Ludmila, who owns Music Schoolhouse studio in Mill Creek, Washington, and Yuriy, who owns three wedding and event companies—Romashka Bridal, Top Tier Tux, and Noble Rentals—wanted to plan the event themselves, says Ludmila, “spending over a year meticulously researching, sourcing, curating, and ultimately planning our perfect June wedding. However, 2020 threw everyone a curveball, shattering all of our carefully laid plans. From planning on postponing, to planning an elopement followed by a reception the following year, to having our state open back up briefly, there were many, many pivots.”

Finally, they committed to a 40-guest wedding on July 25, 2020, at Lairmont Manor, their original venue. “The architecture and classic gardens won our hearts from our first venue visit,” says Ludmila. “If we couldn’t really get our family to Europe for a destination wedding, this was going to be our Europe at home in the states.” They emphasized a floral aesthetic, using Ludmila’s favorite flowers—including Icelandic poppies—as a starting point. “That was the original inspiration for our entire color palette: a lush rose gold garden,” says the bride. “For us, making it personal was all about the curated details. We wanted to create an enjoyable bespoke experience for our family and friends that included all the things that bring us joy. From the flowers to the food, we wanted an atmosphere of sunshine and romance to tell an age-old love story.”

What we make very proud is to have, somehow, contributed to give an emotion. Are you asking why?
Because the cocktail hour included a gelato cart from Nutty Squirrel (one of our loyal clients), and the words of the bride Ludmila had moved us. “Since we could no longer go to Italy on our honeymoon as planned, we wanted to bring a little taste of Italy to our wedding instead,” says Ludmila.

Stories like this make our day better.
