A Simple Wedding at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Seattle, Washington

Courtney Dremlyuga (24, a marketing specialist) and Andrew Dremlyuga (24, a financial analyst) first met during their freshman year at Gonzaga University but did not start dating until they had a marketing class together two years later. Andrew planned a special proposal complete with a drive in a white 1950's Bentley to their favorite spots. At the first two locations, Courtney found a bouquet and card with a short note from Andrew about their past and present. The final stop was to a rooftop patio where he got down on one knee. Just under a year later, the couple had a simple wedding at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Seattle. Shades of white, silver and eggplant decorated the space to create a “modern, elegant and simple look,” says Courtney. Her and Andrew rented the hotel’s second floor for their celebration. The ceremony was decorated with a simple arch covered with string lighting while the reception included simple white linens, framed table numbers and DIY floral centerpieces for a personal touch. Courtney and Andrew served a buffet dinner with multiple options including a carving station for prime rib and ham. "The DJ and MC got the dancing started after dinner and everyone spent the night dancing and taking breaks to frequent the photo booth!” says Courtney. The couple served cupcakes and their two-tier yellow frosted wedding cake for dessert before making their bubble exit.

Courtney and Andrew complemented each other by placing fun sayings at the bottom of their soles.
Courtney wore a strapless white mermaid Blu by Mori Lee wedding dress with a tulle skirt, sweetheart neckline and embellished waist.
Each of the bridesmaids wore a floor-length eggplant dress for AfterSix.com with a double stranded pearl necklace to match the bride.
A bottle of wine and a note were set in a rustic wooden box topped with the couple’s “D” initial.
The centerpieces were composed of flowers bought from a local farmer’s market, says Courtney. Each centerpiece included white dahlias, greenery and lilacs.
The couple chose a three-tier vanilla cake covered in yellow fondant for their wedding. It was surrounded by three different flavored cupcakes with white icing.
The couple exited their wedding under a shower of bubbles blown by their 125 friends and family members.
