An Elegant, Classic Wedding at Monte Cristo Ballroom in Everett, Washington

Katlyn Stuart (25 and a financial consultant) and Ryan Malerk (26 and a retail manager) searched for an indoor venue for their classic wedding, and stumbled across Monte Cristo Ballroom in Everett, Washington, that set the perfect elegant tone. They decorated the space with details that followed the pink, white and silver palette, which guests previewed through the romantic wedding invitations. Ryan wore a silver tie tucked underneath his black tuxedo jacket, pinned with an ivory rose and baby's breath boutonniere. His classic look went beautifully with Katlyn's elegant dress—a white A-line gown with a sweetheart neckline and a full skirt. The flower arrangements added fresh inspiration to Monte Cristo Ballroom, which was filled with a pink and white combinations of hydrangeas, roses and baby's breath. The gorgeous white and silver cake had different-textured patterns decorating each tier, propped up on a silver stand with a presentation that took our breath away. "Our first cut was a difficult one, but with our combined strength, we were able to cut through the formerly unknown plastic layer," Katlyn says. "Nevertheless, it was delicious."
