Romantic Waterfront Wedding at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland, Washington

Liana Kris (25, an auditor) and Michael Wagner (27, in finance) both went to Western Washington University, but didn’t connect until after graduation when they worked for the same financial company. Liana and Michael started to date and shared many memories of traveling, spending time with loved ones and being huge fangs of the Seattle Seahawks. The couple took a trip to Maui, Hawaii where Michael proposed to Liana, and celebrating their engagement the rest of their vacation until it was time to come home and start planning. The couple had their wedding at the Woodmark Hotel, located right near Lake Washington that provided a gorgeous, natural backdrop of the Olympic Mountains. After the outdoor ceremony, the matron of honor and best man joined Liana and Michael on a boat ride along the lake, and celebrated with the cocktail hour at their own with champagne and hors d’oeuvres while guests had theirs back at the wedding venue. Centerpieces of white peonies, ranunculus, roses and hydrangeas decorated the venue during the evening, which matched the bouquet and boutonnieres. The couple’s monogram decorated the invitations, table numbers and place cards at the reception, making the wedding day truly all about them.
